| Abstract | MCC-555, a treatment candidate for type 2 diabetes, is a novel thiazolidinedione which has comparatively high anti-diabetic efficacy. The present study was conducted to evaluate its toxicity and toxicokinetics in beagle dogs by oral administration at doses of 0, 6.67, 20 or 40mg/kg/day for 270 days. A 30-day recovery period was included at the end of the study to evaluate the reversibility of the toxic effects. During the treatment and recovery periods, the effects of the test agent on mortality, body weight, food consumption, hematology, serum biochemistry, urinalysis, electrocardiogram (ECG), organ weights, bone marrow and histopathology were examined. There were no treatment-related mortalities. Vomiting was observed in dogs receiving 40mg/kg/day during administration, but the dogs recovered within 1h after oral administration. Significant increases in total bilirubin and alkaline phosphatase were observed in dogs receiving the 40mg/kg/day dose during the treatment period, but the levels returned toward normal during the 30-day recovery period. Mild hydropic or fatty degeneration in the liver and inflammatory cell infiltration in the hepatic lobule or portal area was also observed sporadically without a dose-dependent relationship at the end of treatment and recovery periods. The most apparent toxicity in dogs was in the digestive system. However, these toxic effects of MCC-555 were transient and reversible. The accumulation of MCC-555 after 270-day oral administration was not notable at the toxic dose of 40mg/kg/day and the no-observed-adverse-effect level (NOAEL) was 20mg/kg/day. No differences in toxicokinetics of MCC-555 were observed between male and female dogs and no significant accumulation of MCC-555 was observed in tissues after 270 days of repeated treatments. MCC-555 distribution into different organs showed a higher penetration in the liver, kidneys and testes, followed by the ovaries and uterus. Metabolites and the metabolic style of MCC-555 are to be approved. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
