MARRYING IN VITRO AND COMPUTATIONAL APPROACHES TO IMPROVE DRUG SAFETY AND EFFICACY

Human in vitro methodologies are becoming invaluable tools for uncovering mechanisms of chemical‐induced perturbation. This coupled with techniques such as transcriptomics, metabolomics, proteomics and high content imaging can produce large amounts of data, capturing large chunks of biology. For such systems to be applicable to safety assessment, the kinetics of the chemical in the systems needs to be determined, and reverse dosimetry to the whole body should be applied. Computational approaches, including docking and dynamic models can also be used to supplement cheminformatics to predict chemical interaction with enzymes and receptors. The integration of biological data streams, with cheminformatics, kinetics and in vitro to in vivo extrapolation requires the marriage of in vitro and computational approaches. The improvement of efficacy and safety prediction is dependent on the evolution of these individual aspects in and integrated synergistic way. 

Keywords: Stress response, transcriptomics, safety, efficacy

Animal models

► Poor prediction of adverse drug reactions (high rate of false negatives (30 to 50 %), X % of false positives).

► Valid ethical concerns (3Rs).

► High cost and time.

► Not well suited to molecular investigations at a cellular level.

Human based in vitro systems

? Depends on the model.  Human skin models out perform animals for corrosion and irritation.  

Ethically sound.

Cheaper and quicker (in theory).

Ideally suited to molecular investigations –allowing much deeper mechanistic information.  

Why do we test drugs on/in animals ?

What options do we have for human cells?

Cell lines*Primary Stem cells

• Same donor• Phenotype does not 

respect donor or tissue origin

• Every time a new donor• Difficult to acquire tissue

• ES – same donor, but never lived

• iPSC – can choose a living donor

An adverse outcome pathway (AOP) is structured representation of biological events leading to adverse effects and is considered relevant to risk assessment.[1][2][3] The AOP links in a linear way existing knowledge along one or more series of causally connected key events (KE) between two points — a molecular initiating event (MIE) and an adverse outcome (AO) that occur at a level of biological organization relevant to risk assessment.[2] The linkage between the events is described by key event relationships (KER) that describe the causal relationships between the key events.
