Abstract:
Toxicology based on a deductive approach is called "deductive toxicology," which attempts to explain clinical and pathological findings by collecting all scientific information about the chemical substance under study and relating them to the essence of toxicity. We have introduced the method of signal toxicology into the deductive toxicology of metal and have shown that signal toxicity exists in heavy metals. Based on the results, we have proposed a new research strategy called "bioorganometallics," in which organic-inorganic hybrid molecules are used as molecular probes to analyze biological systems. This review outlines our research that has evolved from "deductive toxicology" to "bioorganometallics."

Antidotes
Specific antidotes operate by inhibiting the enzymes that control biochemical pathways, reducing the production of harmful metabolites.
An example of an antidote is atropine, which counteracts the detrimental effects of cholinesterase inhibitors. It achieves this by deactivating muscarinic receptors,...
Toxic Reactions: Overview
Toxicity falls into two primary categories: local and systemic.
Local toxicity appears at the exposure site, such as protein denaturation caused by caustic substances.
In contrast, systemic toxicity requires the toxic agent's absorption and distribution,...

Enhanced Elimination of Poison
Antidotes serve a crucial role in counteracting the effects of poison by inhibiting enzymes responsible for producing harmful drug metabolites. In some cases, these toxic metabolites can be neutralized by endogenous cosubstrates, which are maintained at specific concentrations to prevent interaction with cellular macromolecules and subsequent cell death.
