For new substances it is the recommended stepwise testing approach for developing scientifically sound data on the safety of the substance. Three wistar rats (2 females and 1 male) were used for the study. AV/KPC/10 in single oral dose (2000mg/kg) supplemented to all rats. The parameters like general appearance, behavior, body weight, mortality and necropsy were studied. No changes in general appearance and mortality was observed. AV/KPC/10 was found to be safe at dose of 2000mg/kg.
