Administrative data
- Endpoint:
- developmental toxicity
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- supporting study
- Study period:
- 1975
- Reliability:
- 4 (not assignable)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- other: see 'Remark'
- Remarks:
- Study was performed before GLP principles were in place. Several study limitations compared to OECD 414: no analytical verification of doses performed, limited monitoring of health parameters of the parents; rats not weighed during study, only at sacrifice; organ weight of parents and/or offspring was not included; only two dose levels included (instead of≥3); sacrifice for teratological examination at day 13 (10/20 rats) or day 20 (10/20 rats). Test substance (Aerosol A-268) is a formulation with appr. 47.5% disodium 4-isodecyl sulfosuccinate, thus it cannot be excluded that the effects seen are related to formulation toxicity.

- Details on mating procedure:
- When the animals (P1 or F1) were sexually mature (appr. 15 weeks), one male was placed with one female in mating cages. The males within each group were rotated every sixth day and removed on the 19th day. The females were allowed 20 days rest between weaning and the next breeding.

- Duration of test:
- - P generation was exposed from weaning and mated at 15 weeks. They were allowed to have three litters: First litter was sacrificed at weaning and from the second litter parental animals of the F1 generation were selected. The fetuses from the third litter were used to investigate teratological effects.

Results and discussion
Results: maternal animals
Maternal developmental toxicity
- Details on maternal toxic effects:
- Maternal toxic effects:no effects
Details on maternal toxic effects:
No substance-related mortality was found and no substance-related histopathological effects were seen.
The fertility index was decreased for the highest concentration group calculated for both litters of the P generation (95%, 95%, 70% and 95%, 90% and 80% for the control group and 1% and 2% diet concentration for the first and second litter resp.). For the first litter of the second generation the fertility index of the three groups did not differ (all 95%).

Results (fetuses)
- Details on embryotoxic / teratogenic effects:
- Embryotoxic / teratogenic effects:yes
Details on embryotoxic / teratogenic effects:
Both at day 13 and day 20 of pregnancy the average number of viable embryos per litter was decreased in a concentration-dependent manner for embryos of the P and the F1 generation. The number of early and/or late resorptions did not differ between the exposed and non-exposed groups for both generations. The number of abnormal fetuses was not increased in the rats of the P and the F generation of exposed rats at 20 days of pregnancy.
VIABILITY (OFFSPRING)
A substance-related decrease in the average number of pups/ litter was observed in all litters (11.8, 10.3, and 7.7 (F1a generation); 10.9, 10, 8.2 (F1b-generation); 11.1, 10.3 and 5.4 (F2a generation) for resp. 0%, 1% and 4% dose groups. The viability of life-born pups until weaning was decreased only at the highest dose for the first litters of both generation (viability index for resp. 0%, 1% and 4%: 99.1, 98.9 and 84.7 (F1a); 98.1, 100.0 and 98.5 (F1b); 98.1, 98.9 and 82.9 (F2a). The lactation index was decreased for the first litter of the P generation (96.5, 93.4, 69.1 for control, 1% and 4% groups). The second litter of the P generation did not show influence of the test substance (resp. 85.2, 94, 97.5 for control, 1% and 4% groups). However, also the first litter of the second generation showed an increased pup loss during the first three weeks at the highest dose level as shown by a lactation index of 96.5, 99.3, 86.1 for the control, 1% and 4% group.
BODY WEIGHT (OFFSPRING)
The average weaning weight of pups decreased in a dose-related fashion for both male and female pups. This effect was seen in the first and second litter of the P generation, and also in the first litter of the F1 generation (male pups: -17% and -58% (F1a-pups), -13% and -41% (F1b-pups) and -16% and -61% (F2a-pups) for resp. 1% and 4% dose groups compared to control group; female pups: -11% and -54% (F1a-pups), -20% and -60% (F1b-pups) and -17% and -60% (F2a-pups) for resp. 1% and 4% dose groups compared to control group).
SEXUAL MATURATION (OFFSPRING)
The fertility indices of the F1 generation were not affected by the test substance (95% for control and both dose groups).

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Based on the results of a reproduction/ teratology study with rats, an LOAEL of 1% in feed for reproduction and development of A-268 was found in absence of systemic toxicity of the parents. At the LOAEL, a decreased number of viable embryos at day 13 and 20 of pregnancy was found, corresponding to dose-related increase of number of implantation sites. Furthermore, pups showed reduced weight (>10%) at weaning, and a dose-related increase of mortality of pups between day 4 and weaning was seen at 1% and higher. 1% corresponds to appr. 500 mg solids/kg bw/day exposure of the mother. Test substance (AEROSOL® A-268) is a formulation with appr. 47.5% disodium 4-isodecyl sulfosuccinate, exact composition is unclear. Based on the available data, the LOAEL of disodium 4-isodecyl sulfosuccinate is estimated to be 475 mg/ kg bw/ day.
- Executive summary:
A multi-generation study was performed similar to OECD 414 and 416. Male and female rats (20/sex) were exposed to A-268 via feed at 0%, 1% or 4% from weaning until reproductive age. Rats were mated several times: first litter was sacrificed at weaning, the second litter was allowed to mature and the rats were sacrificed at day 13 (10/20) or day 20 (10/20) of the third pregnancy. The first litter of the F1 generation was sacrificed at weaning, F1 rats were sacrificed at day 13 and 20 of the second pregnancy (10 rats/ timepoint). No substance-related mortality occurred in the parental animals of P and F1 generation, no substance-related histopathology was found. The fertility index was decreased for the highest concentration group calculated for both litters of the P generation, but not for the first litter of the second generation. The number of viable fetuses (average/ litter) was decreased in a dose-related manner for all litters at both concentrations. This corresponds to a dose-related decrease in the number of implantation sites in both exposed groups seen in rats sacrificed at day 13 of pregnancy. No substance-related anomalies were found in skeletal or soft tissue of foetuses at day 20 of pregnancy. The viability of the pups until weaning was decreased in the first litters of the P and F1 generation at the highest dose only. The average weaning weight of pups was decreased (at least with 10%) at both dose levels in all litters. Based on these results, an LOAEL for development of 1% A-268 was established (corresponding to a dose level of appr. 500 mg solids/kg bw/ day) in absence of systemic toxicity of the parents.
Based on these results, an LOAEL for reproduction and development of 1% A-268 was established (corresponding to a dose level of appr. 500 mg/kg bw/ day) in absence of systemic toxicity of the parents. Based on the available data, the LOAEL of disodium 4-isodecyl sulfosuccinate is estimated to be 475 mg/ kg bw/ day.
