As a result of the industrial purification of hydrocarbons from mercaptans, tens of thousands of tons of dialkyl disulphides and their mixtures, the toxicity and hazard of which has not been fully understood, are accumulated annually. The exposure standards have been developed only for dimethyl disulphide. The study was aimed to define toxicometry parameters for diethyl disulphide, disulphide oil, and the mixture of dialkyl disulphides. Toxicology studies involving male outbred rats made it possible to define the median lethal doses and concentrations: diethyl disulphide — after intragastric injection DL50 = 1575 mg/kg, after the 4-hour inhalation exposure CL50 = 18,700 mg/m3, after intraperitoneal injection DL50 = 1134 mg/kg, and after skin application DL50 ˃ 2500 mg/kg; mixture of dialkyl disulphides — after intragastric injection DL50 = 428 mg/kg, after the 4-hour inhalation exposure CL50 = 4510 mg/m3, after intraperitoneal injection DL50 = 212 mg/kg, and after skin application DL50 ˃ 2500 mg/kg; disulphide oil — after intragastric injection DL50 = 448 mg/kg, after the 4-hour inhalation exposure CL50 = 4534 mg/m3, after intraperitoneal injection DL50 = 156 mg/kg, and after skin application DL50 ˃ 2500 mg/kg. The hazard assessment for dialkyl disulphides and their mixtures was performed.

Administration of microcystin (MCYST)-YM or -LR (peptide hepatotoxins produced by the cyanobacterium Microcystis aeruginosa) to mice resulted in the inhibition of liver protein phosphatase 1 and 2A activity. In all cases significant inhibition preceded or accompanied clinical changes due to MCYST intoxication. Fifteen minutes after intraperitoneal injection of lethal doses of MCYST-YM protein phosphatase activity was already decreased to 44% of controls, and by 60 min was further decreased to 22% of controls. The inhibition was dose dependent: intraperitoneal injection with 84 nmol/kg of MCYST-YM and 48 nmol/kg of MCYST-LR were the minimum doses required for significant inhibition at 60 min. Pretreatment of mice with 200 mumol/kg of rifamycin prevented the inhibition of liver protein phosphatase. The inhibition was tissue specific, with none detected in the kidneys, an organ that, unlike the liver, does not accumulate MCYST. In contrast to MCYST intoxication, lethal doses of phalloidin, a peptide hepatotoxin that produces clinical and pathological changes similar to MCYST, did not cause any inhibition of protein phosphatases.

AIM: We aimed to investigate several parameters after the in vivo acute and sub-acute administration of ethanolic extracts from E. alsinoides & C. asiatica. METHODS: Malignant Ovarian Germ Cell Tumors for in vivo toxicity study guidelines 423 and 407 of Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) were followed for acute and sub-acute toxicity assays respectively. For LD50 evaluation, a single dose of ethanolic extracts of Evolvulus alsinoides L. (EEA) and ethanolic extracts of Centella asiatica (ECA) was orally administered to mice at doses of 200, 400, 800, 1600 and 2000 mg/kg. Then the animals were observed for 72 hours. For acute toxicity evaluation, a single dose of both extracts was orally administered to mice at doses of 300, 600, 1200 and 2000 mg/kg and the animals were observed for 14 days. In the sub-acute study, the extracts were orally administered to mice for 28 days at doses of 300, 600, 1200 and 2000 mg/kg. To assess the toxicological effects, animals were closely observed on general behaviour, clinical signs of toxicity, body weight, food and water intake. At the end of the study, it was performed biochemical and hematological evaluations, as well as histopathological analysis from the following organs: brain, heart, liver, and kidney. RESULTS: The oral administration of E. alsinoides and C. asiatica ethanolic extracts, i.e. EEA 300, EEA 600, EEA 1200, EEA 2000, ECA 300, ECA 600, ECA 1200 & ECA 2000 mg/kg doses showed no moral toxicity effect in LD50, acute and sub-acute toxicity parameters. CONCLUSION: In this study, we had found that E. alsinoides & C. asiatica extract at different doses cause no mortality in acute and sub-acute toxicity study. Also, histopathology of kidney, liver, heart, and brain showed no alterations in tissues morphology.
