Derek Nexus is the expert, knowledge-based software that gives you accurate toxicity predictions quickly. Toxicol. <> The carboxyl and carbonyl groups of impurity D scaffold formed hydrogen bond with ARG71 residue, and the pyridine ring on the C-3 position formed pi interactions with ARG323. doi: 10.1016/j.yrtph.2015.05.008, Guan, L., Yang, H., Cai, Y., Sun, L., Di, P., Li, W., et al. Therefore, the toxicity of impurity B may be similar to CAZ, but the toxic effect is enhanced. Cephalosporins with two toxic functional groups and one side chain adopted an extended form while the other side chain adopted a more folded form. A wide range of software tools are available for predicting physicochemical properties, toxicological endpoints and other biological effects, as well as fate in the environment and biological organisms. The drug regulatory agencies of various countries and international organizations require the identification and control of impurities in drugs—especially the control of genetic toxicity impurities (Pikul et al., 2016; Kragelj Lapanja et al., 2017). At high concentrations, the embryo body is shorter and curved, the body is dark, the notochord is abnormal, and the yolk sac extension shorter and thicker (Sun et al., 2014). Han, Y., Zhang, J., and Hu, C. (2018a). Excretion is predicted based on the total clearance model and renal OCT2 substrate. CAZ can be administered by intramuscular or intravenous injection with high blood concentration, low protein binding rate (10–17%), renal excretion (80–90%), wide distribution in vivo, and blood–brain barrier penetration (25%) (Zasowski et al., 2015; Falcone and Paterson, 2016). The structural alerts show interactions with genetic material that will induce gene mutation or cause chromosome rearrangement and fragmentation. Impurity I may have hepatotoxicity. Copyright © 2020 Elsevier B.V. or its licensors or contributors. Impurity B is a CAZ E-isomer with good Caco 2 permeability that is easily absorbed. Figure 4. Results are now displayed for the most similar chemicals in the training and test sets (enables users to assess confidence in the predicted value) 1. Rule 9 states that impurity C can induce neurotoxicity and cardiotoxicity. (2014). The PSA_2D of CAZ as well as impurities A, B, D, E, G, and H were all greater than 140, suggesting that these compounds had strong polarity and were not easily absorbed by the body. (I) The active site of GRM1A. A systematic toxicity evaluation of cephalosporins via transcriptomics in zebrafish and in silico ADMET studies. According to Rule 7, the toxic effect of CAZ E-isomer is mainly based on C-3 side chain structure, and it is more easily absorbed. QSAR and Toxicity Prediction Software Distributed for free by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The result suggested that impurity D and I have poor absorption and permeation. Embryo and developmental toxicity of cefazolin sodium impurities in zebrafish. 17, 292–306. The most suitable template for homology modeling is metabotropic glutamate receptor subtype 1 ligand form I (PDB ID: 1EWT) from rattus norvegicus which shares 83.61% identity with GRM1A. Study on ceftazidime impurity H. Chin. doi: 10.1093/nar/gku340, Chen, B., Gao, Z. Q., Liu, Y., Zheng, Y. M., Han, Y., Zhang, J. P., et al. Impurity B is the E-isomer of CAZ. Compounds with similar structure have similar toxicity. The distribution of drugs depends on factors that include the blood–brain barrier (logBB), CNS permeability, and the volume of distribution (VDss). It is not a substrate of P-glycoprotein and is not easily transported; it may be metabolized in the liver and has hepatotoxicity. The authors declare that the research was conducted in the absence of any commercial or financial relationships that could be construed as a potential conflict of interest. . This suggests that impurity G may be the highest neurotoxicity compound (Table 2). Derek Nexus has various uses, including: Impurities B and D may be the genetic impurity in CAZ and may also have neurotoxicity. Figure 1. TopKat® (TOxicity Prediction by Komputer Assisted Technology) is a BIOVIA software, a brand of Dassault Systèmes. Structural alerts of compounds using Toxtree analysis. In summary, the main toxic functional groups of CAZ and its impurities are the β-lactam ring of the scaffold, the quaternary amine group of the C-3 side chain, and the acetic acid (salt) on the C-7 side chain. Ceftazidime (CAZ) is a third-generation cephalosporin that has been commonly used since the 1990s. 7:117. doi: 10.3389/fphar.2016.00117, Qian, J., Han, Y., Li, J., Zhang, J., and Hu, C. (2018). Therefore, the toxicity of impurity H may be similar to CAZ, but the toxic effect is stronger. Comparative risk assessment of formulation changes in generic drug products: a pharmacology/toxicology perspective. Han, B., Kou, S., He, K., Han, Y., Wang, Y., Huang, T., et al. bioinformatics; admet; toxicity predictions . The biological properties of impurity B (CAZ E-isomer) are different from CAZ. The ToxCreate Application supports the case of creating a predictive toxicology model. The thiazole ring formed pi interactions with the ARG323 residue (Figure 4G). Impurity E is a tertiary methyl butyl ester derivative of CAZ. Furthermore, the bladder of the larvae (5 dpf) was small or absent, most larvae had delayed reaction to tail touch and showed less swimming (Han et al., 2018a,b). CAZ and impurities A, E, G, H, and I were predicted to difficultly cross the blood–brain barrier, but impurities B and D easily crossed. Resolution of contradiction between in silico predictions and Ames test results for four pharmaceutically relevant impurities. The results pages now list which fragment is missing if the fragment constraint is violated 2. Pharmacotherapy 35, 755–770.
