摘要
This study evaluated toxic efficacy of Eupatorium adenophorum extracts,against the Kunming mice.In acute study,we firstly tested median lethal dose(LD50)in mice of three cadinene sesquiterpenes 2-deoxo-2-(acetyloxy)-9-oxoageraphorone(DAOA),9-oxo-agerophorone(OA)and 9-oxo-10,11-dehydro-agerophorone(ODA)from Eupatorium adenophorum(Ea).DAOA(215–4640 mg/kg BW,given orally)showed lowest LD50 at 926 mg/kg BW for male mice in contrast with OA(1470 mg/kg BW)and ODA(1470 mg/kg BW).In sub-acute study,repeated doses(75–300 mg/kg BW,for 7 days)of DAOA/OA increased blood parameters,liver and spleen index in dose dependent relationship,along with decrease in thymus index.The blood biochemical and histopathological examination showed that DAOA/OA dose 300 mg/kg BW significantly causes pathological changes of hepatic lobules and hepatocytes,which are consistent with cholestasis and hepatic injury.75 mg/kg dose of DAOA/OA was found to be approximately/totally safe over the span of 7 days treatment showing no change in all above described parameters.Cadinene sesquiterpenes guarantee low risk to environment as a type of low toxic botanical components,which may find potential application in biopesticides development field.
