Classification of Toxic Agents

1 Toxin 2 Toxicant

O refers to toxic substances that are PRODUCED BY BIOLOGICAL SYSTEMS such as plants, animals, fungi, or bacteria o May be CLASSIFIED OF THEIR PHYSICAL STATE, CHEMICAL STABILITY OR REACTIVITY, GENERAL CHEMICAL STRUCTURE, OR POISONING POTENTIAL

TOXIN

O toxic substances that are produced by or are a BY-PRODUCT OF HUMAN ACTIVITIES o Toxic substances that are SYNTHETICALLY PRODUCED BY HUMAN ACTIVITY (pesticides, insecticides)

TOXICANT

1 Expected side effect in the pharmaceutical drug. It is always associated with therapeutic effects 2 not common, Unexpected, undesirable effect. Not all patient is automatic can feel adverse effect

1 Side effect 2 Adverse effect

Immunologically mediated adverse reaction to a chemical resulting from PREVIOUS SENSITIZATION to that chemical or to a structurally similar to a chemical that you are exposed to DOSE RELATED Repeated exposure that is structurally similar with the chemical that you are exposed to

Allergic Reactions hypersensitivity, allergic reaction, sensitization reaction

1 o genetically determined abnormal reactivity to a chemical o NON DOSE RELATED 2 The response observed is usually qualitatively similar to that observed in all individuals.

1 Idiosyncratic Reactions 2 Chemical idiosyncrasy

1 o Occurs very rapidly or after single administration or exposure to particular substance o Example : STING BY BEE 2 o Delayed toxic effects usually they occur after the lapse of sometime meaning in year before to develop or within months

1 Immediate toxicity 2 Delayed toxicity

1 The only organ that regenerates 2 an injury from here is largely IRREVERSIBLE because its cells are differentiated and cannot be replaced. 3 __ effects of chemicals, once they occur, are usually considered irreversible toxic effects

1 Liver 2 CNS injury 3 Carcinogenic and teratogenic

1 OCCUR AT THE SITE OF FIRST CONTACT between the BIOLOGICAL SYSTEM and the TOXICANT. WITHIN A PARTICULAR SITE or mostly in SKIN AREA EXERT TOXICITY 2 REQUIRES ABSORPTION and DISTRIBUTION of a TOXICANT from its ENTRY POINT to a DISTANT SITE, at which DELETERIOUS EFFECTS ARE PRODUCED. It AFFECTS DIFFERENT ORGANS

1 Local Toxicity 2 Systemic toxicity

1 Target organs in order of frequency of involvement in systemic toxicity are: 2 __ are seldom target tissues or systemic effects.

1) 1 CNS 2 circulatory system; 3 the blood and hematopoietic system; 4 visceral organs such as the liver, kidney, and lung; and the 5 skin 2) muscles and bones

Interaction of chemicals

1 Additive effect 2 Synergistic effect 3 Potentiation 4 Antagonism

Interaction of chemicals 1) most commonly observed when two chemicals are given together occurs when the COMBINED EFFECT OF TWO CHEMICALS IS EQUAL TO THE SUM THE EFFECTS OF EACH AGENT GIVEN ALONE 1+1= 2 2) occurs when the combined effects of two chemicals are MUCH GREATER THAN THE SUM OF THE EFFECTS of each agent given alone 1+1=3 PRODUCES MUCH GREATER EFFECTS

1 Additive effect 2 Synergistic effect

Interaction of chemicals 1 one substance does NOT HAVE A TOXIC EFFECT on a certain organ or system but WHEN ADDED TO ANOTHER CHEMICAL MAKES THAT CHEMICAL MUCH MORE TOXIC 2 § when TWO CHEMICALS administered together INTERFERE WITH EACH OTHER’S ACTIONS or one interferes with the action of the other MOA of Antidotes

. 1 Potentiation 2 Antagonism

4 TYPES OF ANTAGONISM

1 Functional Antagonism 2 Chemical Antagonism / Inactivation 3 Dispositional Antagonism 4 Receptor Antagonism

O Occurs when TWO CHEMICALS COUNTERBALANCE EACH OTHER by PRODUCING OPPOSITE EFFECTS on the same physiologic function. o For example, the marked all in blood pressure during severe barbiturate intoxication can be effectively antagonized by the intravenous administration of a vasopressor agent such as norepinephrine or metaraminol.

Functional Antagonism

O simply a CHEMICAL REACTION BETWEEN TWO COMPOUNDS that PRODUCES a LESS TOXIC PRODUCT o For example, chelators o metal ions decrease metal toxicity and antitoxins antagonize the action of various animal toxins

Chemical Antagonism / Inactivation

O OCCURS WHEN the ABSORPTION BIOTRANSFORMATION, DISTRIBUTION, or EXCRETION of a CHEMICAL is ALTERED so that the CONCENTRATION and/or duration of the CHEMICAL at the target organ are DIMINISHED o depend on how fast the victim or one person to do this ADME o For example madaming laman ang tiyan then matagal ang absorption ng poison

Dispositional Antagonism

O occurs when TWO CHEMICALS THAT BIND TO THE SAME RECEPTOR produce LESS OF AN EFFECT WHEN GIVEN TOGETHER than the ADDITION OF THEIR SEPARATE EFFECTS or when one chemical antagonizes the effect of the second chemical o Receptor antagonists are often termed blockers. o For example; ANTIHISTAMINE it will bind to histidine decarboxylase o Binding of enzyme and active site

Receptor Antagonism

§ A STATE OF DECREASED RESPONSIVENESS to a TOXIC EFFECT OF A CHEMICAL resulting from prior exposure to that chemical or a structurally related chemical

Tolerance

Two major mechanisms are RESPONSIBLE FOR TOLERANCE:

1 due to a DECREASED AMOUNT OF TOXICANT REACHING THE SITE where the TOXIC EFFECT IS PRODUCED (dispositional tolerance) 2 due to a REDUCED RESPONSIVENESS of a TISSUE to the CHEMICAL

CHARACTERISTICS OF EXPOSURE The major routes (pathways) by which toxic agents gain access to the body are:

1 gastrointestinal tract (ingestion), 2 lungs(inhalation), 3 skin (topical, percutaneous, or dermal), 4 parenteral (other than intestinal canal) routes.

