- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12/12
Administration / exposure
- Route of administration:
- oral: feed
- Vehicle:
- unchanged (no vehicle)
- Details on oral exposure:
- PREPARATION OF DOSING SOLUTIONS:
test substance was added directly to the diet to achieve the target concentrations specified by the study design; the test diets were thoroughly mixed to ensure homogeneous distribution of the test substance throughout the diet.
DIET PREPARATION
- Rate of preparation of diet: weekly, except in two instances in which diets were prepared for 10 or 11 days, after stability was confirmed.
- Mixing appropriate amounts with: PMI® Nutrition International, LLC Certified Rodent LabDiet 5002®.
- Storage temperature of food: all diets were refrigerated until used.
- Analytical verification of doses or concentrations:
- yes
- Details on analytical verification of doses or concentrations:
- Duplicate samples (concentration verification and homogeneity (from top, middle bottom of the sample) of all dietary concentrations were collected at the initial diet preparation and analyzed to verify the concentration (average of homogeneity samples) and homogeneity of test substance in the diets. Near the middle and end of the study, samples were taken to verify concentration. Duplicate samples were taken from the lowest (300 ppm) and the highest (18,000 ppm) dietary concentration of the initial diet preparation and were analyzed to verify the stability of the test substance in the diets. The 300 ppm concentration was included in the initial diet preparation to establish the stability to cover the dietary concentrations of the present study (600 to 18,000 ppm) as well as the concurrent mouse study (300 to 7000 ppm).
The certificate of analysis (COA) included in the original finalized report listed a purity of 92.2%, which did not fully account for all the inorganic impurities associated with this sample. Due to follow-up analysis of the test substance the COA was revised for the purity 90.5% that accounts for the full impurity profile. This reduction in determined purity of 1.7% had minimal impact on the reported doses determined by chemical analyses and on the values utilized for risk assessments. Therefore, the reported dose values were not adjusted. - Duration of treatment / exposure:
- approximately 90 days (94 or 95 days in males and 96 or 97 days in females)
- Frequency of treatment:

- Details on study design:
- - Dose selection rationale:
The test substance is a metabolite of methyl 6-amino-5-chloro-2-(cyclopropyl)-4-pyrimidinecarboxylate. A previous 28-day study in rats was conducted with methyl 6-amino-5-chloro-2-(cyclopropyl)-4-pyrimidinecarboxylate at dietary concentrations of 600, 2000, 6000, and 20,000 ppm. No test substance-related effects occurred on ophthalmogical observations, clinical observations, clinical pathology parameters, food consumption, organ weights, gross morphological observations, or survival. A test substance-related decrease in body weight, weight gain, and food efficiency occurred in 20,000 ppm males and females. Males in the 20,000 ppm group had thyroid follicular cell hypertrophy and pancreatic acinar cell apoptosis. Females in the 20,000 ppm group had induction of hepatic ß-oxidation activity. Based on these findings, the dietary concentrations selected for the current 90-day study were 600, 2000, 6000, and 18,000 ppm.
- Rationale for selecting satellite groups: on test day 56, blood was collected from satellite animals for evaluation of test substance and/or metabolite concentration in plasma (separate report was not available).

Results and discussion
Results of examinations
- Clinical signs:
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- 600 ppm and 2000 ppm: one female of each dose group had abnormal gait. However, abnormal gait was not observed in these animals during any of the neurobehavioral evaluations. Since no dose response was evident and occurrence was limited to 1 animal/group, these observations were considered to be spurious and not treatment-related.
Other clinical signs observed throughout the study were typical for rats of this age and strain, and included hair loss, eye, ear, or nose discharge hyperactivity, high posture, protrusion in abdomen, absent teeth, clipped teeth, maloccluded teeth, ear twitch, corneal opacity and wound. These clinical signs were observed at low incidence and with no dose response.
(Please refer to table 10 in the "Any other information on results incl. tables" section.) - Mortality:
- mortality observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence):
- control and 6000 ppm: one control male rat and one female rat in the 6000 ppm group were accidentally killed during blood collection just prior to necropsy (non-treatment-related).
(Please refer to table 10 in the "Any other information on results incl. tables" section.) - Body weight and weight changes:
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- 18,000 ppm: significant decrease in mean body weights and body weight gains were observed in males and females. In males, mean body weight was 9% lower than that of controls on the final test day 91. Overall (test days 0-91) body weight gain in males was 15% lower (statistically significant) than that of controls. In females, mean body weight was 8% lower than that of controls on the final test day 91. Overall (test days 0-91) body weight gain in males was 18% lower (statistically significant) than that of controls.The effects were considered treatment-related and adverse.
6000 ppm: statistically significantly lower body weights and body weight gains compared to controls were observed in males and females over test days 21-28 and 14-21, respectively. (non-treatment-related and non-adverse)
600 ppm: statistically significantly lower body weights and body weight gains compared to controls were observed in females over test days 84-91 (non-treatment-related and non-adverse)..
Changes observed at 6000 and 600 ppm were considered spurious because they occurred only in one time interval and there was no dose response.
