-
Animal Model:ICR mice, Sprague-Dawley rats and mature Wistar rats (4/5 weeks; 16-20 g/140-150 g)[2]
-
Dosage:60-400 mg/kg
-
Administration:i.p., p.o., s.c.
-
Result:Orally with viridicatumtoxin had no signs of toxicity. As the dosage increasing (i.p. and p.o.), hepatocytes started to have pathological changes and deaths occurred in both mice and rats. Mice and rats which given the viridicatumtoxin by s.c. had no signs of toxicity and none died, but coagulation necrosis was present at the injection site.

Acute Systemic Toxicity Study
Acute systemic toxicity studies evaluate adverse effects occurring after a single exposure, or repeated exposure within a short acute window, and the main in vivo readouts are mortality, moribund condition, clinical signs, body-weight change, and gross pathological findings; acute oral toxicity methods were developed to replace classical LD50 testing with reduced-animal designs such as fixed-dose procedure, acute toxic class method, and up-and-down procedure. The fixed-dose procedure classifies acute toxicity by administering predefined dose levels and observing evident toxicity rather than using death as the primary endpoint, whereas the acute toxic class method uses sequential groups of three animals per step and the up-and-down procedure doses animals sequentially to estimate an LD50 with fewer animals than conventional LD50 testing.
