Abstract:
Daurian Thermopsis (Thermopsis daurica Czefr.),Gobian Thyme(Thymus gobicusTschern.) and Mogilev Mallow (Malva mohileviensis Downer) are separately used as mucolytic and anti- inflammatory treatment in non-conventional medicine. Therefore, we prepared infusion of these herbals compound called as a Tetima. It is important to produce new pharmaceutical preparation that mucolytic effective for upper and lower respiratory tract inflammatory disease. Despite the wide use of this plants as herbal medicine in the treatment of respiratory tract diseases, their toxicity is still unknown. Therefore, we evaluated the possiblesubchronic toxic effects of Tetima herbal compound inrats. Tetima herbal compound infusion was prepared in distilled water (1:10). We used 15 Wistar breed rats (230-370 gr) in this study. Subchronic toxicity study for 28 days was done by oral administration at doses of 0.5ml normal saline (control) and 200 mg/kg, 400 mg/kg of infusion in Wistar ratsThe obtained data revealed that oral administration of Tetima in rats for 28 successive days had no significant changes the hematological parameters in rats all over the period of the experiment, and there are no significant increases in the activity of aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, creatinine and urea, between control and treated groups (p>0.05). The histopathological studies of the major vital organs like liver, kidney and heart recovered from the control and treated groups showed normal architecture suggesting no detrimental changes and morphological disturbances. These results show that the Tetima herbal compound is low toxic in subchronic toxicity study.
