Cytotoxicity assays are usually based on the assessment of cell membrane damage, which can also be indirectly detected by measuring cell viability. Detection methods include MTT assay, CKK-8 assay, LDH assay and ATP assay, etc.

Pharmacokinetic studies quantify how an organism handles a drug over time through absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion, and the core experimental readout is the concentration-time profile of parent drug and, when relevant, metabolites in biological matrices such as plasma, whole blood, urine, bile, or tissue. Pharmacokinetic analysis links dose, route, exposure, clearance, half-life, distribution, bioavailability, and systemic exposure to drug efficacy and toxicity hypotheses rather than measuring a signaling pathway directly. The literature links pharmacokinetics to drug-development phenotypes by showing that drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics influence compound progression, exposure-response interpretation, safety margins, dosing strategy, and failure risk during discovery and development. DMPK science contributes to compound optimization by integrating physicochemical properties, in vitro metabolism, transporter behavior, in vivo exposure, and pharmacodynamic contex

The Notch pathway is a contact-dependent signaling pathway that controls cell-fate decisions, differentiation, proliferation, and tissue patterning through interactions between membrane-bound Notch receptors and membrane-bound ligands on neighboring cells. Canonical Notch signaling is activated when ligand engagement triggers proteolytic release of the Notch intracellular domain, which enters the nucleus and regulates transcription together with DNA-binding transcriptional complexes. In the canonical mechanism, ligand-dependent Notch activation leads to release of the intracellular Notch domain, and presenilin-dependent γ-secretase activity is required for production of the active intracellular signaling fragment. The released intracellular domain functions as a nuclear signal that converts Notch receptor activation at the membrane into transcriptional regulation of target programs such as HES/HEY-family genes and other context-dependent downstream targets. The literature links Notch p
