In their isolated form, illudins show selective toxicity for myelocytic leukemia and other carcinoma cells.

The selective toxicity of benomyl as a fungicide is possibly due to its heightened effect on fungal rather than mammalian microtubules.

Moreover, some C-28 amino acids and C-3 phthalates derivatives exhibited higher cytotoxic activity against cancer cell lines with improved selective toxicity and water solubility.

This explains the selective toxicity to bacterial cells of these drugs.

The drug can have selective toxicity for poikilotherms due to their lower rate of metabolism in the liver.

This allows for the selective toxicity to bacterial cells (or any cell dependent on synthesizing folic acid) over human cells.

It acts by inducing pulmonary edema and has relatively selective toxicity for rats.

Acaricides are used both in medicine and agriculture, although the desired selective toxicity differs between the two fields.

Albert also authored many important books on chemistry, including one on selective toxicity.

The remainder must be tested for their selective toxicities and therapeutic activities, and the best candidates can be examined and possibly modified.
