IN VIVO TESTING Flashcards
Involves experiments conducted on living organisms, typically animals, to observe effects of a drug in a whole-body system.
IN VIVO TESTING
Involves experiments performed in isolated cells, tissues, or organs outside of a living organisms, providing a simplified model for studying drug effects.
IN VITRO TESTING
Evaluating the safety of drugs through _____ studies is a critical step in drug development process. These studies use live animal models to assess the potential risks and side effects of a drug candidate before clinical trials in humans.
IN VIVO
In vivo studies provide valuable insights into how a drug interacts with a living organism, including its?
ABSORPTION, DISTRIBUTION, METABOLISM and EXCRETION
In vivo studies provide ______ into how a drug interacts with a living organisms, including its absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion.
VALUABLE INSIGHTS
In vivo study provide valuable insights into how a drug interacts with a living organisms, including its absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion.
UNDERSTANDING DRUG BEHAVIOR
These studies assess the potential for a drug to cause adverse effects, such as organ damage, reproductive issues, or carcinogenicity.
EVALUATING TOXICITY
The data from in vivo studies helps researchers design safer and more effective clinical trials in human participants.
INFORMING CLINICAL TRIALS
Drug safety evaluations must comply with guidelines set by organizations like the?
FDA - FOOD AND DRUGS ADMINISTRATION
EMA - EUROPEAN MEDICINES AGENCY

Drug safety evaluations must comply with guidelines set by organizations like the FDA, EMA, OECD.
GLOBAL REGULATORY BODIES
In vivo studies must adhere to strict animal welfare regulations and protocols to minimize suffering.

2 types if Animal Models for Drug Testing:
RODENT MODELS
NON-RODENT MODELS
3 Rodent Models:
MICE
RATS
GUINEA PIGS
2 Rodent Models that is usually used in the Philippines
MICE
RATS
Most Common Animal Models for Drug Testing?
RODENT MODELS
Small size, short lifespan, east to breed and handle.
MICE
Larger size, longer lifespan, more robust physiology.
RATS
Rodent Model most common in US
GUINEA PIGS
A rodent model that is Similar to human in terms of vitamin C requirements
GUINEA PIGS
4 Non-Rodent Models:
PRIMATES
PIGS
DOGS
RABBITS
A non-rodent model that is closest to humans in terms of physiology and genetics, valuable for studying diseases like HIV and Alzheimer’s.
PRIMATES
A non-rodent model that test in monkey
PRIMATES
Used for studying organ transplantation and cardiovascular research, similar size and anatomy to humans.
PIGS
A non-rodent model that is large animal models for studying cancer; diabetes and cardiovascular diseases, long lifespan allows for chronic studies.
5/10 year study
DOGS
A non-rodent model used for studying reproductive and developmental toxicology convenient size and relatively low cost.
RABBITS
They are widely used in drug research due to their physiological similarities to humans.
