Acute toxicity study:

This study determines acute toxicity of “Makardhwaj Rasayan Tablet” an oral formulation

prepared with suspension of test drug using gum acacia, in rats was assessed for single dose

acute toxicity by employing OECD guidelines 425 using AOT software. The dosed (up down as

per requirement) rats were observed for 14 days, for general appearance, cage side behaviour

including increased or decreasing motor activity, convulsions, straub’s reaction, catatonia,

muscle spasm, spasticity, ophisthotonus, hyperesthesia, muscle relaxation, anaesthesia, arching

and rolling, lacrimation, salivation, diarrheal, writhing movement, mode of respiration and

changes in skin colour etc., with mortality and autopsy finding in case of dead animal.

Conclusion:

The test drug did not produce any mortality up to the dose of 2000mg/kg per oral which is

equivalent to 22.4g total dose for a human being weighing 70 kg man. At the dose level studied

the drug also did not produce any observable toxic effect except for mild irritation in animal in

the dose550mg/kg and 2000mg/kg. Based on the observation made and recorded it can be

concluded that the test drug is without any toxic potential even at the dose of 2000mg/kg in

animals equivalent to 22.4g for human being. This dose in human being is 32 fold in

comparison to normal human dose 0.7g per day.

2.2- TEST CONDITIONS

1. Animal species : Rats

2. Strain : Wistar albino

3. Source : Animal house attached to SDM Research centre, SDM

Ayurveda College Udyavara

4. Selection : A total of 5 healthy either sex of body weight 150-200g

Rats were selected according to AOT software .

5. Acclimatization period : All the selected animals were kept under

acclimatization For 7 days before dosing.

7. Numbering and identification : The animal were marked with saturated

Picric acid solution in water for proper

identification. The marking within the

cages is as follows.

Animal number

Marking

1 Head

2 Neck

3 Middle of the back

4 Base of the tail

5 No mark

4 Base of the tail 2000mg/kg 160 4.5ml

5 No mark 2000mg/kg 160 4.5ml

Husbandry condition:

1. Housing : Rats were housed in each cage of poly propylene with stainless steel top

grill. The dry husk was used as bedding material and was changed every

morning.

2. Environment : The animal were exposed to 12 hours light and 12 hours dark cycle with

The relative humidity 50 to 70 % and the ambient temperature was

22 ± 03 c.

3. Diet : Amruth brand rat pellete feed supplied by Pranav Agro Ltd, was

provided throughout the study period except on previous night of

dosing i.e(overnight) fasting before dosing. The drinking water was

given ad libitum Propylene bottles with stainless steel sipper tube

2.4 Preparation of Test formulation for administration:

1. Test drug : Makardhwaj Rasayan Tablet

2. Vehicle : Gum acacia 3. Dose preparation: The test formulation supplied by sponsor was made in to Fine suspension in vehicle with suitable concentration All the animal were dosed constant dose volume (1 ml/ 100g body weight) 175mg/kg , 550mg/kg, 2000mg/kg 4. Schedule : single dose per animal a) Administration : The test formulation was administered through oral route at different dose levels to respective animals through oral feeding needle on to disposable syringe b) Dose fixation : According to the AOT Software. C) Route : oral d) Dose : 175mg/kg, 550mg/kg, 2000mg/kg test substance e) Dose volume : 1ml/100g animal

3. Observation:

3.1 Examination of Physical and Behavioural changes :

The animal was observed continuously for 4 hours after the dosing. The careful cage side

observation was done without disturbing the animal attention and at the end of the every hour

the animal were individually exposed to open arena for recording the behavioural changes like

increased or decreased motor activity , convulsions, straub’s reaction, muscle spasm, catatonia,

spasticity, ophisthotonus , hyperesthesia , muscle relaxation, anaesthesia, arching and rolling,

lacrimation, salivation , diarrhoea, writhing , mode of respiration, changes in skin colour etc.

exitus, CNS depression – hypo activity, passivity, relaxation, ataxia, narcosis, etc.

10

3.2 Mortality:

All the animals were observed at ½, 1, 2, 3, 4, 24 h, 48 h after dosing and there after

daily once for mortality during the entire period of the study (i.e.14 days).

4. RESULT:

4.1 Physical and behavioural examination:

There were no Physical and Behavioural changes-(except mild increase in motor activity and

irritability were seen in animals dosed 550mg/kg and 2000mg/kg) in all the treated animals on

day one at ½, 1,2,3,4 hours intervals after dosing and there after once daily for 14 consecutive

days. Thus the data obtained from the study on single dose administration of Makardhwaj

Rasayan Tablet oral administration up to 14 days of observation period does not result in any

physical and behavioural changes.

4.2 Mortality:

All the animals belonging to the treated group were survived throughout the 14 days

observation period after dosing.

11

Conclusion:

The test drug did not produce any mortality up to the dose of 2000mg/kg per oral

which is equivalent to 22.4g total dose for a human being weighing 70 kg man. At

the dose level studied the drug also did not produce any observable toxic effect

except for mild irritation in animal in dose550mg/kg and 2000mg/kg and thus it

could be concluded that the test drug is without any toxic potential even at the

dose of 2000mg/kg in animals equivalent to 22.4g for human being.
