DRUG RESISTANCE TESTING NEW DRUG DEVELOPMENT (ANTI RETROVIRAL HIV) Cytotoxicity and Therapeutic Indexes

C. Cytotoxicity and Therapeutic Indexes
It is important to establish that an investigational drug has antiviral activity at concentrations that can be achieved in vivo without inducing toxic effects to cells. Furthermore, in a cell culture model, apparent antiviral activity of an investigational drug can be the result of host cell death after exposure to the drug. Cytotoxicity tests use a series of increasing concentrations of the antiviral drug to determine what concentration results in the death of 50 percent of the host cells (CC50 or CCIC50). The relative effectiveness of the investigational drug in inhibiting viral replication compared to inducing cell death is defined as the therapeutic or selectivity index (i.e., CC50 value/EC50 value). It is desirable to have a high therapeutic index giving maximum antiviral activity with minimal cell toxicity. We recommend determining CC50 values in both stationary and dividing cells from multiple relevant human cell types and tissues to ascertain the potential for cell-cycle, species, or tissue-specific toxicities. Studies determining cytotoxicity and therapeutic indexes should be conducted before the initiation of phase 1 clinical studies.
