DIET PREPARATION
- Rate of preparation of diet (frequency): The required amount of N-(3 dimethylaminopropyl)methacrylamide was dissolved in the vehicle
(distilled water). The formulations were prepared daily (concentrations of 5, 15 and 40 mg/mL) and the concentrations were calculated and
expressed in terms of test item as supplied. - Analytical verification of doses or concentrations:
- yes
- Details on analytical verification of doses or concentrations:
- Final results for all levels were within the acceptability limits stated in RTC SOPs for concentration (95-105%) with the exception of Group 2. Analysis was repeated on a new preparation and results were within the acceptability limits.
In this study a 24 hour stability at room temperature was verified in the range from 5 to 40 mg/mL.
According to RTC SOPs, solutions are considered to be stable if concentration after the defined period of storage is still acceptable (95-105%). - Details on mating procedure:
- Females were paired one to one in the home cage of the male and left overnight. Vaginal smears were taken daily in the morning from the day after pairing until a positive identification of mating was made. The presence of sperm in the vaginal smear or by the presence of a copulation plug, was considered as Day0 of gestation.
- Duration of treatment / exposure:
- 6 - 19 day post coitum inclusive
- Frequency of treatment:
- once a day
- Duration of test:
- 14 d (dams were euthanized on gestation day 20)
- No. of animals per sex per dose:
- 24 mated female rats per group exposed.
- Control animals:
- yes, concurrent vehicle

Mortality and fate of females
No animals died during the study.
All females were found pregnant at necropsy.
The number of females with live foetuses on gestation Day 20 was 24 in each of the control, low, mid- and high dose groups.
Clinical signs
No signs of toxicological significance were noted during the study and no signs of reactions to treatment were observed during the dosing period.
Body weight and body weight gain
No differences in body weight were noted between control and treated groups.
At body weight gain, a statistically significant increase of approximately 21% was noted on Day 6 post coitum in females receiving 400 mg/kg/day and a statistically significant decrease of approximately 29 and 67% was noted on Day 9 post coitum in females receiving 150 and 400 mg/kg/day respectively, when compared to controls. These changes were considered of no toxicological relevance.
Food consumption
The statistically significant decrease of approximately 11%, detected on Day 9 post coitum in females receiving 400 mg/kg/day, was not considered of toxicological significance.
Terminal body weight, uterus weight and absolute weight gain
No significant differences in terminal body weight, gravid uterus weight and absolute weight gain were observed in treated groups, when compared to the control group.
Litter data and sex ratios
Litter data, mean foetal weight and sex ratios were not affected by treatment.
Macroscopic examination of females
No treatment-related changes were observed at post mortem examination in treated animals, when compared to the controls.
External examination of foetuses
The malformation agnatia was detected in one foetus of the mid-dose group, one dead foetus was detected in the high dose group and small foetuses were detected in control and treated groups.
A total of 10 small foetuses (< 2.7 g) were detected; six out of 349 in control females, one out of 367 in low dose females, one out of 344 in mid-dose females and two out of 348 in high dose females.
All these findings were considered incidental and not dose-related.
Skeletal examination of foetuses
Malformations were detected in control, low and mid-dose groups: no ossification of pubis in one foetus of the control group (associated with no ossification of ischium), one foetus of the low dose group and two foetuses of the mid-dose group. In addition in the mid-dose group malformation such as absence of one rib and absence of mandible was also detected in two foetuses of two different litters.
Considering that some of these alterations were observed in small foetuses (foetal weight < 2.7 g) and were not dose-related, they were considered incidental.
Visceral examination of foetuses
No findings that could be considered treatment-related were noted at visceral examination of the foetuses in any group.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- In a developmental toxicity study according to OECD 414 N-Dimethylaminopropyl methacrylamidewas administered to female rats dosed dissolved in distilled water by gavage at dose levels of 0, 50, 150 and 400 mg/kg bw/day from days 6 through 19 of gestation. The maternal NOAEL in this study was found to be 400 mg/kg bw/day and the developmental NOAEL was also found to be 400 mg/kg bw/day.
- Executive summary:
In a developmental toxicity study according to OECD 414 N-Dimethylaminopropyl methacrylamide was administered to female rats (Sprague-Dawley, (SD)) by oral gavage at dose levels of 0, 50, 150 and 400 mg/kg bw/day from days 6 through 19 of gestation.
The results showed that no animals died during the study. The number of females with live foetuses on gestation Day 20 was 24 in each of the control, low, mid- and high dose groups. No clinical signs of toxicological significance were noted during the study and no signs of reactions to treatment were observed during the dosing period. No differences of toxicological relevance were noted in body weight of females during the study, between control and treated groups. At body weight gain, a statistically significant increase of approximately 21% was noted on Day 6 post coitum in females receiving 400 mg/kg/day and a statistically significant decrease of approximatelly 29 and
67 % was noted on Day 9 post coitum in females receiving 150 and 400 mg/kg/day respectively, when compared to controls. These changes were considered of no toxicological relevance.
No relevant changes were detected in food consumption between treated and control females. No significant differences in terminal body weight, gravid uterus weight and absolute weight gain were observed in treated groups, when compared to the control group.
Litter data, mean foetal weight and sex ratios were not affected by treatment. No treatment-related changes were observed at post mortem examination in treated animals, when compared to the controls.
Agnatia was detected in one foetus of the mid-dose group, one dead foetus was detected in the high dose group and small foetuses were detected in control and treated groups. All these findings were considered incidental and not dose-related.
Malformations were detected in control, low and mid-dose groups. Considering that some of these alterations were observed in small foetuses (foetal weight < 2.7 g) and were not dose-related, they were considered incidental.
No findings that could be considered treatment-related were noted at visceral examination of the foetuses in any group.
The maternal NOAEL was therefore 400 mg/kg bw/day.
The developmental NOAEL was therefore 400 mg/kg bw/day.
None of the litter parameters recorded (implantations, live fetuses, percentage of male/female fetuses, fetal body weight) were affected.
There were no treatment-related malformations and there were no treatment-related variations that were considered to be adverse.
N- Dimethylaminopropyl methacrylamide folmulation analyses were 95% to 105% of the nominal concentration and were within the acceptable range.
The developmental toxicity study in the rat is classified acceptable and satisfies the guideline requirement for a developmental toxicity study (OPPTS 870.3700; OECD 414) in rats.
