Abstract

Investigation into the role of bioactivation in drug-induced toxicity is one of the major areas of research since the link between reactive metabolites and drug adverse effects was well recognized. There have been a lot of reports clearly demonstrating that a drug can be 'metabolic activated'to toxic metabolites.[1] For this reason, in the drug development, several procedures aimed at identifying structural moieties that undergo metabolic activation to ...
