Examinations
- Observations and examinations performed and frequency:
- DETAILED CLINICAL OBSERVATIONS: Observations for viability and mortality were recorded once daily. Signs of toxicity were assessed once daily. Descriptions of all observations were recorded and the subsequent progress was monitored.
BODY WEIGHT: The body weight of each animal was recorded on the same days as the food consumption using the same recording system. Additionally, terminal body weights were recorded at necropsy.
FOOD CONSUMPTION: The food consumption was recorded once during the acclimatization period and weekly thereafter using an on-line electronic recording system consisting of a Mettler PM 4800 balance connected to the RCC computer.
OPHTHALMOSCOPIC EXAMINATION was done at Week 4, October 22, 1991, on all surviving animals. A description of any abnormality was recorded. Ten to ninety minutes after the application of a mydriatic solution (Dispersa AG, CH-8442 Hettlingen), the cornea, lens, anterior chamber, vitreous body and ocular fundus of both eyes were examined under dimmed light using a Heine BETA 200 Ophthalmoscope (Eisenhut Vet. AG, CH-4123, Allschwil).
CLINICAL LABORATORY INVESTIGATIONS: Blood and urine sampling were done at Week 4 (Oct. 24, 1991).
Blood samples for hematology and clinical biochemistry were collected from all animals under light ether anesthesia. The animals were fasted for approximately 18 hours before blood sampling but, allowed access to water ad libitum. Blood samples were collected between 07.00 and 08.30 a.m. to reduce biological variation caused by circadian rhythms. Blood samples were drawn from the retroorbital plexus using a micro-hematocrit glass capillary tube. The assays of blood and urine parameters were performed under internal laboratory quality control conditions to assure reliable test results. The summary and individual tables were generated by a computer the program of which limits the width of each column to 10 characters. Therefore, the names of some parameters have been abbreviated. Any abbreviation, has been defined in this section under "Parameter" in upper-case letters enclosed by parentheses. Clinical laboratory data were expressed in general accordance with the International System of Units (SI), which in structure comprises base units, derived units and supplementary units. It also includes a series of prefixes by means of which decimal multiples and submultiples of these units can be formed. In some cases non-SI Units or conventional units may be used. The anticoagulants used during blood collection were: EDTA-K2 (hematology); Lithium heparin 30 U.S.P. Units (methemoglobin); and Sodium citrate, 3.8% (coagulation; 1 part anticoagulant to 9 parts blood)
HAEMATOLOGY PARAMETERS: Erythrocyte count (RBC), Hemoglobin (HB), Hematocrit (HCT), Mean corpuscular Volume (MCV), Mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), Mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC), Platelet count (PLATELETS), Reticulocyte count (RETIC.), Nucleated erythrocytes normoblasts (NEN), Heinz bodies (HEINZ-BOD.), Methemoglobin (MET-HB), Total leukocyte count (WBC), Differential leukocyte Count (Diff. WBC Count), Red cell morphology, and the two coagulation parameters, Thromboplastin time (=Prothrombin time) (PT) and Activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT).
CLINICAL CHEMISTRY PARAMETERS: Glucose, Urea, Creatinine, Uric acid, Bilirubin, total (BILl. T.), Cholesterol, total (CHOLEST. T.), Triglycerides (TRIGL.), Phospholipids (PHOS.LIPID), Aspartate aminotransferase (ASAT/GOT), Alanine aminotransferase (ALAT/GPT), Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), Creatine kinase (CK), Alkaline phosphatase (ALP), Gamma-glutamyltransferase (G-GT), Calcium, Phosphorus, Sodium, Potassium, Chloride, Total protein, Albumin, Globulin, and Albumin/Globulin ratio (A/G RATIO).

- GROSS PATHOLOGY: Yes
HISTOPATHOLOGY: Yes
NECROPSY was done after 4 weeks (October 24, 1991).
