Test animals

Species:
rat
Strain:
Wistar
Sex:
male/female
Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
Age : 7 to 9 weeks
Sex : Female, nulliparous and non pregnant. It has been observed that females are generally more sensitive than males to toxic effects
Body weight range : 200±20g
Identification : By cage tag and corresponding colour body marking
Acclimatization : One week in experimental room after veterinary examination.
Randomization : After acclimation and veterinary examination randomly selected in groups of three females.
Nutritional conditions : Fasted overnight prior to treatment. Food was offered three hours after dosing.

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
oral: drinking water
Vehicle:
water
Remarks:
distilled water
Details on oral exposure:
The toxicity of the 3-acetamido-5-amino-4-hydroxybenzenesulphonic acid following oral administration was assessed. The test drug was given orally via oral cannula at the dose level 2000 mg/kg b.wt in Group-II & Group III respectively. Whereas, distilled water was given in same manner as test group(Group I). The rats were observed for incidence of mortality and signs of intoxication for 14 days after the administration of test article. The body weight of all the animals was observed weekly on day 0 (pre treatment), 7th and 14th (post treatment). Necropsy was carried out on all the animals which died during the study or surviving animals were sacrificed at the end of the study to observe any gross pathological changes.
Doses:
2000 mg/kg b.wt
No. of animals per sex per dose:
Three female rats were used per step for each dose level.
Control animals:
yes
Details on study design:
The test compound was administered by oral route by using of oral cannula at the dose volume of 10 ml/kg b.wt. The treated animals were closely observed for clinical signs of intoxication, first 4 hours and every 1 hrs interval for 24 hrs after dosing and thereafter twice a day for 14 days. All the rats were observed at least twice daily to observe any clinical signs or behavioral changes. The body weight of all the animals was observed weekly on day 0 (pre treatment), 7th and 14th (post treatment).
