Abstract
Objective: It has now been demonstrated that compound 4-((5-(decylthio)-4-methyl-4H-1,2,4-triazol3-yl)methyl)morpholine shows antifungal and antimicrobial activities. This study was aimed to estimate
toxicity values of novel oil liniment, which is based on mentioned compound and has antifungal effect.
Material and Method: Research was held in accordance with guidelines “Toxicological screening
of new substances for animal safety products” and “Preclinical esearch of veterinary drugs”. Toxicity level
(amount of toxic doses) and benchmark doses for subacute study were assessed in conditions of acute study.
Experiments were conducted on male wistar rats using karber method.
Result and Discussion: Findings in the research of the acute effect have shown that studied substance
belongs to the group of low-toxic compounds in conditions of intragastric administration. All rats survived
and completed subacute study, and daily administration of oil liniment in duration of 14 days did not cause
possible changes in body and organ weight among animals in experimental groups. It was demonstrated that
prolonged exposure to the liniment caused possible increase of ALP and LDH on the background of possible
cholesterol decrease, which may be the evidence of cholestatic liver disease, and enhancement of
permeability of the cell membranes, which may be highlighted by destructive changes in liver.
