- yes
- Details on analytical verification of doses or concentrations:
- Prior to the study, 10-mL samples were collected from the middle stratum of the low- and high-dose formulations, and stability was determined at 0, 1, 8, and 15 days. During the study samples for concentration verification were collected from the middle of each dosing formulation for the first 4 weeks of dosing and monthly thereafter.
Samples were analyzed via gas chromatography with FID (flame ionization detection).
One and 10% concentrations of 1,3-propanediol in water were stable for up to 15 days. Dosing solutions were generally within 20% of nominal at the 10 mg/mL concentration and within 4% at the 30 and 100 mg/mL concentrations. - Duration of treatment / exposure:

Complete necropsies were performed on all animals that survived to scheduled termination. The following organs were weighed: adrenals, brain, epididymides, kidneys, liver, ovaries (with oviducts), pituitary, prostate, seminal vesicles with coagulating glands, testes and thyroid.
HISTOPATHOLOGY: Yes
The following tissues and organs were collected and preserved appropriately: adrenals, aorta, bone with marrow (sternebrae), bone marrow smear from femur, brain (forebrain, midbrain and hindbrain), coagulating gland, epididymis (right), eyes with optic nerve, gastrointestinal tract (esophagus, stomach, duodenum, jejunum, ileum, cecum, colon and rectum), heart, kidneys, liver (sections of 2 lobes), lungs (with bronchi and fixed), mesenteric and submandibular lymph nodes, mammary glands (females only), ovaries with oviducts, pancreas, peripheral nerve (sciatic), pituitary, prostate, submaxillary salivary glands, seminal vesicles, skeletal muscle (vastus medialis), skin, spinal cord (cervical, midthoracic, lumbar), spleen, testis (right), thymus, thyroid (with parathyroids, if present), trachea, urinary bladder, uterus with vagina, vas deferens and all gross lesions. After fixation, these tissues were trimmed, sectioned and examined microscopically for all of the animals in the control and high dose groups. Also, the lungs, liver, kidneys, stomach and testes were examined microscopically from all animals in every group. - Other examinations:
- Spermatogenic endpoints were evaluated for all males at study termination. See Reproduction Section (7.8) for details.
- Statistics:
- All data analyses were conducted using two-tailed tests, p < 0.01 and p < 0.05, comparing the treated groups to the control group by sex. Standard deviations were calculated for all means. Body weight, body weight change, food consumption, clinical pathology, absolute and relative organ weight data were subjected to a one-way analysis of variance, followed by Dunnett's test. Clinical laboratory values for leukocytes that occur at a low incidence (monocytes, eosinophils and basophils) were not subjected to statistical analysis. In addition, the statistical analysis was not performed if the number of animals was 2 or less. All statistical tests were performed by a computer with appropriate programming.
- Clinical signs:
- no effects observed
- Mortality:
- no mortality observed
- Body weight and weight changes:
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- Mean body weights and body weight gains were unaffected at all dose levels. A statistically significant increase in mean body weight gain for the 300 mg/kg/day group males during Week 6-7 was attributed to the substantial body weight gain of 42 g for a single animal.
- Food consumption and compound intake (if feeding study):
- no effects observed
- Food efficiency:
- not examined
- Water consumption and compound intake (if drinking water study):
- not examined
- Ophthalmological findings:
- no effects observed
- Haematological findings:
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- There were several statistically significant differences noted in white blood cell parameters in the treatment groups as compared to the control group. See Table 1. Mean white blood cell and/or lymphocyte counts for all treated males were decreased at the Week 4 interval. However, the differences were attributed to high control group values and not test article administration. At the Week 13 interval, the mean absolute lymphocyte value was increased in the females treated at 1000 mg/kg/day; however, this value was similar to the value for this group at the Week 4 interval and a similar increase was not seen in the males in this treatment group. As no relationship to treatment was established for these differences, no treatment-related hematological changes were observed for any of the treatment groups at either interval.
- Clinical biochemistry findings:
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- Comparison of collected serum chemistry values at both intervals identified some statistically significant differences for the female treatment groups as compared to the control group. See Table 2. At Week 4, decreases were observed in mean aspartate aminotransferase (AAT) at 300 and 1000 mg/kg/day (statistically significant only in females), in mean cholesterol in females at 100 mg/kg/day and in mean chloride at 1000 mg/kg/day in females. Mean glucose was increased at all dose levels but statistically significant in females only. In general these parameters are highly variable and all differences from the control group were slight and/or not present in a dose-related manner. At Week 13, total bilirubin was decreased in females at 100 and 1000 mg/kg/day; however, slight decreases in bilirubin are not usually considered toxicologically significant. There were no other notable differences in the serum chemistry parameters examined; and none of the noted differences are considered to be treatment-related.
- Urinalysis findings:
- not examined
- Behaviour (functional findings):
- not examined
- Organ weight findings including organ / body weight ratios:
- no effects observed
- Gross pathological findings:
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- Findings in the treated groups were limited to one or two animals in various groups, occurred similarly in the control group and/or were findings commonly observed in laboratory rats.
- Histopathological findings: non-neoplastic:
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- Findings in the treated groups were limited to one or two animals in various groups, occurred similarly in the control group and/or were findings commonly observed in laboratory rats.

