Toxicity5
- Hepatotoxicity (from hepatic toxicity) implies chemical-driven liver damage. (wikipedia.org)
- The liver plays a central role in transforming and clearing chemicals and is susceptible to the toxicity from these agents. (wikipedia.org)
- Hepatotoxicity and drug-induced liver injury also account for a substantial number of compound failures, highlighting the need for toxicity prediction models (e.g. (wikipedia.org)
- Drugs or toxins that have a pharmacological (type A) hepatotoxicity are those that have predictable dose-response curves (higher concentrations cause more liver damage) and well characterized mechanisms of toxicity, such as directly damaging liver tissue or blocking a metabolic process. (wikipedia.org)
