Twenty-six-week repeat-dose toxicity study of a recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor derivative (nartograstim) in cynomolgus monkeys.

An rhG-CSF derivative, nartograstim (NTG), at dose levels of 0 (saline), 0.1, 1, 10, and 100 microg/kg, was administered subcutaneously to groups of 3 male and 3 female cynomolgus monkeys once daily for 26 weeks to investigate its toxicity. In Week 4 or later, an increase in leukocyte counts consisting mainly of neutrophils was noted in all NTG dose groups, and was considered to be attributable to the pharmacological action of NTG.

[Antigenicity study of (+/-)-4-diethylamino-1,1-dimethylbut-2-yn-1-yl 2-cyclohexyl-2-hydroxy-2-phenylacetate monohydrochloride monohydrate (NS-21), a novel drug for urinary frequency and incontinence].

An antigenicity study of (+/-)-4-diethylamino-1,1-dimethylbut-2-yn-1-yl 2-cyclohexyl-2-hydroxy-2-phenylacetate monohydrochloride monohydrate (NS-21), a new drug for the treatment of urinary frequency and incontinence, was conducted in Hartley guinea pigs and BALB/cAnN mice. The following results were obtained. No active systemic anaphylaxis reactions were found in guinea pigs immunized by subcutaneous injection of NS-21 alone or in combination with Freund's complete adjuvant (FCA).

[A 26-week oral repeated dose toxicity study of (+/-)-4-diethylamino-1,1-dimethylbut-2-yn-1-yl 2-cyclohexyl-2-hydroxy-2-phenylacetate monohydrochloride monohydrate (NS-21), a novel drug for urinary frequency and incontinence, in rats followed by a 9-week recovery test].

A 26-week oral repeated dose toxicity study of (+/-)-4-diethylamino-1, 1-dimethylbut-2-yn-1-yl 2-cyclohexyl-2-hydroxy-2-phenylacetate monohydrochloride monohydrate (NS-21), a new drug for the treatment of urinary frequency and incontinence, was conducted in Sprague-Dawley rats. Male and female rats were given the drug orally for 26 weeks at doses of 0 (control), 5, 50 and 500 mg/kg. After discontinuation of the treatment, a 9-week recovery test was also conducted.

[Antigenicity study on lactitol (NS-4)].

Lactitol hydrate (lactitol) was tested for its antigenicity in guinea pigs and mice. The following results were obtained. 1.

[13-week oral toxicity study of lactitol (NS-4) in dogs followed by 4-week recovery test].

Unlabelled: 13-week repeated dose toxicity studies were conducted on lactitol, a hepatic encephalopathy drug. In the experiment I, male and female dogs were orally treated with lactitol at doses of 0, 1.0, 2.

[Single dose toxicity study of lactitol (NS-4) in dogs].

Male beagle dogs were orally given lactitol, a hepatic encephalopathy drug, in a single dose of 7.5, 15.0 or 30.

[The effect of inhalation of sevoflurane for an hour on the liver of beagles].

The effect of sevoflurane in comparison with that of enflurane and halothane, each at 1.8 MAC, on the liver was examined after inhalation exposure to beagles under controlled respiration for 1 hr. No abnormalities were observed in general conditions in the animals exposed to any of these anesthetics.
