- PREPARATION OF DOSING SOLUTIONS:
The test substance was accurately weighed for each dose level and dissolved in the vehicle (purified water) with a measuring cylinder. The dosing solutions were prepared once every 4 to 8 days and stored in a refrigerator (actual value: 4.9 – 6.9°C, permissible range: 1 - 10°C) protected from light, up to 8 days. They were prepared under yellow light in the preparation room. - Analytical verification of doses or concentrations:
- yes
- Details on analytical verification of doses or concentrations:
- Confirmation of stability and homogeneity:
The dosing solutions of 2 and 200 mg/mL were confirmed to be stable and homogeneous for 8 days in a refrigerator protected from light in a validation study by GC method (study No. B050280) conducted at the test facility.
Confirmation of concentration:
The concentration of the test substance in each dosing solution was measured at the first and final preparation by GC method. In the results, the actual mean concentration of each dosing solution ranged from 92.0 to 108.5% of the nominal concentration (permissible range: 90 to 110%). Since the concentrations of 2 and 12 mg/mL dosing solutions deviated from the criterion, the dosing solutions were reprepared and analyzed. The results of the reprepared solutions met the criterion.
Analytical method of dosing solutions
Each dosing solution was analyzed according to the analytical method validated in the study entitled “Validation of Analytical Method of 1,3-BAC Concentration in Preparation” (study No. B050280) conducted at the test facility. - Duration of treatment / exposure:
- Males: Administration was conducted from 14 days before mating to the day before necropsy (including the mating period; 42 days in total).
Pregnant and maternal animals: Administration was conducted from 14 days before mating to Day 4 of lactation (including the mating period, gestation period, and delivery; the date of delivery was designated as Day 0 of lactation). In the non-delivered females, administration was conducted until the day before necropsy.
Recovery (satellite) females: Administration was conducted for 42 days without mating. - Frequency of treatment:

Recovery Period: Control and 300 mg/kg 5 males, 5 females - Control animals:
- yes, concurrent vehicle
- Details on study design:
- - Dose selection rationale: The dosing conditions are recommended in the OECD guidelines.10, 60, and 300 mg/kg
In the dose-range finding study (No. B050279), the test substance was dosed orally by gavage to 3 SD rats/sex/group at 0, 30, 100, 300, and 1000 mg/kg for 14 days. As a result, all animals died or sacrificed moribund at 1000 mg/kg. In the 300 mg/kg group, mucosal edema in the forestomach was noted in both sexes as a major toxic and treatment related change. There were no test substance related changes in any animals at 30 or 100 mg/kg.
In consideration of these results and duration of the study period, the high dose for this study was set at 300 mg/kg, at which obvious toxicity was expected. The middle and low doses were set at 60 and 10 mg/kg, respectively, with a common ratio of about 5. The control group receiving the vehicle (purified water) alone was also set.
- Rationale for animal assignment: Animals were assigned to the groups by stratified-by-weight randomization method based on the body weight on the day before the first administration to make the group mean body weights even. Forty-eight males and 58 females were used in this study.
- Rationale for selecting satellite groups:
- Post-exposure recovery period in satellite groups: Administration was conducted for 42 days without mating.
Examinations

Rearing, arousal, urination, defecation, posture/body position, breathing, co-ordination movement, gait, tremor, clonic convulsion, tonic convulsion, stereotypy, bizarre behavior
DETAILED CLINICAL OBSERVATIONS: Yes
- Time schedule: Clinical signs were observed twice a day (before and after dosing) during the dosing period, and once a day in the other periods
BODY WEIGHT: Yes
- Time schedule for examinations:
The test and recovery males were weighed on Days 1, 8, 15, 22, 29, 36, 42, and 43. The recovery males were also weighed on Days 50 and 56. The satellite females were weighed in the same manner as the test males. The test females were weighed on Days 1, 8, and 15, Days 0, 7, 14 and 20 of gestation, and Days 0 and 4 of lactation. Electronic balances (PB-3002-S: Mettler Toledo K.K., EB-3200S: Shimadzu Corporation) were used.
Body weight gains were calculated based on the values on Day 1 for all males and satellite females. For test females, body weight gains in the pre-mating, gestation, and lactation periods were calculated based on the values on Day 1, Day 0 of gestation, and Day 0 of lactation, respectively.
