Other Environmental Influences on Individuals and Their Genomes. Finally, the environment provides numerous potential biochemical influences on the genome, such as exposure to viruses, toxins, or diseases (Fig. 4—4). These, too, could contribute to the probability that genetic vulnerabilities for a psychiatric illness will become manifest.

Toxicology studies are conducted to define the safety profile of a candidate and include definition of the no-toxic-effect dose, MTD, potential organs of toxicity, and potential biochemical markers to detect and track toxic events. Most developmental compounds that do not become therapeutic products have unacceptable toxicity in animals or humans. Before the definitive toxicology studies needed to support an IND submission are initiated, a number of animal experiments can be conducted to characterize the potential toxicity of the candidate. These early toxicology evaluations are usually conducted in the same species as used in pharmacology evaluations. As mentioned earlier, the lowest dose that has no toxicity or an acceptable level of toxicity is compared with the dose that gives the desired pharmacologic response in the same animal species to obtain a therapeutic ratio or index for that species.

As screening techniques become more sophisticated, the range of compounds that are potentially valuable as leads should increase. As, an example, the antijuvenile hormone action of the precocenes has been cited. Their spectrum of activity is limited, but the study of their action has revealed potential biochemical target sites.

Phosphosugars attracted interest for potential biochemical applications but have not met with expectations. Because of the lack of stability of the phosphane oxidation state (+ 3), the phosphane oxide is usually preferred in phosphosugar syntheses. The literature on phosphosugars until 1984 was reviewed by Yamamoto and Inokawa [228].
