Details on results (P0)
No clinical signs or changes of general behavior, which may be attributed to the test substance, were detected in any male or female. Several male and female animals of dose group 3 (1000 mg/kg bw/d) showed salivation after treatment. This transient salivation for a few minutes immediately after each treatment was likely to be induced by the unpleasant taste of the test substance or by local irritation of the upper digestive tract. It is not considered to be a sign of systemic toxicity. There were no substance-related mortalities in any of the male and female parental animals in any of the groups. On premating day 12, one high dose F0 female (No. 137 - 1000 mg/kg body weight/day) was found dead after a gavage error.
BODY WEIGHT AND FOOD CONSUMPTION (PARENTAL ANIMALS)
REPRODUCTIVE FUNCTION: ESTROUS CYCLE (PARENTAL ANIMALS): Not affected.The fertility index varied between 88.9 % in test groups 3 and 1 and 100% in test group 2 and in control. These values reflect the normal range of biological variation inherent in the strain of rats used for this study. The gestation index was 100% in control and all dose groups.
REPRODUCTIVE FUNCTION: SPERM MEASURES (PARENTAL ANIMALS): Not affected. The male fertility index ranged between 80% and 100% without showing any relation to dosing.
REPRODUCTIVE PERFORMANCE (PARENTAL ANIMALS): No test substance-related adverse findings
ORGAN WEIGHTS (PARENTAL ANIMALS): When compared to the control group 0 (set to 100%), the mean relative and absolute liver weight was significantly increased in male animals of the high-dose group. All other mean relative and absolute weight parameters in males and all weight parameters in females did not show significant differences when compared to the control group 0. The increase in absolute and relative liver weights in test group 3 (1000 mg/kg bw/day) in male animals was considered to be treatment - related.
GROSS PATHOLOGY (PARENTAL ANIMALS): One female animal that died showed a ruptured esophagus. All other findings occurred individually. They were considered to be incidental or spontaneous in origin and without any relation to treatment.
HISTOPATHOLOGY (PARENTAL ANIMALS): One animal showed rupture of the esophagus confirming the macroscopic diagnosis. All other findings occurred either individually or were biologically equally distributed over control and treatment groups. They were considered to be incidental or spontaneous in origin and without any relation to treatment.

CLINICAL SIGNS (OFFSPRING): There were no test substance-related adverse clinical signs observed in any of the F1 generation pups of the different test groups.
BODY WEIGHT (OFFSPRING): No test compound-related influence on F1 pup body weights and pup body weight change were noted in all dose groups. Two male runts were seen in test group 3 (1000 mg/kg bw/d). This incidence was considered as spontaneous in nature and not treatment related.
SEX DISTRIBUTION (OFFSPRING): The sex distribution and sex ratios of live F1 pups on the day of birth and postnatal day 4 did not show substantial differences between the control and the test substance-treated groups; slight differences were regarded to be spontaneous in nature.
GROSS PATHOLOGY (OFFSPRING): A few pups showed spontaneous findings at gross necropsy, such as post mortem autolysis, situs inversus, reddish discolored testis, hydroureter and hydronephrosis. Thus, all these findings were not considered to be associated to the test substance.
