title: [Phototoxicity and photoallergenicity tests of T-3761].
abstract: Phototoxicity and photoallergenicity tests of T-3761 (oral or percutaneous administration) were carried out in guinea pigs. Phototoxicity test of T-3761 (oral administration) was done in rats, too. The following results were obtained. 1. Compared with comparative drugs in oral administration, phototoxicity of T-3761 was equal to that of ciprofloxacin, slightly stronger than that of nalidixic acid and weaker than those of ofloxacin, enoxacin, sparfloxacin and lomefloxacin. 2. A sensibility to phototoxicity of T-3761 in rats was weaker than that in guinea pigs. 3. Phototoxicity and photoallergenicity were not observed in application of T-3761 as 10% ointment. 4. Photoallergenicity was not observed in oral administration of T-3761.
