URINALYSIS: No
NEUROBEHAVIOURAL EXAMINATION: No
IMMUNOLOGY: No - Sacrifice and pathology:
- SACRIFICE: After at least 28 days of treatment, all surviving animals were weighed and sacrificed by exsanguination under sodium pentobarbital anesthesia. Necropsies were conducted over a two-day period on study days 30 and 31.
GROSS PATHOLOGY: Yes ; external surfaces, all orifices, cranial cavity, carcass, nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses, cervical tissues and organs, external surface of the brain and spinal cord (at necropsy) ; the cut surfaces of the brain were examined at the time of tissue trimming, thoracic, abdominal and pelvic cavities and their viscera
ORGAN WEIGHTS:
For each terminally sacrificed animal, the following organs were weighed following careful dissection and trimming to remove fat and other contiguous tissue in a uniform manner:
Brain (including brainstem), spleen, liver, heart, kidneys, testes with epididymides, thyroid with parathyroids*, adrenals*, ovaries*, pituitary*
HISTOPATHOLOGY: Yes
Tissue Preservation: The following tissues from each animal were preserved in 10% neutral buffered formalin: femoral bone marrow$, lung (with mainstem bronchi)$, ovaries$, lesions$, kidneys$, adrenals$, testes with epididymides$, duodenum$, Jeiunum$, ileum$, brain with brainstem (medulla/pons, cerebellar cortex, cerebral cortex)$, thymus, esophagus, pancreas$, sciatic nerve, skeletal muscle, cervical, thoracic and lumbar spinal cord, urinary bladder$, pituitary$, uterus$, thyroid (parathyroids)$, heart$, liver$, spleen$, colon$, cecum$, rectum$, stomach$, salivary gland (mandibular), trachea, mesenteric lymph node$
Additionally, a femoral bone marrow smear was prepared from all sacrificed animals and preserved in methanol and stained with Wright stain.
Histopathology: The aforementioned tissues ($indicated) from all control and high-dose animals; the heart, liver, kidneys, stomachs and lesions from all low- and mid-dose animals, were embedded in paraffin, sectioned, stained with hematoxylin and eosin, and examined microscopically.
*weighed post-fixation - Other examinations:
- None
- Statistics:
- Mean body weight changes (Weeks 0-4), total food consumption (Weeks 1-4), clinical pathology data (except cell morphology), absolute organ weight and organ-to-body weight ratios of the control group were compared statistically to the data from the same sex of the treated groups. If variances of untransformed data were heterogeneous, analyses were performed on transformed data to achieve variance homogeneity. When the series of transformations were not successful in achieving variance homogeneity, analyses were performed on rank-transformed data. Group comparisons were performed at 5% two-tailed probability level.
Results and discussion
Results of examinations
- Clinical signs:
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- Isolated incidences of alopecia and sores were noted in both males and females of several groups. In vehicle control group, one male had a small movable head mass at Week 1, but this observation was not present thereafter.
- Mortality:
- mortality observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence):
- One high-dose female was found dead on Day 2 of the study and was replaced on study with another animal which was dosed for the required period of time. One high-dose male was found dead on Day 9 of the study. However the death was attributed to be handling accident.
- Body weight and weight changes:
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- No statistically significant changes in body weight was observed.
- Food consumption and compound intake (if feeding study):
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- No statistically significant changes in food consumption was observed.
- Food efficiency:
- not examined
- Water consumption and compound intake (if drinking water study):
- not examined
- Ophthalmological findings:
- not examined
- Haematological findings:
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- No treatment related findings were noted in the clinical haematology.
- Clinical biochemistry findings:
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- Treatment-related increases in total protein and serum albumin were observed in the mid- and high-dose males and the high-dose females. Serum calcium was also increased in these same treated groups, apparently as a secondary response to the increase in albumin, its major serum binding protein. The pathogenesis of these increases, however, is unknown.
- Urinalysis findings:
- not examined
- Behaviour (functional findings):
- no effects observed
- Immunological findings:
- not examined
- Organ weight findings including organ / body weight ratios:
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- A treatment-related increase in absolute and relative kidney weight was observed in the high-dose males and females, and in the mid-dose males and high dose males and females, respectively.
In the liver, a treatment-related increase in both absolute and relative liver weight was observed in the mid and high-dose males and females, While statistical significance was also noted in the absolute liver weight of the low-dose females, the corresponding relative liver weight, while elevated and consistent with a dose-related response, was not statistically significant. Therefore, a relationship to treatment in the low-dose females must be considered as equivocal. A modest increase in both absolute and relative liver weight was observed in the low-dose males. While these increases could be consistent with a dose-related response, the magnitude of the increases and the absence of statistical significance do not appear to attribute these increases to treatment.
While several instances of statistically significant decreases in thyroid/parathyroid weights were observed, these findings were considered incidental to treatment in the absence of a meaningful dose relationship. - Gross pathological findings:
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- Treatment-related gross pathology findings and treatment-related increases in organ weights were generally observed in the kidney and liver of these same treated groups, and were considered as confirmation of the histopathological findings.
- Neuropathological findings:
- no effects observed
- Histopathological findings: non-neoplastic:
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- Treatment-related periportal hepatocellular cytoplasmic vacuolization was noted in the liver of all treated female groups, with the effect observed in nine of the ten high-dose females. A treatment-related increase in degenerative lesions in the renal cortex was noted in the high-dose males. Treatment related lesions in the non-glandular region of the stomach were observed in the mid- and high-dose females. These lesions consisted of a low incidence of erosion, subacute inflammation and acanthosis, and were somewhat more prevalent in the high-dose females.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Under the test conditions, the NOAEL for test substance was determined to be 160 mg/kg bw/day in males and females.
- Executive summary:
In a repeated dose toxicity study performed similarly to OECD test guideline No. 407 and in compliance with GLP, test substance was administered to Crl:CD(SD) rats (10/sex/dose) via oral (gavage) at 160, 400 and 1000 mg/kg bw/day for 28 days. Control animals received 1% methyl cellulose. During the study, clinical signs, mortality, body weight, food consumption, hematology, clinical chemistry, organ weight, gross and histopathology investigations were undertaken.
No treatment-related effects on survival, clinical observations, body weights, food consumption and hematology were observed.
Treatment-related increases in total protein and serum albumin were observed at 400 and 1000 mg/kg bw/day in males and at 1000 mg/kg bw/day in females. Serum calcium was also increased in these same treated groups, apparently as a secondary response to the increase in albumin, its major serum binding protein. The pathogenesis of these increases, however, is unknown.
Treatment-related lesions were noted histopathologically in the kidney at 1000 mg/kg bw/day in males, in the non-glandular region of the stomach at 400 and 1000 mg/kg bw/day in females, and in the liver at 1000 mg/kg bw/day in females. Similar lesions of the liver were also noted at 160 and 400 mg/kg bw/day in the females, but at a lower incidence. Treatment-related gross pathology findings and treatment-related increases in organ weights were generally observed in the kidney and liver of these same treated groups, and were considered as confirmation of the histopathological findings. There were no other impact such as an increase in hepatic enzymes (ALP, AST, GGT, GLDH...) or significant changes in other biomarkers indicating a liver dysfunction (Chol, bile acid, TG…) at the low dose both in females and males. Therefore, the effects reported in the females at low dose can be considered as an adaptive response to the test substance and the NOAEL can be established at 160 mg/kg bw/day.
Under the test conditions, the NOAEL for test substance was determined to be 160 mg/kg bw/day in males and females.
