title: Comparative evaluation of hepatotoxic side effects of various new trypanocidal diamidines in rat hepatocytes and mice.
abstract: A series of new trypanocidal diamidines was tested for their hepatotoxic potential. At a concentration of 0.5 mmol/l almost all agents tested produced leakage of lactate dehydrogenase and reduced viability of isolated rat hepatocytes. In mice serum sorbitol dehydrogenase was raised by a single i.p. dose of 65.5 mumol/kg. Only two agents, compounds 261/115 and 313/40, were free of these effects at this dose or concentration.
