Abstract

A 12-month oral repeated dose toxicity study of (+/-)-4-diethylamino-1, 1-dimethylbut-2-yn-1-yl 2-cyclohexyl-2-hydroxy-2-phenylacetate monohydrochloride monohydrate (NS-21), a new drug for the treatment of urinary frequency and incontinence, was conducted in beagle dogs. Male and female dogs were given the drug orally for 12 months at doses of 0 (control), 3, 17.5 and 100 mg/kg. After discontinuation of the treatment, a 2-month recovery test was also conducted. No effects related to the treatment were observed on survival and water consumption. Mydriasis, vomiting and a decrease in body weight or a suppression of its weight gain were seen in the 17.5 and 100 mg/kg groups. Salivation and a decrease in food consumption were seen in the 100 mg/kg group. Ophthalmologic examination confirmed the mydriasis in the 17.5 and 100 mg/kg groups. Electrocardiographic and hematological examinations and urinalysis showed no abnormalities attributable to the treatment. Blood chemical examination revealed increases in GPT and ALP in the 17.5 and 100 mg/kg groups, increases in GOT and triglyceride and a decrease in total protein in the 100 mg/kg group. Pathological examination disclosed hepatocellular hypertrophy and concentric lamellar bodies d...Continue Reading
