- Remarks:
- PEG 300
- Details on exposure:
- - Dosing formulations (test material / vehicle mixtures) were prepared fresh every 3 to 4 days.
- Concentration in vehicle: The concentration of the test material in vehicle varied between dose groups thus allowing constant dosage volume in terms of mL/kg bw/day. Concentrations were 15, 30, 100 mg/ml vehicle.

- The data on maternal body weight, body weight change, maternal food consumption, gravid uterus weight, number of corpora lutea, number of implantations, litter size, litter weight, male and female fetus number and fetal body weight were analyzed using ANOVA model, after testing for homogeneity for intra group variance using Levene’s test. When the intra group variances were heterogeneous, ANOVA was performed after suitable transformation of data. Dunnett’s pairwise comparison of the treated group means with the control group mean was performed if the group differences were found significant.
Incidence of pre-implantation loss, post implantation loss, number of early, late and total resorptions were analyzed using Kruskal Wallis.
Overall percentage of minor external, visceral and skeletal malformations, Sex ratio and number of dams with any resorptions were analyzed using 2 X 2 Contingency Table. - Indices:

All other maternal parameters (mean number of corpora lutea, implantations, early and late resorptions, pre and post-implantation loss, number of dams with resorptions) remained unaffected in all treatment groups.

Mean fetus weights (both male and female) were significantly lower at all dose levels when compared to the vehicle control group. These values were within the historical control range at 150 and 300 mg/kg bw/day, but below the historical control range at 1000 mg/kg bw/day. Thus, this effect was considered treatment-related at 1000 mg/kg bw/day. The significantly increased incidence of a 14th accessory rib in fetuses at 1000 mg/kg bw/day was considered as sign of fetotoxicity due to the significant reduction of fetal weights at the same dose level. Teratogenic effects were not observed.
All other litter parameters (mean litter size, number of live fetuses, total number of fetuses and sex ratio) were comparable to the vehicle control group at all dose levels.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Oral gavage administration of octane-1,2-diol to pregnant Wistar rats during gestation days 5 to 19 resulted in lower gravid uterine weight at doses of 300 and 1000 mg/kg bw/day. Fetuses at 1000 mg/kg bw/day had significantly lower body weights and a significantly increased incidence of a 14th accessory rib. These observations led to NOAELs of 150 mg/kg bw/day for maternal toxicity, of 300 mg/kg bw/day for developmental toxicity and of 1000 mg/kg bw/day for teratogenicity as no such potential was observed. As detailed in the discussion in the endpoint summary "Toxicity to reproduction" classification of octane-1,2-diol as reproductive toxicant is not considered appropriate.
