Results and discussion
Results of examinations
- Clinical signs:
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- No clinical signs were observed in the animals of the 40 and the 200 mg/kg/day groups. At the dose level of 1000 mg/kg/day, clinical signs observed were : hypersalivation (9/10 males and 7/10 females), decrease in activity in all the animals, eyes half-closed in 9/10 males and all females, lacrimation (7/10 males and 2/10 females), dyspnea in 1/10 males. This clinical signs could be due, in part, to the slight irritant properties of the test substance.
- Mortality:
- mortality observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence):
- One male of the 200 mg/kg/day dose level was found dead on day 28, after blood sampling. No clinical signs preceded the death. The probable cause was not established.
- Body weight and weight changes:
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- The bodyweight gain in the males and the females of the 40 and 200 mg/kg/day groups was comparable to that of control groups. A slight decrease in the bodyweight gain was observed from the first week of treatment, in the males and the females of the 1000 mg/kg/day group. The difference in the mean bodyweight values, statistically significant from week 3 in the males and 4 in the females, was in mean 10% and 7% respctively.
- Food consumption and compound intake (if feeding study):
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- A very slight decrease in the food consumption was recorded in all animals of the high dose group (1000 mg/kg/day) throughout the study, in mean 8% (male) and 9% (female).
- Food efficiency:
- not examined
- Water consumption and compound intake (if drinking water study):
- not examined
- Ophthalmological findings:
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- The exmainations revealed only minor changes : corneal vacuolisation and persistence of the hyaloid vessel) commonly observed in the laboratory rats.
- Haematological findings:
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- Moderate prolongation in the Quicktime (QT) together with moderate increase in Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (APTT), were observed in the males of the 1000 mg/kg/day group. The values for these two parameters in the females of the same group were comparable to those of the controls.
- Clinical biochemistry findings:
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- Slight to moderate increase in triglycerides values was found among the male rats receiving 1000 mg/kg/day, when compared with the controls. A tendancy towards such an effect was found among the females rats of the same group. The relationship of the increase in triglycerides values to the treatment cannot be ruled out. The variations observed in the other blood biochemical parameters, namely inorganic phosphorus, total bilirubin, glucose level, proteingram and aminotransferas activities, were considered to be of no toxicological significance, although they were statistically significant. This was because they were minor and not dose related.
- Urinalysis findings:
- no effects observed
- Behaviour (functional findings):
- not examined
- Immunological findings:
- no effects observed
- Organ weight findings including organ / body weight ratios:
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- The statistical analysis of organ weights revealed the following changes in the 1000 mg/kg/day group versus control: a marked increase in absolute and relative spleen weights in the males (60% and 86%) and in the females (36% and 53%), a slight decrease in relative kidneys weight in the males (24%) and in females (9%), a moderate increase in relative liver weight in the males (15%) and females (8%), a slight increase in testes weight (24%) in the males, a slight decrease in absolute adrenals weight (16%) in the females.
- Gross pathological findings:
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- A blackish colouration of the spleen was observed in 9/10 males and 8/10 females of the 1000 mg/kg/day group, 2 females of the 200 mg/kg/day group and on male of the 40 mg/kg/day group. Moreover, enlargement of the spleen was seen in 5/10 males and 4/10 females of the 1000 mg/kg/day group.
- Histopathological findings: non-neoplastic:
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- In spleen, Haemosiderin-laden macrophages were seen in 9/10 males and 10/10 females of the high dose level group vs 3/10 females of control group. The increased incidence and severity of haemosiderin pigment accumulation was also considered to be treatment-related.
- Histopathological findings: neoplastic:

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Under experimental conditions of this study, the daily administration (gavage) of the test item 1-phenyl-3-methyl-5-pyrazolone to Sprague-Dawley rats for 28 days at doses of 0, 40, 200 and 1000 mg/kg/day induced clinical signs as hypersalivation, decrease in activity, eyes half-closed, lacrimation and a slight decrease in the body weight gain in line with a very slight decrease in food consumption in all the animals of 1000 mg/kg/day group. At the same dose, a moderate prolongation of the quicktime with a moderate increase in the activated partial thromboplastin time, and moderate increase in the triglyceride level were observed in males.On microscopic examination, a marked congestion of the spleen with haemosiderin-laden macrophages in line with blackish colouration were observed in animals of both sexes at the high dose level. Consequently, according to REACh regulation, the No Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) could be defined at the dose level of 200 mg/kg/day.
