Toxicity tests
Single dose toxicity
- Guideline
OECD423-Acute Oral toxicity
TFDA 藥品非臨床試驗安全性規範
- Test system
1) Rodents: a study of 6 months duration;
2) Non-rodents: a study of nine months duration.
- Test Aims
To test the acute toxic effects of substances in mammals after single dosing (including multiple dosing completed within 24 hours).
It can used to define a maximum tolerated dose, and the dose setting for Phase 1 clinical trials.
Repeated Dose Toxicity Study
- Guideline
OECD407、OECD408
TFDA 藥品非臨床試驗安全性規範
- Test system
1) Rodents: a study of 6 months duration;
2) Non-rodents: a study of nine months duration.
- Test Aims
The test substance is orally administered daily in graduated doses to several groups of experimental animals, one dose level per group . During the period of administration the animals each day for signs of toxicity.
In Vitro Mammalian Chromosomal Aberration test
- Guideline
OECD 473
- Test system
Chinese hamster ovary cell
- Test Aims
The purpose of the in vitro chromosome aberration test is to identify agents that cause structural chromosome aberrations in cultured mammalian somatic cells.
Reproductive and Developmental Toxicity Studies
- Guideline
OECD 414、416
TFDA 藥品非臨床試驗安全性規範
- Test system
The preferred rodent species is the rat and the preferred non-rodent species is the rabbit. Justification should be provided if another species is used.
- Test Aims
The test of reproduction to provide general information concerning the effects of a test substance on male and female reproductive performance in different period.
