Preliminary data: comparison of HCA methods with biochemical assays for toxicity Nocodazole and K-252a: Toxicity detected by HCA assay (neurite outgrowth parameter) Toxicity effect NOT detected with MTT or LDH assay

Summary Cell-based assays for hepatotoxicity and neurotoxicity • Assays for hepatotoxicity using HCA have been adopted for HepG2 cells. Early indications are that the assays can be used as a “filter” to detect toxic effects earlier in drug discovery process • Assays for neurotoxicity using HCA appear to show better sensitivity than traditional biochemistry assays for cytotoxicity. More data required to understand various mechanisms of action and also develop predictive indices HCA assays for toxicology may identify potential toxicity before expensive preclinical animal testing. These assays will also enable prioritization of lead compounds during screening.