All animals were weighed and necropsied and descriptions of all macroscopic abnormalities were recorded. Prior to necropsy, the animals were fasted for approximately 18 hours, but water was provided. Necropsies were performed by experienced prosectors. All animals surviving to the end of the observation period and all moribund animals were anesthetized by intraperiton1eal injection of sodium pentobarbitone and killed by exsanguination. Samples of the following tissues and organs were collected from all animals at necropsy and fixed in phosphate buffered neutral 4% formaldehyde solution: Adrenals; Aorta; Bone (sternum, femur); Bone marrow (sternum, femur); Brain; Cecum; Colon; Duodenum; Epididymides; Esophagus; Eyes with optic nerve and Harderian gland; Mammary gland area; Femur including joint; Heart; Ileum; Jejunum; Kidneys; Larynx; Lacrimal gland, exorbital; Liver; Lung infused with formalin; Lymph nodes, mandibular, mesenteric; Nasal cavity; Ovaries; Pancreas; Pituitary gland; Prostate gland; Rectum; Salivary gland (mandibular, sublingual); Seminal vesicles; Sciatic nerve; Skeletal muscle; Skin; Spinal cord, (cervical, midthoracic, lumbar); Spleen; Stomach; Testes; Thymus; Thyroid including Parathyroid gland; Tongue; Trachea; Urinary bladder infused with formalin; Uterus; Vagina; and Gross lesions.
HISTOTECHNIQUE: All organ and tissue samples, as defined under Histopathology wene processed, embedded, cut at a thickness of 2-4 micrometers, and stained with hematoxylin and eosin.
HISTOPATHOLOGY: Slides of Adrenals, Heart, Kidneys, Liver, Spleen and Stomach collected at terminal sacrifice from the animals of the control and high-dose. groups were examined by a pathologist. The same applied to all Gross lesions and to all animals which died spontaneously. All abnormalities were described and included in the report. Due to a suspected toxicity in the liver and the adrenal glands, samples of these organs of all animals of the intermediate and low dose group were processed and microscopically evaluated. - Statistics:
- The following statistical methods were used to analyze the body weights, food consumption, organ weights, all ratios and clinical laboratory data:
Univariate one-way analysis of variance was used to assess the significance of intergroup differences. If the variables could be assumed to follow a normal distribution, the Dunnett test (many to one t-test) based on a pooled variance estimate was applied for the comparison between the treated groups and the control groups for each sex. The Steel-test (many-one rank test) was applied when the data could not be assumed to follow a normal distribution. The Fisher's exact test for 2x2 tables was applied to the overall spontaneous mortality data. Group means were calculated for continuous data and medians were calculated for discrete data (scores) in the summary tables. Individual values, means, standard deviations and statistics were round-off before printing. For example, test statistics were calculated on the basis of exact values for means and pooled variances and then rounded-off to two decimal places. Therefore, two groups may display the same printed means for a given parameter, yet display different test statistics values.

Results and discussion
Results of examinations
- Clinical signs:
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- Mortality: Female no. 25 (group control) died spontaneously on treatment day 4. The animal was treated with the test article only twice prior to its spontaeous death. No other premature death occurred. Clinical Signs: One out of five males of group 4 (1000 mg/kg) showed rales on treatment day 3 and one out of five females of control group 1 (0 mg/kg) showed sedation, dyspnea and ruffled fur on treatment day 3. In addition to this findings all treated animals of groups 1, 2, 3 and 4 (0-, 50-, 200- and 1000 mg/kg) showed slight diarrhea during most of the study period starting with day 6. The latter was considered to be related to the use of polyethylene glycol (PEG 400) as the vehicle.

ORGAN WEIGHTS, ORGAN TO BODY WEIGHTS and ORGAN TO BRAIN WEIGHT RATIOS: The relative adrenal weights (ratios to body and brain weights) of males of group 3 were significantly lower when compared to those of the controls. Females of group 2 (50 mg/kg) showed absolute heart weights and heart to brain weight ratios as well as kidney weights, kidney to brain weight ratios and ovaries to brain weight ratios significantly lower than those of controls. In female rats of group 3 (200 mg/kg) the terminal body weights and the absolute heart weights and heart to brain weight ratios were significantly lower whereas the absolute thyroid weights and their ratios were significantly higher than those of the controls. High-dose female rats of group 4 (1000 mg/kg) showed statistically significantly higher absolute and relative thyroid weights when compared to those of controls.
