less than 5 minutesOne of the most influential scientific papers of 2022
In November last year, we published a ground-breaking article to Chemical Research in Toxicology titled ‘What Makes a Potent Nitrosamine? Statistical Validation of Expert-Derived Structure–Activity Relationships’.
Within the paper, we show that certain structural features, when treated independently, have a statistically significant impact on the carcinogenic potency of nitrosamines. It is with great excitement that we share this publication making it to Chemical Research in Toxicology’s top 20 most downloaded articles, as well as being the most viewed article within their November edition.

less than 5 minutesSupporting N-nitrosamine risk assessments for drug products
N-Nitrosamine risk assessment and control have become an integral part of pharmaceutical drug product development. In this article, we discuss 3 key stages of risk assessment: identifying the source of risk, determining the level of activity and mitigating the risk. Discover how our in silico tools can be used to support informed decision making on chemical safety, in this blog article.

less than 5 minutesReplace, Reduce, Refine - How Lhasa Limited are supporting the 3Rs
Last year, a revolutionary guideline on Defined Approaches for Skin Sensitisation (OECD GL No.497) was released by the OECD. It is the first ever guideline that recommends the use of a combination of non-animal methods to predict whether a chemical can cause skin allergies. Since the publication of this guideline, Lhasa Limited have developed ‘Skin Sensitisation Defined Approach ITSv1 1.0’ – a web application containing one of the defined approaches published by the OECD, which provides hazard and potency skin sensitisation predictions without the use of animal tests. This tool is a step towards full replacement of animal testing for skin sensitisation and employs the 3Rs principle.
