do you think how much

of animals

dies in

experiments with

testing new

medicines for one year

for example vangi

raise your hands those who

I think that this figure

is 40,000

there are no next 400

thousand well, and read who

then the figure

is 4 million

right on

statistics

royal

protection society

animals annually in

England is dying

testing new

medicines 4 million

animals and

imagine it

only on official

data

only for one year and

in only one

little england and

Imagine

such figures are achieved

these values ​​throughout

the world over the years

tests for what

generally need animals

when developing new

drugs and where

such

huge quantities

My name is Sergey

evteev I’m a student

faculty

a fundamental

of mu and

doing

development of medicines

and today, together with

we’ll figure it out

this topic

the first question is

worth highlighting is that

but how much at all

time is spent on

developing a new

drugs on the very

about ten

years and what is spent

all this time order

one year is spent on

Search

active compounds

Imagine that we

analyzed

great amount

literature conducted

a number of chemical

experiments and

found that ten

thousands of connections

have the

biological

activity that

we need but we

Do not know whether these

less effective

will they

are safe and not alone

a man of sound mind

will not dare to experience

all these

connection therefore

further held

preclinical

studies on

animals they occupy

about three years and here

we select those

connections that

showed

effectiveness and

security

another question

thing is

human organism

animal organism

has a number

certain differences

and so on

it is necessary to

clinical

research ie

human trial

they occupy about

five years but in the end we

select somewhere 5

compounds that

will already arrive at

consideration

regulatory

bodies there will check

how much

benign

all

past stage and one

the drug will fall on

pharmacy counter from

ten thousand original

molecule appears

question and

all these

stage can

abandon

any one of them and

the answer lies in

history if we

back to the middle

of the last century

see what’s on the market

the drug came out

thalidomide he

was positioned as

remedy for treatment

insomnia in

pregnant women and

manufacturers

stated and

guaranteed

quality and

security

product but how

result to light

there were 10 thousand

children with congenital

anomalies with

defects in the hands of the feet and

found that communication

was precisely with

with thalidomide

It was banned launched

serving a and included in

list of dangerous

connections and a monument

victims of this tragedy

but we have to

in london but now we

with you we understand that

each result

clinical

studies he

is extremely important as

clinically there that

there is in this case

made silent

about one of the side

effects

detected in step

preclinical

research and what

on this pedagogical

research we

we study firstly

we understand that

medicine

really treat

secondly, we can

find out what she is

does it safely

that is, the drug is not

is toxic and

we can choose a dose

which will be

most optimal

for the treatment of

another disease but

Do not you think that

this approach

use of other

organisms it

somewhat outdated

such a bad habit

which entered in

routine

pharmaceutical

practice and whether there is

our century development

technologies of some kind

other approaches

which would allow

abandon these

methods in fact

the scientist asks himself

these issues and

there is so

called the principle and

3r they are based on three

whales

the first of which is

saw for or

decrease it

implies that we

should include in

experiment

least

number of animals

which are necessary

for getting

reliable

result

imagine

we have a new

medicine

we try it

if we try

treat them this

model animals

there and after seeing something

do not recover

or continue

be sick and imagine

imagine that you

experiment we

included two

of animals

one recovered

another is not to him

can say heals

our preparation or not

but if we take

sampling for example

blue animals and

we will see that six of

they recovered

one only is not present that we

we can say yes our

the drug is likely

treat the following

The principle is rafael and

improve it

implies that we

should contain in

laboratory

animals

comfortable conditions and

minimally

subject them to stress

maximally

to alleviate that pain

which they thus

experience

but my favorite

principle this principle

replace or replace in

in this case he

implies that we

should use

some

alternative

methods that do not

involve in

animal experiment

and such techniques for

in fact there is

one of them is

testing new

preparations per cell

or on tissues in our

century development

biotechnology

process of obtaining

new cloth to few

more difficult than

gardening

what do we need for this

you need to take something

that we will

grow their own

kind seeds yes we

take the cells further

We need something where we’ll be

grow their own

kind of ground yes yes this

used cups

petrie special 3d

matrix and and we need

some nutritious

substances for top dressing and

here its role

carry out

nutrient media and

growth factors

which provide

growth and development of our

cell cultures in

transplantation

this method on data

and using for

development of

artificial leather

but we can

use it for

to check

effectiveness and

toxicity

preparations for

certain types of

cells but here

there is a

The problem is that our

the body consists of

a huge number

cells and tissues is

very complex system

let’s look at

Amsterdam which

he is a huge match

number of channels

rivulets

roughly like ours

the whole body

permeated with the blood

system

that is,

which flows blood and

it would seem

the system

simulate

it is impossible but for us

help comes

computer methods

we can imagine

imagine a vessel like a pipe

on which flows

blood and blood will be

provide some

wall pressure

blood vessels is the pressure

will depend on

how often

beats our heart and with

what strength

how narrow the blood vessels are

and various

chemical substances

will change this

pressure in a large

or a smaller side and

computer- based approaches

allows for this

moment to predict

that administration for at

a certain dose

norepinephrine will be

increase pressure a

visions of the Sakhalin

lower it is

one can imagine

by example

garden hose from

which water will come

the forum is flowing with water

as soon as we strengthen

this pressure and

narrow down so to speak

this vessel is the head

water becomes stronger and

this example he

the only one far in

use of

computer

technologies have everything

the so-called approach

ratio

structure of activity

each chemical

the substance possesses

some structure

which determines

its properties

biological

effects and similar

substance in its

structure will be

resemble

properties such

using

this principle scientists

created computer

connectivity libraries

her and comparing

structure of the new

substances with

known

biological

activity

a computer

predicts which

effects will be

our new

A molecule and will not

she is

about the danger

imagine on

cubes of lego if u

We have some kind of

new detail

which before we do not

saw that we can

compare to what

details in our

set new item

it seems yes and we can

predict

representative to

we get settled and

what function does it

but can perform

the problem is

in that all these

approaches they are satisfied

new and

only gaining its

force is only gaining

turnovers only

develop and therefore

currently not

It allows us to

completely refuse

from

preclinical

research on

animals and only

only

We also need to accompany

somehow support

but I certainly think

that the rejection of

you use animals

similar purposes is

a sign of healthy

society and I believe that

sometime we will learn

develop

drugs in 1 click

but animals that

rescued laboratory

experiments will disappear in

and we will be

remind only

similar monuments

how is Novosibirsk?

thank you for attention

[applause]
