Four, long term toxicity test
The continuous gavage of rat gives 50,150 and the picrorhiza rhizome total glycoside extract of 450mg/kg 6 months, within administration phase and convalescent period, observe animal general reaction, feed situation, measure the body weight of animal, administration 3 months, 6 months and 1 month convalescent period are detected the indexs such as hematological indices, blood parameters, system postmortem, organ coefficient and histopathology while finishing.Found that, high dose group, during administration, slow, the total bilirubin of body weight gain male and jenny slightly raises; In addition, the reticulocyte of high dose group jenny is slight rising and slight increase tendency appears in kidney organ coefficient, and except above-mentioned abnormal index, all the other every detection indexs are not all found the obvious change relevant to medicine.Middle dosage group, during administration, except the body weight gain of buck is slow, and the total bilirubin of jenny has outside slight rising, and all the other detect indexs and are showed no the significant change relevant to medicine.Low dose group, the every detection index of animal during administration is not all found the toxic reaction relevant to medicine.Drug withdrawal recovered after 1 month, and above-mentioned have the detection index of ANOMALOUS VARIATIONS all to recover normal.The main organs of histopathological examination has no organic disease and the delayed toxicity reaction relevant to medicine.Therefore, can think that rat oral gavage gives picrorhiza rhizome total glycoside extract 50mg/kg (being equivalent to clinical plan with 30 times of dosage), be basic security dosage.
Beasle dog continuous oral picrorhiza rhizome total glycoside extract 320mg/kg, 80mg/kg, 20mg/kg dosage, establish matched group, successive administration 180 days.After medicine, observe spirit, behavior, diet, the feces of animal every day, regularly carry out body weight, feces occult blood, urine biochemistry, electrocardiogram, hematology, blood biochemical, bone marrow, ophthalmology, pathological tissue etc. and check.Found that 320mg/kg, 80mg/kg dosage treated animal, at the initial slight gastrointestinal reaction (vomiting, loose stool) that occurs of administration, after administration, ERY inspection all has Some Animals to present the positive, but with administration process, does not increase the weight of; Histopathologic examination's mucous membrane of urinary bladder, gastrointestinal mucosa is slight congestion; 320mg/kg dosage treated animal glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase, GOT slightly raises; These variations can disappear after drug withdrawal.The spirit of 20mg/kg dosage treated animal, activity, diet, feces, body weight, anus temperature, hematology, blood biochemical, urine biochemistry, electrocardiogram all have no significant effect; This dosage is not for observing the dosage (calculate and be equivalent to intend 13 times of clinical dosage with every kg body weight, convert and be equivalent to intend 8.3 times of clinical dosage, 90mg/ people/sky, 60kg/ people with body surface area) of toxic reaction.
