Four groups of 6 females were exposed to 0, 100, 300 and 1000 mg/kg for Days 6 to 20 post-coitum inclusive by oral gavage. These dose levels were based on a 14-day pilot study in which no toxicity was observed with treatment up to 1000 mg/kg. In a 90-day repeated dose study no effects on clinical signs, body weight or food consumption were observed by treatment up to 1000 mg/kg in the first weeks after dosing.
In this study no effects were found related to maternal or developmental toxicity up to 1000 mg/kg bw.

Results and discussion
Results: maternal animals
General toxicity (maternal animals)
- Clinical signs:
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- No toxicologically relevant clinical signs were noted during the observation period. Alopecia was noted for single females of the control, 300 and 1000 mg/kg groups. This finding occurred within the range of background findings to be expected for rats of this age and strain which are housed and treated under the conditions in this study. At the incidence observed, these were considered signs of no toxicological relevance.
- Mortality:
- no mortality observed
- Body weight and weight changes:
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- Mean body weights, body weight gain and weight gain corrected for gravid uterus of treated animals remained in the same range as controls over the treatment period.

1.Formulation Analysis
Accuracy of preparation
The concentrations analysed in the formulations of Group 2, Group 3 and Group 4 were in agreement with target concentrations (i.e. mean accuracies between 85% and 115%). The mean accuracy was 98% for Group 2, 96% for Group 3 and 103% for Group 4.
No test item was detected in the Group 1 formulation.
Homogeneity
The formulations of Group 2 and Group 4 were homogeneous (i.e. coefficient of variation = 10%). The coefficient of variation was 2.7% for Group 2 and 2.8% for Group 4.
2.Maternal Findings
For further detail on summary data,see attached document with tables.
2.1.Mortality
No mortality occurred in this study.
2.2.Clinical Signs
No toxicologically relevant clinical signs were noted during the observation period. Alopecia was noted for single females of the control, 300 and 1000 mg/kg groups. This finding occurred within the range of background findings to be expected for rats of this age and strain which are housed and treated under the conditions in this study. At the incidence observed, these were considered signs of no toxicological relevance.
2.3.Body Weights
Mean body weights, body weight gain and weight gain corrected for gravid uterus of treated animals remained in the same range as controls over the treatment period.
2.4.Food Consumption
Food consumption before or after correction for body weight was similar between treated and control animals over the treatment period.
2.5.Macroscopic Examination
Macroscopic examination at necropsy revealed no toxicologically relevant findings.
The only alteration observed was alopecia, noted for three females, confirming the clinical sign observed during the in-life phase.
2.6.Maternal Pregnancy Data
One female at 1000 mg/kg (no. 82) was not pregnant. All other females were pregnant and had litters with viable fetuses.
As all females were mated before start of treatment, the test item cannot have had an effect on the initial
pregnancy rate.
There were no toxicologically relevant effects on the numbers of pregnant females, corpora lutea and implantation sites, or in pre- or post-implantation loss by treatment up to 1000 mg/kg.
The statistically significantly lower pre-implantation loss at 100 and 300 mg/kg were considered to be caused by a relatively high concurrent control value (11.2% compared to historical control mean value of 6.2%)
3.Fetal Findings
3.1.Litter Size
There were no treatment-related effects on litter size of any group.
Mean litter sizes were 10.0, 10.5, 10.2 and 9.3 fetuses/litter for the control, 100, 300 and 1000 mg/kg groups, respectively.
The percentage of viable fetuses was slightly lower in the 1000 mg/kg group (88.3%), when compared to the control group (94.6%). This was related to the slightly higher percentage of early resorptions at 1000 mg/kg (11.2%), compared to controls (4.5%). As these changes were not statistically significant and only slightly outside the range of the available historical control data, they were not considered to be toxicologically relevant.
Range of historical control data of viable fetuses/litter and early resorptions/litter: 88.9% - 98.4% and 1.6% -
11.1%, respectively.
3.2.Sex Ratio
The male:female ratio was unaffected by treatment up to 1000 mg/kg.
Mean sex ratios (males:females) were 44:56, 53:47, 51:49 and 47:53 for the control, 100, 300 and 1000 mg/kg groups, respectively.
3.3.Fetal Body Weight
There were no effects on fetal body weights (both sexes) noted by treatment up to 1000 mg/kg.
Mean combined (male and female) fetal body weights were 5.0, 5.2, 5.1 and 5.2 gram for the control, 100, 300 and 1000 mg/kg groups, respectively.
4.Fetal Morphological Examinations
The numbers of fetuses (litters) available for morphological examination were 221 (22), 232 (22), 225 (22) and 196 (21) in Groups 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively. External examination was done for all fetuses, visceral examination was done for approximately half of the fetuses of all groups, and skeletal examination was done for the other half of fetuses.
