- - Dose selection rationale:
A preliminary experiment was carried out on 15 fertilized rats each for the vehicle control and the dose group (3000 mg/kg d). The test material was suspended in a mixture of distilled water and polyethylene glycol 400 (1:1) and administered orally by intubation from day 6 until day 15 of pregnancy, inclusive. Treatment at this 3000 mg/kg dose level caused no depression in either food consumption or body-weight gain of the mother animals. Apart from a reduced body weight no adverse effects were recorded for the progeny at sacrifice shortly before term in comparison with the vehicle control. On the basis of the foregoing results the doses for the main stpdy were selected at 0, 500, 1500 and 3000 mg/kg of body weight

Results and discussion
Results: maternal animals
Maternal developmental toxicity
- Details on maternal toxic effects:
- With regard to the vehicle control and in accordance with the results of the preliminary experiment, neither food consumption nor body-weight gain was altered in the experimental groups.
Female No. 78 (3000 mg/kg d) died spontaneously on day 7 p.c. (i.e. after one application) likely in consequence of an intubation error.
Effect levels (maternal animals)
- Dose descriptor:

- Effect level:
- 3 000 mg/kg bw/day (actual dose received)
- Based on:
- test mat.
- Basis for effect level:
- other: No adverse effects recorded
Results (fetuses)
- Details on embryotoxic / teratogenic effects:
- The pregnancy rates expressed as average number ot implantation sites per female were comparable for all groups in the present experiment. The numbers of embryonic and/or foetal deaths (resorptions) were not increased at either dose.
The male to female ratios of the foetuses were also comparable for all groups. In comparison with the vehicle control, the average body-weight of the live foetuses was not diminished at either dose. Fusion of placentas, the implantation sites consisting of a embryonic resorption and a poorly developed male foetus, respectively, was noted for one female (No. 48) of the 500 mg/kg group.
The gross inspection of the live foetuses revealed one foetus with omphalocele in the low-dose group. Carrying out the slicing technique for "visceral" examination, dilatation of the renal pelvis (unilateral) was found in one foetus of the vehicle control. These instances are considered to be of a spontaneous origin and not related to the treatment.
The skeletal assessment revealed instances of irregular sternebral ossification in the dose groups and in the vehicle control; abnormal "wide suture" was found in one foetus of the high-dose group, in addition. Concerning the status of skeletal maturation of the foetuses shortly before term, a slight delay in ossification of the phalangeal nuclei of the hind-limbs was recorded for the high-dose group in comparison with the vehicle control; this finding, however, is not assumed to be of experimental significance.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- The test substance was devoid of an enbryotoxic potential and did not reveal teratogenic potency in the rat under the present experimental conditions.
- Executive summary:
A developmental toxicity/teratogenicity study according OECD TG 414 was performed (Ciba-Geigy, 1983). 24 female rats were mated, and treated with 500, 1500, and 3000 mg test substance/kg body weight once daily on day 6 -15 p.c. On gestation day 21 the animals were sacrificed. Dams were observed for clinical signs, behavior, body weight and food consumption. After sacrifice ovaries and uterus (mucosa and contents, including amniotic fluid and placentae as well as abortions and resorption sites) were examined. In the fetuses external examinations, soft tissue examinations, and skeletal examinations were conducted. Neither food consumption nor body-weight gain was altered in the experimental groups. The pregnancy rates expressed as average number of implantation sites per female were comparable for all groups in the present experiment. The numbers of embryonic and/or fetal deaths (resorptions) were not increased at either dose. The male to female ratios of the fetuses were also comparable for all groups. In comparison with the vehicle control, the average body-weight of the live fetuses was not diminished at either dose. The gross inspection of the live fetuses revealed one fetus with omphalocele in the low-dose group. Dilatation of the renal pelvis (unilateral) was found in one fetus of the vehicle control. The skeletal assessment revealed instances of irregular sternebral ossification in the dose groups and in the vehicle control; abnormal" wide suture" was found in one fetus of the high-dose group, in addition. Concerning the status of skeletal maturation of the fetuses shortly before term, a slight delay in ossification of the phalangeal nuclei of the hind-limbs was recorded for the high-dose group in comparison with the vehicle control; this finding, however, is not assumed to be of experimental significance.
In summary, the test article was devoid of an embryotoxic activity and did not reveal teratogenic potency in the rat under the present experimental conditions.
