ABSTRACTObjectiveTo study the influence of oxcarbazepine administration at single or repetitive (multiple) dose in pregnant mice and the interference effects of folic acid on the unexpected adverse event induced by oxcarbazepine in pregnant mice, and to investigate the measures to reduce the adverse effects of oxcarbazepine in pregnant mice. MethodsOne hundred and fifty mice were randomly divided into 5 groups (n=30 of each group, ratio of female to male was 2:1). In control group, the mice were perfused with distilled water (10 mL8226;kg-1) in stomach; in singledose oxcarbazepine group, the mice were perfused with oxcarbazepine (150 mg8226;kg-1) in stomach; in singledose oxcarbazepine + folic acid group, the mice were perfused with oxcarbazepine (150 mg8226;kg-1) and folic acid (0.07 mg8226;kg-1) in stomach; in repetitive dose oxcarbazepine group, the mice were perfused with oxcarbazepine (75 mg8226;kg-1) in stomach in the morning and afternoon, respectively; in repetitive dose oxcarbazepine + folic acid group, the mice were perfused with oxcarbazepine (75 mg8226;kg-1) and folic acid (0.07 mg8226;kg-1) in stomach in the morning and afternoon. Conception rate, abortion rate, the absorptions and dead rate, aberration rate, number of normal newborn mice, weight increment during pregnancy, the content of serum folic acid were detected. ResultsThe pregnancy rates of mice in oxcarbazepine singledose group, oxcarbazepine singledose + folic acid group, repetitive dose oxcarbazepine group, and repetitive dose oxcarbazepine + folic acid group were 20%, 30%, 40%, and 50%, respectively. The absorptions and dead rates were 18.8%, 9.8%, 11.6% and 9.2%, respectively. The weight increment during pregnancy and the contents of serum folic acid were increased in these groups in turn. No significant teratogenic effects caused by oxcarbazepine were found. ConclusionOxcarbazepine can lead to unexpected adverse events in mice during pregnancy without significant teratogenic effects; multiple small dose of oxcarbazepine and supplement of folic acid can reduce the adverse effects.
