The Past President’s Message

The 52nd anniversary SOT meeting in San Antonio drew attendees from across the globe.   Our specialty section reception was well attended by members including a number of students and post‐docs.

I am delighted to have served as President of our Specialty Section this past year and appreciate all the support of my fellow officers. I look forward to an exciting year with John Graham as our new President and Jens Mortensen as Vice President. We had an excellent slate of officers and are joined by Frank Barile as our new Vice‐President Elect and Adrienne Black as our new Councilor. Congratulations and welcome to both of you.  Many thanks to Councilor John Harbell for his service over the past two years; Mike Babin will continue as Senior Councilor and will coordinate awards. He is joined by our newly elected Councilor, Adrienne Black. We are fortunate to have Jill Harvilchuck continue as Secretary‐Treasurer. In addition, I want to thank our Post Doctoral Representative  Chep Yego and Student Representatives  Swetha Inturi and Anand Ravindran for Doctoral Representative, Chep Yego and Student Representatives, Swetha Inturi and Anand Ravindran for preparing the poster and brochure for the annual meeting; excellent work! Special thanks to Jeff Yourick, my predecessor, who served as Past‐President and Councilor this past year. 

I would also take this opportunity to acknowledge our award sponsors: Battelle for providing $5,000 for two student research awards, Stratacor for providing $500 for the graduate post‐doctoral abstract award, Sinclair for providing $500 for the student abstract award, and MB Research Laboratories for providing a Kindle Fire to the winner at the student reception.  We appreciate their past and continued support.  There were many excellent p pp p pp yproposals and nominations for awards this year; please submit those applications in January.

Finally, and most importantly, the DTSS would not exist without the continued support of our members.  Presentation of your original research at our sponsored sessions provides an opportunity to showcase your work.  I look forward to seeing all of you again in next year.

Photosafety Evaluation of Pharmaceuticals without Testing in Animals

Chairpersons:Lewis B. Kinter, AstraZeneca PharmaceuticalsAbby Jacobs, US Food and Drug Administration

Advances in understanding of photochemistry, photoreactivity, and phototoxicity of pharmaceuticals offer for the first time the opportunity to appropriately evaluate the potential for photosafety risk in humans while minimizing or eliminating phototoxicitytesting in animals.  Only compounds that absorb light in the visible and UV ranges pose photosafety risk.  Photoreactivity assays to detect generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and in vitro bioassays to detect phototoxicity (3T3‐NRU and 3D‐skin assays) offer (ROS) and in vitro bioassays to detect phototoxicity (3T3 NRU and 3D skin assays) offer high sensitivity (e.g. few false negatives) but lower selectivity (higher numbers of false positives) with which to predict phototoxicity potential in humans..  However, to support an integrated assessment strategy, it is most important these assays show high sensitivity, because negative assay results are usually conclusive and do not warrant further photosafety evaluation, and it is not essential that positive assay results always predict a clinically relevant phototoxic response   Further  the fact that these assays measure entirely clinically relevant phototoxic response.  Further, the fact that these assays measure entirely different endpoints lowers the probability of multiple ‘false positive’ findings.  Finally, compounds that both absorb in the relevant spectrum and test positive in chemical and/or in vitro assays can be evaluated for photosafety in clinical trials with proper precautions, without intermediate in vitro or animal testing if the sponsor chooses (ICH M3(R2) 2010).  The session will be of broad interest to academic, industry, regulatory, and consultant toxicologists concerned about current status of photosafety testing and/or advances in toxicologists concerned about current status of photosafety testing and/or advances in nonclinical safety assessment that reduce or replace animal testing (e.g. 3Rs).

Presentation Title:  Chemical Methods for Detection of Photoreactive Pharmaceuticals

P t ti  D i ti   Th  i iti l  id ti  f   t  f  h t ti t ti l Presentation Description:  The initial consideration for assessment of photoreactive potential is whether a compound absorbs wavelengths between 290 and 700 nm.  Absorption with a molar extinction coefficient (MEC) less than 1000 L mol‐1 cm‐1 is not considered to result in a photosafety concern.  Excitation of molecules by light can lead to generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), including superoxide and singlet oxygen via energy transfer mechanisms.   Although other mechanisms for phototoxicity are known (e.g., formation of h dd   i h d )    i   h    i     h  ROS   photoadducts or cytotoxic photoproducts), even in these cases, it appears that ROS are 

typically generated as well.  Thus, photoabsorption and ROS generation following irradiation with UV or visible light are critical indicators of phototoxic potential.  Validation of a ROS assay to detect photo‐induced ROS generation will be presented.

Presentation Title:  In Vitro Methods for Detection of Phototoxic Pharmaceuticals

Presentation Description:   The most widely used in vitro assay for phototoxicity is the “in vitro 3T3 Neutral Red Uptake Phototoxicity Test” (3T3 NRU‐PT) for which a guideline is available.  This is currently considered the most appropriate in vitro screen for soluble compounds that are not exclusively UVB absorbers.  Although the formal ECVAM validation exercise conducted on this assay indicated a sensitivity of 93% and a specificity of 84%, experience within the pharmaceutical industry suggests a much lower specificity.  The original OECD protocol was not validated for pharmaceuticals specifically.  Thus, some modifications to the original OECD protocol have been proposed to address the low specificity observed with drug substances.  The sensitivity of the 3T3 NRU‐PT remains unquestioned, and if a g y 3 3 qcompound is negative in this assay it would have a very low probability of being phototoxic in humans.  The presentation will focus on current in vitro methods for phototoxicity assessment including  standard assay conditions (per OECD guidelines) and proposed revised testing methods for assessment of pharmaceuticals.  In addition, the strengths and weaknesses of the available methods and their predictivity will be reviewed.

Presentation Title:  In Vitro 3‐Dimensional Skin Models for Testing Phototoxic Potential of Dermal Formulations o e a o u at o s

Presentation Description:   Reconstructed human skin models, with the presence of a stratum corneum, permit testing of various types of topically applied materials ranging from neat chemicals to final clinical formulations.  The models developed to date measure cell viability in the tissue preparation with and without irradiation.  While such models appear to be capable of detecting known human dermal phototoxicants  the models appear to be capable of detecting known human dermal phototoxicants, the sensitivity of some models with respect to the dose eliciting a positive response can be lower than in the in vivo human situation.  Consequently, it is important to understand the sensitivity of any model selected and, if appropriate, to adjust the assay conditions accordingly (e.g., testing higher strength formulations, increasing exposure time).The presentation will focus upon current 3‐D skin models for the assessment  of the phototoxicity potential of dermal formulations    The presentation will describe the phototoxicity potential of dermal formulations.   The presentation will describe the protocols and the strengths, weaknesses, and predictivity of the various models.

Presentation Description:    There are various options for collecting photosafety date in humans, if warranted, ranging from standard reporting of adverse events in clinical studies to a dedicated clinical photosafety study.  The precise strategy is determined on a case‐by‐case basis.  The presentation will focus upon systemically administered drugs and topically applied drug formulations for evaluation of photoirritation and h t ll ti  i  h  i  th     f UV    i ibl  li ht   d  id  photoallergy reactions in humans in the presence of UV or visible light, and provide 

details on strategy and clinical protocol options.
