Abstract:
Expectations are high that the use of proteomics, gene arrays and metabonomics will improve risk assessment and enable prediction of toxicity early in drug development. These molecular profiling techniques may be used to classify compounds and to identify predictive markers that can be used to screen large numbers of chemicals. One of the challenges for the scientific community is to discriminate between changes in gene/protein expression and metabolic profiles reflecting physiological/adaptive responses, and changes related to pathology and toxicology. In these proceedings we provide a brief overview of the technologies with focus on proteomics and the possible applications to mechanistic and predictive toxicology. The discussion also includes strengths and limitations of molecular profiling technologies.

Pharmacovigilance
This process, termed pharmacovigilance, aims to detect, evaluate, and minimize harmful effects related to medication use. The data collection for pharmacovigilance depends on spontaneous reporting systems, where healthcare professionals or patients voluntarily report suspected ADRs.

Effects of EDTA on End-Point Detection Methods
In the visual method, metal-ion indicators (metallochromic dyes), which have distinct colors in their free and complex forms, are added to the mixture to signal the titration's end point. They form stable complexes with metal ions, but these complexes are weaker than the corresponding metal–EDTA complexes. As a result, EDTA...
