Elementary Evaluation of the Safety of Chitosan DCX-16 / 中国药房

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the safety of Chitosan DCX-16elementarily.METHODS:DCX-16was injected i.p.to observe the acute toxicity in mice.The local irritating effects were observed on tolerance test,cerato-conjunctiva and muscles stimulus test in rabbits.The cell shape and proliferative rate of3T3cells were determinated by MTT in cell culture with DCX-16.RESULTS:It showed that DCX-16had no irritation on the eyes and muscles in rabbits.Tolerance dose of DCX-16in mice was as high as3.0g/kg per day.Cell culture with DCX-16demonstrated that3T3cell's shape and growth were normal.The relative growth rate of3T3cells had no statistical difference between control and DCX-16groups on the2nd,3rd,4th day.CONCLUSION:DCX-16is safe.