4.1.Exteral Malformations and Variations
There were no treatment related effects on external morphology following treatment up to 1000 mg/kg.
The only external malformation (an omphalocele) observed in this study was noted in control fetus A020-10 and as such was considered a chance finding.
External variations were not seen in any group.
4.2.Visceral Malformations and Variations
There were no treatment related effects on visceral morphology following treatment up to 1000 mg/kg.
One visceral malformation was observed, which occurred in fetus A025-12 at 100 mg/kg. This fetus missed one of the two kidneys. As this rare malformation occurred singly, it was considered a chance finding.
The two visceral variations that were noted in this study both involved the liver (small supernumerary liver lobes and appendix of the liver) and as these occurred at low incidences and in the absence of a dose-related incidence, they were not considered to be treatment related.
4.3.Skeletal Malformations and Variations
There were no treatment related effects on skeletal morphology following treatment up to 1000 mg/kg.
Skeletal malformations were observed in 1 (1), 4 (4), 4 (3) and 2 (2) fetuses (litters) in Groups 1, 2, 3 and 4, respectively. The most common malformation was bent limb bones (scapulas and/or humeri) that occurred in one control (A008-02), one Group 2 (A031-11), four Group 3 (A047-11, A056-08, A065-07 and -09) and one Group 4 fetus (A084-09). The group distribution of this malformation did not indicate a relation to dose concentration and as it is also the most common observed malformation in historical controls, it was not considered tobe toxicologically relevant.
Other malformations that were revealed included malpositioned metatarsals noted in Group 4 fetus (A088-03) and small mandibles, vertebral centra anomaly and sternoschisis noted in Group 2(fetus A044-09, A033-03 and A032-05, respectively). Because these occurred singly, they were considered chance findings.
Skeletal variations occurred at an incidence of 84.8%, 78.0%, 84.2% and 79.7% per litter in Groups 1, 2, 3 and 4, respectively. All the ones noted, were not considered to be treatment related as they occurred in the absence of a dose-dependent relationship, infrequently and/or at frequencies that were within the range of available historical control data.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Twenty-two female rats/group were exposed to the substance during day 6 to 20 post-coitum at 0, 100, 300 and 1000 mg/kg bw by gavage. No effects on maternal mortality, bodyweight (gain), clinical signs, food consumption and macroscopy were found. No effects were reported on maternal develomental parameters like abortions, implantation loss, resorptions and fetal deaths. The litter size as well as the sex ratio, number and weight of the fetuses did not differ between dose groups. No treatment related external, visceral and/or skeletal malformations were observed. The NOAEL for maternal toxicity is 1000 mg/kg bw. The NOAEL for developmental toxicity is 1000 mg/kg bw.
- Executive summary:
Eighty-eight mated female Wistar Han rats were assigned to four dose groups. The test item was administered once daily by oral gavage from Days 6 to 20 post-coitum at doses of 100, 300 and 1000 mg/kg (Groups 2, 3 and 4 respectively). The rats of the control group received the vehicle, propylene glycol, alone. Females were checked daily for the presence of clinical signs. Food consumption and body weight were determined at periodic intervals. Formulations prepared on one day during treatment were analyzed for accuracy and homogeneity. All animals surviving to Day 21 post-coitum were subjected to an examination post-mortem and external, thoracic and abdominal macroscopic findings were recorded. Gross lesions were collected and fixed from all animals at necropsy. A laparohysterectomy was performed on each surviving female of the groups. The uteri, placentae and ovaries were examined, and the numbers of fetuses, early and late resorptions, total implantations and corpora lutea were recorded. Gravid uterine weights were recorded, and corrected body weights (changes) were calculated. The fetuses were weighed, sexed and examined for external, visceral and skeletal malformations and developmental variations. All live fetuses were euthanized. One half of the fetuses were decapitated and the heads were fixed in Bouin’s fixative; these fetuses were dissected and examined for visceral anomalies. The other one-half of the fetuses were processed and stained with Alizarin Red S for skeletal examinations.
RESULTS
Accuracy and homogeneity of formulations were demonstrated by analyses.
Maternal findings
No maternal toxicity (i.e. mortality, clinical signs of toxicity, toxicologically relevant changes in body weight or food consumption or macroscopic alterations) was observed in the 100, 300 and 1000 mg/kg groups.
Developmental findings
No developmental toxicity (i.e. toxicologically relevant changes in the number of implantation sites, pre- or post-implantation loss, litter size, sex ratio, fetal body weights or fetal morphological alterations) was observed in the 100, 300 and 1000 mg/kg groups.
CONCLUSION
Based on the results in this prenatal developmental toxicity study the maternal and developmental No Observed Adverse Effect Levels (NOAEL) for reaction products of tall oil fatty acids with diethylenetriamine and maleic anhydride were established as being 1000 mg/kg.
