Mortality: Throughout the study, all animals were checked early in each working day and again in the afternoon. At weekends and Public Holidays a similar procedure was followed except that the final check was carried out at approximately mid-day.
Pre- and post-dose observations: All observations were recorded for individual animals. Examination of individual animals for signs of reaction to treatment was carried out daily prior to dosing, immediately after and approximately 1 and 2 hours after dosing.
Clinical signs and neurotoxicity assessment:
Once before commencement of treatment and once a week thereafter each animal was subjected to a detailed clinical examination, which included an evaluation of neurotoxicity. Animals were examined in an open arena for a period of a minimum of three minutes. Observed parameters: Removal (from cage), handling reactivity, lachrymation, palpebral closure, salivation, piloerection, rearing, spasms, myoclonia, mobility impairment, arousal (animal activity), vocalisation, stereotypies, unusual respiratory pattern, bizarre behaviour, urination, defecation, tremors, gait
In addition, from Day 6 of treatment, at each change of litter tray paper, an examination of the litter tray was performed and any signs were recorded. Once during week 4 of treatment and once during week 2 of recovery, an evaluation of sensory reactivity to stimuli of different modalities (e.g. auditory, visual and proprioceptive stimuli) and assessment of grip strength were also performed.

NEUROBEHAVIOURAL EXAMINATION: Yes (see: Detailed clinical observations) - Sacrifice and pathology:
- GROSS PATHOLOGY: Yes
HISTOPATHOLOGY: Yes
Necropsy
The clinical history of the animal was studied and a detailed post mortem examination was conducted (including examination of the external surface and orifices). Changes were noted, the requisite organs weighed and the required tissue samples preserved in fixative and processed for histopathological examination.
Organ weights
From all animals the organs were dissected free of fat and weighed. The ratios of organ weight to body weight were calculated for each animal.
Tissues fixed and preserved
Samples of all the tissues were fixed and preserved in 10% buffered formol saline (except testes and epididymides which were fixed in Bouin's solution and preserved in 70% ethyl alcohol). One slice from the liver lobes, the lobus dexter lateralis and the lobus sinister lateralis, was fixed in Carnoy's solution. Liver samples fixed in Carnoy's solution from the low, mid and recovery groups were processed onto the paraffin block.
Histopathological examination
After dehydration and embedding in paraffin wax, sections of the tissues were cut at 5 micrometre thickness and stained with haematoxylin and eosin. Samples fixed in Carnoy' s solution were cut at 2-3 micrometre thickness. In the first instance the examination was restricted as follows:
a) Tissues from all animals in the control and high dose group killed after 4 weeks of treatment;
b) All abnormalities in all main phase groups.
Pertaining to the liver, only the sections fixed in Carnoy's solution were examined by the pathologist. - Statistics:
- For continuous variables the significance of the differences amongst groups was assessed by analysis of variance. Differences between each treated group and the control group were assessed by Dunnett's test using a pooled error variance. The homogeneity of the data was verified by Bartlett's test before Dunnett's test. If data were found to be inhomogeneous a Modified t test (Cochran and Cox) was applied. The mean values, standard deviations and statistical analysis were calculated from the actual values in the computer without rounding off.
Results and discussion
Results of examinations
- Clinical signs:
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- No signs were observed at daily post-dose observations. Detailed clinical signs with neurotoxicity assessment did generally not show any signs which could be correlated to the treatment with the test item. Dark faeces (with a dose-related intensity) were seen in the litter tray of all animals treated with the test item for the duration of the treatment period. This sign was no longer evident by Day 6 of the recovery phase.
- Mortality:
- no mortality observed
- Description (incidence):
- No mortality occurred during the study.
- Body weight and weight changes:
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- No significant differences in body weights were noted between treated animals and controls.
- Food consumption and compound intake (if feeding study):
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- Food consumption was not affected by treatment.
- Haematological findings:
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- No changes of toxicological significance were observed in haematological parameters. The slight increments, generally statistically significant, of red blood cells, haemoglobin and the decrement of mean corpuscular volume observed in females treated with 1000 mg/kg/day were considered to be incidental and without toxicological significance, as they were slight, not dose-related and fully within historical control values.
- Clinical biochemistry findings:
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- Clinical chemistry parameters did not show any changes of toxicological importance. The slight, statistically significant differences observed in some parameters (aspartate aminotransferase, glucose, triglycerides, urea, albumin, sodium and calcium) were not dose related, not consistent between sexes and insufficient in magnitude to be of toxicological significance.
- Urinalysis findings:
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- No significant changes were observed at analysis of urine parameters.
- Behaviour (functional findings):
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- No significant differences between treated animals and controls were observed at evaluations of sensory reaction performed at the end of treatment. Motor activity measurements performed at the end of the treatment period did not show changes, which could be ascribed to treatment.
- Immunological findings:
- not examined
- Organ weight findings including organ / body weight ratios:
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- No changes of toxicological significance were observed in the weight of the organs.
- Gross pathological findings:
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- No change of toxicological significance was reported at post mortem examination, in treated animals killed at the end of treatment or at completion of the recovery period, when compared with controls.
- Histopathological findings: non-neoplastic:
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- The histopathological examination did not reveal any evident differences in the incidence of the findings observed in treated and control animals, which could be considered treatment related. The lesions described were considered evidence of spontaneous pathology, often seen in this species under our experimental conditions.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Based on the results reported, the high-dose of 1000 mg/kg/day, when administered daily for 4 consecutive weeks, was considered the No Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL).
- Executive summary:
In a GLP-compliant oral subacute toxicity study following OECD test guideline 407, three groups, each of 5 male and 5 female Sprague Dawley rats received the test item by gavage at dosages of 100, 300 and 1000 mg/kg/day for 4 consecutive weeks. A fourth similarly constituted group received the vehicle alone (0.5% CMC) and acted as a control. Five additional animals for each sex were included in the high and control groups for recovery assessment.
No mortality occurred during the study and no clinical signs were observed at daily post-dose observations which could be correlated to the treatment with the test item. No significant differences between treated animals and controls were observed at evaluations of sensory reaction performed at the end of treatment. Motor activity measurements performed at the end of the treatment period did not show changes, which could be ascribed to treatment. No significant differences in body weights were noted between treated animals and controls. Food consumption was not affected by treatment. No changes of toxicological significance were observed in haematological and clinical parameters. No significant changes were observed at analysis of urine parameters. No changes of toxicological significance were observed in the weight of the organs. No change of toxicological significance was reported at Post mortem examination, in treated animals killed at the end of treatment or at completion of the recovery period, when compared with controls. The histopathological examination did not reveal any evident differences in the incidence of the findings observed in treated and control animals, which could be considered treatment related. The lesions described were considered evidence of spontaneous pathology, often seen in this species under our experimental conditions.
On the basis of these results, no signs of an adverse effect of the test item were seen at any of the dose levels investigated (100, 300 and 1000 mg/kg/day). Therefore, the high-dose of 1000 mg/kg/day, when administered daily for 4 consecutive weeks, was considered the No Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL).
