Developmental Toxicity of Homobrassinolide in Wistar Rats

Abstract

Brassinosteroids (BRs) are close analogues of animal cholesterol. Brassinosteroids have shown their great value as yield promoters of a variety of plants. In view of its steroidal moiety and recent use in agriculture in many countries, the teratogenic potential of homobrassinolide (HBR) was evaluated in Wistar rats. Homobrassinolide was administered by oral gavage at doses 0, 100, and 1000 mg/kg body weight in water during gestation days (GD) 6 to 15 in groups of 20 mated females. Maternal and embryo-fetal toxicity was analyzed by studying the effects such as clinical signs, mortality/morbidity, abortions, body weight, feed consumption, and pregnancy data, gravid uterine weights, implantation losses, litter size, external, visceral, and skeletal malformations. No treatment-related effect was observed on any of the maternal/fetal end points in any dose group. From the results, it can be concluded that HBR is nonteratogenic at doses as high as up to 1000 mg/kg body weight in Wistar rats.
