All studies are performed according to GLP

In vitro toxicology studies

       - mutagenesis (AMES assay) 
       - genotoxicity
       - hematotoxicity on human hematopoetic progenitors (CD34+)

In vivo toxicology studies

       - toxicity  evaluation  in rodents: different route of administration                                     (PO,IV,IP,SC,IM)
       - acute toxicity in rodent (lethal doses, macroscopic toxicity) - treatment of                rodent for 1 to 5 days
       - chronic toxicity in rodent (macroscopic tox., hepatotox., hematotox.) -        
         treatment of rodent for 3 weeks to 24  months

Ex vivo toxicology and metabolism 

       - activity of CYP450
       - hematology (numeration, coagulation, glycemia, insulinemia, enz. activity,...)

All that assays are performed according to the international regulatory

       - AMES regulatory assay - OECD 471 - 21^st July 1997
       - Sub chronic and chronic toxicity - OECD 408 - 21^sd September 1998
       - Acute toxicity - OECD 425 - 17^th December 2001
       - Tumorogenicity - European Pharmacopoeia - EP5.2.3
       - Detection of viral determinant - European Pharmacopoeia