FOOD CONSUMPTION AND COMPOUND INTAKE (if feeding study):
- Food consumption for each animal determined and mean daily diet consumption calculated as g food/kg body weight/day: Yes
Food consumption was measured between Days 1 to 8, 8 to 15, 22 to 29, 29 to 36, 36 to 38, 43 to 50, 50 to 52 for the test and recovery males, and between Days 1 to 8, 8 to 15, 15 to 22, 22 to 29, 29 to 36, 36 to 42, 43 to 50, 50 to 56 for the satellite females. Food consumption of the test females was measured at the same time as body weights. However, food consumption was not measured for either sex during the mating period from Days 15 to 22. After the completion of copulation, the measurement for males was started from the nearest measurement day. An electronic balance (PB-3002-S: Mettler Toledo K.K.) was used for weighing. Gross weight of each feeder was weighed, and the mean daily food consumption of each animal was calculated for each period.

In the test groups, 5 test males were used in ascending order of animal number, and 5 test females with an earlier delivery date were used in ascending order of the animal number. As for recovery males and satellite females, all animals were used. At the scheduled necropsy, blood was collected from the posterior vena cava of the above mentioned animals under anesthesia by intraperitoneal injection of sodium thiopental (Nembutal®; Dainippon Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.). The blood samples were used for the following items. For items 9 and 10, plasma samples obtained after centrifugation of blood (at 12,000 rpm, about 12,000 g, at 4°C for 3 minutes) were mixed with 3.2 w/v% trisodium citrate and used. The blood samples treated with EDTA-2K were used for the other parameters.

Data were tabulated every 10 minutes from the start of the measurement to 1 hour after measurement.
- Sacrifice and pathology:
- GROSS PATHOLOGY: Yes
Pathological examinations
Organ weight
In the test group, the following organs were weighed in 5 males selected in ascending order of the animal number, and 5 females with an earlier delivery date selected in ascending order of the animal number (bilateral organs were weighed together). As for the recovery males and satellite females, the organs of all animals were weighed. The testes and epididymides were weighed for all males. Electronic balances (AW120: Shimadzu Corporation, AG-204: Mettler Toledo K.K.) were used for weighing. Body weights were measured on the day of necropsy and were used to calculate the relative organ weights (ratio to body weight). However, organ weights of the dead animal and non-delivered females were not weighed.
Brain, heart, liver, kidneys, adrenals, thymus, spleen, testes, epididymides
Necropsy
The animals subjected to the above examinations were euthanized after blood collection, by exsanguination from the abdominal aorta under anesthesia and subjected to necropsy. The non-delivered females were euthanized in the same manner, and subjected to necropsy 26 days after confirmation of copulation. The dead animal was necropsied immediately upon discovery.
HISTOPATHOLOGY: Yes
Histological examination
The following organs/tissues of all animals were removed and preserved in 10 vol% neutral phosphate-buffered formalin. The testes and epididymides except for those of dead animal were fixed in Bouin’s solution and preserved in 10 vol% neutral phosphate-buffered formalin.
Brain, pituitary, thymus, lymphnodes (mandibular and mesenteric), trachea, lungs, stomach, intestines (duodenum, jejunum, ileum, cecum, colon, rectum), thyroids and parathyroids (bilateral), heart, liver, spleen, kidneys (bilateral), adrenals (bilateral), urinary bladder, testes (bilateral), epididymides (bilateral), seminal vesicle including coagulating gland, prostate, ovaries (bilateral), uterus, vagina, bone marrow (femur, unilateral), sciatic nerve (unilateral), spinal cord, gross lesion
In the control and 300 mg/kg groups, the following organs/tissues were collected: the above-mentioned organs/tissues of 5 test males selected in ascending order of the animal number, and 5 test females with earlier delivery date selected in ascending order of the animal number, and dead animal. Gross lesions in all groups including the control were also collected. They were embedded in paraffin by standard method to prepare hematoxylin- and eosin-stained sections, and were examined by microscopy. Consequently, changes suggested to be test substance-related were noted in the stomach, duodenum, jejunum, ileum, and adrenals of both sexes, and testes and epididymides of males. Therefore, these organs were examined microscopically in 5 animals of both sexes in the 10 and 60 mg/kg groups which were selected in the above-mentioned manner, and in all recovery animals. - Other examinations:
- Observation and examination items for reproductive/developmental toxicity:
Examination on reproductive function:
Estrus cycle:
From the first day of administration to the first day of mating, vaginal smears of all test females of each group were sampled in the morning and examined for estrus cycle. The mean estrus cycle and incidence of females with irregular estrus cycle (with the period of other than 4 to 6 days) were calculated.
