A 13-week oral repeated dose toxicity study of (+/-)-4-diethylamino-1,1-dimethylbut-2-yn-1-yl 2-cyclohexyl-2-hydroxy-2-phenylacetate monohydrochloride monohydrate (NS-21), a new drug for the treatment of urinary frequency and incontinence, was conducted in Sprague-Dawley rats. Male and female rats were given the drug orally for 13 weeks at doses of 0 (control), 6, 30, 150 and 750 mg/kg. After discontinuation of the treatment, a 5-week recovery test was also conducted at doses of 0, 30, 150 and 750 mg/kg. Nine cases of death occurred in the 750 mg/kg group. Main pathological findings in these cases were congestion and edema in lung. Mydriasis, salivation, lacrimation and a decrease in body weight or a suppression of its weight gain were seen in the 30 mg/kg group and over. Piloerection and an increase in water consumption were seen in the 150 and 750 mg/kg groups. In addition, a decrease in spontaneous locomotor activity, abdominal distention, unkempt fur, soft stool, diarrhea and decreases in feces and food consumption were seen in the 750 mg/kg group. Ophthalmologic examination confirmed mydriasis and lacrimation in the 30 mg/kg group and over. Urinalysis showed decreases in Na+ and K+ excretions in the 30 mg/kg group and over, an increase in urinary protein in the 150 and 750 mg/kg groups, and a decrease in urine volume in the 750 mg/kg group. Hematological examination showed decreases in hemoglobin and hematocrit in the 150 and 750 mg/kg groups, and a decrease in lymphocytes in the 750 mg/kg group. Blood chemical examination showed an increase in total protein in the 30 mg/kg group and over, a decrease in triglyceride in the 150 and 750 mg/kg groups, and an increase in BUN in the 750 mg/kg group. Pathological examination disclosed hepatocellular hypertrophy caused by hyperplasia of smooth-ER in the 30 mg/kg group and over, and a decrease in number of glycogen granules in the 150 and 750 mg/kg groups. Stimulated thyroid follicles were seen in the 30 mg/kg group and over. Increases in incidence and severity of chronic progressive nephropathy were observed in the 150 and 750 mg/kg groups. Ultrastructual features of the renal lesions were swelling and foot process loss of the glomerular epithelial cells, absorption droplets in the glomerular epithelial cells, increase of lysosomes in the proximal tubular cells and hyaline casts in the tubular lumen. Adrenocortical hypertrophy was seen in the 150 and 750 mg/kg groups. In the 750 mg/kg group, a decrease of hematopoietic tissue in bone marrow and thymic and testicular tubular atrophy were observed. The recovery test showed that the above-mentioned changes were satisfactorily reversible or the degree and frequency of these changes were lowered. No treatment-related effects were seen in the 6 mg/kg group. These results show that the NOAEL (no observed adverse effect level) of NS-21 is 6 mg/kg for 13-week oral toxicity in rats.

Male and female rats were given the drug orally for 26 weeks at doses of 0 (control), 5, 50 and 500 mg/kg. After discontinuation of the treatment, a 9-week recovery test was also conducted. Two cases of death occurred in the 500 mg/kg group. Mydriasis, salivation and lacrimation were seen in the 50 and 500 mg/kg groups. Alopecia, a suppression of body weight gain and an increase in water consumption were seen in the 500 mg/kg group. Food consumption measurement showed no abnormalities attributable to the treatment. Ophthalmologic examination confirmed mydriasis in the 50 and 500 mg/kg groups. Urinalysis showed an increase in urine volume in the 50 and 500 mg/kg groups, and an increase in urinary protein and decreases in Na+, K+ and Cl- excretions in the 500 mg/kg group. Hematological examination showed decreases in hemoglobin, hematocrit, MCV, MCH, MCHC and lymphocytes in the 500 mg/kg group. Blood chemical examination showed increases in total cholesterol, phospholipid and total protein and decreases in glucose, triglyceride, free T3 and T4 in the 500 mg/kg group. Measurements of liver drug-metabolizing enzymes showed an increase in T4UDP-GT activity in the 50 and 500 mg/kg groups, and an increase in cytochrome P-450 in the 500 mg/kg group. Pathological examination disclosed hepatocellular hypertrophy caused by hyperplasia of smooth-ER in the 50 and 500 mg/kg groups, and a decrease in number of glycogen granules in the 500 mg/kg group. Stimulated thyroid follicles were seen in the 50 and 500 mg/kg groups. Increases in incidence and severity of chronic progressive nephropathy were also observed in the 500 mg/kg group. In this dose group, adrenocortical hypertrophy was also observed. The recovery test showed that the above-mentioned changes were satisfactorily reversible. The serum concentrations of NS-21 and its active metabolite, RCC-36, in the treated groups were increased in a dose-dependent manner. No treatment-related effects were seen in the 5 mg/kg group. These results show that the NOAEL (no observed adverse effect level) of NS-21 is 5 mg/kg for 26-week oral toxicity in rats.

