Helminthiases of animals represent a serious problem for livestock production, especially for farms with high concentration of livestock, cause to livestock production the significant economic damage determined by death of animals, depression of efficiency, rejection of the organs struck with parasites and deterioration of production. Solutions of problems of a chemotherapy and prophylaxis of helminthiases of animals are assumed by existence of anthelmintic agents which high efficiency and safety is proved according to modern demands. For this purpose a certain order of scientific research at various levels, the most important of which is preclinical assessment of efficiency and safety on the basis of the international standards and ensuring comparable quality of results of researches, has to be carried out. Preclinical studies are conducted, as a rule, on adequate laboratory models of animals that allows to solve a series of important theoretical and practical questions, to tap new effective and safe substances and to offer for approbation in clinical conditions optimum doses and schemes of use of anthelmintic drugs for veterinary use.
The article provides an overview of methodical recommendations, rules and guidelines for conducting preclinical studies of general toxic effect of pharmacological substances on the basis of international requirements for research. The introduction of new drugs for veterinary use into civil circulation is preceded by set of scientific studies to assess their effectiveness and safety in accordance with modern requirements. At the same time, it is necessary to observe a certain order of research at various levels on the basis of international standards, the most important stage of which is the study of the toxic effect of pharmacological substance in preclinical conditions. Preclinical toxicological studies are carried out in order to exclude in animals of target species possible adverse effects of the drug in the course of clinical trials and their subsequent use in veterinary practice.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
