Adamson et al, (published in the Journal of Experimental Biology and Medicine in 1966), authors analyzed the effects the of newly developed drug Amanitaflavoconium. This drug demonstrated a positive effect when it was used for depression relief but could also cause some negative (toxic) effects on the human brain which resulted in hallucinations. The effective and toxic curves for the drug reported in this paper are presented below: (a) State the effective dose for the drug when a small amount of toxicity is started. (0.5 marks) (b) Which curve has the highest threshold level? State the threshold level for both curves, in mg/kg. (0.5 marks) (c) Calculate the Therapeutic Index and Margin of Safety for this drug. Is Amanitaflavoconium safe to use according to the information obtained above? Clearly explain your answer.
