ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the toxic reaction,toxic organs or target tissues of protamine recombinant human insulin (Insulin NPH),and provide basis for clinical trials by single dose toxicity test in mice,repeated toxicity and immunogenicity of Beagle's dogs,and systemic active allergy in guinea pig.Methods ① Using maximum dose method,mice in single dose toxicity test were sc injected with normal saline (NS),vehicle,and Insulin NPH (2092-2488 IU/kg),the toxic reactions after injection were monitored.② In repeated toxicity study,Beagle's dogs were sc administrated with vehicle,the original (Humulin NPH,1.5 IU/kg)and different doses of Insulin NPH (0.5,1.0 and 1.5 IU/kg) for 30 d continuously,followed by a 14-d recovery.During the administration and recovery period,general observation,local irritation,body weight,anus temperature,blood glucose,and electrocardiogram (ECG) were checked,moreover,hematology,serum biochemistry and urine were detected.Also,organic weights and histopathological examination were conducted.Binding antibodies in dog serum were measured by indirect ELISA method in immunogenicity test.③ In systemic active allergy study,cavies were sc injected with low-and high-dose (4 and 12 IU/kg) Insulin NPH,normal saline and vehicle.Besides,ova as positive control was also included.After five times of sensitization test with above doses,the excitation reactions of iv injection with tripled sensitizing doses were observed.Results No obvious toxicity was observed in mice after injected with 165 times of usual clinical dose of Insulin NPH.Repeated toxicity study of Beagle's dogs revealed that 1.0 IU/kg was the no-toxic-effect dose (NOAEL) for Insulin NPH,which was equivalent to 2 times of clinical dose.No bindingantibodies were found in immunogenicity test.There was no obvious allergic symptom in the active systemic allergy study of guinea pig.Conclusion Under the experimental conditions,no serious toxicity of Insulin NPH is found.

ABSTRACT

Aims To study single dose toxicity of poly-phenols effective parts from Punica granatum,to eval-uate their safety,and thus to provide a theoretical basis for drug development and clinical use.To observe their protective effect on ethanol-induced gastric ulcer in rats.Methods 50 healthy Kunming mice were ran-domly divided into five groups and given different doses of polyphenols’effective parts from Punica granatum via intragastric administration.Toxicity and death in each group of mice were observed and recorded after administration for 14 d.The median lethal dose was calculated by Bliss method.70 rats were randomly di-vided into normal group,model group(constant volume of normal saline),sanjiuweitai particles(1 850 mg· kg-1 )group,colloidal bismuth subcitrate (33 mg · kg-1 )group and polyphenols effective parts from Puni-ca granatum low-dose,medium-dose,high-dose(430, 852,1 704 mg·kg-1 )groups.On the 9th day of 10 days’gavage,all except the normal group were fed ethanol (1.5 mL/only)to induce gastric mucosal inju-ry in rats with acute gastric ulcer.Gastric ulcer index, the rate of ulcer inhibition were calculated for each group.The morphological changes of gastric mucosa were observed.The gastric mucosa levels of PGE2 , NO,SOD and MDA were determined.Results The LD50 and 95%confidence limit of the polyphenols’ef-fective parts from Punica granatum were 8 520.9 mg· kg-1 and 7 291.2 ~9 914.4 mg·kg-1,respectively. Pathology showed that the organs receiving dose of 16 000 mg · kg-1 had different degrees of damage . Compared with the model group,the extract from Puni-ca granatum significantly repaired the gastric mucosa, and significantly increased the gastric mucosa levels of NO and reduced MDA content,and improved SOD content and the levels of PGE2 .Conclousion The dose of 5 063 mg · kg-1 of polyphenols effective part from Punica granatum showed no death.The dose of 16 000 mg · kg-1 of polyphenols effective parts from Punica granatum could cause varying degrees of dam-age in heart,liver,lung,kidney or the death of mice. The LD50 and 95% confidence limit of the polyphenols effective parts from Punica granatum were 8 520.9 mg ·kg-1 and 7 291.2 ~9 914.4 mg·kg-1,respective-ly.The extract from Punica granatum plays a protective role against gastric mucosa damage induced by absolute ethanol,and the mechanism may be related to promo-ting ulcer epithelial cells synthesis,enhancing mucosal regeneration function,regulating NO content and en-hancing antioxidant capacity.

ABSTRACT

The fungal b-D-glucan is a biological response modifier (BRM), but a major obstacle to the clinical utilization of these BRMs is their relative insolubility in aqueous media. We made soluble sulfated-b-glucan (SGL) from insoluble b-glucan (IGL) by sulfation method. In single dose toxicity study of SGL for 7 days, no negative effects on body weight or food consumption of rats were evident below a dose rate of 2,000 mg kg-1 SGL. No clinical pathology, functional/behavioral, or gross observations indicating toxicity were detected. In hematology and biochemistry, statistically significant increases of WBC and neutrophils (P<0.01) in male and increase of MCV (P<0.05) in females was observed. However, since the changes were not dose–responsive, the effects were considered to be of no toxicological significance. These results suggest that chemically modified sulfated-b-D-glucan was less toxic than the insoluble b-glucan and not considered acutely toxic following peritoneal exposure to 2,000mg kg-1 day-1 in Sprague-Dawley rats.

ABSTRACT

In this study, aloe fermentation products were derived from mycelia from 3 mushrooms: Ganoderma lucidum (AG), Hericium erinaceum (AH), and Phellinus linteus (AP). Levels of aloin A and B increased with fermentation time. The highest levels were measured on the fifth day of fermentation. beta-Glucan levels decreased with fermentation time. The safety of aloe fermentation products were examined in male and female Sprague-Dawley rats. Rats were orally administered the three aloe fermentation products at dose levels of 1, 2 or 5 g/kg for single-dose toxicity test and 0.5, 1, or 2 g/kg for repeated-dose toxicity test. There were no significant differences in body weight gain between vehicle control and AG-, AH- or AP-treated rats. Also, significant changes in daily feed intake and water consumption were not observed. In hematological analysis, none of the parameters were affected by aloe fermentation products with mushroom mycelia. This suggests that there are no negative effects on homeostasis and immunity. In blood biochemistry analysis, none of the markers were affected by feeding rats with AG, AH or AP. Similarly, there were no significant effects on markers for liver, kidney, skeletal and heart muscle functions. No remarkable lesions were observed in these organs at histopathology. Since there were no adverse effects of AG, AH and AP in single- or repeated-dose toxicity tests, even at higher doses than normal, we conclude that the aloe fermentation products with mushroom mycelia possess long-term safety and could be candidates as multifunctional nutrients for the improvement of intestinal function and immunity.
