  1. Naturally Occurring Level of Aflatoxin B1 Injures Human, Canine and Bovine Leukocytes Through ATP Depletion and Caspase Activation

    • International Journal of Toxicology

    • Aflatoxin (AF) B1 is a potent hepatotoxic, mutagenic, teratogenic mycotoxin and may cause immune suppression/dysregulation in humans and animals. Toxic effects of AFB1 on key mammalian immune cells (ie, leukocytes) needs to be mechanistically elucidated.

      • Natural toxins

  2. Pharmacovigilance Assessment of Drug-Induced Acute Pancreatitis Using a Spontaneous Reporting Database

    • International Journal of Toxicology

    • Background:Acute pancreatitis (AP) is associated with risks of morbidity and mortality.

  3. Evaluation of Juvenile Animal Studies for Pediatric CNS-Targeted Compounds: A Regulatory Perspective

    • International Journal of Toxicology

    • Central nervous system (CNS)-targeted products are an important category of pediatric pharmaceuticals. In view of the significant postnatal maturation of the CNS, juvenile animal studies (JAS) are performed to support pediatric development of these new medicines. In this project, the design and results of juvenile toxicity studies from 15 drug compounds for the treatment of neurologic or psychiatric conditions were analyzed.
