Background:

  • Antifolate drugs can cause teratogenic effects.
  • Understanding these effects is crucial for drug development and safety.
  • Kinetic simulation offers a powerful tool for studying complex biological systems.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To utilize kinetic simulation and the BioCHIMICA software package for predicting the teratogenic effects of antifolate drugs.
  • To model metabolic pathways using systems of differential equations.
  • To investigate various aspects of antifolate-induced teratogenicity.

Main Methods:

  • Employing kinetic simulation to model metabolic pathways.
  • Utilizing the BioCHIMICA software for biochemical network simulation.
