title: A new dosage form comprising a suspension of activated carbon particles adsorbing aclarubicin: toxicity in mice.
abstract: A new dosage form (ACR-CH), a suspension of small activated carbon particles adsorbing aclarubicin, was studied for its toxicity and histopathological effects on organs in mice. The 50% lethal subcutaneous dose of ACR-CH was 83.5 mg/kg, a value 2.42 times that (34.5 mg/kg) of the aclarubicin aqueous solution. The duration of the toxic effects of ACR-CH was prolonged compared with that of the aclarubicin aqueous solution. On autopsy there was no remarkable difference in macroscopic and microscopic examinations between the two dosage forms.
