Rotigaptide (intravenous administration; 300 mg/kg; single dose) treatment in mice and rats does not result in toxicity in either species.
In escalating dose studies, Rotigaptide (continuous intravenous infusion; 5-14 days) in rats (100 mg/kg) and dogs (10 mg/kg) are well tolerated and produces no compound-related effects or histological toxicological findings.
