This study introduces a simple, cost-effective in vitro cytotoxicity test using Candida cells to assess substance toxicity. The method tracks surviving cells daily, offering a valuable alternative or supplement to in vivo testing.

Area of Science:

  • Microbiology
  • Toxicology
  • Cell Biology

Background:

  • In vitro cytotoxicity testing is crucial for screening substances.
  • Existing in vivo methods can be complex and costly.
  • There is a need for simpler, alternative toxicity assessment techniques.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a simple and inexpensive in vitro cytotoxicity test.
  • To evaluate the method as a complementary or alternative approach to in vivo testing for screening purposes.

Main Methods:

  • The proposed method involves treating Candida cells with the substance in bidistilled water.
  • Daily monitoring of the number of surviving cells is performed.
  • Results are presented as survival curves comparing treated cells to controls.

Main Results:

  • The number of surviving cells is inversely proportional to the substance's toxicity.
  • The method provides a quantitative measure of cytotoxicity.
  • The technique is described as simple and economical.

Conclusions:

  • The developed in vitro cytotoxicity test is a viable, simple, and cost-effective screening tool.
  • This method can supplement or replace in vivo toxicity assessments.
  • Further trials are recommended to validate its broader applicability.
