RESUMO

Metaflumizone is a new insecticide developed for crop protection and urban pest control by BASF. Its mammalian toxicological profile was assessed by conducting multiple toxicity studies in the rat, mouse, and dog, covering all relevant endpoints. Metaflumizone is characterized by very low acute toxicity, is not irritating to the eye or the skin and does not possess a potential to induce skin sensitization. The substance also shows relatively low toxicity following subchronic oral or dermal exposure to mammals. In addition, metaflumizone demonstrates low toxicological potential following chronic oral exposure to rats, mice, and dogs. Overall, the lowest no observed adverse effect level (NOAEL) is 12mg/(kgday) from the 1-year chronic dog study. In a battery of in vitro and in vivo mutagenicity assays, the weight-of-the-evidence indicates a lack of potential genotoxicity for metaflumizone. Furthermore, the compound demonstrated a lack of potential oncogenicity in long-term toxicity studies in rats and mice. Results from the rat multi-generation reproductive toxicity study as well as the rat and rabbit developmental toxicity studies indicate that metaflumizone is not selectively toxic to the offspring or fetus, as compared to the parents. Also, metaflumizone is not teratogenic in the rat or rabbit. Lastly, no neurotoxicity could be detected in acute and subchronic neurotoxicity studies in rats.

RESUMO

Guinea pigs were sensitized by intraperitoneal injection of ovalbumin, 10 micrograms mixed with 100 mg A1(OH)3 in saline. On days 15-30 sensitized guinea pigs were challenged with ovalbumin aerosol (0.5 mg/ml, 30 s, 15 psi) which produced immediate asthmatic responses characterized by dyspnea, convulsions, and some deaths during the first 14 min. Twenty to 24 h later the animals were sacrificed with an overdose of pentobarbital, and lungs, bronchi, and lower trachea were dissected and fixed in 10% neutral buffered formalin. Histopathological examination of randomly coded tissues of the respiratory tract revealed a pulmonary eosinophilic cellular infiltrate in the epithelium/subepithelium of trachea, bronchi, and bronchioles as well as the peribronchial, peribronchiolar, and perivascular areas of the lungs. Oral administration of mepyramine (10 mg/kg) 2 h before aeroallergen challenge provided complete protection against immediate asthmatic responses and prevented deaths during the first 14 min without influencing the late phase associated lung eosinophilic cellular infiltrate. The immediate asthmatic responses were not influenced by methylprednisolone (30 mg/kg) administered orally 24 and 2 h before aeroallergen challenge. Following an additional dose of methylprednisolone 4 h after challenge, there was a significant inhibition of pulmonary eosinophilia (30 mg/kg; -24 h, -2 h, and +4 h). These observations suggest that histamine is the principal mediator of immediate asthma attacks in guinea pigs. Methylprednisolone may be acting by inhibiting the production of eosinophil chemotactic factor of anaphylaxis (platelet-activating factor or leukotriene B4) from the alveolar macrophages, T lymphocytes, and perhaps other cells, thus preventing pulmonary eosinophilia.

RESUMO

The effect of Welch's Special Grape Color Powder Type BW-AT on reproductive performance was studied through two generations of Sprague-Dawley rats and a subchronic study was carried out on the F1 animals. The grape colour powder at dietary levels of 7.5 and 15.0% (w/w) had no adverse effects on reproductive performance. Body weights for F0 and F1 generation pups at both dose levels were significantly lower (P less than 0.05) than those of control pups at 21 days after birth. During the 13-wk subchronic feeding study of F1 rats, the body-weight gain of female rats in the high-dose group was reduced compared with the controls (P less than 0.05). Food conversion data was comparable among groups, thus the decrease in body-weight gain during this phase was most likely the result of the lower calorific value (w/w) of the feed supplemented with the grape colour powder compared with the control feed. No toxic effects or pathological changes were noted in rats fed grape colour powder.

RESUMO

Carnauba wax fed at levels of 0.1, 0.3 and 1% in the diet to beagle dogs for 28 wk did not produce evidence of toxicity or pathological effects. Body weight gain, food consumption, clinical chemical, haematological, and urine analysis data, and organ weights of animals fed carnauba wax were comparable with those of control animals. Ophthalmic, gross and histopathological examinations revealed no significant treatment-related findings.

RESUMO

The toxicity of zearalenone was studied in two generations of Wistar rats over approximately 10 months. Zearalenone was administered in the diet; the dose levels used were 0, 0.1, 1.0 and 10.0 mg per kg body weight per day in all generations. Animals in the F0 generation were bred twice to produce F1A and F1B generations. The F1A generation was bred to produce the F2A generation. The only lesion found at necropsy that could be attributed to zearalenone administration was increased medullary trabeculation of the femur in animals given the high dose. A dose-related increase in absolute and relative thyroid, pituitary and adrenal gland weights occurred in male and female rats of both the F1 and F1A generation. The alteration in the weights of these endocrine organs is probably a result of the estrogenic activity of zearalenone. Feeding of zearalenone caused decreases in fertility, number of viable offspring per litter and numbers of corpora lutea, implantations and resorptions per dam. Statistically significant differences were noted in the incidences of a number of skeletal and soft tissue abnormalities in both the F1B and F2A1 fetuses, especially at doses of 1.0 and 10.0 mg kg-1. These lesions most likely indicate a delay in fetal development. Unequivocal teratogenic effects could not be defined.

