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.

Ovalbumin-induced allergic airway inflammation is a mouse model in which systemic sensitization to ovalbumin, usually with aluminum hydroxide adjuvant, is followed by airway ovalbumin challenge to induce allergic airway inflammation, eosinophil recruitment, mucus production, serum antigen-specific IgE, Th2 cytokine responses, and airway hyperresponsiveness to methacholine. The model is used to study allergen-driven airway inflammation and asthma-like immune responses, but it does not reproduce every feature of human asthma. The main readouts are bronchoalveolar lavage fluid cellularity, lung histopathology, airway hyperresponsiveness, serum OVA-specific IgE, and cytokines such as IL-4, IL-5, and IL-13 in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid or lung samples. Eosinophilia and Th2 cytokines reflect allergic type 2 inflammation, while methacholine responsiveness provides a functional airway-reactivity endpoint.

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
