This study was conducted to investigate the acute toxicity and safety of Pyungwi-san (Pingwei-san) in Sprague-Dawley rat though the current regulatory guideline. The preliminary study showed that the single oral administration of Pyungwi-san (Pingwei-san) did not induce any toxic effect at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg. Based on the results, 2000 mg/kg was selected as the limited dose. In this study, 10 rats of each sex were randomly assigned to two groups of 5 rats each and were administrated singly by gavage at dose levels of 0 and 2000 mg/kg. After single administration, Mortalities, clinical signs, body weight changes, gross findings were observed for the 15-day period. Throughout the study period, no treatment-related deaths were observed. There were no adverse effects on clinical signs, body weight, and gross findings at all treatment groups. These results showed that the single oral adminstration of Pyungwi-san (Pingwei-san) did not cause any toxic effect at the dose levels of 2000 mg/kg in rats. In conclusion, the $LD_{50}$ of Pyungwi-san (Pingwei-san) was considered to be over 2000 mg/kg body for both sexes.

아직까지 시도된 바 없는 살균성 phenylthionocarbamate 유도체들의 phenyl-치환기가 변화함에 따라 TOPKAT 계산으로 예측된 다양한 급성 및 만성 독성값에 미치는 정량적인 분자구조와 독성과의 관계 (QSTRs)를 검토한 결과는 다음과 같다. (1) 기질분자의 구조변화에 따른 독성치와 그의 판별점수 (D.S.) 에 기초하여 분자 중 특정부분 (fragment)이 양 (+)의 값으로 독성에 기여하는 대체적인 순서는 Aro. C=C, -O-, -NH- 및 할로겐 (X) 원자의 순이었다. (2) 대부분의 화합물들은 매우 높은 돌연변이와 발암성이 예측되었으며 특히, 치환기의 위치에 관계없이 fluoro-치환체는 $B_2$상수에 따른 입체효과 ($(B_2)_{opt.}=1.54{\AA}$)에 의하여 모두 100% 돌연변이를 발현한 반면에 trifluorornethyl-치환체는 돌연변이 발현 가능성이 전혀 없었다. (3) 가장 높은 독성 발현조건은 phenyl-치환기에 대한 소정의 적정값으로 돌연변이성에는 $(B_2)_{opt.}=1.54{\AA}$, 발암성에서 수컷 rat와 mouse는$(R)_{opt.}=0.16$ 및 $(\pi)_{opt.}=0.16$ 그리고 rat의 경구독성은 $LD_{50};({\varepsilon}LOMO)_{opt}=-0.52e.v.$, chronic LOAEL; $(B_3){opt.}=1.54{\AA}$, 어독성은 ${LC_50}$; $(logP)_{opt.}=4.25$ 및 물벼룩에 대한 독성은 $EC_{50};({\sigma})_{opt}=-0.68$를 나타내는 경우 이었다. (4) 돌연변이성에는 할로겐 중, fluoro-기를 위시하여 nitro 및 methyl-기 등의 순서로 기여하였고 phenyl 고리 상, 치환기의 위치와 전자 수수관계에는 대체로 무관한 경향을 나타내었다.

Objectives : The object of this study was to obtain acute toxicity information (single oral dose toxicity) of Armeniacae Semen (AS), a medicinal herb used for treating constipation and various respiratory diseases, in rats. Methods : In order to observe the $LD_{50}$ (50% lethal dose), approximate lethal dosage (ALD) and target organs, AS aqueous extracts were orally administered once to female and male Sprague Dawley rats at dose levels of 2,000, 1,000, 500 and 0 (control) mg/kg (body weight). The mortality, changes in the body weight, clinical signs and gross observation were monitored for 14 days after single oral treatment of AS extracts, and the organ weights and histopathological findings of principle organs were observed after sacrifice. Results : After single oral treatment of AS 2,000 and 1,000 mg/kg, all (5/5; 100%) female and male rats died within 30 minutes after treatment, while no mortalities were observed in the female and male rats treated with 500 mg/kg of AS extract. Therefore, $LD_{50}$ in female and male rats was calculated as 741.95 mg/kg. Seizure, loss of locomotion, salivation, increases of respiration and heart-beat were observed after AS extract treatment, which were observed in all rats including the lowest dosage group, 500 mg/kg in the present study. In addition, lung congestion was visible in all mortal rats with AS 2,000 and 1,000 mg/kg, respectively. Conclusions : The results obtained in this study suggest that AS extract ranges in Class III, because the $LD_{50}$ and ALD in both female and male rats were calculated as 741.95 mg/kg and 500~1,000 mg/kg, respectively. However, AS extract should be carefully treated at clinical applications, because salivation, increase of respiration and heart-beat were also observed in the lowest dosage group, 500 mg/kg in the present study.

고사리의 ethanol extract를 독성실험한 결과는 mouse에 시료 10g/kg까지는 급성독$(LD_{50})$을 나타내지 않았다.

살균제 isotianol의 독성을 평가하고 일일섭취허용량을 설정하기 위하여 급성독성시험 등 시험성적서를 검토하였다. Isotianil은 소변과 대변을 통해 빠르게 대사되었다. 급성경구독성은 저독성이었으며 피부자극, 안점막자극성은 없는 것으로 나타났다. 피부감작성은 약한 감작성으로 판단되었으며, 유전독성은 없었다. 랫드와 개 만성독성시험 결과 간의 무게, 혈액학 및 임상생화학적 변화가 관찰되었다. 또한 생식독성과 기형독성에는 영향이 없었다. Isotianil은 12개월 만성독성시험의 최대무작용량이 2.83 mg/kg/bw/day로 가장 민감하였고, 안전계수 100을 적용하여 일일섭취허용량을 0.028 mg/kg/bw/day로 설정하였다.

