On subsequent days, the next group in sequence was filled by the first confirmed mated female on that day and so on. Assignments were made until all groups were filled with confirmed mated females.

- Bartlett's Test was performed to determine if the dose groups had equal variance (1% level of significance). If equal, the testing was done using parametric methods, otherwise nonparametric techniques were used. Parametric procedures: a standard one way ANOVA (F distribution) was used. If significant differences among the means were indicated, Dunnett's Test was used to determine which treatment groups differed significantly from control. In addition to the ANOVA, a standard regression analysis for linear response in the dose groups was performed that also tested for linear lack of fit in the model. Nonparametric procedures: the test of equality of means was performed using the Kruskal-Wallis Test. If significant differences among the means were indicated, Dunn's Summed Rank Test was used to determine which treatment groups differed significantly from the control. In addition, Jonckheere's Test for monotonic trend in the dose response was performed. All tests were conducted at the 5% and 1% level of significance.
Fetal weight was analyzed by a standard nested analysis of covariance (fetuses nested within dams and dams nested within doses and litter size (both sexes combined)). If differences in groups were identified, the Least Significant Difference technique was used to determine which groups differed from the control group. Male and female fetuses were tested separately (the covariate was combined sexes in each analysis). Fetal malformation and variation incidence data were analyzed for statistical significance as follows: a standard chi-square analysis was performed to determine if the proportions of incidences differ between the groups tested. If any one cell had an expected value less than 5, this step was not reported. Next, each treatment group was compared to the control group using a 2x2 Fisher Exact Test. Thirdly, Armitage's test for linear trend in the dosage groups was performed. All tests were reported at the 5% or 1% level of significance. - Indices:

Results and discussion

- Maternal toxic effects:no effects
Details on maternal toxic effects:
Mortality:
No treatment-related mortality occurred. On GD 7, one female of the 500 mg/kg bw/d group was found dead. At necropsy, discolored and consolidated lungs were the only findings. The death of this female was probably a result of an accidental gavage error.
Clinical signs:
No treatment-related clinical signs were observed during the study period. The most frequently observation was soft stool, that occurred in treated and control animals and was therefore considered as a response to the vehicle rather than to the test substance. Other findings were scabs, little sign of stool, rales and alopecia in one or more groups. One female of the high dose group had a subcutis mass in the cervical area on GD 21. In summary, these clinical findings were considered to be incidental and unrelated to treatment with the test substance.
Body weight:
Treatment with the test substance had no statistically significant effect on mean body weight and mean body weight change at any interval.
Food consumption:
There were no statistically significant differences in mean food consumption between treated and control animals at any interval.
Post-mortem examinations:
There were no necropsy findings that were considered to be treatment-related. One high dose female had a subcutaneous mass in the cervical area and one control and one high dose female had dilated renal pelvis. In summary, these necropsy findings were considered to be incidental and unrelated to treatment.

Fetal body weight:
There were no statistically significant differences between treated and control mean fetal body weights of either sex (see Table 1).
Implantation data:
There were no statistically significant differences in the mean live fetuses, mean live male or female fetuses, mean resorptions, mean implantation sites, mean corpora lutea, mean total dead fetuses, mean fetuses per implantation sites, mean dead fetuses per implantation sites, mean resorptions per implantation sites, % pre-implantation loss, % post-implantation loss, mean malformed fetuses, mean fetuses with variations, or mean affected (resorptions + dead + malformed fetuses per litter) fetuses between treated and control groups. (see Table 1)
Fetal observations:
No biologically or statistically significant differences in total or individual variations or malformations were observed between the litters of test substance groups and control group (see Table 2). In the control, 100, 500 and 1000 mg/kg bw/d group, 5, 2, 6 and 1 fetuses, respectively, were stunted.
External observations regarded as malformations were found in one fetus of the 100 mg/kg bw/d group (agnathia, astomia, low set ears, anophthalmia) and single findings of cleft palate, syndactyly and kinked tail in three foetuses of separate litters of the 500 mg/kg bw/d group. External variations were not observed in any group.
Visceral observations regarded as malformations were limited to single occurrences of anophthalmia in one foetus each of the low and mid dose group, cleft palate and dilated brain ventricles in the 100 mg/kg bw/d group and two occurrences of folded retina in the control group. Visceral variations included a single or low incidence of dilated renal pelves, distended ureters and/or convoluted ureter.
Skeletal observations regarded as malformations were limited to multiple skull bones malformed in one foetus of the 100 mg/kg bw/d group, short pubis in one foetus of the 1000 mg/kg bw/d group and one less presacral vertebrae in one foetus of the control, two foetuses in the low dose and one foetus in the high dose groups. Skeletal variations were observed throughout the groups and consisted primarily of hypoplastic, misshapen or unossified stemebrae, hypoplastic skull bones or pubis and rudimentary or misshapen ribs.
In summary and without a clear pattern of response, all malformations were considered incidental and not to be treatment-related. Statistically significant differences in incidences of variations were limited to a decrease in hypoplastic skull bones of the mid dose group and a decrease in unossified stemebrae of the high dose group compared with controls. All variations were of no biological importance.
Skeletal ossification:
There were no statistically significant differences in mean ossification sites between treated and control groups.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- The test substance was not considered embryotoxic under the conditions of this study. Accordingly, the maternal and developmental NOAELs were established at 1000 mg/kg bw/d under the conditions of this study. The results indicate that test substance was not a selective developmental toxicant and was not embryotoxic or teratogenic under the conditions of this study.
