Abstract: Objective To preliminarily evaluate the safety of acteoside through toxicity tests of single and repeated dose, thus laying the foundation for in-depth and comprehensive safety evaluation. Methods Single dose toxicity test: SD rats were randomly divided into a solvent control group and a medication group(5 000 mg·kg-1), and were administered orally in single dose. The general clinical symptoms,mortality,and weight of rats within 14 days were observed and recorded,and the main organs were visually observed.Repeated dose toxicity test: SD rats were randomly divided into a solvent control group, and acteoside low (100 mg·kg-1), medium (500 mg·kg-1), and high dose group(2 000 mg·kg-1), 30 in each group, and were continuously administered for 28 days and recoverded for 28 days. Their general clinical symptoms, body weight, food intake, urine routine, and other related indicators were observed and tested. Results The single dose toxicity test results showed that compared with the solvent control group, there were no deaths or abnormalities in rats; there was no statistically significant difference in body weight (P>0.05), and there were no visible lesions in organ tissues. The repeated toxicity test results showed that compared with the solvent control group, there was no statistically significant difference in body weight, food intake, coagulation indicators, organ wet weight and organ coefficient of rats(P>0.05). There was no toxicological effect on hematology, liver function and kidney function, and there was no obvious histopathology change related to drug administration in the high dose group; the positive detection rate of white blood cells and ketone bodies in the urine routine of female animals in the high-dose group was relatively high (P<0.05 or P<0.01), indicating reversibility. Conclusion In the single dose toxicity test, the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of single dose for acteoside was greater than 5000 mg·kg-1, and in the repeated dose toxicity test, the no observed adverse effect level (NOAEL) of acteoside was 500 mg·kg-1.
