Abstract

This review considers the methods of investigation proposed by L. A. Piruzyan in the field of preclinical trials of physiologically active compounds: (1) the search for new physiologically active compounds illustrated by analysis of the developmental mechanisms of some diseases, such as jaundice of the newborn, renal and liver insufficiency, acute drug-induced intoxication, discoid and systemic lupus erythematosus, and lupus-like syndrome; (2) experimental studies on safety of medicinal substances—the testing of substances for mutagenicity and embryotoxicity, the preparation of compounds with antimutagenic and anticarcinogenic properties, the determination of preserved blood characteristics; (3) the stabilization of medicinal preparations for use—with drug oxidation inhibitors, and substances contained in liposomes. The ligand pathology concept is presented. The necessity of an individualized approach for assessment of chemical compound safety for humans in emphasized: it should be based on the activity determination of certain enzymes in each subject.
