- PREPARATION OF DOSING SOLUTIONS:
The test item was dissolved in distilled water in concentrations of 10 mg/mL, 30 mg/mL and 75 mg/mL. The pH of dosing solutions were adjusted to pH=7.0 with 10 M NaOH (solid NaOH: Batch No.: KBM 5080902, Expiry date: November 2009) during the first three weeks treatment. The results of the preliminary study (two days treatment) regarding the pH influence on digestive system were not supported by the observations after two weeks treatment therefore pH was not adjusted after three weeks treatment. Formulations were prepared daily except weekends. Dosing solutions were stable for at least 24 hours at room temperature and 4 days refrigerated. The stock solution was stable for at least 10 days at 2 to 8°C. Homogeneity of test item in this vehicle was analytically proven. Analytical control of dosing solutions was performed five times during the treatment period on Days 0, 56, 77, 99, and 131.

- Details on study design:
- - Dose selection rationale: The doses were chosen on the basis of the results of previous rodent studies and a preliminary toxicity study with the test item in rats. A group of male animals was treated at 1000 mg/kg bw/day dose for about 2 weeks before mating. During this period, a decision was made to eliminate this dose level from main part of the study before the female treatment has been started because of deaths of several male rats (9/24) treated with 1000 mg/kg bw/day.

number and sex of pups, stillbirths, live births, postnatal mortality, presence of gross anomalies, weight gain, physical or behavioural abnormalities, development
GROSS EXAMINATION OF DEAD PUPS:
yes, for external and internal abnormalities; possible cause of death was determined for pups born or found dead. - Postmortem examinations (parental animals):

The statistical evaluation of appropriate data was done SPSS PC+4.0. The homogeneity of variance between groups was checked by Bartlett's homogeneity of variance test. Where no significant heterogeneity was detected a one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) is carried out. If the obtained result was significant Duncan Multiple Range test was used to access the significance of inter-group differences. At significant result at Bartlett's test the Kruskal-Wallis analysis of variance was used and the inter-group comparisons was performed using Mann- Whitney U-test. The Chi² test was performed if feasible. - Reproductive indices:

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- The substance induced an increase in the urine excretion (polyuria) at 750 mg/kg/day dose level on parental generation of CRL:(WI)BR rats during the course of a one generation reproduction toxicity study.
Reproductive performance of males and females were unaffected by the treatment.
The mortality of pups was a slightly higher at 750 mg/kg bw/day, probably as a consequence of maternal toxicity (polyuria). There was no effect on postnatal development of viable pups.
NOEL for males: 300 mg/kg bw/day
NOEL for females: 300 mg/kg bw/day
NOEL for reproductive performance of the males: 750 mg/kg bw/day
NOEL for reproductive performance of the females: 750 mg/kg bw/day
NOEL for offspring: 300 mg/kg bw/day - Executive summary:
The aim of the one-generation reproduction toxicity study was to provide general information concerning the effect of the test item on the male and female reproductive performance, such as gonadal function, estrous cycle, mating behavior, conception, parturition, gestation and lactation (P generation) and on the neonatal morbidity, mortality, growth and development of the offspring (F1 generation) following oral (by gavage) administration.
CRL:(WI)BR rats (n=24 males/group and n=25 females/group) were involved in the study in a control and at three dose levels: 100 mg/kg/day, 300 mg/kg/day and 750 mg/kg/day. Treatment was carried out orally once a day in concentrations of 10 mg/ml, 30 mg/ml and 75 mg/ml corresponding to 10 ml/kg body weight volume. All animals of the P generation were treated prior to mating (male animals for 81 days, females for 27 days) and throughout mating. For females, treatment was continued though the gestation and lactation periods up to the necropsy. Observations included mortality, clinical symptoms, body weight, food consumption, estrous cycle, mating, and delivery process.
The dams of P generation were allowed to litter, and rear their young up to termination on day 21-23 postpartum. Developmental tests were evaluated on litters (surface righting reflex, suckling, pinna detachment and eye opening). All animals were subjected to gross pathology one day after the last treatment and offspring were sacrificed. Histopathology examination was performed on reproductive organs in the control and high dose groups and on gross lesions in the low and middle dose groups.
There were no test item related effect on the general state and behavior of animals, but an increased urine excretion and water consumption related to the test item was found at 750 mg/kg bw/day group (male and female animals) from day 2 until the termination of the treatment.
The body weight, body weight gain of males and females were unaffected at the examined dose levels during the pre-mating period. There was no effect on body weight, body weight gain of dams during gestation and lactation period at the examined dose levels. The mean daily food consumption was higher than the control at 750 mg/kg bw/day dose in male animals and in female animals during the pre-mating and gestation periods.
No test item influence on the estrous was found.
There were no test item related alterations in the delivery data of dams when compared with the control value.
Reproductive performance of males and females were unaffected by treatment with test item.
Gross pathology revealed no alterations due to the effect of test item in P generation. No histological alterations related to the test item effect were found. In the male animals the investigated organs of reproductive system (testes, epididymides, seminal vesicles, prostate, coagulating gland) were histologically normal. In dams, the ovaries had a normal structure characteristic of the species, age and phase of the active sexual cycle. The uterus, cervix, and vagina had a normal structure in accordance with the phase of sexual cycle in the investigated animals.
Mortality of pups was higher at 750 mg/kg bw/day group (9%vs.3%of control value).
Body weight, body weight gain and sex ratio of pups were not influenced by treatment with test item.
There was no effect on postnatal development of pups.
The substance induced an increase in the urine excretion (polyuria) at 750 mg/kg/day dose level on parental generation of CRL:(WI)BR rats during the course of a one generation reproduction toxicity study.
Reproductive performance of males and females were unaffected by the treatment.
The mortality of pups was a slightly higher at 750 mg/kg bw/day, probably as a consequence of maternal toxicity (polyuria). There was no effect on postnatal development of viable pups.
