LEON PADILLA, María del Carmen et al. Toxicología aguda oral del Eucalyptus Saligna SM. por el método de las clases. Rev Cubana Plant Med [online]. 1999, vol.4, n.2, pp. 87-90. ISSN 1028-4796.
Present paper was developed in Provincial Unit of Experimental Toxicology in Camagüey province, to carry out acute toxicology study of Eucalyptus saligna Sm, where authors used class method of acute toxicity, from prefixed dose of 25,200 and 2 000 mg/kg of body weight (B.W.). Strain used as Rathus rathus, Wistar line, weighing from 150 g to 200 g. In dose of 2 000 mg/kg of BW, toxic signs were observed, including lethargy, somnolence and a decrease in stimuli response; but not in dose of 200 mg/kg of B.W. We confirmed that Eucalyptus saligna Sm. decoction isn't toxic, since there wasn't mortality with dose of 2 000 mg/kg, which according to standard used, is the limit dose.