The study aims to compare the action of Pleurotus cornucopiae and glibenclamide on alloxan-induced diabetes and ascertain how an aqueous extract of the edible mushroom regulates the expression of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), oxidative stress biomarkers and renal toxicity in a diabetic male Wistar rat model. Twenty-five adult male Wistar rats were randomly grouped into five groups with five rats per. Group 1 and those in the treatment groups received normal feed and water ad libitum. Group 2 received intraperitoneal administration of alloxan monohydrate (150 mg/kg body weight). Group 3 received alloxan monohydrate and glibenclamide (5 mg/kg body weight bwt), group 4 received alloxan monohydrate plus the extract (250 mg/kg bwt) and group 5 received alloxan monohydrate plus the extract (500 mg/kg bwt). The administration of glibenclamide plus the extract was oral for 14 days. Glibenclamide and the extract lowered blood glucose level, catalase, and glutathione peroxidase activities, increased the superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in rats with alloxan induced diabetes. The extract at 500 mg/kg bwt reduced the plasma urea and sodium concentration in the treated rats. The extract and glibenclamide could detoxify alloxan and restore its induced renal degeneration and glomeruli atrophy, intra renal hemorrhage and inflammation and oxidative biomarkers through activation of Nrf2 expression. The drug glibenclamide and P. cornucopiae have appreciable hypoglycemic activity and potential to restore the normal renal architecture in the rats, hence they offer similar curative effects. Additionally, the extract at 500 mg/kg bwt activated SOD and Nrf2 expression more than glibenclamide in rats with alloxan-induced diabetes.

$Nokyangbotang^{TM}$ (NYBT) is a kind of powerful food for health and have been drunk at a oral dose of 80 ml (99.5 mg) three times per day: It has not been well studied about the anti-fatigue and hepatoprotective activity. In this experiments, we evaluated pathophysiologically the effect of NYBT on swimming time in mouse and hepatoprotective activity in rats intoxicated with carbon-tetrachloride. NYBT was nontoxic in orally acute toxicity test ($LD_{50}$, 320 ml/60 kg): a nontoxic food in more four times of one-shoot dosage (80 ml) to human. Weight-loaded forced swimming test was carried out to measure the swimming time of mice with a 4% load of body weight in plastic cylinder (diameter $10{\;}cm{\;}{\times}{\;}height{\;}20{\;}cm$) on water bath at $25^{\circ}C$, and the anti-fatigue activity represented the ratio of swimming time of experimental group to that of control group. NYBT had dose-dependent anti-fatigue activity Mice administered NYBT at a dose of 320 ml/60 kg once daily for 5 days could swim about two times more than control. Hepatoprotective activities of NYBT were examined by the determination of malonedialdehyde (MDA) and pathological survey in liver and liver function test of rat intoxicated with $CCl_4$ at i.m. dose of 2 ml/kg once daily for 7days. NYBT decreased dose-dependently thiobarbituric acid reactive substance: Oral administration of NYBT at a dose of 20 ml/60 kg was $38.51{\;}{\pm}{\;}3.02$ nmol MDA/g of tissue, that of 80 ml/60 kg was $33.76{\;}{\pm}{\;} 1.84$ nmol MDA/g of tissue, and that of 320 ml/60 kg was $32.87{\;}{\pm}{\;}1.90$ nmol MDA/g of tissue as compared with control group ($43.61{\;}{\pm}{\;}2.85$ nmol MDA/g of tissue). All rats administered NYBT at a dose of 320 ml/60 kg were survival as compared with 40% survival of control animals, and GPT activity of rats administered NYBT at a dose of 80 ml/60 kg was decreased as compared with control. In histopathological survey, NYBT improved slightly the fatty changes of hepatocytes around centrilobular area. These results suggest that NYBT has anti-fatigue and hepatoprotective activity in rats and mice.

유산균식품, 발효유제품, 의약품 및 동물용 생균제 등에 사용되는 유산균을 국내에서 자체 개발하기 위하여 한국인 41명($2{\sim}35$세, 남자 26명, 여자 15명)의 분변으로부터 내산성, 내담즙산성 및 병원성균 억제능력이 우수한 Lactobacillus 균주들을 선발하였다. 최종적으로 선발한 균주를 L. acidophilus KY 2104로 명명하였으며, 생리적인 특성을 조사하였다. 상기 균주는 pH 3.0 완충용액에서 2시간동안 거의 100% 생존하였으며, pH 2.0에서는 초기 접종농도 $10^7\;cfu/mL$에서 2시간 동안 $10^4\;cfu/mL$ 이상 생존하였다. 또한 선발균주는 0.5%의 담즙산에서도 정상적으로 성장하였으며, 장내에서 주로 설사를 유발하는 병원성균(E. coli, Shigella dysenteriae, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella)에 대하여 생육억제능력을 나타내었다. Rat에 대한 L. acidophilus KY 2104 균주의 급성독성시험 결과, 모든 시험군에서 사망동물은 없었으며, 임상증상, 체중변화 및 부검소견에서도 다른 이상소견이 발견되지 않았다.
