- Battery of functions tested: reflex tests / grip strength / motor activity
IMMUNOLOGY: No - Oestrous cyclicity (parental animals):
- Vaginal smears of all females in the mating group were collected from day 1 to 14 of dosing. The stages of estrous cycle were determined with a light microscope after giemsa staining. The days from estrous to the next estrous were regarded as an estrous cycle length and the mean estrous cycle length was calculated. When the estrous was successive the first day was regarded as an estrous.
- Sperm parameters (parental animals):
- Parameters examined in male parental generations: Testes, epididymides, prostate (ventral and dorsolateral lobes), seminal vesicles (including coagulating gland)
- Litter observations:
- After finishing of delivery (postnatal day 0), number of males and females including stillborns, number of live pups and their total number were counted. Clinical observations including the external surface were carried out once a day until postnatal day 13. Males and females were counted for the number of live pups and the total number on postnatal day 4 and 13, and their body weights were measured on postnatal day 0, 4 and 13.
Anogenital distance (AGD) of each pup was measured on postnatal day 4. Each AGD was collected with the cube root of the body weight on the same day. The number of nipples/areolae in male pups was counted on postnatal day 13.
Thyroid was collected from pups on postnatal day 13 and fixed with 10% neutralized buffered formalin.
From these results, the value of each litter, the mean values and standard deviations of each dosing group were calculated as follows:
- Birth index: (Number of live pups at birth / Number of implantation sites) × 100
- Viability index at birth: (Number of live pups at birth / Number of pups at birth) × 100
- Sex ratio of pups at birth: Number of live males at birth / Number of live pups at birth
- Viability index on day 4 after birth: (Number of live pups on day 4 / Number of live pups at birth) × 100
- Sex ratio of pups on day 4 after birth: Number of live males on day 4 / Number of live pups on day 4. - Statistics:
- Data regarding body weights of parental animals, food consumption, grip strength, locomotor activity count, parameters of hematology and blood chemistry, urine volume, urine specific gravity, organ weights, body weights on necropsy, mean estrous cycle length, pairing days until copulation, gestation length, number of implantation sites, number of pups born, number of live pups, body weights of pups, AGD and number of nipples/areolae were analyzed by the Bartlett’s test for homogeneity of variance. If significant difference (p<0.05) was not noted, the values of the control group and each test item group were analyzed by the Dunnet’s test. If significant difference (p<0.05) was noted in the Bartlett test, the values of the control group and each test item group were analyzed by the nonparametric Dunnet’s test.
Abnormal estrous cyclicity, copulation index, conception index and delivery dam index were analyzed by the Fisher’s exact test between the control group and each test item group.
Indexes of delivery, birth, viability and sex ratio were examined by the Bartlett’s test. If significant difference (p<0.05) was not noted, the values of the control group and each test item group were analyzed by the Dunnet’s test. If significant difference (p<0.05) was noted, the values of the control group and each test item group were analyzed by the nonparametric Dunnet’s test.
Data regarding body weights and food consumption during the recovery period, and parameters of hematology and blood chemistry, urine volume, urine specific gravity, organ weights and body weights at necropsy day for the recovery group were analyzed by the F-test for variance ratio. If there were no significant differences at a significance level of 5%, the Student t-test was performed. If there were significant differences at a significance level of 5%, the Aspin-Welch t-test was performed. The frequencies of defecation and urination during the recovery period were analyzed by the Mann-Whitney U-test. - Reproductive indices:
- Each female was cohabited in the cage of a male in the same dose level, as a pair of male and female at night on the dosing day 15, and the females were returned to the original cage next morning. Cohabitation was continued until showing evidence of copulation or maximum of 14 days. When a vaginal plug or sperms in vaginal smear were confirmed it was considered to be an evidence of mating (day 0 of pregnancy).
When the dams delivered spontaneously, built a nest or milked their pups by 10:00, those were regarded as an evidence of delivery and the day was designated as delivery day (postnatal day 0). If the delivery finished after 10:00, the delivery day was regarded as a next day.
Delivered dams with implantation site of the uterus was regarded as a pregnant female. - Clinical signs:
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- In males, salivation was observed just after dosing in all test item groups, and some animals salivated just before dosing in the 125 mg/kg group. One animal showed loosening and loss of right upper incisor in the 125 mg/kg group from day 27.
In females, salivation was observed in all test item groups, and some animals salivated just before dosing in the 50 and 125 mg/kg groups. Restlessness was observed just after dosing in almost animals of the 125 mg/kg group.
Salivation was observed in all test item groups. This change was considered related to the taste or smell of the test item since the animals transiently salivated just after or just before dosing, and was considered to be no toxicologically relevance. Restlessness was considered to be related to the salivation since the restlessness was observed as the same time as the salivation. - Dermal irritation (if dermal study):
- not examined

