Résumé
Objective:To study the acute toxicity and genotoxicity of Sanqi liver-protecting capsules to evaluate the toxicological safety. Methods:The mouse acute oral toxicity test, Ames test, micronucleus test of mouse bone marrow and mouse sperm shape ab-normality test were carried out for Sanqi liver-protecting capsules. Results:The mouse acute oral maximum tolerance dose ( MTD) of Sanqi liver-protecting capsules was above 20 g·kg-1 in the mouse acute oral toxicity test, which showed a non-toxic substance. The results of Ames test, micronucleus test of mouse bone marrow and mouse sperm shape abnormality test were negative in all the groups. Conclusion:Under the above experimental conditions,the genotoxicity of Sanqi liver-protecting capsules is not found out, therefore, the capsules are classified as a non-toxic drug.
