Regulatory Toxicology

Overview

Regulatory toxicology is the branch of toxicology concerned with assessing the safety of drugs, chemicals, and other substances to support decisions made by regulatory authorities. It involves evaluating the potential for harm through standardized studies that examine effects such as acute and chronic toxicity, organ damage, reproductive and developmental effects, genotoxicity, and carcinogenicity. The aim is to identify hazards, characterize the doses at which adverse effects occur, and estimate the risk to humans, so that appropriate limits, warnings, and approval decisions can be set. Regulatory toxicology applies established testing guidelines and quality standards to generate data that authorities can rely on when judging whether a product is acceptably safe for its intended use. Within the journal's coverage of Advanced Pharmaceutical Science And Technology, regulatory toxicology connects to drug safety evaluation, pharmacovigilance, and the monitoring of adverse effects once products are in use. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to regulatory toxicology, supporting readers interested in safety assessment, risk characterization, and the toxicological studies and surveillance that inform regulatory decisions on the safety of medicines and chemicals.
