On a NFPA diagram, this property of a material is assigned a number in between one and four onthe blue component.
On a NFPA diagram, this property of a material is assigned a number in between one and four onthe blue component. Along with metabolism, this property of an NCE is studied before phase 1 ofdevelopment. For most compounds, an absolute form of this property is given by either the LD50 orLC50, the latter of which has the same units as concentration. The therapeutic index is the ratio ofthis quantity for a compound to its (*) benefits. The acute form of this property is measured relative toskin or oral exposure. For a compound, this property can be given in terms of teratogenicity andmutagenicity, the former of which is a measure how likely it is to cause a birth defect. For 10 points, namethis measure of how poisonous a particular substance is.
