Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- There were no deaths throughout the study period, there was no change in general condition, body weight, food consumption, and toxicological changes due to test substance administration were not observed in hematology, blood biochemistry, urinalysis, and pathology result. In the urinalysis, the pH of the 1000 mg / kg / day group of females showed an alkaline change during the administration period. Alkaline urine is generally found in metabolic and respiratory alkalosis, renal H + excretion due to renal failure and pyelonephritis. However, this change was within the range of the laboratory's background data, and no pathological changes were observed suggesting renal damage.Therefore, the NOAEL after repeated oral administration to rats was concluded to be at least 1000 mg / kg / day for both males and females.
- Executive summary:
A 28 day repeated dose oral toxicity of the test chemical was determined in Sprague Dawley rats. The study was performed in accordance with Guidelines for 28 Day Repeat Dose Toxicity Testing for Chemicals (Japan). Male and female SD rats (Crj: CD, SPF) obtained from Charles River Japan Co., Ltd. were quarantined and acclimatized for 8 days and used for the test. Prior to the start of treatment, animals were divided into groups by weight-based stratified random sampling. The number of animals in each group was 6 males and 6 females, and for the control and high-dose groups, a recovery group of 14 males and 6 females was established. The age at the start of administration was 5 weeks for both males and females, and the body weight range was 165 to 190 g for males and 129 to 153 g for females. The dosing solution was prepared by suspending the test substance in 0.5% carboxymethylcellulose / sodium solution containing 0.1% Tween80 and refrigerated. The test substance in the administration solution was stable for at least 8 days under refrigerated storage conditions. As a result of repeated oral administration of the test substance to SD rats at doses of 500 and 1000 mg / kg for 7 days, no change in toxicity was observed in the 1000 mg / kg group. Therefore, in this study, the high dose was set at 1000 mg / kg, the upper limit of the guideline, and the medium dose was set at 140 mg / kg and the low dose was set at 20 mg / kg. The test substance was orally administered by gavage once a day for 28 days using a stomach tube. The dosing volume was 10 ml/kg and was calculated based on the body weight of the closest measurement day. The solvent was similarly administered to the control group. The treated and control animals were observed for changes in General condition observation, detailed clinical observation, body weight, food intake, urinalysis (male only), hematology examination, blood biochemistry examination, autopsy, organ examination. There were no deaths throughout the study period, there was no change in general condition, body weight, food consumption, and toxicological changes due to test substance administration were not observed in hematology, blood biochemistry, urinalysis, and pathology result. In the urinalysis, the pH of the 1000 mg / kg / day group of females showed an alkaline change during the administration period. Alkaline urine is generally found in metabolic and respiratory alkalosis, renal H + excretion due to renal failure and pyelonephritis. However, this change was within the range of the laboratory's background data, and no pathological changes were observed suggesting renal damage.Therefore, the NOAEL after repeated oral administration to rats was concluded to be at least 1000 mg / kg / day for both males and females.
