CYTPOWER: IMPLEMENTATION OF CYTOTOXIC POWER CONCEPT IN PYTHON
Main Article Content
Abstract
Currently existing methods and parameters are inadequate for representative and quanititative assessment of cytotoxic activity of chemical compounds. Recently, we have introduced a concept of cytotoxic power which provides an effective way to a reasonable estimation and comparative analysis of cytotoxic activity of chemical agents. The basis of this concept is an integrative parameter that relies on important toxicological principles: dose of compound related to a cell number and exposure-time-response relationship of its activity.
Herein, we propose an implementation of our concept of cytotoxic power as a package developed in Python programming language. The package is free and available on GitHub repository.