Mating:
Male and female rats were cohabited day and night on a one-to-one basis from Day 15 (initial day of mating) for the maximum of 14 days. From the day after the initial day of mating, vaginal smears were collected every day in the morning, and examined for the presence of sperm. Copulation was confirmed by the presence of a vaginal plug or sperm in the vaginal smears. The day on which evidence of copulation was found was designated as Day 0 of gestation. Based on the results, the following parameters were calculated.
(1) Days until copulation: Number of days from the start of mating to the detection of copulation
(2) Number of estrus stages without copulation
(3) Copulation index (%): (Number of animals with successful copulation/Number of animals cohabited) × 100
(4) Fertility index (%): (Number of pregnant animals/Number of animals with successful copulation) × 100
Observation during delivery and lactation:
All copulated females were allowed natural delivery. The observation of delivery was conducted twice daily (9:00 and 16:00) from Days 21 to 25 of gestation. The delivery completed by 9:00 was judged as a delivery on the corresponding day (the delivery day was regarded as Day 0 of lactation). The animals that completed delivery by 16:00 were observed for lactation the next day (the day after delivery was regarded as Day 0 of lactation). The females that did not deliver by 25 days after copulation were regarded as non-delivered females. The delivered animals (dams) were allowed to nurse new born infants until day 4 postpartum (Day 4 of lactation), and postpartum behavior such as lactation, nesting, and presence or absence of cannibalism was observed every day.
Observation after lactation:
At necropsy, the ovary and uterus of dams were removed and examined for the numbers of corpora lutea and implantations. Non-delivered females were examined in the same manner to detect implantation sites. Uterus without visible implantation sites was immersed in a 10 vol% ammonium sulfide solution to detect implantation sites. Non-delivered female with no implantation site was regarded as non-pregnant female. Based on the results, the following parameters were calculated.
(1)Gestation length: Days until completion of delivery from Day 0 of gestation
(2)Delivery index (%): (Number of pregnant animals delivered live offspring/Number of pregnant animals) × 100
(3)Implantation index (%): (Number of implantations/Number of corpora lutea) × 100
(4)Gestation index (%): (Total number of delivered offspring/Number of implantations) × 100
Observation and examination items for offspring:
Observation of offspring:
The number of delivered offspring (numbers of live offspring and stillborns), sex, and the presence or absence of external anomalies was examined on Day 0 of postpartum. Thereafter, clinical signs and mortality were observed daily. Based on the results, the following parameters were calculated.
(1)Live birth index (%): (Number of live offspring at birth/Total number of delivered offspring at birth) × 100
(2)Viability index on Day 4 (%): (Number of live offspring on Day 4/Number of live offspring at birth) × 100
Body weights:
All live offspring were weighed individually on days 0 and 4 postpartum. An electronic balance (PB3002-S: Mettler Toledo K.K.) was used for weighing. Moreover, the body weight gain between days 0 and 4 postpartum was calculated from the litter mean weight.
Necropsy:
External anomaly including that in the oral cavity was examined, and the offspring were euthanized in the same manner as the parental animals, and necropsied. Dead offspring except for those cannibalized were immersed and fixed in 10 vol% neutral phosphate-buffered formalin, and necropsied under a stereomicroscope. - Statistics:
- Statistical analyses were performed on the items listed below. They were not conducted on the clinical observations, behavioral results (detailed clinical observations, sensory reactivity to stimuli), or necropsy findings.