- Executive summary:
The GLP-compliant study was performed to assess the potential toxicity of 1 -phenyl-3 -methyl-5 -pyrazolone when administered daily to Sprague-Dawley rats for 4 weeks (28 days) according to OECD guideline 407 (Repeated Dose oral toxicity - Rodent 28-day or 14-day study) (dated 12th May 1981).
Materials and Method
Groups of 20 animals (10 males and 10 females) each received daily the test substance at doses of 0 (control group), 40 , 200 or 1000 mg/kg/day by oral route (gavage) for 4 weeks (28 days).
Clinical signs was recorded once daily, twice for mortality. Food consumption and body weight were recorded on a weekly basis. Haematological and blood biochemical investigations were performed on
week 4.
At the end of the treatment period, all animals were sacrificed. Designated organs were weighed and all tissues were examined before and after dissection.
Results
No clinical signs were observed in the animals of the 40 and the 200 mg/kg/day groups. At the dose level of 1000 mg/kg/day, clinical signs observed were : hypersalivation (9/10 males and 7/10 females), decrease in activity in all the animals, eyes half-closed in 9/10 males and all females, lacrimation (7/10 males and 2/10 females), dyspnea in 1/10 males. This clinical signs could be due, in part, to the slight irritant properties of the test substance. The bodyweight gain in the males and the females of the 40 and 200 mg/kg/day groups was comparable to that of control groups. A slight decrease in the bodyweight gain was observed from the first week of treatment, in the males and the females of the 1000 mg/kg/day group. The difference in the mean bodyweight values, statistically significant from week 3 in the males and 4 in the females, was in mean 10% and 7% respctively. A very slight decrease in the food consumption was recorded in all animals of the high dose group (1000 mg/kg/day) throughout the study, in mean 8% (male) and 9% (female). Moderate prolongation in the Quicktime (QT) together with moderate increase in Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (APTT), were observed in the males of the 1000 mg/kg/day group. The values for these two parameters in the females of the same group were comparable to those of the controls.
The statistical analysis of organ weights revealed the following changes in the 1000 mg/kg/day group versus control: a marked increase in absolute and relative spleen weights in the males (60% and 86%) and in the females (36% and 53%), a slight decrease in relative kidneys weight in the males (24%) and in females (9%), a moderate increase in relative liver weight in the males (15%) and females (8%), a slight increase in testes weight (24%) in the males, a slight decrease in absolute adrenals weight (16%) in the females. A blackish colouration of the spleen was observed in 9/10 males and 8/10 females of the 1000 mg/kg/day group, 2 females of the 200 mg/kg/day group and on male of the 40 mg/kg/day group. Moreover, enlargement of the spleen was seen in 5/10 males and 4/10 females of the 1000 mg/kg/day group. In spleen, Haemosiderin-laden macrophages were seen in 9/10 males and 10/10 females of the high dose level group vs 3/10 females of control group. The increased incidence and severity of haemosiderin pigment accumulation was also considered to be treatment-related.
Conclusion
Under experimental conditions of this study, the daily administration (gavage) of the test item 1-phenyl-3-methyl-5-pyrazolone to Sprague-Dawley rats for 28 days at doses of 0, 40, 200 and 1000 mg/kg/day induced clinical signs as hypersalivation, decrease in activity, eyes half-closed, lacrimation and a slight decrease in the body weight gain in line with a very slight decrease in food consumption in all the animals of 1000 mg/kg/day group. At the same dose, a moderate prolongation of the quicktime with a moderate increase in the activated partial thromboplastin time, and moderate increase in the triglyceride level were observed in males.On microscopic examination, a marked congestion of the spleen with haemosiderin-laden macrophages in line with blackish colouration were observed in animals of both sexes at the high dose level. Consequently, according to REACh regulation, the No Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) could be defined at the dose level of 200 mg/kg/day.
