Selective toxicity is the ability of a chemical or drug to kill a microorganism without harming its host.
Selective toxicity
Drugs that block the synthesis of folic acid target specific enzymes in bacteria that are essential for their survival by disrupting their ability to produce the necessary building blocks for DNA synthesis. Since human cells do not synthesize folic acid but instead rely on dietary intake, these drugs selectively target bacteria, leading to selective toxicity without harming human cells.
Chemical: Toxicity is about a harmful material interacting chemically with other substances in the body.
Selective permeable
Toxicity is a chemical property. You can not see the toxicity just by looking at it.
Selective toxicity
Penicillin exhibits the property of an effective and safe antimicrobial therapy that involves selective toxicity. This is because the chemical structure of Penicillin gives antibacterial properties.
Chemicals that can selectively interfere with the growth of microorganisms and yet not interfere significantly with the functions of the cells of the host are highly desirable for antimicrobial drugs.
Selective toxicity refers to the ability of a substance to target and harm specific organisms while having minimal impact on others, particularly vertebrate cells. This property is often exploited in medicine to develop drugs that are effective against bacteria, fungi, or parasites without causing harm to human cells.