RESUMO

The effect of ginseng extract G115 on reproductive performance was studied in two generations of Sprague-Dawley rats. Animals of both sexes were fed wither control diet or diet supplemented with ginseng extract G115 at dose levels of 1 . 5, 5 or 15 mg/kg body weight/day. Parameters of reproduction and lactation in the treated groups were comparable to those of the controls for two generations of dams and pups. For F1 males and females, no treatment-related effects were seen in weekly body weights and food consumption, haematological and clinical chemical data, and ophthalmic, gross and histopathological examinations. The gross autopsies of F1 and F2 animals also revealed no significant treatment-related findings.

RESUMO

Patulin is a mycotoxin produced by a variety of Penicillium and Aspergillus species which are likely natural contaminants of various foods. The present study was conducted to determine the effects of lifetime administration of patulin in FDRL Wistar rats. Animals received patulin by gastric intubation three times per week at the level of 0.0, 0.1, 0.5 and 1.5 mg per kg body weight. The animals used in this lifetime study were derived from F0 parents exposed to equivalent levels of patulin for 4 weeks before mating, and throughout mating, gestation and lactation. Patulin treatment at 0.5 and 1.5 mg kg-1 to male rats caused a significant decrease in body weight gain in comparison to controls. Body weights of treated female rats were similar to that of control rats. No consistent significant differences among groups were noted in the hematology, clinical chemistry or urine analysis parameters measured during or at the termination of the study. Patulin administered to male and female rats at 1.5 mg kg-1 caused a significantly increased mortality rate as compared to respective control animals. The cause of death appeared to be increased pulmonary and laryngotracheal inflammation. No tumorigenic effect of patulin was observed.

RESUMO

Cytologic criteria, based upon features of differentiation at the cellular level, have been established previously for human and hamster respiratory tract tumors. In order to validate these histogenetic revised criteria and to study their reproducibility, imprint smears of human and hamster tumors, hamster tracheal washing specimens and preoperative human specimens of sputa, bronchial washings and bronchial brushings were coded randomly, followed by blind cytologic study of the tumor cells. The hamster tumors were induced by intratracheal instillation of benzo(a)pyrene-ferric oxide or sequential administration of benzo(a)pyrene-ferric oxide and N-methyl-N-nitrosourea. Greater accuracy and reliability were obtained for the histogenetic cytodiagnosis versus the histogenetic histologic evaluation than were achieved for the conventional cytodiagnosis versus the World Health Organization histologic evaluation of 1967. The histogenetic classification utilizes diagnostic criteria that may be universally applicable by pathologists and cytopathologists. Many poorly to well-differentiated epidermoid carcinomas, poorly to well-differentiated adenocarcinomas, large-cell carcinomas and giant-cell carcinomas, diagnosed as such by conventional cytologic criteria, possessed histogenetic criteria of combined epidermoid and adenocarcinomas. The new data clarify conventional cytodiagnoses of poorly differentiated epidermoid carcinomas and poorly differentiated adenocarcinomas and eliminate vague categories, such as large-cell undifferentiated, giant-cell and small-cell anaplastic carcinomas.

RESUMO

The effect of 1,3-butanediol on reproductive performance as well as its teratogenic, dominant lethal and cytogenetic effects were studied in five generations of Wistar rats. Animals of both sexes were fed either control diet or diet supplemented with 1,3-butanediol at dose levels of 5, 10 or 24% of the diet by weight. Reproduction and lactation parameters were comparative to controls for four of five generations of dams and pups. In contrast, the pregnancy rate of F1A rats decreased during five successive mating cycles; no pups were obtained in the high-dose level group of the fifth series of litters (F2E generation). Excluding this group, the viability of F2 generation pups revealed no significant differences between litters or between control and test groups. No definitive dose-related teratological findings were found in either soft or skeletal tissue examinations of F3B generation rats. However, incomplete ossification of sternebrae occurred frequently in mid- and high-dose fetuses, whereas missing sternebrae were noted especially in high-level fetuses. Both skeletal tissue findings suggest slight delayed fetal growth. For the dominant lethal assay of the F1B generation, the mutagenic index (percentage resorptions per implant sites) revealed no dose-related trend. In the three-generation cytogenetic study, no 1,3-butanediol related chromosomal aberrations were noted.
