Abstract: 1HNMR spectroscopy and pattern recognition method were used to assess acute toxicological effects of rare earth. Male Wistar rats were treated with Lu(NO3)-3 at doses of 0.2, 2.0, 10 and 100 mg/kg body weight with NaCrO4, HgCl2, CCl4, ANIT and N2H45HCl as the model toxins. The urine samples from the rats dosed with these compounds were collected over a 48 h time course and analyzed by 600 MHz 1HNMR spectra. Each NMR spectrum was data-processed to provide 220 intensity-related descriptors of spectra. The urine spectral data were analyzed by SIMCA method and successful classification of the toxicity and biochemical effects of Lu(NO3)3 were achieved. The toxicity induced by lower doses(0.2 and 2 mg/kg body weight) of Lu(NO3)3 was classified to NaCrO4 which produced lesion to proximal convoluted tubule cells, and the higher doses(10 and 100 mg/kg body weight) of Lu(NO3)3 could cause liver centrilobular necrosis like CCl4.
