A novel macrolide antibiotic was administered orally to 5-week-old Jcl:Wistar rats at a dose of 5,000 mg/kg/day for 5 weeks, and then a half of animals were maintained without any treatment for 10 weeks. A white discolored lesion with horizontal stripes developed on the surface of the upper and lower incisors after dosing for 4 weeks, and these macroscopical incisal lesions disappeared with the eruption in 4 weeks after stop of administration. Histopathologically, increase in number of karyopycnosis of ameloblast at the transitional stage, vacuolar degeneration of ameloblast and cystic change in the maturation stage, and impaired iron pigment secretion at the pigmentation stage were observed. Microradiography, calcio-traumatic zones, which means hypocalcification, were observed on the superficial layer of enamel. These results suggest that the primary lesion induced by a novel macrolide antibiotic is the increased karyopycnosis of ameloblast at the transitional stage, and followed by later stage.