(Please refer to table 11 and 12 in the "Any other information on results incl. tables" section.) - Food consumption and compound intake (if feeding study):
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- 18,000 ppm: mean daily food consumption was statistically significantly lower in males over test day intervals 0-7, 21-28, and 42-49 and in females over test day interval 70-77. These sporadic changes were considered incidental and not treatment-related, because overall mean food consumption was not significantly different from control.
- Food efficiency:
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- 18,000 ppm: significant decrease in food efficiency was observed in males and females. The overall food efficiency (test days 0-91) in males and females of this dose group was 89% and 83% of control, respectively. In addition, statistically significantly lower mean food efficiency was noted in males over test day intervals 21-28, 70-77, and 77-84 and in females over test day interval 62-70. Since the changes in mean food efficiency were consistent with decreased body weight parameters, they were considered treatment-related and adverse.
6000 ppm: statistically significant reductions in food efficiency were noted in males over test days 21-28 (non-treatment-related and non-adverse).
600 ppm: statistically significant reductions in food efficiency were noted in females over test days 84-91 (non-treatment-related and non-adverse).
Since the findings at 6000 and 600 ppm occurred only over one weekly interval, they were considered spurious, non-treatment-related and non-adverse.
(Please refer to table 13 in the "Any other information on results incl. tables" section.) - Water consumption and compound intake (if drinking water study):
- not examined
- Ophthalmological findings:
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- 600 ppm: one male had a posterior lens opacity and one female had a lens opacity and dislocation, retinal degeneration and iritis. Since effects were observed only in single animals and no dose-response relationship was visible, the observations were not considered treatment-related and non-adverse.
- Haematological findings:
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- (Please refer to table 14 in the "Any other information on results incl. tables" section.)
- Clinical biochemistry findings:
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- 6000 ppm: triglyceride (69% of control), total protein and albumin (94% and 93% of control, respectively) and calcium (95% of control) were decreased in female rats. The observed statistically significant changes in group mean clinical chemistry parameters at test days 96-97 in females were considered to be non-treatment-related and non-adverse, because the change did not occur in a dose-related manner.
(Please refer to table 15 in the "Any other information on results incl. tables" section.) - Urinalysis findings:
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- 18,000 ppm: urine volume was decreased (52% of control) in male rats. However, urine volumes ranging from 2.0 to 14.6 mL in male rats were within the urine volume range of the male control group, 0.7 to 21.0 mL. In addition, there were no correlative clinical pathology or histopathology changes and a similar decrease in urine volume was not observed in females. Therefore, this change was considered non-treatment-related and non-adverse. Furthermore, pH was minimally decreased (91% of control) in female rats dosed. This change was considered non-adverse due to the minimal nature of the change and the lack of associated changes in other urinalysis or clinical chemistry parameters.
(Please refer to table 16 in the "Any other information on results incl. tables" section.) - Behaviour (functional findings):
- not examined
- Immunological findings:
- not examined
- Organ weight findings including organ / body weight ratios:
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- 18,000 ppm: in males, a small (9%) decrease in the mean final body weight, as compared to the control value, was associated with a similar decrease in the mean absolute liver, heart, spleen, and thymus weights. Some of these decreases were statistically significant. Since, there were no gross or microscopic pathology correlates observed and most mean relative (% body weight) organ weights were comparable to control values, the small decreases in mean absolute organ weights were interpreted to be a result of the decreased mean final body weight and not an indication of an organ-specific effect. There was a statistically significant decrease (12%) in the mean relative (% brain weight) liver weight in males, as compared to controls. This difference was also attributed to the decrease in final body weight and secondary to decrease in mean absolute liver weights.
(Please refer to table 17 in the "Any other information on results incl. tables" section.) - Gross pathological findings:
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- All gross observations were consistent with normal background lesions in rats of this age and strain and thus non-treatment-related and non-adverse.
(Please refer to table 18 in the "Any other information on results incl. tables" section.) - Neuropathological findings:
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- (Please refer to table 23 and 24 in the "Any other information on results incl. tables" section.)
- Histopathological findings: non-neoplastic:
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- All microscopic findings were consistent with normal background lesions in rats of this age and strain and thus non-treatment-related and non-adverse.
(Please refer to table 19 in the "Any other information on results incl. tables" section.) - Histopathological findings: neoplastic:
- no effects observed
- Other effects:
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- Neurobehavioral evaluation
Functional Observational Battery: There were no treatment-related or statistically significant effects/differences on forelimb or hindlimb grip strength, in footsplay and in the number of rearing movements in the open field arena in males and females of any dose group. (Please refer to table 20, 21 and 22 in the "Any other information on results incl. tables" section.)
600 and 6000 ppm: occasional occurrence of abnormal gait in either the home cage or open field were noted in one 600 ppm male and one 6000 ppm female. Since a dose-response relationship was not evident for either males or females, these incidents were considered to be spurious, non-treatment-related and non-adverse.
Motor acitivity: There were no treatment-related or statistically significant effects on duration of movement or number of movements for males or females of any dose group.