Multiple comparison test: Body weights, body weight gain, food consumption, hematology, blood chemistry, organ weights, behavioral test (grip strength and motor activity), number of corpora lutea, number of implantations, number of delivered offspring (numbers of live offspring and stillborns)
Kruskal-Wallis test and Dunnett-type multiple comparison test: Urinalysis (pH, protein, glucose, ketones, bilirubin, occult blood, urobilinogen), days until copulation, number of estrus stages without copulation, mean estrus cycle, gestation length, implantation index, gestation index, live birth index, incidence of offspring with external anomaly, viability index on Day 4
Wilcoxon’s rank sum test: Histopathological findings
Fisher’s exact probability test: Incidence of females with irregular estrus cycle, copulation index, fertility index, delivery index, sex ratio (male/female), incidence of dams with externally anormal offspring

- CLINICAL SIGNS AND MORTALITY
One male (animal No. 00405) in the 300 mg/kg group was found dead. The animal showed irregular respiration and rale from 3 days before the death, decreases in locomotor activity, ptosis, and abnormal fur on the day before death, and died on Day 25 of dosing.
Salivation was sporadically observed in the 300 mg/kg group (11 males and 16 females) during the dosing period.
Rale and a decrease in locomotor activity were noted in 1 female at 300 mg/kg (animal No. 50409) during the gestation period, and a decrease in locomotor activity was noted continuously in this animal during the lactation period.
Loss of teeth was observed in 1 satellite female of the control group; however, it recovered 3 days later. No test substance-related abnormalities were noted in either sex at 10 or 60 mg/kg.
Salivation disappeared in the recovery males and satellite females at 300 mg/kg by termination of administration.
BODY WEIGHT AND WEIGHT GAIN
Body weight gain suppression was noted in males at 300 mg/kg from Days 8 to 42. During the recovery period, it was comparable to that of the control group, indicating reversibility.
There were no significant differences from the control group in males receiving 10 or 60 mg/kg or test substance-treated females.
FOOD CONSUMPTION
Decrease in food consumption was noted in females and satellite females at 300 mg/kg on Day 7 of gestation and Day 22, respectively; however, the change was transient. The food consumption of males in the 300 mg/kg group was slightly lower than that of the control group; however, no significant differences were noted.
There were no significant differences from the control group in either sexes receiving 10 or 60 mg/kg during the dosing period or in any animals during the recovery period.
HAEMATOLOGY
Increased reticulocyte ratio and increasing tendency of white blood cell count were noted in males at 300 mg/kg at the end of the dosing period.
Increased platelet count and decreased segmented neutrophils were noted in males at 300 mg/kg at the end of the recovery period; however, since there were no differences at the end of dosing period, it was considered to be an incidental change.
In females, there were no significant differences from the control group at the end of the dosing or recovery period.
CLINICAL CHEMISTRY
Decreased total protein was noted in males and increased ALAT (GPT) activity was noted in females in the 300 mg/ kg group at the end of the dosing period. ALP activity in females at 300 mg/kg showed increasing tendency at the end of the dosing period, and showed increases at the end of the recovery period.
Moreover, increased glucose and triglyceride were noted in males at 10 mg/kg, and decreased ASAT (GOT) activity was noted in females at 60 mg/kg at the end of the dosing period. However, since the changes were not dose-dependent, they were considered to be incidental.
URINALYSIS (male)
Negative results of protein and ketones increased at 300 mg/kg. However, since they were not positive (toxic) changes, they were judged to be incidental.
NEUROBEHAVIOUR
No test substance-related changes were noted in either sex during the dosing period.
ORGAN WEIGHTS
Increased absolute and relative adrenal weights were noted in males, and increased relative weights of kidney and adrenal were noted in females at 300mg/kg at the end of the dosing period. Increasing tendency in absolute adrenal weight and increased relative adrenal weight were noted in males at 300 mg/kg at the end of the recovery period.
Increased absolute liver weight was noted in females at 300 mg/kg at the end of the recovery period; however, since there were no changes in males at 300 mg/kg at the end of the dosing period, it was considered to be an incidental change.
There were no significant differences from the control group in either sex at 10 or 60 mg/kg.
GROSS PATHOLOGY
HISTOPATHOLOGY: NON-NEOPLASTIC
Changes considered attributed to the test substance were noted in the stomach of both sexes and in the testes and epididymis of males at 300 mg/kg. They are shown in the table below.
In the stomach, focal squamous cell hyperplasia and hyperkeratosis and focal inflammatory cell infiltration were noted in the forestomach in all males and females at 300 mg/kg. The changes in 5 males and 9 females were accompanied by ulcer of the forestomach. Minimal focal squamous cell hyperplasia of the forestomach was noted in all males and females, and minimal focal inflammatory cell infiltration of the forestomach was noted in 3 males and 2 females in the 300 mg/kg group at the necropsy after the recovery period. However, their grades were less than those in the animals necropsied after the dosing period.