Toxicokinetics of (+/-)-4-diethylamino-1,1-dimethylbut-2-yn-1-yl 2-cyclohexyl-2-hydroxy-2-phenylacetate monohydrochloride monohydrate(NS-21), a new drug for the treatment of urinary frequency and incontinence, were studied in mice and rats during a 13-week dietary administration to determine the toxicokinetic profiles of NS-21 and its active metabolite (+/-)-4-ethylamino-1,1-dimethylbut-2-yn-1-yl 2-cyclohexyl-2-hydroxy-2-phenylacetate monohydrochloride (RCC-36) in dietary carcinogenicity studies. Male and female mice were given the drug in the diet at doses of 0(control), 30, 100 and 300 mg/kg/day, and male and female rats were given the drug at doses of 0(control), 10, 30 and 100 mg/kg/day. The chosen doses and means of administration were identical to those of a 78-week dietary carcinogenicity study in mice and 2-year dietary carcinogenicity study in rats. The plasma concentrations were measured on the first and the last day of the administration. For every treatment period, the plasma concentrations of NS-21 and RCC-36 increased with dose in mice and rats. The sum of the area under the concentration-time curve(AUC) of NS-21 and RCC-36 was 2694 to 8614 ng.hr/ml in the maximum dose of mice, and 2232 to 3593 ng.hr/ml in the maximum dose of rats through the administration period. These results show that, when compared with therapeutic dose in humans(682 ng.hr/ml at 10 mg/body/day), the total maximal exposure to NS-21 and RCC-36 in the earlier dietary carcinogenicity studies were estimated to be 4 to 13 times higher in mice, and 3 to 5 times higher in rats.

A study was conducted to elucidate the mechanism of the increased thyroidal function caused by oral administration of (+/-)-4-diethylamino-1, 1-dimethylbut-2-yn-1-yl 2-cyclohexyl-2-hydroxy-2-phenylacetate monohydrochloride monohydrate (NS-21), a new drug for the treatment of urinary frequency and incontinence, in rats. Rats were given 500 mg/kg of NS-21 orally for 13 weeks. Rats were also given 500 mg/kg of the drug and 15 micrograms/animal of thyroxine (T4) in order to assess the influence of T4 treatment. NS-21 caused decreases in both total and free T4 and increases in TSH and thyroxine uridine diphosphate glucuronyltransferase (T4UDP-GT). Morphological examination of thyroid gland revealed stimulated follicles indicating heightened thyroidal function. The treatment of T4 inhibited the stimulating effect of NS-21 on thyroid gland. These results show that the administration of NS-21 caused induction of T4UDP-GT, which resulted in a compensatory stimulation of the thyroidal function by the increased secretion of pituitary TSH in response to increased blood thyroid hormone metabolism.

