Chronic rat NOAEL 15 mg/kg/day: 0.06x (males) and 0.36x (females) human AUC at 150 mg/m2 BID
“The no-observed-adverse-effect level (NOAEL) was 15 mg/kg/day. AUC0-24hr at 15 mg/kg/day was 2.31 ȝJ·hr/mL in males and 14.1 ȝJ·hr/mL in females, which are 0.06 and 0.36 times the human AUC0-24hr (39.1 ȝJ·hr/mL) observed with 150 mg/m2 BID, respectively.”
6-month rat: renal toxicity (inner medulla necrosis, mineralization) at 30 and 60 mg/kg/day; NOAEL 15 mg/kg/day
“The results of the 6-month oral toxicity study in rats indicated that treatment with lonafarnib (at doses of 30 and 60 mg/kg/day) produced renal toxicity, including necrosis and mineralization in the inner medulla and mononuclear cell infiltrates. The no-observed-adverse-effect level (NOAEL) was 15 mg/kg/day.”