- mortality observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence):
- One animal (animal no. 123) in the 20 mg/kg group died during delivery (administration day 39).
One animal (animal no. 126) in the 20 mg/kg group showed much food on tray, decreased spontaneous locomotion, incomplete eyelids opening, staining around the anus, emaciation and reddish tear from postpartum day 4 (administration day 42), and this animal was sacrificed on postpartum day 8 (administration day 46) as a moribund animal. - Body weight and weight changes:

- Description (incidence and severity):
- In histopathological examinations, accumulation of hyaline droplets in the proximal tubules of the kidney was observed in males of the 20, 50 and 125 mg/kg groups. This change was considered to be male rats specific and no toxicologically significant since relationship to α2u-globulin was confirmed. At the end of the recovery period, regeneration of the tubules of the kidney was observed in males of the 125 mg/kg group.
- Histopathological findings: neoplastic:
- not examined
- Other effects:

- Reproductive performance:
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- Slight shortage of group mean gestation length (22 days vs 22.7 days in the control group), was noted in the 125 mg/kg group, although it was statistically significant, this change was within historical control rage, and comparable to the individual dam in the control and other treated groups. Thus this finding was considered to be not toxicologically significant.

- Body weight and weight changes:
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- The relative higher body weights in the control group was noted due to the litter no. 104 (four pups alive), and driven the higher mean body weights of the control group from PND 0 till PND 13 (details seen table below). Body weights in the 125 mg/kg group were decreased in males at birth, females on postnatal day 4, males and females on postnatal day 13. The decreases in all treatment group including the control group were within our control ranges. Body weight gains of the 125 mg/kg group were relative lower than concurrent control values during the postnatal period, however given the relative higher litter size in the high dose group verse to control, the findings were considered not to be adverse. Although body weights were decreased in the 50 mg/kg group at birth, there were no dose-relationship and this change was considered to be a single occurrence.

“Acombined repeated dose toxicity study with the reproduction/developmental toxicity screening test” was performed to assessthe repeated-dose,reproductive and developmental toxicities ofSafranal Pin accordance with OECD Guideline for the Testing of Chemicals No. 422.
Male and female Crl:CD(SD) rats at 9 weeks of age were treated with the test item for 14 days and set on mating period for maximum of 14 days. Males and females were administrated until day 29 of dosing and 13 days after delivery, respectively. The dosage levels were set at 20, 50 and 125 mg/kg/day. Control animals were similarly dosed with olive oil.Recovery groups were set for the vehicle control and high dose groups.
The animals transiently salivated just after dosing or just before dosing in all test item groups. Restlessness was observed in females of the 125 mg/kg group.One female died in the 20 mg/kg group during delivery and other female showed moribund state after delivery, and these were considered to be no treatment-related.
In urinalysis, renal tubular epithelial cells were observed in male of the 50 and 125 mg/kg groups.
There were no abnormal changes in detailed clinical observations, sensorimotor function examinations, body weights, food consumption, hematology or blood chemistry.
In organ weights, relative weights of the kidneys were increased in males of the 125 mg/kg group.
In macroscopic examinations, bilateral apparent spotty pattern of the surface of the kidneys was observed in males of the 50 and 125 mg/kg groups
In histopathological examinations, accumulation of hyaline droplets in the proximal tubules of the kidney was observed in males of the 20, 50 and 125 mg/kg groups.This change was considered to be male rats specific and no toxicologically significant since relationship to α2u-globulin was confirmed.At the end of the recovery period, regeneration of the tubules of the kidney was observed in males of the 125 mg/kg group.
Body weights of pups were decreased in the 125 mg/kg group.The body weight gains were slightly decreased during the postnatal period but the changes were within our historical control ranges.
No adverse effects of the test item were noted in number of pups, the viability index, AGD or number of nipples/areolae of pups.
In conclusion, the No-Observed-Adverse-Effect Level (NOAEL) ofSafranal Punder the conditions tested was considered to be 125 mg/kg/day for repeated-dose toxicity, and the NOEL was 50 mg/kg/day and NOAEL was 125 mg/kg/day for reproduction and developmental toxicity.
