STUDYING GENERAL TOXIC EFFECT OF EPILOBIUM ANGUSTIFOLIUM L

Abstract

The results of the toxicological experiment on extracts from Epilobium angustifolium L. herb are presented. Absence of reliable negative changes, structural and functional disorders was established in accordance with the criteria for assessing the harmfulness and danger of toxic effect of the raw materials studied in Good Laboratory Practice (GLP). Significant differences in some hematological parameters in the experimental group of animals where the dose of Epilobium angustifolium extract making 800 mg/kg of animal weight was chosen for study compared to the control one are not diagnostically significant and are within the fluctuations of physiological norms for the animals species given. It was found that the extracts in doses of 200, 500 and 800 mg/kg (by dry residue) in repeated oral administration for 28 days do not cause detectable toxic effects.
