Due to low efficacy of methods of testing toxicity of potential drugs on preclinical stages only few drugs which were under development in laboratories go on the market. We suggested a new method of investigating drug metabolism on cul- tured rat and human hepatocytes with further calculating the «dose–effect» difference. These findings can be extrapo- lated to humans with the help of multiple-level computer models of drug metabolism in human’s body. This method will help to improve efficacy of preclinical studies of pharmacokinetics, interactions and toxicity of new potential medicines.
