摘要

Groups of 10 male and 10 female rats were administered 0, 25, 100 or 400 mg octan-3-ol/kg body weight per day, 77 mg 2-methylcrotonic acid/kg body weight per day or 163 mg oct-3-yl 2-methylcrotonate/kg body weight per day by gavage for 90 days. Relative liver weights of high-dose octan-3-ol males, and males and females dosed with oct-3-yl 2-methylcrotonate were significantly greater than those of the control. In male and female rats dosed with the highest level of octan-3-ol and in male rats dosed with 2-methylcrotonic acid, incidences of bile duct proliferation were increased. In the kidneys of males dosed with mid- and high level of octan-3-ol and oct-3-yl 2-methylcrotonate, tubular karyomegaly and desquamation of tubular epithelial cells were observed. Based on increased liver weight and microscopic evaluation of the liver and kidney, a no-observed-effect level (NOEL) of 25 mg/kg for octan-3-ol in rats was established. The histopathological evaluation of the liver of rats dosed with oct-3-yl 2-methylcrotonate revealed lesions corresponding to the lesions seen in rats dosed mid-dose with octan-3-ol. This observation is in accordance with the general assumption that oct-3-yl 2-methylcrotonate is completely hydrolysed to octan-3-ol and 2-methylcrotonic acid. However, when comparing the liver histopathology of oct-3-yl 2-methylcrotonate and 2-methylcrotonic acid and the kidney lesions of all three substances, conflicting results were seen and the present study does not allow the conclusion to be drawn that oct-3-yl 2-methylcrotonate and structurally-related esters are completely hydrolysed, at least under the conditions of the present study.
