Abstract

DETERMINATION OF LD100 AND LD50 OF CARMIOSINE INTRAPERITONEALLY AND ORALLY ADMINISTERED IN ALBINO RATS

ABSTRACT

The determination of LD100 and LD50 of carmiosine administered intraperitoneally and orally was carried out. A total of 68 albino rats weighing approximately 150g were used. In the determination of LD100 intraperitoneally, 10 rats were used with varying doses of 0.0g/kg, 0.17g/kg, 0.50g/kg, 1.0g/kg, 1.53g/kg, 2.0g/kg, 2.5g/kg, 3.33g/kg, 4.17g/kg, and 5.0g/kg while 10 rats were also used in the determination of LD100 orally with doses of 0.0g/kg, 5.0g/kg, 10.0g/kg, 12.5g/kg, 17.5g/kg, 22.5g/kg, 25.0g/kg, 32.5g/kg, 37.5g/kg and 40.0g/kg. In the acute study, rats were randomly separated into six groups. Each group had a total of four rats. The intraperitoneally treated groups were designated Aci, Bci, Cci, Dci, Eci and Fci with doses of 0.0g/kg, 0.17g/kg, 0.50g/kg, 1.0g/kg, 1.53g/kg, and 2.0g/kg respectively while that of oral were designated Aoc, Boc, Coc, Doc, Eoc and Foc were given doses of 0.0g/kg, 5.0g/kg, 10.0g/kg, 12.5g/kg, 17.5g/kg and 22.5g/kg respectively after LD100 dtermination. The LD50 of carmiosine given intraperitoneally and orally was calculated using the arithmetic method of karber. The LD100 was found to be 2.0g/kg and 22.5g/kg for intraperitoneally and orally treated rats respectively while the LD50 were 1.25g/kg and 13.37g/kg for intraperitoneal and orally route of administration. The LD50 obtained suggests that carmiosine is slightly toxic and practically non-toxic substance when administered intraperitonelly and orally respectively. The discrepancies seen in the intraperitoneal and orally treated rats could be due to the difference in the route of administration.
