1, 2, 9, 10-tetramethoxyaporphine phosphate (MDL-832) was once considered a potential human antitussive. MDL-832 was administered orally in the diets of Sprague-Dawley rats at dose levels of 0, 5, 10, 20, 40, 80 and 160 mg/kg/day for 3 and 6 months and in gelatin capsules to Beagle dogs at 0, 5, 10, 15, 30 and 60 mg/kg/day for 3, 6 and 12 months. Histopathologic examinations of hematoxylin and eosin-stained cerebellar sections revealed intracytoplasmic brown pigment accumulations in large fusiform neurons (presumably the motor type) of the pons. The pigment granules were found to be PAS-positive, non-acid fast, iron-free, Sudan B-positive and fuchsinophilic. Intraneuronal pigment accumulations were seen in rats after 3 months of treatment at 80 mg but not at 40 mg and after 6 months at 20 mg but not at 10 mg. For dogs the effect was observed after 3 months at 60 mg but not at 30 mg and after 12 months at 10 mg but not at 5 mg.

Acylcarnitines were tested as potential absorption-enhancing agents for drugs that are poorly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. Urethan-anesthetized Sprague-Dawley rats and conscious Beagle dogs were used. Palmitoyl-DL-carnitine was the most effective acylcarnitine tested, although significant increases in drug absorption were observed with acylcarnitines containing C12 through C18 fatty acid chains. Palmitoyl-DL-carnitine afforded significant increases in the absorption of cefoxitin, gentamicin, cytarabine, somatostatin analogue, and alpha-methyldopa. The response to palmitoyl-DL-carnitine was concentration dependent and reversible within 60-120 min. Histological examination of the intestinal tissue revealed no apparent change in mucosal structural integrity at doses of palmitoyl-DL-carnitine that resulted in increased drug absorption. The acylcarnitines were effective in increasing drug absorption from the small intestine and the rectal compartment of both rats and dogs. The data also demonstrated effectiveness with aqueous and solid dosage forms (Witepsol H-15 suppositories). The data suggest that acylcarnitines may be effective and safe absorption-enhancing agents for a variety of drugs.

OBJECTIVES: The objectives of these studies were to investigate the toxicity, safety and toxicokinetics of single and multiple doses of artesunate for injection in rats and dogs. METHODS: Sprague-Dawley rats and Beagle dogs were treated intravenously or intramuscularly for 28 consecutive days with doses of up to 30 mg/kg artesunate, evaluating toxicity, kinetics, genotoxicity, and cardiovascular and central nervous safety parameters after single and 4-week repeated administrations. Furthermore, respiratory parameters were evaluated after a single intravenous administration in rats. RESULTS: Artesunate was well tolerated with no mortality and only minor effects on clinical pathology parameters. CONCLUSIONS: The results obtained in these studies support the safe use of intravenous and intramuscular artesunate in humans.
