Abstract

In vitro methodologies have revolutionized the landscape of pharmacological safety assessment, offering a dynamic and efficient approach to evaluating the potential risks and benefits of novel therapeutic agents. Traditional preclinical safety assessments often relied on animal models, but in vitro methodologies have emerged as powerful tools to bridge the gap between preclinical and clinical stages of drug development. These methodologies encompass a range of techniques, including cell cultures, organoids, and advanced tissue engineering, allowing researchers to simulate complex physiological environments and interactions. This abstract provides a comprehensive overview of the transformative impact of in vitro methodologies on pharmacological safety, emphasizing their role in enhancing precision, accelerating drug development timelines, and refining our understanding of drug-induced adverse effects.
