Toxicity to reproduction
Administrative data
- Endpoint:
- two-generation reproductive toxicity
- Remarks:
- based on test type (migrated information)
- Type of information:
- migrated information: read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Study period:
- 19 February 1990 to 28 July 1990
- Reliability:
- 2 (reliable with restrictions)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- other: see 'Remark'
- Remarks:
- Although the study was conducted according to GLP and well documented methods, " Practical guide 10: How to avoid unnecessary testing on animals", Section 3.3.2 states it is important that the reliability indicator (Klimisch score) reflects the assumptions of similarity. Thus, a score of 1 (reliable without restrictions) should normally not be used for results derived from read-across.

Dose was 5 ml/kg at the following concentrations:
0 (control), 25, 100, 300/200 mg/kg/day - Details on mating procedure:
- Each female was housed with one untreated male of the same strain for a maximum of 16 days after the females had been dosed for 15 days. A check was made for seminal plugs in the pan and/or vaginal lavage from each female was examined daily for the presence of sperm.

Examinations
- Parental animals: Observations and examinations:
- Physical Signs: Females were observed for physical signs once daily from initiation to sacrifice and 1-5 hours postdosing.
Body Weights: Recorded on Days 1, 8, and 15 of the premating period, weekly during mating when required and on Days 0, 6,12,16,18,20,22,24 of gestation and on Days 0, 3,7,10,14,17, and 21 of lactation. Additional weights were taken on Days 22, 29, 36, 43, 51 and 55 of presumed gestation for females that did not deliver or mate.
Food consumption: Measured for all animals during the following intervals: Days 1 to 5 and 8 to 12 of the premating period, Days 1 to 5, 8 to 12, and 15 to 19 of gestation, and Days 1 to 5 and 8 to 12 of lactation.
Sacrifice and Reproductive Status: Nineteen to 20 females per group were selected and killed on Day 20 of gestation by CO2 asphyxiation. Approximately one-half of females from each four-day mating period were selected for cesarean-section and one half for delivery. There was a bias in selection of females to cesarean-section which had the lowest weight gains during the gestation interval and were presumed non-pregnant. This was done to assure that an adequate group size was maintained for delivery and subsequent testing of the F1 generation. The uterus of each female at cesarean-section was examined to determine reproductive status (pregnant or non-pregnant) and the number of corpora lutea. - Litter observations:

BODY WEIGHT: Yes

Any other information on results incl. tables
There were no treatment-related effects on reproductive performance, including mating or fertility in F0 female rats given 25 mg/kg/day of L-158,086 for 15 days prior to mating, during mating, during gestation and through Day 20 of lactation. In the 300/200 mg/kg/day dose there was a slight but significant (P=< 0.05) effect on live foetuses, number of implants, and corpora lutea/pregnant female in the caesarean section group of females and in the 100 mg/kg/day there was a slight but significant effect on number of corpora lutea/pregnant female. These changes were not observed in the natural delivery females in this same group. These changes are of uncertain relationship to treatment. All other indices of mating and fertility were comparable to controls.
There was no evidence of teratogenicity in any dose group in the
F1 or F2 generation. Developmental toxicity was
observed in all dose groups based on decreased F1 pup weights which were
dose and time-dependent in nature. Females had more
severe weight reductions than males. There were no other signs of
developmental toxicity in the 25 mg/kg/day group in the postweaning
period. In the 100 and 300/200 mg/kg/day group
treatment-related developmental toxicity was further evidenced by
increased pup mortality preweaning in both dose groups. Postweaning
F1 weights were also significantly effected in females (decreased
weight) and in males (increased weights) in the 25 (females only) 100
and 300/200 mg/kg/day group.
Developmental signs were also adversely affected in the 100 and 300/200 mg/kg/day groups. Auditory startle response was significantly delayed in females in these dose groups and vaginal canalization and preputial separation was delayed in the 300/200 mg/kg/day group. These delays are considered a result of body weight decreases and resultant generalized immaturity of the pups at the time of testing and are not considered a specific effect of L-158, 086 on these parameters. A treatment-related decrease in open field activity was observed in males in the 100 and 300/200 mg/kg/day groups. The reason for this decreased activity is uncertain but unlike the above-mentioned developmental signs these effects are not due to decreased body weights.
There were no treatment-related effects on the F1 generation as assessed by reproductive performance, external examination of pups at birth, ophthalmologic examination and histomorphologic examination of the testes and epididymides.
There were no treatment-related effects on F2 generation deaths, weights or external morphology at birth.
In this study 25 mg/kg/day was a no observed effect dose for all parameters except slight decreased pup weights (5.8-7.8%) during Days 14 to 21 of lactation and slight (4.3%) decrease in F1 body weight during 1-9 weeks postweaning.
The timing and nature of the effects on the F1 generation observed during this study suggest that the toxicity observed may be due to late gestation/lactation drug exposure. This is supported by the findings of a developmental toxicity study in which rats were administered up to 200 mg/kg/day L-158,086 from Days 6 to 17 of gestation which resulted in no indications of developmental toxicity. It is not clear if this developmental toxicity observed during lactation is due to a direct effect of the compound on the pups or is secondary to effects on the dam such as decreased milk production or poor maternal care. This issue of possible postnatal toxicity due to late gestation/lactation exposure will be addressed in the on-going rat late gestation lactation study of L-158, 086.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Based on the results of this study with losartan potassium, the Maternal NOEL= 25 mg/kg/day. The F1 and F2 NOAEL is considered to be 25 mg/kg/day based on slight decreased pup weights (5.8-7.8%) during Days 14 to 21 of lactation and slight (4.3%) decrease in F1 body weight during 1-9 weeks postweaning. These results alos apply to the read-across substance losartan free acid.
