29
Q

Animal Welfare Act 1999

A

Care for animals and need ethical approval

30
Q

3Rs

A

Replacement, reduction, refinement

31
Q

replacement

A

alternatives - computer models, charts and diagrams, invertebrates, tissue culture, videos

32
Q

reduction

A

as few as possible - compare related work, use statistic, tissues from already killed animals

33
Q

refinement

A

pain/suffering reduced - non-invasive observations of conscious animals, reduce invasiveness, use sedatives, monitor for stress

34
Q

Animal testing cons

A

expensive, not representative, use animal with disease

35
Q

Not representative example

A

Doxil - nanoparticle anticancer drug - effective in mice , humans tumours are low % of body mass - no accumulation

36
Q

FDA

A

manufactring, efficacy, moa, selectivity, ADME, adverse effects

37
Q

Test

A

acute system toxicity, carcinogenicity, gen-toxicity, neurotoxicity, pharmacokinetics, toxicokinetics, immunotoxicity, reproductive toxicity, miscellaneous safety

38
Q

Why rules?

A

keep people and animals safe from harm
detect problems before people are exposed
different protocols depending on potential rule

39
Q

Preclinical testing mRNA vaccines

A

mice for efficacy, rats for toxicity, rhesus monkeys for final animal model (homologous with ACE2 spike protein sequence)
need to kill animal to test organ conc (don’t want in blood or organs other than site, liver, spleen)

40
Q

thalidomide

A

no toxicity shown in animal tests, caused harm to the foetus

41
Q

TOX21

A

high throughput testing and data processing and modelling
toxicology studies that will reduce animal use
-> takes millions and several years to test toxicity

42
Q

QSAR

A

Quantitive Structure Activity Relationship
LogP, pH, molecular weight, surface area, CYP450, etc -> parameter
use standards for machine learning
in silico (computer)

43
Q

Organ on a chip

A

organ cells on plate, circulate drug around
Model key aspects, use human cells, patient specific
cannot model intact organs, doesn’t mimic in vivo, cell sourcing, need different media for different organs

44
Q

Adverse Outcome Pathways (AOP)

A

Determine toxicity via cells - bind to DNA or cell death etc

45
Q

compartment modelling

A

one part or two (organs + blood) use Vd

46
Q

ADMET modelling

A

test ADME properties before in vitro/in vivo

47
Q

good model

A

good input data, training with lots of information

48
Q

privileged structure

A

single molecular framework to create ligands for multiple receptors
(safe to use, pharmacokinetics and bioavailability

49
Q

partition coefficient

A

P- solubility based off polar, charged and neutral functional groups
bioavailability, transport, pharmacodynamics

50
Q

LogP

A

negative = more soluble in water, positive = lipophilic

51
Q

LogP too great

A

decrease solubility in water, decrease dissolution, decrease absorption, increase membrane trapping, decrease bioavailability

52
Q

Lipinski’s rule of five

A
< 5 H bond donors
< 500 MW
< 5 LogP
< 10 H bond acceptors
> 10 rotatable bonds
53
Q

Pharmocophores

A

areas of molecule hat can be changed to improve efficacy, absorption etc

54
Q

acetylcholine biosynthesis

A

ACh- rapidly hydrolysed in stomach and blood, poor absorption +ly charged, no selectivity
3 pharmacophores - steric hinder hydrolysis and nucleophilic attack

55
Q

Drug development

A

molecular target -> compound screen -> lead compound optimisation -> drug for preclinical evaluation

56
Q

hanges to molecule

A

Shape and size (rings), degree of saturation, functional groups

57
Q

Change shape and size

A

methylene groups, increase hydrophobicity (crossing membranes into bacterial cell)

58
Q

Change ring size and shape

A

non aromatic, changes binding and bond angles

59
Q

Change degrees of unsaturation

A

flexibility, increase metabolism, toxicity, potency

60
