Details on maternal toxic effects:
Maternal toxicity due to treatment with mmt was evident at the 9.0 mg/kg/day dosage level as an increase in matting and staining of the anogenital haircoat and a mean maternal weight loss early in the treatment period which was statistically significant in gestation day 9.

Details on embryotoxic / teratogenic effects:
A slight reduction in mean fetal body weights were seen. An increase in the incidence of malformations was noted at all of the mmt dosage levels, exclusively due to the presence of bent ribs when compared with the control group. Bent ribs are not uncommon finding in this strain of rats based on historical data, therefore this effect was not considered a malformation and when present in the exclusion of other malformations is not considered a teratogenic response.

Maternal observations
1. Appearance and Behavior
There were no biologically meaningful differences in appearance and behaviour attributable to treatment with mmt in the 2.0, 4.5 or 6.5 mg/kg/day dosage groups when compared to the control group. Survival in these three dosage groups and the control group was 100%. A subcutaneous mass in thoracic area was observed in one rat in the 4.5 mg/kg/day dosage group at cesarean section. Upon histological examination, this mass was found to be a mammary adenocarcinoma. This mass was not considered to be a treatment-related effect, as it was located only 14-days after the initiation of test article administration.
A slight increase in matting and staining of the anogenital haircoat was noted in the 9.0 mg/kg/day dosage group when compared to the control group. One rat in this dosage group died on gestation day 11. At necropsy, death was attributed to pneumonia.
There was no statistically significant differences in the incidence of maternal deaths or pregnant dams in any of the mmt treated groups when compared to the control groups.
2. Body Weights
A very slight reduction in mean maternal body weight gain was noted from days 12 through 20 of gestation in the 2.0 mg/kg/day dosage groups and from days 6 though 20 of gestation in the 4.5 mg/kg/day dosage group when compared to the control group. This resulted in a slight reduction in mean weight gain over the entire gestation period in these two treatment groups when compared to the control group. A moderate reduction in mean weight gain from days 6 through 9 of gestation in the 6.5 mg/kg/day dosage group and a mean weight loss during this interval, accompanied by a statistically significant reduction in mean maternal body weight on gestation day 9, in the 9.0 mg/kg/day dosage group were noted when compared to the control group. This resulted in moderate reduction in mean maternal body weight gain over the entire gestation period in both of these treatment groups when compared to the control group. With the exception of gestation day 9 in the 9.0 mg/kg/day dosage group, all other mean maternal body weights for the treatment groups were not statistically significant when compared to the control group.
There were no statistically significant or biologically meaningful differences in mean maternal liver weights in any of the mmt treated groups when compared to the control group.
3. Caesarean Section Observations
No statistically significant differences in the mean number of early resorptions, post-implantation loss or mean fetal crown-rump lengths were noted in any of the mmt treated groups when compared to the control group. There were no biologically meaningful differences in the mean number of viable fetuses, early resorptions, post-implantation loss, total implantations, corpora lutea or the fetal sex distribution, mean fetal crown-rump length or mean maternal liver weights in any of the treatment groups when compared to the control group.
A slight increase in the mean number of early resorptions and post-implantation loss, a corresponding slight decrease in the mean number of viable foetuses and also a slight decrease in the mean number of total implantations were noted in all of the mmt treated groups when compared to the control group. However, these differences were not considered to be treatment-related, as no dose-related patterns were evident. A slight reduction in mean fetal crown-rump length and a statistically significant decrease in mean fetal body weight were noted in the 6.5 mg/kg/day dosage group. The mean fetal crown-rump length in the 9.0 mg/kg/day dosage group, however, was equal to that in the control group. A slight decrease in mean fetal body weight was noted in all of the mmt treated groups when compared to the control group.
Fetal morphological observations
A slight, though not statistically significant, increase in the incidence of fetuses and litters with malformations in the 2.0, 4.5 and 6.5 mg/kg/day dosage groups, and a statistically significant increase in the 9.0 mg/kg/day dosage group were noted when compared to the control group. These increases were deemed to be due to the presence of bent ribs in the mmt treatement groups, which were not dose-dependent increases. No bent ribs were observed in the control group.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- mmt is not teratogenic at the tested doses, therefore the developmental NOAEL is established as 9.0 mg/kg/day while the NOAEL for maternal toxicity is established at 6.5 mg/kg/day.
- Executive summary:
In a developmental toxicity study performed similar to OECD 422, mmt was administered by oral gavage to 25 females Sprague-Dawley rats at doses of 2.0, 4.5, 6.5 and 9/0 mg/kg/day in corn oil from day 6 through data 15 of gestation.
Maternal toxicity due to treatment with mmt was evident in the 9.0 mg/kg/day dosage level as an increase in matting and staining of the anogenital haircoat and a mean maternal weight loss early in the treatment period which was statistically significant on gestation day 0. A slight reduction in mean fetal body weights and a slight to moderate reduction in mean maternal body weight over the entire gestation period were noted in all of the mmt treatment levels.
An increase in the incidence of malformations was noted at all of the mmt dosage levels. This was exclusively due to the presence of bent ribs at all dosage levels when compared to the control group, however no dose-dependent increase were observed. Bent ribs are not an uncommon finding in this strain of rats based on the historic control data in this laboratory. Therefore bent ribs were not thought to be a malformation in the usual sense and when present with the exclusion of other malformations, as demonstrated in this study, was not considered a teratogenic response. mmt is not teratogenic at the tested doses, therefore the developmental NOAEL is established as 9.0 mg/kg/day while the NOAEL for maternal toxicity is esablished at 6.5 mg/kg/day.
