Toxication
From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.
Toxication is the process of drug metabolism in which the metabolite of a compound is more toxic than the parent drug or chemical. While this process is generally undesirable, in certain cases toxication or metabolic activation is required for the in vivo conversion of a drug or chemical to a metabolite with desired pharmacological or toxicological activity.
