Comparison of Single-Dose Toxicity by Intravenous Infusion or Bolus Injection with CKD-602, a Camptothecin Anticancer Agent in Rats (II): Hematological and Serum Biochemical, and Histopathological Changes

  • Published : 2004.09.01

Abstract

The toxicity of CKD-602 was investigated at doses of 3, 9, and 27 mg/kg in rats, when the same total dose of CKD-602 was administered over 24 hr-continuous infusion or bolus injection. At 3 and 9 mg/kg, the 24-hr infusion group showed a more decreased WBC count on day 3, compared with the bolus group. Administration of CKD-602 caused more toxic effects such as the significant decreases of RBC counts, hematocrit, hemoglobin, and platelet count on day 7 post-administarion in the 24-hr infusion group than in the bolus group. Administration of CKD-602 also caused histopathological changes such as extramedullary hemopoiesis of liver and spleen, hyperplasia of femoral bone marrow, and caecal dilation. These toxic effects were more severe in the 24-hr infusion group than in the bolus injection group, indicating that the toxicity of CKD-602 may be dependant upon the duration of administration.
