摘 要:Paracetamol(acetominophen,APAP) was administered orally in a rising dose protocol to 2 male and 2 female Cynomolgus monkeys to determine the Maximum Tolerated dose(MTD) for subsequent toxicology *** the subsequent repeat dose study involving 6 monkeys,no dose-limiting toxicity was seen at up to 900 mg·kg-1.d-1 APAP for 14 *** analysis showed that plasma exposure rose,albeit less than proportionally,with increasing *** were some fluctuations in clinical chemistry and haematology parameters,but these were not dose-related,and there were no compound-related findings observed *** monkeys at 900 mg·kg-1.d-1 had a 5 cm,gas filled segment in their large intestine that was considered *** profiling of the urine showed parent and glucuronidated APAP,but the cysteinyl conjugate which would be anticipated if the monkey has similar metabolism to rats and man was notably *** opens the possibility that metabolism in the cynomolgus monkey differs from that in the other species,and shows that the cynomolgus monkey is a poor model for investigating paracetamol-mediated toxicity in humans.
