Oral toxicity and pharmacokinetic studies of SHetA2, a new chemopreventive agent, in rats and dogs

SHetA2 is a heteroarotinoid that has shown selective inhibition of cancer cell growth and an induction of apoptosis without activation of nuclear retinoic acid receptors. In the rat study, SHetA2 was administered in 1% aqueous methylcellulose/0.2% Tween 80 by oral gavage at 0, 100, 500, and 2,000 mg...

Description
Summary:SHetA2 is a heteroarotinoid that has shown selective inhibition of cancer cell growth and an induction of apoptosis without activation of nuclear retinoic acid receptors. In the rat study, SHetA2 was administered in 1% aqueous methylcellulose/0.2% Tween 80 by oral gavage at 0, 100, 500, and 2,000 mg/kg/day for 28 days. The high-dose administration induced decreased activity in male rats, decreased body-weight gains and food consumption, and changes in organ weights. The major metabolite of SHetA2 in rat plasma was monohydroxy SHetA2, which was considerably higher than the parent compound after oral and intravenous administration. Pharmacokinetic analysis showed extremely low (
