Acute Toxicity of Cashew Nut Shell Extract ( Anacardium occidentale L.) In Albino Rat ( Rattus norvegicus Berkenhout 1769). Niken Satuti, Mammed Sagi and Pudji Astuti, 2016. All doses of the extract did not affect the development body weight and the weight of organs (spleen, liver, heart, kidneys and lungs) in female rats. The administration of extract also causes behavioral changes in animal including passivity and mucus secretion. The results showed that the potency for acute toxicity (LD 50) of cashew nut shell extract was 2,018 mg kg ≡ which classified as moderately toxic category. Probit analysis using Weil method was used as an effective dose.

Clinical symptoms were observed 24 h after the administration of extract include behavioral changes i.e., licking, scratching, twitching, tremors, wrihing, reactivity to stimuli, cerebral and spinal reflexes, secretions, breath, skin, hair and death. The amount of cashew nut shell extract that were given to group I, II, III and IV were 2.5, 25, 250 and 2,500 mg kg ≡ b.wt., respectively, while group V were given 0.5% sodium carboxyl methyl cellulose (CMCNa) solution. Each group was given the extract of cashew nut shell orally (force-fed). The rats was divided into five groups, each consist of four rats after acclimatization. This study was conducted to determine the potency of acute toxicity (LD 50) of cashew nut shell extract on female albino Wistar rats using Weil method.
