Gas-filled microbubbles are used as contrast agents in diagnostic ultrasound imaging. A preclinical, acute toxicity study of 2 surfactant-stabilized ultrasound contrast agents (ST68 and ST44) was conducted. Subjects were 104 Sprague-Dawley rats (experimental doses, 0.1, 0.2, 0.8, and 1.0 mL/kg; control, 1.0 mL/kg saline) that were studied for 14 days after contrast; clinical signs, weight, blood, and urine were evaluated. Histopathology was performed following euthanasia. Of the 40 animals receiving ST44, 4 died prematurely and a dose dependency was demonstrated ( P = .011), whereas in the ST68 groups only 1 death occurred (no dose dependency; P = .48). Only the weight of rats injected with ST44 varied significantly ( P = .0003). This dependency was also found for 3 of 5 urine parameters and 4 of 36 blood parameters ( P < .05). For ST68, only 1 urine parameter showed significance ( P < .0001). Giant cell infiltration in the lungs was significantly higher than controls in the ST44 0.1 mL/kg and the ST68 0.8-1.0 mL/kg groups ( P < .01). It is concluded that the prudent choice for future nonrodent, toxicology studies and potentially for human clinical trials is ST68 (given the deaths in the ST44 groups).

This study was performed to investigate the potential effects of nocturnal, low-intensity light upon ovarian morphology of female Sprague-Dawley rats and to investigate the cause for ovarian changes which had been observed in an earlier study following transient exposure of control female Sprague-Dawley rats to indirect light of minimal intensity during the nocturnal 12-h dark cycle. Twenty female Sprague-Dawley CD rats (initial age: 5 weeks) were kept for 8 weeks under our standard laboratory conditions including a daily 12-h light cycle (light intensity: approximately 200 lux) followed by a 12-h dark cycle with exposure to an indirect light source of low intensity (approximately 30 lux). Ten female control rats of comparable age from a concurrent toxicology study housed in an adjacent animal room under our standard 12 h light/dark cycle served as controls. At the end of the study the rats were sacrificed, necropsied and the ovaries were evaluated histopathologically. In 5 of the 20 animals we found ovarian atrophy consisting of decreased number and size of corpora lutea and increased number of tertiary follicles and/or follicular cysts. Most corpora lutea present in these ovaries were old, indicating the absence of recent ovulations. In contrast, the incidence of ovarian changes in the control group was 0/10. In conclusion, nocturnal exposure of female Sprague-Dawley rats to light of minimal intensity produced a substantial incidence of ovarian changes and suggests that the incidence of ovarian atrophy observed in a previous study may have been due to transient exposure to indirect nocturnal light of minimal intensity.