In the testis, atrophy of the seminiferous tubule was noted in 4 males at 300 mg/kg and in 2 males at 10 mg/kg. The change noted in 1 of the 4 males at 300 mg/kg was severe, and was accompanied by diffuse hyperplasia of interstitial cells. The atrophy of the seminiferous tubule noted at 10 mg/kg was minimal, and the change was not noted at 60 mg/kg. Accordingly, atrophy of the seminiferous tubule noted at 10 mg/kg was judged to be spontaneous. In 1 of the 5 animals receiving 300 mg/kg, atrophy of the seminiferous tubule was noted at the end of the recovery period.
In the duct of epididymis, cell debris was noted in 2 males, decreased sperm in 2 males, and atrophy in 1 male at 300 mg/kg. The changes in the epididymis were related to the pathological lesions of the testis, and were not noted at the end of the recovery period.
Besides, a variety of pathological changes were noted in each group including the control at the end of the dosing and recovery periods. However, these changes were not considered to be test substance-related, since there were no significant differences in their incidence among the groups and they develop nonspecifically in rats.
In the dead animal, the following changes were noted: focal squamous cell hyperplasia of the forestomach, focal inflammatory cell infiltration of the forestomach, hemorrhage in the glandular stomach, atrophy of the spleen, congestion and edema of the lung, atrophy of the thymus, and incidental cyst of the kidney.
OTHER FINDINGS
Necropsy findings
The following findings were noted at the scheduled necropsy: thickening of the forestomach wall in both sexes, ulcer of forestomach mucosa, or adhesion of the liver and forestomach in 1 female each in the 300 mg/kg group. The changes in the reproductive system were small testes and epididymides in 2 males (animal No. 00403: bilateral, No. 00406: unilateral) receiving 300 mg/kg. These changes were not noted in the animals necropsied at the end of the recovery period.
In the dead animal, dark reddish change of glandular stomach mucosa, tarry abnormal contents in the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum, and dilatation of the ileum and cecum were noted. In addition, dark reddish changes of the thymus and lung, and small spleen were noted in the dead animal.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- The no observed effect level of 1,3-Cyclohexanedimethanamine for repeated dose toxicity was considered to be 60 mg/kg/day in both sexes, based on the following major toxicological changes noted at 300 mg/kg: death of male, suppressed body weight gain in males, salivation in both sexes, effects on the forestomach in both sexes, and effects on the testes and epididymides. These changes disappeared or tended to recover during the 2-week recovery period.
- Executive summary:
To assess the repeated dose oral toxicity and reproductive/developmental toxicity,1,3 -Cyclohexanedimethanamine was dosed to both sexes of SD rats [Crl:CD(SD)] at 10, 60, and 300 mg/kg. In addition, the reversibility of the induced toxic changes was evaluated. The male rats were dosed from 14 days before mating to the day before necropsy (including the mating period; 42 days in total), and the female rats were dosed from 14 days before mating to Day 4 of lactation (including the mating period, gestation period, and delivery). Each test group consisted of 12 males (recovery animals included) and 12 females (5 females each were added for recovery test in the control and 300 mg/kg groups). The control group received the vehicle (purified water) only.
As major toxicological changes, the following changes were noted at 300 mg/kg: death of a male, suppressed body weight gain in males, salivation in both sexes. In the histological examination, focal squamous epithelial hyperplasia and keratosis, focal inflammatory cell infiltration, and ulcer were found in the forestomach in both sexes, and atrophy of the seminiferous tubule was found in males. Besides, the following changes were also noted at 300 mg/kg: increased reticulocyte and white blood cell counts and decreased total protein in males, increased ALAT (GPT) and ALP activities in females, increased absolute and relative adrenal weights in males, and increased relative kidney and adrenal weights in females. These changes disappeared in the 2-week recovery period or tended to recover. There were no test substance effects including neurologic symptoms in the detailed clinical observation, functional test, or motor activity observation.
In conclusion, the no observed effect level of 1,3-Cyclohexanedimethanaminefor repeated dose toxicity was considered to be 60 mg/kg/day in both sexes.
