Nucleic acid drug delivery with lipid nanoparticle (LNP) formulations has enabled the development of novel therapeutics and vaccines. LNP formulations are composed of both naturally occurring and synthetic lipid excipients. This perspective shares current practices in the nonclinical safety assessment of novel lipid excipients contained in LNP formulations and identifies gaps in current regulatory guidance on this topic. There is no globally harmonized regulatory guidance for the nonclinical safety assessment of novel excipients or guidance specific to safety testing of novel excipients in LNPs. Given the complexity of these LNP formulations, most nonclinical safety studies to support development are conducted with the drug product or with a LNP that contains non-active cargo. Three case studies (Onpattro®, Comirnaty®, and SpikeVax®) highlight that specific assessments may differ depending on the encapsulated modality, the intended use (e.g., therapeutic versus preventative vaccine), dose, and frequency of dosing. These case studies also suggest that regulatory agencies are open to scientific rationale to justify why certain tests should or should not be performed. As more products are approved, it will be important to understand how precedents set for approved products can be leveraged and what additional unique strategies may be applied to ensure nonclinical safety assessments are predictive, relevant, and meaningful for human safety. Proactive alignment with regulatory authorities will be critical in this context, especially as new approaches are proposed. Guidance documents may need to be revised or created as more experience is acquired to reflect the unique considerations for these novel excipients.

Have you ever reflected on your career or other experiences and thought, if I knew 10 or 20 years ago, what I know now, it would have enabled me to do this or that better—or I would have had a different attitude or perhaps even taken a different path' This article presents the proceedings from the symposium entitled “I Wish I Had Known That! Impactful Guidance and Perspectives for a Fulfilling Career in Toxicology” held at the 2023 annual meeting of the American College of Toxicology. In this session, toxicology professionals reflected on the highlights of their careers, the most impactful advice/mentoring they received or wish they had received, and the characteristics that have been key components of their success. This session consisted of didactic talks from a diverse panel representing various career stages and backgrounds, followed by a panel discussion and the opportunity for the audience to ask questions. Using a structured approach, speakers actively engaged the audience, providing insights gained through their professional journeys. This article offers experiential-based insights to help guide individuals in achieving successful and fulfilling careers in toxicology, considering both professional aspirations and the integration of personal values with life goals.

Pizzurro, Jacquelynn Lucas, Zhechu Peng; Inc, Boston, MA, USA3ModeX Therapeutics, Weston, MA, USA46893Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals, Inc, Ridgefield, CT, USA Abstract: International Journal of Toxicology, Ahead of Print. Fueled by the identification and invention of novel gene delivery vectors, gene therapy efforts now hold promise for treating a wide range of diseases and are seen as a crucial part of growth for the biopharmaceutical industry. Currently, recombinant adeno-associated virus vectors (rAAVs) and lentiviral vectors (LVs) are the main vectors used in gene therapies that are approved or tested in human clinical trials. Meanwhile, ongoing research continuously reveals unprecedented knowledge of viral vectors on the host genome, which may subsequently affect the mutagenic and carcinogenic potential of these therapies. This article summarizes the content and addresses the commentary from the scientific symposium entitled “Mutagenesis and Carcinogenesis Risk Evaluation for AAV and Lentiviral Gene Therapies,” conducted at the 43rd Annual Meeting of the American College of Toxicology, November 2022 in Denver, CO. The objective is to summarize the current understanding of rAAV and LV related mutagenicity/carcinogenicity risk, describe the methods and interpretation of results to guide risk assessments, as well as the current regulatory landscape on the carcinogenicity and mutagenicity assessment of rAAV and LV gene therapy products.

Sulfur mustard (SM) is a highly toxic bifunctional alkylating agent that inflicts severe damage on the respiratory tract. Although numerous studies have examined the mechanisms underlying SM-induced pulmonary injury, the exact pathways involved remain unclear. This study aims to investigate an acute pulmonary injury model, with SM administered as a single intraperitoneal injection (8 mg/kg) or single intratracheal instillation (2 mg/kg) at equal toxicity doses (1LD50). The results revealed that epithelial cells in the alveolar septa of the intraperitoneal SM group exhibited a significantly higher expression of apoptotic markers, including pro-apoptotic protein Bax, caspase-3, and caspase-9 proteins, than those in the tracheal SM group. Conversely, the expression of the anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2 was significantly lower in the intraperitoneal SM group than in the tracheal SM group, as confirmed by TUNEL staining and immunohistochemical staining. The intraperitoneal SM group exhibited markedly higher expression of fibrosis-related proteins, including MMP-2, MMP-9, TIMP-1, TIMP-2, collagen type I, collagen type III, TGF-β1, and Smad7, than the tracheal SM group. These markers, detected through immunohistochemical immunolabeling, indicate a more significant fibrotic response in the intraperitoneal group. In summary, this study demonstrates that intraperitoneal exposure to SM results in increased apoptosis, elevated expression of pro-apoptotic proteins, and fibrosis-related proteins in the alveolar epithelial cells compared with intratracheal exposure, even at equivalent toxicity levels. Our findings highlight the suitability of the intraperitoneal route for further investigation and identify apoptotic and fibrosis-related proteins as potential targets for intervention in SM-induced pulmonary injury.

Etomidate, an ultrashort-acting non-barbiturate sedative derived from imidazole, exerts potent inhibitory effects on the central nervous system. It is commonly employed for the induction of intravenous general anaesthesia or assisted anaesthesia. Recently, etomidate has emerged as an alternative to narcotics and novel psychoactive substances, leading to an increasing trend of abuse. Chronic overdose of etomidate can result in irreversible brain damage and various mental disorders. Severe cases may manifest as mental disturbances, behavioural disorders, self-mutilation and even death. The toxicological mechanisms of etomidate remain poorly understood. Additionally, there is limited information on the clinical symptoms and histopathological changes associated with etomidate poisoning and standardized detection methods for etomidate in blood, urine and hair are lacking. Consequently, further research on toxicological pathology and the development of reliable testing methods is crucial. This study reviews the metabolism, distribution, adverse reactions, poisoning manifestations, toxicology mechanisms and testing methods of etomidate.
