Drug Discovery and Evaluation has safety aspects that were addressed by pharmacological testing of the selected compound in high doses in tests directed at indications other than the intended indication of the new compound.
These tests were followed by pharmacokinetic studies, which were mainly aimed at confirming of a suitable half-life time and at oral activity.