GROSS PATHOLOGY: Macroscopic findings were largely unremarkable and amongst those commonly recorded in this age and strain of rat. Exceptions to these was the following:
Liver: left lateral lobe: diaphragmatic hernia, d=8 mm (no. 5/ Group 1). During the necropsy the cecum of three males and four females of the control group (0 mg/kg), all animals of group 2 (50 mg/kg), four males and all five females of group 3 (200 mg/mg) and all animals of group 4 (1000 mg/kg} showed a liquid content and/or dilation.
HISTOPATHOLOGY:
Cecum: The cecum of all examined an;mals showed an edema of the submucosa of a minimal to a marked degree. Focal necrosis of cecal mucosa was detected in three animals (female no. 24 / Group 1: grade 2; male no. 10 / Group 2: hemorrhagic necrosis, grade 2; and male no. 12 / Group 3: grade 2).
Adrenal Glands: The incidence and the degree of single cell degeneration, characterized by pycnotic cells seemed to be increased in group 4. However, in comparison with all other animals of the treatment groups this finding was not confirmable.
Liver; There was no detectable accidental or traumatic reason for the dtaphragmatic hernia. The incidence and degree of single cell degeneration seemed to be increased in all treatment groups. However, in comparison with the animals of all other treatment groups, this finding was not confirmable.
Other findings recorded were within the normal range of background lesions which may be observed in this age and strain of rats.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Based upon the results obtained in this study, the "no-adverse-effect-level" of Di-(4 -Methylbenzoyl)-peroxid (INTEROX-PMBP) is 1000mg/kg body weight for male and female WISTAR rats when administered orally by gavage for a period of 28 days.
- Executive summary:
In this subacute 28-day oral toxicity study, Di-(4-Methylbenzoyl)-peroxid (INTEROX-PMBP) was administered daily by oral gavage to SPF-bred Wistar rats. The test article, prepared in PEG 400, was administered to 7-week old rats [(HanIbm: WIST (SPF)] of both sexes (five each) for 28 days at doses of 0 (vehicle only), 50, 200 and 1000 mg/kg body weight. While this GLP study by N. Hoff (1992) was done according to OECD 407 and EU B.7 Test Guidelines, a reliability rating of K2 was assigned due to minor deficiencies in the study report (non-inclusion of the CAS number and the Certificate of Analysis of the test substance).
A control group female (0 mg/kg) animal (No. 25) died spontaneously on treatment day 4. No other premature death occurred. Rales were observed on treatment day 3 in one Group 4 male 1000 mg/kg). Additionally, all treated animals of all groups (1 to 4) showed slight diarrhea for most of the study period. The latter was considered to be related to the use of polyethylene glycol (PEG 400) as the vehicle. There were no toxicologically or statistically significant effects on absolute or relative food consumption in the test article treated animals observed when the results were compared to those of the controls. There were no toxicologically or statistically significant effects on the body weights observed in the test article treated animals which were considered to be treatment related. The observed data reflect the normal pattern for this strain and age of rats used. No treatment related findings on ophthalmoscopy were observed. The assessment of hematological, clinical biochemical and urinalysis data indicated no changes of toxicological significance at termination of the treatment. No treatment-related effects on absolute or relative organ weights were observed in the animals of the test article treated groups 2 to 4, when the results were compared to those of the controls. The statistically significant differences observed were considered to be incidental and of no toxicological relevance. Thus, there was no evidence of any treatment-related macroscopic or microscopic findings.
Based upon the results obtained in this study, the "no-adverse-effect-level" of Di-(4 -Methylbenzoyl)-peroxid (INTEROX-PMBP) is1000mg/kg body weight for male and female rats when administered orally by gavage for a period of 28 days.
