PREPARATION OF DOSING SOLUTIONS:
A daily record of the usage of formulation was maintained based on weights. This balance was compared with the expected usage as a check of correct administration. No significant discrepancy was found. Formulations were stirred using a magnetic stirrer before and throughout the dosing procedure.
An approximate volume of test formulation (1 mL, accurately weighed) was dissolved with the aid of swirling in a suitable volume of diluent. Where necessary the extract was diluted using diluent and a suitable volume of internal standard was added to the final dilution, to provide a solution containing the test item at an expected concentration within the range 40 µg/mL to 80 µg/mL.
The concentration of the test item in the final solution was quantified by GC using flame ionisation detection as detailed in the chromatographic section.

Results and discussion

Results: P0 (first parental generation)

General toxicity (P0)

Clinical signs:
effects observed, treatment-related
Description (incidence and severity):
One female (No. 60) receiving 450 mg/kg/day was humanely killed, following the death of her litter on Day 5 of age.
Microscopic examination of the mammary tissue of the adult revealed reduced secretory activity.
Dermal irritation (if dermal study):
not examined
Mortality:
mortality observed, non-treatment-related
Description (incidence):
One female (No. 80) receiving 105 mg/kg/day Approximately five hours later, after treatment, the animal was found in respiratory distress (gasping) and had a red stained muzzle; one pup had been cannibalised. The female was considered to be in poor clinical condition andwas euthanized on welfare grounds at pre-Day 1 of lactation.
Macroscopic examination revealed fetal material or dark contents in the mouth, oesophagus, stomach, ileum, jejunum, lungs and bronchi and clear aerated fluid in the nasal turbinates and trachea; two placentas were found in the uterus. The cause of death was considered due to aspiration of fetal material and therefore not related to administration of the test item.

One female (No. 60) receiving 450 mg/kg/day was humanely killed, following the death of her litter on Day 5 of age.
Microscopic examination of the mammary tissue of the adult revealed reduced secretory activity
Body weight and weight changes:
effects observed, non-treatment-related
Description (incidence and severity):
When compared with Control, overall body weight gain (Week 0-5) was marginally low, or low, in males treated at 105 or 450 mg/kg/day (91 or 80%, respectively). The body weight gain of males previously treated at 450 mg/kg/day was higher (162%) than Control, during the two week off-dose period.
Body weight gain in un-mated females and females during gestation and lactation were unaffected by treatment.
Food consumption and compound intake (if feeding study):
no effects observed
Description (incidence and severity):
Food consumption of males was considered to be unaffected by treatment.
Food intake of unmated females at 450 mg/kg/day was low (85%) during the first week of treatment, when compared with Control; however there was no adverse effect on body weight gain.
Food efficiency:
not specified
Water consumption and compound intake (if drinking water study):
not examined
Ophthalmological findings:
not examined
Haematological findings:
effects observed, non-treatment-related
Description (incidence and severity):
Investigation of the cellular constituents of the blood in Week 5 and when compared with Control, indicated mild anaemia in treated males, but not in non-mated females treated at 450 mg/kg/day. Haematocrit, haemoglobin concentration and red cell count at 25, 105 or 450 mg/kg/day were all marginally low (94, 95 or 91%; 95, 94 or 90% and 92, 95 or 90%, respectively) and reticulocyte count at 105 or 450 mg/kg/day was marginally high (114 or 128%, respectively). In females, haemoglobin concentration was marginally low (92%), on Day 8 of lactation. Activated partial thromboplastin time was slightly short in males and non-mated females receiving 450 mg/kg/day (88% and 92%, respectively) and was short (87%) on Day 8 of lactation.
All other differences were minor, confined to one sex and included high lymphocyte count in males at 450 mg/kg/day (134%) and low mean cell volume in females at the same dose (92%).
Following two weeks respite from treatment, all parameters affected during treatment were comparable with Control and therefore showed full recovery
Description (incidence and severity):
The biochemical examination of the blood plasma in males and non-mated females in Week 5 and on Day 8 of lactation did not identify any toxicologically significant differences from Control that were clearly attributable to treatment.
All differences were confined to males. Such differences included the low triglyceride concentration at 105 or 450 mg/kg/day (72 or 56%) and low phosphorous concentration (80%), in which all individual values were lower than the Control range. Further investigation of these parameters, following two weeks respite from treatment, showed that the values were comparable with Control.
Urinalysis findings:
effects observed, non-treatment-related
Description (incidence and severity):
Investigation of the composition of the urine in Week 5 and when compared with Control, revealed high protein, glucose, sodium, potassium and chloride concentrations in males treated at 105 or 450 mg/kg/day and in females at 450 mg/kg/day.
Urinary volume was high in males and females treated at 450 mg/kg/day (165% or 193%, respectively) and pH was low in males treated at 25, 105 or 450 mg/kg/day (85, 85 or 77%, respectively).
Unfortunately, as the urinary volume was not recorded at the recovery phase investigation; the concentration of these parameters, relative to urinary output cannot be presented.
However, the data shows that concentrations of protein, glucose, sodium and potassium were comparable with Control, following two weeks respite from treatment. It was considered that chloride concentration would show similar recovery
Behaviour (functional findings):
no effects observed
Description (incidence and severity):
It was considered that there was no effect of treatment at any dose on sensory reactivity and grip strength or motor activity.
Immunological findings:
not specified
Organ weight findings including organ / body weight ratios:
not specified
Histopathological findings: non-neoplastic:
effects observed, treatment-related
Description (incidence and severity):
Findings considered to be related to treatment were seen in the skin.
Slight to moderate epidermal ulceration and/or necrosis and dermal inflammation were seen in four males receiving 450 mg/kg/day and one receiving 105 mg/kg/day, all of which correlated with findings seen at necropsy. In all cases, these changes were associated with one or more inflammatory and/or degenerative changes, including scabs, subcutaneous inflammation, epidermal hyperplasia, myofibre degeneration/necrosis of the panniculus carnosus, and dermal/subcutaneous oedema.
The toxicological significance of these changes is unclear.
Histopathological findings: neoplastic:
not examined
Other effects:
effects observed, treatment-related
Description (incidence and severity):
The toxicological significance of the changes in the skin is unclear, as it was only evident in males and not females.

