- GROSS PATHOLOGY: Yes
Sacrifice:
After 13 weeks of treatment: 80 animals (main study)
After 4 weeks of recovery: 20 animals (recovery)
As the total number of animals exceeds the number that can be sacrificed in one day, the necropsies were carried out on three consecutive days. As far as possible, the same number of animals of each group and sex was sacrificed each day. The animals continued receiving the test item or vehicle until the day before sacrifice.
The animals surviving to the end of the observation period were deprived of food and deeply anesthetized with sodium pentobarbital administered intraperitoneally and killed by exsanguination.
A full necropsy was performed on all main study and recovery animals. The necropsy included the examination of the external surface of the body, all orifices, cranial, thoracic and abdominal cavities and the observation of the organs both in situ and after evisceration. Descriptions of all macroscopic abnormalities were recorded.
Samples of tissues and organs were collected and weighed (see list in Annex 5) from all animals at necropsy and fixed, unless otherwise indicated, in neutral phosphate-buffered 4% formaldehyde solution (10% formalin) or the correspond fixative. Animal identification (such as ear tattoo) was retained for identification purposes.
HISTOPATHOLOGY: Yes
All organ and tissue samples were examined by the study pathologist (see Annex 5) processed, embedded and cut at a nominal thickness of 2-4 micrometers and stained with hematoxylin and eosin.
The bone marrow smears were stained using the May Grünwald-Giemsa Method and kept at the test facility for possible further investigation. - Other examinations:
- Specialist observations:
-Ophthalmoscopic examination: Observations were performed once at acclimatization or pretest and in treatment week 13 (Groups 1 and 4).
Pupils were dilated by instillation of ®Colircusí Tropicamida eye drops (batch numbers: 5KFP1B, 5LCK1D and 6FSF1B expiry dates: September 2018, November 2018 and January 2019, respectively).
Observation areas included: cornea, lens, conjunctiva, sclera, iris and fundus
-FOB (functional observational battery): In week 13 of treatment: sensory reactivity to stimuli of different types was measured for all rats (main study and recovery). Relevant parameters form a modified Irwin screen test (blink, pinna, iridic light reflex, push-off (hind legs), pain response, startle/hearing and righting reflex).
Observations were based on procedures used for the detailed weekly observations. Any abnormal findings were recorded and rated in severity.
In week 4 of recovery: sensory reactivity was not recorded in all recovery animals, as findings recorded during week 13 were considered not to be treatment related.
-Grip strength: In week 13 of treatment: hind- and forelimb grip strength were measured with a push-pull strain gauge in the main study.
-Locomotor activity: In week 13 of treatment: was measured quantitatively (beam counts, number of light/shadow (changes)) in main and recovery animals. Decreased or increased activity was recorded. Activity was measured with an AMS from Medical Instruments GmbH (FMI) and DeMeTec-Ams version 2.0 GmbH. Activity of the animals was recorded in 10-minute intervals over a 60-minute period with fluorescent light. These data and the total activity over 60 minutes were reported.
In week 4 of recovery: all recovery animals were measured in order to discard any possible treatment-related effect observed during week 13. - Statistics:
- All statistical analyses were carried out separately for males and females using the individual animal as the basic experimental unit.
The following data types were analyzed at each time point separately:
Food and water consumptions
Body weight
FOB: grip strength and locomotor activity
Hematology and Coagulation
Blood chemistry
Urinalysis
Macropathology
Organ weights, absolute and adjusted to body weight values
The following comparisons were performed:
Group 1 vs 2, 3 and 4
A parametric analysis was performed if Bartlett's test for variance homogeneity was not significant at the 1% level. The F1 approximate test was applied. If the F1 approximate test was significant, suggesting that the dose response was not monotone, Dunnett's test (Dunnett 1955, 1964) was performed instead.
A non-parametric analysis was performed if Bartlett's test was still significant at the 1% level following both logarithmic and square-root transformations
For clinical pathology data, if 75% of the data (across all groups) were the same value, for example c, Fisher’s exact tests (Fisher, 1973) were performed. Treatment groups were compared using pairwise comparisons of each dose group against the control
For organ weight data, analysis of covariance was performed using terminal body weight as covariate (Angervall and Carlström, 1963), unless non-parametric methods were applied. The treatment comparisons were made on adjusted group means in order to allow for differences in body weight which might influence the organ weights.
Significant differences between the groups compared were expressed at the 5% (p ≤ 0.05) or 1% (p ≤ 0.01) level.
No statistical analysis was done on data obtained in the food / water consumption or during recovery period given the small sample size.

At the end of treatment period, the following statistically significant differences with respect to the Control group (Group 1) were recorded:
I. In males from Group 4, higher triglyceride and potassium and lower phosphorus values.
II. In females from Groups 3 and 4, higher glucose and urea values.
III. In females from Group 2, higher protein and albumin values.
However, these differences were devoid of any toxicological significance and were attributed to the normal biological variability. - Urinalysis findings:

- Description (incidence and severity):
- No noteworthy changes were recorded in the urinalysis.
Some minor variations among groups, such as a statistically significant higher pH in the females from Groups 3 and 4 with respect to Group 1 were recorded after 13 weeks of treatment. However, these differences were devoid of any toxicological significance - Behaviour (functional findings):
- no effects observed
- Immunological findings:
- not examined
- Organ weight findings including organ / body weight ratios:
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- There were no noteworthy differences from Group 1 for organ weights that were considered of toxicological relevance.
A slightly higher statistically significant increase in absolute (about 10%) and adjusted liver weight was recorded in males from Group 4 treated at 350 mg/kg/day with respect to the Control group (Group 1). - Gross pathological findings:

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- The study was performed according to OECD Guideline with minor deviations that did not compromising the integrity of the study. A NOAEL was established to 350 mg/kg bw/day for systemic and local effects for both sexes.
- Executive summary:
In this OECD Guideline 408 study Wistar rats (10 animals per sex/ dose level) were dosed by gavage during 90 days at levels of 0, 30, 100 and 350 mg/kg/day. No unscheduled deaths occurred, and there were no toxicological findings in relation to clinical observation or pathological findings. Salivation at the dose level of 350 mg/kg/day was considered as a test item palatability response and only slight differences in clinical laboratory investigations and some slight changes in organ weights at the high dose level were noted. Under the conditions of this study the dose of 350 mg/kg/day is to be considered as a NOAEL both in relation to systemic effects as well as local effects.
It is to be noted that 350 mg/kg bw/day was selected as the highest dose level for the study as inflammatory infiltrates in submucosa and forestomach ulcerations was observed at dose levels of 300 mg/kg bw/day and 800 mg/kg bw/day in a dose range finding study for an oral OECD 422 study. Thus, for longer term exposure an adaptation to the gastric irritational effects seems to occur as such effects were not observed in this 90D study.
