Q

What are subchronic toxicity studies?

A
  1. 2 species of lab animals used (rodent and non-rodent)
  2. drug administered orally every day) 3-12 months
  3. low, medium and high dose groups
  4. minimum 2 animals (10 of each sex) per group

19
Q

What does human safety (microbiology) evaluate?

Study These Flashcards
A
  1. spectrum of activity
  2. antimicrobial resistance
  3. effect on target animal gut flora
  4. effects on human gut flora
  5. impact on human medicine
20
Q

What are three aspects of human safety testing?

Study These Flashcards
A
  1. toxicology and pharmacology
  2. microbiology
  3. drug residues and metabolism
21
Q

What aspects of spectrum of activity of a drug are considered?

Study These Flashcards
A

activity to

  1. target animal pathogens
  2. food-borne pathogens
  3. commensal bacteria
22
Q

What aspects of antimicrobial resistance are examined in new drugs?

Study These Flashcards
A
  1. mechanism of AMR
  2. mechanism of AMR transfer
  3. rate of AMR development
  4. cross resistance to other antimicrobials
23
Q

What affects on animal gut flora are evaluated?

Study These Flashcards
A

if zoonotic pathogens in gut increase
if there are changes in fecal shedding
(changes usually transient)

24
Q

What is the microbiological acceptable daily intake?

Study These Flashcards
A

the concentration of drug in food residues that is required to cause changes in the gut flora (human)

25
What is the acceptable daily intake?
the amount of drug that can be consumed by a human over a lifetime with no adverse effects all drug residues in food (parent compond + metabolites must result in human intake
26
How is the ADI (acceptable daily intake) determined?
1. toxicology and microbiology data
27
What is NOEL
No observable effect level (NOEL)
28
What is NOEL
No observable effect level (NOEL)
29
what is the no observable effect level (NOEL)
highest dose in the most susceptible species that does not cause any adverse effects (rabbits or rats)
30
How do you calculate ADI
NOEL divided by a safety factor (usually 100)--10 for intraspecies variability, 10 for interspecies variability
31
What is microbial ADI?
for antimicrobial only | the lowest concentration of drug that can cause changes in the human gut flora
32
What is the maximum residue limit?
determines how much drug residue is allowed in food
33
How is the total residue limit determined?
total residue limit=ADI/food consumption factor
34
What is the maximum residue limit?
the maximum amount of drug MARKER RESIDUE allowed in tissue
35
What is the maximum residue limit based on?
based on a ratio of the marker residue to the total residue limit
36
What is the maximum residue limit based on?
based on a ratio of the marker residue to the total residue limit
37
What is a withdrawal period
1. period of time from last treatment until an animal can be slaughtered/milk/eggs used for consumption
38
What is the withdrawal period determined to be?
amount of time for the marker residue coencentration in the slowest animals treated with that drug to fall below the maximum residue limit
39
What is an issue with the withdrawal period?
have to follow the label!
40
What might make a carcass suspect?
1. injection site lesions | 2. evidence of pathology or illness
41
Who determines if the processing plant will take the milk?
processing plant and they can have different levels-even if the residue is below the MRI is may not be accepted
42
what are some factors that ensure that drugs are very safe?
1. extensive testing 2. 100x safety factor 3. very high food consumption assumed 4. withdrawal periods are based on residues from slowest depleting animals
