However in the recovery group, cell infiltration in mucosa was observed in cecum, colon and rectum. In the liver, hypertrophy of perilobular hepatocytes was observed. other findingsHematologyMales treated with 600 mg/kg/day showed a slight decrease in platelets. Similar effects were observed during the recovery period.An increased level of fibrinogen was also seen in the same animals, i.e. the 600 mg/kg/day-treated males and males from the recovery period. Males in recovery period also showed decreased levels of lymphocyte and eosinophils while the level of neutrophils and monocytes were increased.Females treated with 600 mg/kg/day showed a slight increase in RBC and a slight decrease in platelets. These effects were not observed during the recovery period.In addition, a decreased level of fibrinogen was also seen in the same animals, i.e. the 600 mg/kg/day-treated females. Females in recovery period showed decreased levels of lymphocytes and increased levels of monocytes.
Clinical chemistry: When treated with 600 mg/kg/day, males showed a high value in AST and a low value in blood urea nitrogen, while females showed high values in AST and LDH and low values in blood urea nitrogen and creatinine. During treatment high values of calcium was also observed in these females, however, the high levels of calcium was not detected after the recovery period.

- Executive summary:
Combined Repeated Dose Toxicity Study with the Reproduction/ Developmental Toxicity Screening Test was performed for the test chemical to evaluate its toxicity potential .The male and female Crl:CD (SD)rats were treated with test chemical in dose concentrations of 0, 60, 180, 600 mg/kg/day, Recovery 0, 600 mg/kg/day (R600) in Water for injection by oral gavage route for 42 days in male and 53 days (from 14 days before mating to day 4 of lactation) in female.12 animals /sex / dose group were used in test group and 5 animals /sex / dose in the recovery group. All the animals were observed for clinical signs, toxicity and body weight and food consumption. The male sacrificed on day 43 while female sacrificed on day 5 of lactation. Organ weight, gross pathological examination, histopathlogical examination, haematological examination was performed. Reproductive parameter like to the copulation index, gestation length, delivery conditions, nursing conditions, fertility index, and number of corpora lutea, implantation rate, or gestation index were noted. Deaths occurred in 1 male and 1 pregnant female in the 600 mg/kg group.In 1 male (600 mg/kg group ,dead animal)Fracture of incisor, soft stool and decrease in the amount of feces was observed. While in 1 female Staining of lower abdominal fur, staggering gait ((600 mg/kg group ,dead animal).In the 600 mg/kg group, males showed suppressed body weight gain and females showed tendencies toward high values in body weight and food consumption during the administration period. A high value in food consumption was also observed in females in the 180 mg/kg group. Males in the 600 mg/kg group also showed a low value in body weight during the recovery period. However, since the body weight gain in this group during the recovery period was comparable to that of the control group, they were thought to have recovery.In blood chemistry examination, males in the 600 mg/kg group showed a high value in AST and a low value in blood urea nitrogen and females showed high values in AST and LDH and low values in blood urea nitrogen and creatinine. The females in the 600 mg/kg group showed a high value in calcium as well. These changes were not observed after the end of the recovery period showing reversibility of the changes.Some males in the 600 mg/kg group showed red urine sporadically and lightbrown urine was observed at urinalysis, but it was considered as a transient change.Macroscopically, dilatation in lumina of the cecum was observed. Histopathologically, diffuse hyperplasia in mucosa in the cecum, which was thought to be related to the macroscopic dilatation in lumina of the cecum, was observed. In the rectum, cell debris in crypt was observed in females. In the recovery group, the above changes were no longer observed and thus recovery from these changes was indicated In the recovery group, cell infiltration in mucosa was observed in the cecum, colon and rectum. In the liver, hypertrophy of perilobular hepatocytes was observed. In parent animals in the 60 and 180 mg/kg groups, there were no test chemical-related changes in the number of days until copulation, copulation index, insemination index or fertility index. There were no test chemical-related changes in the delivery index, length of gestation period, number ofcorpora lutea, number of implantation sites, implantation index, number of live born pups or sex ratio, and there were no test chemical-related changes in parturition condition or lactation observations. In the 600 mg/kg group, the number of females that showed abnormalities in estrouscycle tended to be high, the number of days until copulation tended to be low, copulation index, insemination index or fertility index tended to be low values, a high value in stillborn index, and low values in viability of pups (day 0 and day 4 of lactation) .In the examination of new born pups, there were no test article-related changes in external observation or necropsy on day 4 after birth.In the 600 mg/kg group, low values in the body weight of males and females at the time of birth and on day 4 after birth, and male and female pups showed a low value in the body weight gain during the lactation period. Hence, the No Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) was considered to be 180mg/kg/day, on the bases of reproductive parameter and developmental effects.When male and femalerats were treated with test material orally.