Reproductive function / performance (P0)

Reproductive function: oestrous cycle:
no effects observed
Description (incidence and severity):
It was considered that estrous cycles were not affected by treatment.
One animal receiving 25 mg/kg/day (No. 106) and two animals receiving 450 mg/kg/day (No’s 53 and 58) had irregular oestrus cycles and all other animals showed regular 4 or 5 day cycles; however, it was considered that there was no relationship with treatment.
Similar proportions of toxicity phase females in the Control and 450 mg/kg/day groups showed oestrus at the end of the treatment period and the pattern of recorded cycle stages suggested that animals were cycling normally
Reproductive function: sperm measures:
not examined
Reproductive performance:
no effects observed
Description (incidence and severity):
Pre-coital interval was not affected by treatment.
One Control female (No. 82) and one female receiving 450 mg/kg/day (No. 53) mated at the second oestrus occasion after pairing, all other females mated at the first oestrus occasion.
Mating performance and fertility was not affected by treatment.
The gestation length of all animals was within acceptable limits (22-23.5 days). All animals were pregnant.

Details on results (P0)

At 450 mg/kg/day: all or the majority of males and females, underactive behavior, with or without piloerection and/or partially closed eyelids that persisted in some at the end of the day; body temperature was noted to be low, following the first dose in females and the food intake of females only was low during the first week of treatment.

Overall male body weight gain during treatment was marginally low at 105 or 450 mg/kg/day and showed good, but partial recovery at the end of the recovery period; female body weight gain was unaffected. One male at 405 mg/kg/day was found with noisy respiration and piloerection on Day 21.
At the end of the treatment period, there was evidence of mild anaemia in treated males and activated partial thromboplastin time was slightly short in males and non-mated females and females with a litter and urinary protein, glucose, sodium, potassium and chloride concentrations were high in males and females treated at 450 mg/kg/day and in males at 105 mg/kg/day. All haematological and urinary parameters showed full recovery, following two weeks respite from treatment and there were no microscopic findings.
It was considered that there was no effect of treatment at any dose on sensory reactivity and grip strength or motor activity or food intake or on the biochemistry of the blood and there was no effect on estrous cycles (before pairing or immediately before termination (non-mated females)), pre-coital interval, mating performance, fertility or gestation length.
One female treated at 450 mg/kg/day was killed on Day 5 of lactation, following the death of her litter and microscopic examination revealed reduced secretory activity of the mammary glands, but in the absence of increased pup mortality in other litters no definite effect of treatment was inferred and one female treated at 105 mg/kg/day was killed shortly after littering, following aspiration of fetal material, again this death was considered not to be related with treatment.

The toxicological significance of the changes in the skin is unclear, as it was only evident in males and not females.