- Executive summary:
Crl:CD (SD) BR rats (10/sex/group) were administered 1,3-propanediol by oral gavage daily for 91 or 92 days at concentrations of 100, 300 and 1000 mg/kg/day. A concurrent control group (10/sex) was administered the vehicle, deionized water. Clinical observations were performed daily at the time of dosing and 1-2 hours post-dose. Detailed clinical observations were performed weekly and prior to euthanization. Individual body weights and food consumption were recorded weekly. A final fasted body weight was recorded on the day of scheduled termination. Clinical pathology parameters, hematology and serum chemistry, were evaluated once during the dosing period at Week 4 and at scheduled necropsy. Complete necropsies were performed on all animals that survived to scheduled termination. Histopathology evaluations were performed.
The NOEL of orally administered 1,3-propanediol under the conditions of this study was determined to be 1000 mg/kg/day (the highest dose tested).

Sperm parameters (parental animals)
Spermatogenic endpoints were evaluated for all males at termination. This included a motility/viability assessment, a morphology assessment and the enumeration of epididymal and testicular sperm numbers and sperm production rate. Immediately following euthanization, the right epididymis of each male was excised and weighed separately. An incision was made in the distal region of the cauda epididymis, which was removed and placed in Dulbecco's phosphate buffered saline (PBS). A sample of the diluted sperm was then loaded into a 100 μm cannula for determination of motility. Anything that came into contact with the sperm was maintained at approximately 37ºC as to not adversely affect motility. Motility determinations were performed under constant temperature (37ºC) using the Hamilton-Throne HTM-IVOS Cersion 10 computer-assisted sperm analysis (CASA) system. At least 200 motile and nonmotile spermatozoa/animal were analyzed.
A sample of sperm for morphology assessment was obtained from the right cauda epididymis of each male. Sperm morphology was evaluated using a modification of the wet-mount technique. Abnormal forms of sperm (double heads, double tails, micro- or megacephalic, etc) were recorded from a differential count of 200 spermatozoa/animal.
The left testis and epididymis from each male were weighed, frozen, homogenized and evaluated for sperm production rate using the Hamilton-Thorne CASA system. - Statistics:
- All data analyses were conducted using two-tailed tests, p < 0.01 and p < 0.05, comparing the treated groups to the control group. Standard deviations were calculated for all means. Epididymal and testicular sperm numbers and sperm production rates were subjected to a one-way analysis of variance, followed by Dunnett's test. The percentage of motile spermatozoa and the percentage of sperm with normal morphology were analyzed by the Kruskal-Wallis test. Statistical analysis was not performed if the number of animals was 2 or less. All statistical tests were performed by a computer with appropriate programming.

- Executive summary:
Crl:CD (SD) BR rats (10/sex/group) were administered 1,3-propanediol by oral gavage daily for 91 or 92 days at concentrations of 100, 300 and 1000 mg/kg/day. A concurrent control group (10/sex) was administered the vehicle, deionized water. Spermatogenic endpoints were evaluated for all males at termination. This included a motility/viability assessment, a morphology assessment and the enumeration and epididymal and testicular sperm numbers and sperm production rate.
No effects on reproductive organs (organ weight or histopathology) were observed in the study. There were no treatment-related effects on spermatogenic endpoints (mean testicular and epididymal sperm numbers, sperm production rate and sperm motility and morphology) at any dose level. The male reproductive NOEL of orally administered 1,3-propanediol under the conditions of the study was determined to be 1000 mg/kg/day.
