ACUTE AND SEMI-CHRONIC ORAL TOXICITY EVALUATION OF TONG VE NHAN SOFT CAPSULE IN EXPERIMENTAL ANIMALS
Main Article Content
Abstract
The article presents the evaluation of the anti-pneumonia effect of Tong ve nhan soft capsule (Vn-TVN), which produced by Vinpharma, in experimental animal. Objectives: Studying the acute toxicity and semi-permanent toxicity of Tong ve nhan soft capsule in experimental animals. Research Methods: The method was described by Alaa N. A. Fahmi et al (2015). Research results: Vn-TVN at doses of 416 mg/kg/day and 832 mg/kg/day have anti-inflammatory effects against LPS-induced pneumonia in rats. Specifically: reducing pulmonary edema through the W/D ratio of the lung parenchyma; reduction of lung injury through histopathological assessment of the lung; reduced lung inflammation by reducing C-reactive protein in rat blood and reducing protein, cells, LDH and NOx in bronchial lavage. The difference was statistically significant compared with the model batch with p < 0.01. These effects of Vn-TVN softgels tend to be dose-responsive.