Fertility and developmental toxicity study of (+/-)-4-diethylamino-1,1-dimethylbut-2-yn-1-yl 2-cyclohexyl-2-hydroxy-2-phenylacetate monohydrochloride monohydrate (NS-21), a new drug for the treatment of urinary frequency and incontinence, was conducted in Crl:CD rats. Male rats were given NS-21 orally from 60 days before mating to the day of necropsy, and female rats were given NS-21 orally from 14 days before mating to day 7 of pregnancy. The dose levels for both males and females were 0 (control), 2, 30 and 500 mg/kg. On day 20 of pregnancy, the females were sacrificed and their fetuses examined. At the 500 mg/kg dosage level, one male and one female died. Salivation and dilated pupils occurred at the 30 and 500 mg/kg dosage levels, and rales occurred at 500 mg/kg. Body weights and food consumption were decreased, and water consumption was increased in both males and females at the 500 mg/kg dosage level. Decreases in the numbers of corpora lutea and implantations per litter and a lower number of live fetuses per litter were found at the 500 mg/kg dosage level. However, the incidence and number of postimplantation loss per litter were comparable among the treatment and control groups. These results demonstrate that the NOAEL (no observed adverse effect level) of NS-21 is 2 mg/kg for general toxicity in parental animals, and 30 mg/kg for reproductive function of the parent animals and for embryo-fetal development.

A study of teratogenicity and developmental toxicity of (+/-)-4-diethylamino-1,1-dimethylbut-2-yn-1-yl 2-cyclohexyl-2-hydroxy-2-phenylacetate monohydrochloride monohydrate (NS-21), a new drug for the treatment of urinary frequency and incontinence, was conducted in Crl:CD rats. Female rats were given NS-21 orally at dose levels of 0 (control), 2, 25 and 300 mg/kg from day 7 to day 17 of pregnancy. Twenty-two female rats per dose level were sacrificed on day 20 of pregnancy for examination of their fetuses, and the remaining pregnant rats (twenty-three per dose level) were allowed to deliver naturally for postnatal examination of their offspring. At the 300 mg/kg dosage level, rales, partially closed eyes and reduced activity were observed in pregnant rats. Decreases in body weight gain, food consumption and water consumption were observed in the dams at the 300 mg/kg dosage level. Fetal body weights were decreased at the 300 mg/kg dosage level. The drug never altered the numbers of corpora lutea and implantations, fetal mortality, the number of live fetuses, sex ratio, placental weight, and external, visceral and skeletal development of fetuses. NS-21 did not affect the delivery of dams, the number of live newborns, birth index, body weight or survival index. Nor did NS-21 have any adverse effect on the postnatal development of the offspring, including physical and functional development, emotionality, motor activity, learning ability and reproductive performance. These results demonstrate that the NOAEL (no observed adverse effect level) of NS-21 is 25 mg/kg for general toxicity in mother animals. 300 mg/kg for reproductive function in mother animal and 25 mg/kg for developmental toxicity.

A study of the effect of (+/-)-4-diethylamino-1,1-dimethylbut-2-yn-1-yl 2-cyclohexyl-2-hydroxy-2-phenylacetate monohydrochloride monohydrate (NS-21), a new drug for the treatment of urinary frequency and incontinence, was conducted in New Zealand White rabbits during the period of fetal organogenesis. Female rabbits were given NS-21 orally at dose levels of 0 (control), 2, 10 and 50 mg/kg from day 6 to day 18 of pregnancy. Female rabbits were sacrificed on day 29 of pregnancy for examination of their fetuses. Five does in the 10 mg/kg dosage group and one doe in the 50 mg/kg dosage group died or were sacrificed in moribund condition. Two does in the control group died. Lacrimation and convulsion were observed in the 10 and 50 mg/kg groups, and no or soft stool was observed in the 50 mg/kg dosage group. Body weight gain, food and water consumptions were decreased in the 50 mg/kg dosage group. There were no effects of NS-21 in necropsy findings at cesarean sections in does at any dosage level. Developmental toxicity of fetuses was not apparent at any dosage level. These results demonstrate that the NOAEL (no observed adverse effect level) of NS-21 is 2 mg/kg for maternal toxicity and 50 mg/kg for fetal toxicity.
