Route-of-administration selection in mammals is a pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic, formulation, animal-welfare, and translational decision, not a default technical choice. The selected route should match the study goal: intravenous dosing is most useful when complete systemic exposure and rapid onset are required, oral dosing is most translational for orally intended medicines but is affected by absorption and first-pass metabolism, subcutaneous or intramuscular dosing can provide slower systemic exposure, and intraperitoneal dosing can be useful in rodent proof-of-concept studies but may have limited clinical translation. Published route-comparison studies show that the same compound can produce different exposure, onset, bioavailability, tissue distribution, and tolerability depending on route; therefore, route choice should be supported by pilot pharmacokinetic or pharmacodynamic evidence when the literature is insufficient. Unresolved questions include how to standardize route sel

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.
