Toxicology is the study of chemicals that can cause problems for living things. It’s a wide-ranging field: The chemicals may occur naturally or have been created in a lab or factory; the living things may be humans, pets, livestock, or microbes living in a pond. And the problems that concern toxicologists stretch from inconvenience to disaster—from mild skin irritation, for instance, to death. But the challenge at the heart of toxicology is not as simple as identifying dangerous chemicals and safe ones. There’s a saying among toxicologists that the dose makes the poison—a chemical that is perfectly safe at one dose may be lethal at another. You can’t live without water, for instance, but if you drink enough of it fast enough, it can kill you by disturbing the balance of sodium and water in your blood.
Drug discovery involves the identification of screening hits, medicinal chemistry and optimization of those hits to increase the affinity, selectivity, efficacy/potency, metabolic stability, and oral bioavailability. Once a compound that fulfills all of these requirements has been identified, the process of drug development can continue, and, if successful, clinical trials. One or more of these steps may, but not necessarily, involve computer-aided drug design. A toxicology screen is a test that determines the approximate amount and type of legal or illegal drugs that taken. It may be used to screen for drug abuse , to monitor a substance abuse problem, or to evaluate drug intoxication or overdose. Toxicology screening can be done fairly quickly. The test is most often done using a urine or blood sample. In some cases, a sample of saliva or hair may be used. The results can show the presence of one specific drug or a variety of drugs at once. Further testing may be needed to determ...
The goal of preclinical safety assessment should be to provide some assurance that patients will be protected from any unacceptable risks by defining safe and active doses. These data have been useful in providing some assurance that severe adverse effects would not be induced in patients.

Toxicogenomics is a branch of toxicology which applies several genomic analysis techniques to determine how chemicals, both environmental and pharmaceutical agents, react on human and ecological health. It includes technologies such as genome sequence analysis, proteomics , metabolomics, and bioinformatics to detect toxic agent-induced alterations in genetic expression, protein expression, and metabolite production; moreover, effects of these alterations on phenotypic expressions at the cellular, tissue, and organism levels is also studied. Such information provides a deeper understanding of how biologic pathways respond to toxic substances.
