Interspecies variability between man, rabbit and rat in function and structure of major xenobiotic transport proteins in the placenta (Project)

According to OECD test guidelines 414 and 416 developmental toxicity studies are normally performed in animals, i.e. in rats or rabbits. In some cases the obtained data cannot be di-rectly transferred to the situation in humans (Newman et al., 1993) as there are major inter-species differences regarding the anatomy of the placenta as well as the expression of pro-teins involved in metabolism and...

Impact of chemical structure, physico-chemical substance properties, and study design on the dermal absorption rates of pesticidal/biocidal active ingredients (Project)

In the risk assessment of products containing pesticidal/biocidal active ingredients, estimating dermal absorption rates is regularly associated with considerable uncertainty due to lacking or insufficient data. This finding contrasts the notion that dermal absorption assessment constitutes a central aspect of user/consumer protection, which most significantly influences risk characterisation and...
