[india-drug] Indian Regulatory Versions of Animal Models

["Orlando Roman" <oroman12000@yahoo.com>]

Hello:
 
I am located in NYC and am a student/advocate studying pharmaceuticals and drug development.  My particular area's interest are in animal models and how drug-drug, drug-herbal interactions are determined from compound development. Indian pharmaceutical regulatory agencies vary in comparision the US NIH/FDA and animal models are created on a case by case basis and there are some models with similarities (such as SCID mouse),  But I need specific references to animal models for testing of Liver Enzymes CYP3A4 and the preferred vaccine primate models.  
 
I'm writing a paper for school on drug development and regulatory practices and would like to fully understand what animal models can and can not explain about a drug's safety and efficacy from an international perspective.   Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
