A 26-week toxicity study by oral gavage administration was performed in Sprague-Dawley rats with benzalazine (2-hydroxy-5-[(4-carboxyphenyl) azo] benzoic acid, CAS 64896-26-0), a new agent for the treatment of ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease of the large intestine, as a part of a safety evaluation program. Dosages of 0 (control), 300, 900 and 2700 mg/kg b.w./d were selected for this study. Except slight changes in the urinary status (decreased pH value and increased specific gravity) from 900 mg/kg b.w./d p.o. onwards, which were probably substance related, no further intolerance reactions were observed. The urine had a dark-yellow colour which was probably an indication of metabolites of benzalazine or benzalazine itself which were excreted via the urine. Behaviour, external appearance, body weight gain, food and water consumption, haematology, clinical biochemistry, organ weight analysis, macroscopic and microscopic examinations revealed no substance-related influence. Therefore, on the basis of the results obtained, it is concluded that the non-toxic dose level in this study is considered to be 300 mg benzalazine/kg b.w./d p.o. following daily administration for 26 weeks.
