In vivo and in vitro toxicity tests of JointAlive® were studied in animal models to support the safe use of JointAlive® as a drug for knee osteoarthritis treatment. The acute toxicity study in Sprague Dawley (SD) rats was conducted at a 20 g/kg bw/day dose of JointAlive®. For 13-week subchronic toxicity tests, SD rats were orally dosed daily with 0.5, 1.5 and 5 g/kg bw/day of JointAlive®. To assess the potential genotoxicity, Ames test, cellular chromosome aberration and mouse micronucleus test in vivo were carried out. Based on a lack of notable findings other than histopathology finding of co-incidental prostate inflammation at the high dose, the "No Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL)" of JointAlive® was concluded as 5 g/kg bw/day in males and females. Results also indicated that JointAlive® has no risk of genotoxicity. General toxicity and genotoxicity studies empirically demonstrated that JointAlive® poses a low risk of potential health risks, providing safety supports for the application of JointAlive® as a potential drug candidate to treat knee osteoarthritis.
