Description of key information
In a subacute study with rats (Covance, 1997) the test substance did not cause any adverse effects up to the highest dose tested (1000 mg/kg), therefore, the NOAEL was set at 1000 mg/kg bw.
In a subchronic study with rats (BASF SE, 2022) the test substance did not cause any adverse effects up to the highest dose tested (1000 mg/kg), therefore, the NOAEL was set at 1000 mg/kg bw.

- Details on oral exposure:
- PREPARATION OF DOSING SOLUTIONS:
- The test item was s applied as a suspension. To prepare this suspension, the appropriate amount of test substance was weighed out depending on the desired concentration. Then, 0.5% Sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) suspension in deionized water was filled up to the desired volume, subsequently mixed using an Ultra-turrax.
- The test-substance preparations were produced daily until study day 41. From study day 42 onwards the test-substance preparations were produced at least once a week and stored at refrigerator. During administration the testsubstance preparations were kept homogeneous using a magnetic stirrer. The administration volume was 10 mL/kg body weight.
VEHICLE

- Amount of vehicle (if gavage): 10 mL/kg body weight. - Analytical verification of doses or concentrations:
- yes
- Details on analytical verification of doses or concentrations:
- The stability of the test item in 0.5% Sodium carboxymethyl cellulose suspension in deionized water at room temperature over a period of up to 7 days was proven during the application period.
Homogeneity was verified in 3 samples in the highest and lowest concentration (were used as
a concentration control at the same time) at the beginning and towards the end of the administration period; additional concentration control analyses were verified in the mid concentration. Furthermore, samples were taken twice during the administration period.
Since equivocal analytical results in main samples from the beginning and the end of the
administration period in the low and mid dose occurred, retain samples of these samples were
analyzed.
Retain samples, described by the suffix “R”, were stored together with samples taken during
the administration period at the laboratory Mechanistic Toxicology (at -20 °C). Following
finalization of the report, all remaining analytical samples, including retain samples, will be
discarded - Duration of treatment / exposure:

- Clinical signs:
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- No adverse, substance related clinical findings were observed in male and female animals of all test groups.
Female animal No. 62 of test group 2 (300 mg/kg bw/d) had an injury in the left mouth region from study day 7 until study day 11 caused by an accident with the food hopper. On the day of the accident (study day 7) the animal showed piloerection. From study day 8 onwards an injury and opacity of the right eye was observed. The injury was seen last on study day 11, the opacity lasted until study day 41. This finding is assessed neither substance nor treatment related. - Mortality:
- no mortality observed
- Description (incidence):
- No animal died prematurely in the present study.
- Body weight and weight changes:
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- No adverse, test-substance related changes of mean body weights and mean body weight change values in both sexes were observed.
In female animals of test group 3 (1000 mg/kg bw/d) body weight change values were increased over the entire study period between 11.1% and 28.5% in comparison to the control group, with statistically significant values on study days 7, 35, 56 to 70, 84 and 91. It cannot be excluded that the increased body weight gain was test-substance related, but it was assessed as non-adverse. - Ophthalmological findings:
- no effects observed
- Haematological findings:
- no effects observed
- Clinical biochemistry findings:
- no effects observed
- Endocrine findings:
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- No treatment-related alterations of T3, T4 and TSH levels were observed.
At the end of the administration period, in males of test groups 1, 2 and 3 (100, 300 and 1000 mg/kg bw/d) T4 values were significantly lower compared to those of the study controls. But when comparing the values with the historical control range T4 values of the study controls were above, whereas those of the three dose groups were within this range (T4 males, 44.65-73.22 nmol/L). Moreover, the T4 change in males of test groups 1, 2 and 3 was not dose dependent. In females of test group 1 (100 mg/kg bw/d) T4 values were significantly lower compared to study controls, but this change was also not dose dependent. Therefore, the T4 alterations were regarded as incidental and not treatment related. - Urinalysis findings:
- no effects observed
- Behaviour (functional findings):
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- FOB:
- Home cage observations: No test-substance related adverse effects were observed.
- Open field observations: No test-substance related adverse effects were observed. One male animal (No. 10) of test group 0 (0 mg/kg bw/d, control) showed a reduced exploration of the area (activity/ arousal level). This single finding was assessed as spontaneous in nature.
- Sensorimotor tests/ reflexes: No test-substance related effects were observed.
Quantitative parameters: No test-substance related effects were observed.
Motor activity measurement:
Regarding the overall motor activity as well as single intervals, no test-substance related deviations were noted for male and female rats. - Organ weight findings including organ / body weight ratios:
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- - Absolute organ weights: All mean absolute weight parameters did not show significant differences when compared to the control group 0.
- Relative organ weights: When compared with control group 0 (=100%), the following mean relative organ weights were significantly decreased in test group 3 (statistically significant changes refer to Table 5 in "Any other information on results incl tables"). The significant decrease of the mean relative weight of the thyroid glands did not show dose dependency and was not associated to histopathological changes and is therefore regarded as incidental without any relation to treatment.
All other mean relative weight parameters did not show significant differences when compared to the control group 0. - Gross pathological findings:
- no effects observed
- Neuropathological findings:
- not examined
- Histopathological findings: non-neoplastic:
- no effects observed
- Dose descriptor:
- NOAEL
- Effect level:
- 1 000 mg/kg bw/day (nominal)
- Based on:
- test mat.
- Sex:
- male/female
- Basis for effect level:
- other: systemic toxicity
- Critical effects observed:
- no
- Conclusions:
- The administration of the test item by gavage to male and female Wistar rats for 3 months caused no signs of toxicity. Therefore, under the conditions of the present study the no observed adverse effect level (NOAEL) was 1000 mg/kg bw/d for male and female Wistar rats.

