What are the Key Toxicological Tests Conducted?

Several toxicological tests are conducted during the drug development process, including:
Acute toxicity testing: Determines the effects of a single dose or multiple doses within 24 hours.
Chronic toxicity testing: Assesses the effects of long-term exposure, often over a period of months to years.
Carcinogenicity testing: Evaluates the potential of the drug to cause cancer.
Genotoxicity testing: Determines whether the drug can cause genetic mutations or chromosomal damage.
Reproductive and developmental toxicity testing: Assesses the effects on fertility and fetal development.
