Research on the estimate of safety and toxicity of p-nitrophenol sodium with a physiologically based pharmacokinetics model.
The safety and toxicity of chemicals given first to animals and finally to humans are generally estimated with a method of safe coefficient, which is scientifically a way lack of grounds. To make a change of the old method, we designed a Physiologically-Based Pharmacokinetics Model for the estimate of safety and toxicity of chemicals. As an example, p-nitrophenol sodium (PNP-Na) is used in the research work. Studies of the PNP-Na pharmacokinetics in bodies of rat as well as humans are made, and possibilities of making use of the Model in the estimate of safety and toxicity of chemicals are discussed.
