In this study, the extract of Ocimum tenuiflorum was formulated to promote wound healing and no acute toxicity study has been reported on this type of formulation. Acute oral toxicity results of the rats after administration of 5000 mg/kg body weight (BW) formulation showed no toxic effects and behavioural changes of the rats after 14 days of observation. On day 14, the rats were anaesthetized to collect the vital organs for histopathological examination. The microscopy study of the visceral organs of wound healing powder group shows no sign of toxicity in comparison to untreated rats organs. In conclusion, the result of the acute oral toxicity test of wound healing drink showed no sign of toxicity, as corroborated by a histopathological study.

Gamma oryzanol (GO) is well known for its antioxidant activity and health-promoting benefits. The gamma oryzanol-loaded zein nanoparticles (GOZNs) were successfully prepared in our previous study. In the present work, the acute oral toxicity of GOZNs was evaluated based on OECD guideline 420. GOZNs were fabricated by the liquid-liquid dispersion and lyophilized. The samples displayed a mean diameter of 311.20±3.01 nm and high loading capacity of 311.22±7.97 to 322.69±5.67 mg-GO/g-powder after 42-day storage at -18oC. Healthy female Sprague Dawley rats (8 weeks of age) were used for the experiments. Five female rats were administered a single dose of 2,000 mg GO/kg body weight via the oral route. Observations of toxicity signs were recorded for the first 24 hours, and the changes in the general physical conditions were monitored for 14 days before the gross necropsy on day 15. The results show that Sprague Dawley rats exhibited normal growth, and neither mortality nor acute toxicity signs were observed throughout the study period. The findings revealed that GOZNs did not have acute toxicity and were safe when administered orally in Sprague Dawley rats for short periods with LD50 > 2,000 mg/kg.

The common use ofPouteria mammosa(L.) Cronquist, “Mamey or Zapote,” in food and ethnobotanic medicine shows its low or absent toxicity as fruit extracts prepared from seeds. However, it is essential to conduct security trials to scientifically support their use in drug therapy. This study evaluated the aqueous and hydroalcoholic extract (25%) Acute Oral Toxicity, obtained from the seeds ofP. mammosa, in Sprague Dawley rats and dermal and eye irritability in New Zealand rabbits. The 404 and 405 acute dermal and eye irritation/corrosion guidelines were used, as well as the 423 Acute Oral Toxicity guideline, Acute Toxic Class Method of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). The aqueous extract was located in the following category: not classified as toxic (CTA 5), while hydroalcoholic extract at 25% was classified as dangerous (CTA 4). Both extracts can be used without side reaction that irritates the skin which permitted classification as potentially not irritant.P. mammosain the two extracts caused mild and reversible eye irritation, and it was classified as slightly irritating.
