Details on study design:
A 28-day repeated oral dose toxicity study of Nathtolone sodium salt followed by a 14-day recovery study was performed in groups of six male and six female Crj:CD(SD) rats at 5 weeks of age. The high dose was set at 1,000 mg/kg, and altogether 3 doses including 200 and 40 mg/kg were employed. Recovery groups were also set for the 1,000 mg/kg and vehicle control groups.

Executive summary:

A 28-day repeated oral dose toxicity study of Naphtolone sodium salt followed by a 14-day recovery study was performed in groups of six male and six female Crj:CD(SD) rats at 5 weeks of age. The high dose was set at 1,000 mg/kg, and altogether 3 doses including 200 and 40 mg/kg were employed. Recovery groups were also set for the 1,000 mg/kg and vehicle control groups.

No death occurred in all examinations.

No abnormality was noted in clinical signs, body weights and food intakes during dosing period, in hematological examinations, urinalyses, organ weights, necropsy and histopathological examinations at termination of dosing period.

Concerning the blood chemical examinations, there was a dose-relationship. Total bilirubin was increased in females of the 1,000 mg/kg group at termination of dosing period.

No abnormalities were noted in the recovery group.

Based on these results, the NOEL of Naphtolone sodium salt in rats under the present study conditions was estimated to be 200 mg/kg/day.
