First‐in‐Human Study of Merotocin, a Short‐Acting Peptidic Oxytocin Receptor Agonist for Lactation Support

Clinical Pharmacology in Drug Development, EarlyView.
Abstract Endogenous oxytocin plays an important role in lactation, but its effectiveness as an exogenous galactagogue has been modest due to dose‐limiting side effects related to off‐target effects at the vasopressin V2 receptor. Merotocin (FE 202767) is a short‐acting peptidic oxytocin receptor agonist with the potential to aid mothers experiencing ...

Severity of effect considerations regarding the use of mutation as a toxicological endpoint for risk assessment: A report from the 8th International Workshop on Genotoxicity Testing (IWGT)

Environmental and Molecular Mutagenesis, EarlyView.
Abstract Exposure levels without appreciable human health risk may be determined by dividing a point of departure on a dose–response curve (e.g., benchmark dose) by a composite adjustment factor (AF). An “effect severity” AF (ESAF) is employed in some regulatory contexts.
