The use of toxicodynamics in risk assessment.

Abstract:

:Risk assessment of xenobiotics is a qualitative and quantitative assessment of toxic properties conventionally based on data resulting from tests in animals exposed to the substance. The assessment of dose-effect relationship includes evaluation of exposure at the site of action. More recently, emphasis is put on understanding the relationship between exposure at the site of action and the resulting effect, i.e. toxicodynamic. In this respect, results from genotoxicity studies may be a measure for exposure and at the same time of an effect. Results of toxicodynamic endpoints such as binding to receptors or release of hormones have been used when replacing default values for interspecies extrapolation. It may also be envisaged to use toxicodynamic endpoints in order to get an estimate of intraspecies variability. It was demonstrated that this approach may be helpful only if the relationship between the toxicodynamic endpoint and the definite endpoint is known by using the example of bisphenol A. Whereas there are clear effects of bisphenol A in in vitro and ex vivo studies, the classical two generation study has not been able to detect an effect on reproduction and/or fertility. Looking in the future development of toxicodynamic endpoints, gene profiling and the analysis of proteins ('proteomics') may be helpful tools employed in screening and being related to the mode of action are explored for their suitability in terms of toxicodynamic endpoints.
