In silico assessments of mutagenicity under ICH M7
for drug impurities 
tablets-3532308_1920.jpg

The ICH M7 guideline provides a framework for assessing and controlling DNA reactive impurities in a pharmaceutical product.

 

In the absence of adequate experimental data, the results from two complementary QSAR methodologies, one expert rule-based and the second statistical-based, is combined to support an initial hazard classification and reduce the number of required experimental in vitro studies.

 

The scientists at ToxNavigation have more than 25 years of experience in in silico modelling to predict the effects of chemicals on humans and in the environment and can generate reliable toxicity data in silico by combining results from (Q)SAR models, chemical categories, grouping and read-across. 

Unique screening service

When an analytical chemist uses mass spectrometry for compound elucidation they start with a number of probable isomers. Final structural confirmation is time consuming causing a significant delay in assessing mutagenicity and sensitization. ToxNavigation can provide a cost effective screening service for the isomers for mutagenicity.
