    Abstract

    Six-month chronic oral toxicity studies of 7-chloro-3-[1-(2, 4-dichlorophenyl)-2-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)ethoxy-methyl] benzo[b]thiophene (sertaconazole, FI-7045, CAS 99592-32-2) were carried out in rats and ferrets. The dose levels used were 50, 150 and 300 mg/kg in rats and 50, 150 and 250 mg/kg in ferrets. There was no mortality associated with the drug in either of the two species. The results obtained show that the toxic effects may be summarized as a smaller body weight increase in rats at 150 and 300 mg/kg and in male ferrets at 250 mg/kg. Food consumption decreased significantly in rats at 300 mg/kg, and was not proportional to the doses of 150 and 50 mg/kg. In serum biochemistry, increases in alkaline phosphatase in rats, ALT in male ferrets at 150 and 250 mg/kg and AST only at 250 mg/kg were observed. BUN increased at 150 and 250 mg/kg in ferrets.
