Abstract

Toxicological study of L-asparaginase Was79, obtained by modification of native enzyme Wolinella succinogenes in Research Institute of Genetics and Selection, was performed in male and female inbred rats. L-asparaginase was injected intraperitoneally at the 1 and 10 therapeutic dose (15x1200 IU/kg or 15x12000 IU/kg with 24-h interval). Dynamics of body weight, hematological parameters, blood biochemical parameters, electrocardiography and urinalysis were performed for all animals. Five animals in each group were sacrificed 1 and 15 days post treatment. At necropsy, the organs were inspected macroscopically. The mass coefficients of heart, kidneys, liver, spleen and thymus were calculated. The pathomorphological evaluation was performed for internal organs. The results of the study demonstrate that the treatment with L-asparaginase Was79 did not produce any changes in body weight, hematology, blood biochemical or urinary parameters. Hematological, renal, gastrointestinal, and pancreatic toxicity of L-asparaginase have been documented only by microscopic pathology observation. Liver toxicity, revealed in the histopathological findings, was supported by the results of clinical chemistry. Marked elevation of ALT and alkaline phosphatase in serum was found in both treated groups. Most of these abnormalities were reversible and dose-dependent.
