In the early 2000s, developing Sovaldi, a hepatitis C treatment, took over a decade and nearly $2 billion. Similarly, Zolgensma, a gene therapy for spinal muscular atrophy, required 15 years due to its complexity. However, the advent of artificial intelligence (AI) has revolutionized drug discovery. For example, in 2022, Pfizer's PAXLOVID, an oral COVID...

Objective of the manuscript is to identify the degradants observed in the thermal and oxidation degradation sample of Empagliflozin and Linagliptin tablets by using LC-MS and HPLC-PDA instrumental techniques. Thermal and oxidation degradation samples were injected in HPLC-PDA and LC-MS instruments. Mass of the degradants were detected by LC-MS technique, ...

Read MoreToxicology studies help drug discovery scientists understand the adverse effects of New Chemical Entities (NCE) when administered to treat a disease. The studies are done on in-vitro assays and in in-vivo animal models to know the toxicity profile.
Good Laboratory Practise (GLP) toxicology studies are conducted under certified regulatory conditions. The studies are carried out based on procedures laid down by OEDC principles.
The purpose of toxicology studies/tests is to know the adverse/harmful effects of New Chemical Entities (NCEs) on the body of the organism on administration. These studies/tests help drug discovery scientists to design drugs.
Toxicology tests require a lot of time for chronic toxicity tests (6 to 12 months), other studies such as sub-acute (14 to 28 days), sub-chronic (90 days) require less time when compared to chronic toxicity tests.
Mice, rats, guinea pigs, hamsters, rabbits, dogs, monkeys, and minipigs are commonly used in in-vivo toxicity testing.
