A review of the drivers for acute toxicity testing within the pharmaceutical industry led to a paradigm shift whereby in vivo acute toxicity data are no longer routinely required in...

In September 2009, the French Society of Genetic Toxicology and the German Society for Research on DNA Repair jointly organized the '2nd German-French DNA repair meeting - DNA damage and repair in ageing and degenerative diseases', which was held in Konstanz, Germany. Here we summarize the content of the oral presentations given in the various scientific sessions and of prize-winning posters.

Background: Despite the various medicinal applications of Glyphaea brevis, no toxicology data are available that could guarantee its safety or describe possible toxic effects. We studied acute and subacute toxicity leaf aqueous extract G. brevis (GbAE) in animal models.
 Materials methods: In study, mice were given a single oral administration GbAE at doses 1000, 2000 5000 mg/kg body weigh...
