Journal Title: National Journal of Integrated Research in Medicine - Year 2011, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Present study was carried out to evaluate hepatotoxicity of nimesulide by single dose and seven days administration in sub therapeutic, therapeutic and supra therapeutic doses in litters of rat. Single dose and seven days administration hepatotoxicity studies of nimesulide were carried out in litters of rat of either sex. They were further subdivided into sub therapeutic (20 mg/kg), therapeutic (30 mg/kg) and supra therapeutic (100 mg/kg) groups. Effect of nimesulide on liver functions were analysed by serum glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase (SGOT), serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase (SGPT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and The present study indicates that nimesulide causes significant hepatotoxicity in litters of rat. histopathological examination of liver through scoring system. Histopathological changes in liver were observed in therapeutic and supra therapeutic doses in single dose groups and sub therapeutic, therapeutic and supra therapeutic doses in seven days groups. In single dose of nimesulide in litters, there were significant increases in biochemical parameters (p< 0.05) in supratherapeutic doses. However, in seven days studies of nimesulide in litters, there were significant increases in biochemical parameters (p< 0.05) in therapeutic and supratherapeutic doses.
