Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- No Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) for reproductive and developmental toxicity was considered to be 100mg/kg/day, When male and female rats were treated with test chemical orally.
- Executive summary:
The combined repeated reprductive and developmental toxicity study of test chemical was performed on male and female Sprague-Dawley rats. The test chemical was dissolved in corn oil and administered via oral gavage route throughout the pre-mating period (15 days), during the mating and post-mating periods until final sacrifice for the males (at least 4 weeks in total)and throughout pre-mating (15 days) and mating period, during pregnancy and lactation, until day 4 post-partum inclusive (or until sacrifice for un-mated females) for the females. Three groups of 10 males and 10 females received the test chemical by oral gavage once a day at 10, 50 or 100 mg/kg/day while A group of 10 males and 10 females was given the vehicle (corn oil) under the same experimental conditions and acted as a control group.
Mortality and clinical signs were checked daily in all animals. Body weight and food consumption were recorded at designated intervals. Females were paired with males from the same dose-level group until mating occurred or 2 weeks had elapsed. Gestation was monitored. Females were allowed to deliver normally and to rear their progeny until day 5 post-partum. During the lactation period, the pups were examined daily for survival, external abnormalities and clinical signs. Pup body weights were recorded on days 1 and 4 post-partum. At final sacrifice of the parents, specified organs were weighed and a complete macroscopic post-mortem examination was performed. A microscopic examination was performed on a range of sampled tissue and organs for all males of the principal groups and females of the toxicity groups; a microscopic examination was not performed on the principal group females.There were no effects on mating performance or fertility. There were no intergroup differences for litter size, sex ratio or viability. There were no effects on offspring development. There were no clinically observable signs of toxicity in offspring from treated animals.Hence No Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) for reproductive and developmental toxicity was considered to be 100mg/kg/day, When male and female rats were treated with test chemical orally.
