Concentration of samples was prepared by dissolving the required water for injection. The concentrations of preparation is protectedc from light at room temperature for 7 days to ensure that there were no stability issues. Preparation of 0.6% solution concentration is below the threshold level of determination, because we could not confirm the stability during the preparation for the 6% solution diluted with water for injection prepared in concentration.

Significant difference test, Bartlett's test and the homoscedasticity of Law, Law-way layout analysis of variance if the variance 1) and, if significant Dunnett method 2) or Scheff Method 3) were using. However, if the variance was not approved, the analysis method using centrally located position (Kruskal-Wallis test of 4)) and a significant if you use the ranking method or Dunnett Scheff Method was used.
2) χ ^ 2 test
Copulation rate [(number of established animal mating / number of live animals) × 100], fertility [(number of female fertility / Establishment of animal mating) × 100], the birth rate [(number of female newborns / number of female fertility) × 100] is, χ ^ 2 using the test.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

In an OECD 422 study in rats, the NOAEL for reproduction toxicity was determined to be 1000 mg/kg based on body weights.

Executive summary:

The combined repeated dose toxicity study with the reproductive/developmental toxicity screening test [MHW Japan, 1996] was conducted by OECD TG 422 in compliance with GLP. SD (Crj: CD) rats (12 animals/dose/sex) were administrated with this substance by gavage at doses of 0 (vehicle; water for injection), 30, 100, 300, and 1,000 mg/kg bw/day (12 animal/dose/sex). Males were dosed for total of 49 days beginning 14 days before mating, and females were dosed for total of 41 to 48 days starting from 14 days before mating to day 4 of lactation throughout the mating and pregnancy period.

No adverse effects were observed in reproductive parameters such as estrous cyclicity, copulation index, fertility index, number of females with live pups, length of gestation, number of implantation sites, gestation index. Further, no adverse effects were found in developmental parameters such as number of live pups born, sex ratio, birth index, number of dead pups on day 0 of lactation, number of pups born, delivery index, live birth index, number of live pups on day 4 of lactation, viability index, number of external anomalies, body weight of pups, and autopsy findings of neonates. External examination of offspring revealed no morphological abnormality. In conclusion, the NOAELs for the reproductive/developmental toxicity is considered to be 1000 mg/kg bw/day.
