Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
LOEL for maternal toxicity was considered to be 25 mg/kg/day while the dose-level of 125 mg/kg/day was considered to be the NOAEL for embryo-fetal toxicity when pregnant female Sprague Dawley rats were treated with p-Methylaminophenol sulphate orally.
Executive summary:

A reproductive and developmental toxicity study of p-Methylaminophenol sulphate was performed in female Sprague Dawley Crl CD (SD) IGS BR rats. The test material in a 0.5% suspension of carboxymethylcellulose were administered in dose concentration 0, 5, 25 or 125 mg/kg bw/day from day 6 through day 19 post-coitum by oral gavage. Animals were checked daily for clinical signs, and food consumption and body weight were recorded at designated intervals during pregnancy. On day 20 post-coitum, the dams were sacrificed and subjected to a macroscopic examination. The gravid uterus was weighed and the fetuses were removed by hysterectomy. The litter parameters like number of corpora lutea, implantation sites, early and late resorptions, dead and live foetuses were recorded. The fetuses were weighed, sexed and subjected to external, soft tissue or skeletal examinations. No treatment-related clinical signs and premature deaths were observed. Relevant maternal changes were only observed at 25 and 125 mg/kg/day where net body weight gain was slightly reduced when compared to controls. No relevant necropsy findings were noted. The litter parameters like number of corpora lutea, implantation sites, early and late resorptions, dead and live fetuses were not affected by treatment with the test item. Also, in fetuses there were no treatment-related malformations or variations in any groups at external, soft tissue or skeletal examinations. Therefore, LOEL for maternal toxicity was considered to be 25 mg/kg/day while the dose-level of 125 mg/kg/day was considered to be the NOAEL for embryo-fetal toxicity when pregnant female Sprague Dawley rats were treated with p-Methylaminophenol sulphate orally.