CHARACTERISTICS OF EXPOSURE Descending order of effectiveness/can give toxic effects:

1) IV, 2 Inhalational, 3 Intraperitoneal, 4 Subcutaneous, 5 Intramuscular, 6 intradermal, 7 oral and 8 dermal unless broken

DURATION AND FREQUENCY OF EXPOSURE 1) defined as EXPOSURE TO A CHEMICAL OR LESS THAN 24 HR. 2) refers to CONTINUOUS EXPOSURE OR LESS THAN 24 H, MOST FREQUENTLY 4 H. 3) Repeated exposure for 1 month or less 4) 1-3 months (REPEATED EXPOSURE FOR SEVERAL WEEKS OR MONTHS) 5) 3 months- years and above.

. 1 Acute 2 Acute exposure by inhalation 3 Subacute 4 Subchronic 5 Chronic

Repeated exposure is divided into three categories:

1 subacute, 2 subchronic, and 3 chronic.

Correlative relationship of the characteristic response of EXPOSURE and SPECTRUM OF EFFECTS of toxic agents Mostly CONSISTENT WITH THE DOSE OR AMOUNT OF TOXICANT INCREASES THE DOSE,= INCREASE THE RESPONSE or TOXIC EFFECT of one individual but sometime different response also will manifest to a population

Dose-Response Relationship

Dose-Response Two Types

1 Individual, or Graded Dose-Response Relationship 2 Quantal Dose-Response Relationship-Normal or Gaussian Distribution

§ characterized by a DOSE-RELATED INCREASE IN THE SEVERITY OF THE RESPONSE § As you INCREASE THE DOSE of the ORGANOPHOSPHATE the PERCENT INHIBITION also INCREASE. Therefore in this response there is DIRECTLY PROPORTIONAL relationship between the RESPONSE OF INHIBITION AND THE DOSE

Individual, or Graded Dose-Response Relationship

§ Population is classified as either a “responder” or a “nonresponder.” § LD50 - means you are trying to look on the 50% died on animal tested by giving a single dose of the substance then it is expected to death in 50% of the animal tested

Quantal Dose-Response Relationship-Normal or Gaussian Distribution

1 __ means ALL OR NONE 2 means you are trying to look on the 50% died on animal tested by giving a single dose of the substance then it is expected to death in 50% of the animal tested

1 QUANTAL 2 LD50

1 animals that RESPOND AT LOWER DOSE 2 Animals that DIED AT HIGHER DOSE

1 HYPERSUSCEPTIBLE 2 RESISTANT

2. Quantal Dose-Response Relationships: sigmoid dose-response curve 1) +-1 SD = __ population (%) 2) +-2 SD = __ population (%) 3) +-3 SD = __ population (%)

. 1) 68.3% 2) 96.5% 3) 99.7%

Non-nutritional toxic substances • U-shaped curve • May also impart beneficial or stimulatory effects at low doses but, at higher doses, they produce adverse effects. • EXAMPLE: For example, chronic alcohol consumption is well recognized to increase the risk of esophageal cancer, liver cancer, and cirrhosis of the liver at relatively high doses, and this response is dose related

Hormesis

RATIO of the DOSE REQUIRED TO PRODUCE TOXIC EFFECT and dose needed to ELICIT THE DESIRED THERAPEUTIC RESPONSE

Therapeutic Index = : TD50/ED50

1 The LARGER the ratio between the TD50 and ED50, the __ the RELATIVE SAFETY of the drug or tested substance

Greater larger ratio td50 & ed50 = MORE SAFE

§ INDICATOR OF THE MAGNITUDE OF THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AS ESTIMATED EXPOSE DOSE TO A HUMAN POPULATION and the no observable adverse effect level that is determined in the experimental animals § BETWEEN 1% and 99% RESPONDER

Margins of safety = LD1/ED99

1 range of doses over which a chemical produces increasing response 2 - reflects the limit of the dose response relationship on the response axis to a certain chemical o Increasing the dose will increase the response however, D has the maximal efficacy

1 POTENCY 2 EFFICACY

Variations in Toxic Responses:

1 Selective Toxicity 2 Species Differences 3 Individual Differences in response

Means that a CHEMICAL PRODUCES INJURY TO ONE KIND OF LIVING MATTER WITHOUT HARMING ANOTHER FORM OF LIFE eventhough the two may exist in intimate contact o For example BAYGON only insects are harmem

Selective Toxicity

O Experimental RESULT MAY DIFFER IN DIFFERENT SPECIES o Between man and animal Identifying the mechanistic basis or species di differences in response to chemicals establishes the relevance of animal data to human response EX. For example when tested in animals it developed TUMORS but when tested in humans no TUMORS was developed

Species Differences

O Due to GENETIC DIFFERENCES THAT HAS NO SIDE EFFECTS o GENETIC POLYMORPHISM o Idiosyncratic

Individual Differences in response
