| Inhalt | With the pre-clinical toxicity being still the most prominent reason for drug attrition (doi:10.1038/nrd4609), this series of lectures and practical work focuses on our current possibilities to evaluate the toxic potential of a chemical compound (lead compound/drug candidate) using available in silico methods. Theoretical sessions elucidate standard concepts in modeling of various toxic phenomena (e.g. reactive toxicity, metabolites, physico-chemical aspects of toxicity) at the atomic level. Practical sessions are then focused on: • Computer simulation of molecular processes (ligand binding to off-targets, xenobiotic metabolism) • QSAR technologies for predicting toxicity endpoints • computational software: VirtualToxLab, Bioactivity Predictor, ToxTree, Lazar, QikProp etc. • Mechanistic interpretation of the predicted molecular triggering events and affected pathways • Endocrine (nuclear receptors) and metabolic (cytochromes P450) disruption; interference with the hERG ion channel Week 1 + Week 2: Lectures (general aspects of toxicity and its prediction) Week 3 - Week 6: Computer Laboratory Section (practical work with the software for toxicity prediction) Week 7: Student's project work presentations |
| Lernziele | Understanding the basic as well as advanced concepts of molecular simulation associated with toxicity endpoints. Use of the available software to estimate the toxic potential of drugs and environmental chemicals. Mechanistic interpretation of the results at the molecular level. Knowing strenghts and weaknesses of the computer predictions, applicability domain. |