Additional information
In a GLP-compliant subchronic toxicity study (OECD 408), the test substance in 0.5% methylcellulose was administered daily by gavage to 10 female and 10 male Wistar rats at dose levels of 0 (test group 0, vehicle control), 100 (test group 1), 300 (test group 2) and 1000 mg/kg body weight/day (test group 3) over a period of 3 months. There were no test substance-related, relevant effects observed concerning clinical examinations, clinical pathology and pathology in all groups tested. No animal died prematurely in the present study. Female animal No. 62 of test group 2 (300 mg/kg bw/d) had an injury in the left mouth region from study day 7 until study day 11 caused by an accident with the food hopper. On the day of the accident (study day 7) the animal showed piloerection. From study day 8 onwards an injury and opacity of the right eye was observed. The injury was seen last on study day 11, the opacity lasted until study day 41. This finding is assessed neither substance nor treatment related. In female animals of test group 3 (1000 mg/kg bw/d) body weight change values were increased over the entire study period between 11.1% and 28.5% in comparison to the control group, with statistically significant values on study days 7, 35, 56 to 70, 84 and 91. It cannot be excluded that the increased body weight gain was test-substance related, but it was assessed as non-adverse. During the open-field observations one male animal (No. 10) of test group 0 (0 mg/kg bw/d, control) showed a reduced exploration of the area (activity/ arousal level). This single finding was assessed as spontaneous in nature. Regarding the examination of thyroid hormones, at the end of the administration period, in males of test groups 1, 2 and 3 (100, 300 and 1000 mg/kg bw/d) T4 values were significantly lower compared to those of the study controls. But when comparing the values with the historical control range T4 values of the study controls were above, whereas those of the three dose groups were within this range (T4 males, 44.65-73.22 nmol/L). Moreover, the T4 change in males of test groups 1, 2 and 3 was not dose dependent. In females of test group 1 (100 mg/kg bw/d) T4 values were significantly lower compared to study controls, but this change was also not dose dependent. Therefore, the T4 alterations were regarded as incidental and not treatment related. Concerning the relative organ weights, the thyroid gland was statistically significant decreased in test group 3 (-15%) , when compared with the control group 0 (=100%). The significant decrease of the mean relative weight of the thyroid glands did not show dose dependency and was not associated to histopathological changes and is therefore regarded as incidental without any relation to treatment. Therefore, under the conditions of the present study the no observed adverse effect level (NOAEL) was 1000 mg/kg bw/d for male and female Wistar rats.
In a GLP-compliant subacute toxicity study (OECD 407), the test substance in 0.5% methylcellulose was administered daily by gavage to five Sprague-Dawley rats per sex and dose group at 0, 10, 100, and 1000 mg/kg body weight for a period of 28 days. Five additional male and female animals were assigned to the control and the high dose group for a 14-day recovery period. All animals survived to their scheduled sacrifice. There were no test substance-related clinical observations and no effects on body weight, food consumption, organ weights, and macroscopic/microscopic appearance of tissues. Some variations in hematology parameters in group 4 reached the level of statistical significance but were only present at the end of the recovery period and were therefore considered incidental and of no toxicological relevance. Some significant changes were noted during clinical chemistry observation, however they could not be attributed to the administration of the test material due to the low magnitude of the changes, the lack of dose dependence, and/or the occurrence of the difference only at recovery Day 49. No target organ was identified. Therefore, based on the results of this study and under the conditions chosen, the NO(A)EL was set at 1000 mg/kg bw in males/females.
