Results and discussion
Results of examinations
- Clinical signs:
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- Salivation seen after dosing among animals at 50 mg/kg and higher was not considered toxicologically relevant, taking into account the nature and minor severity of the effect and its time of occurrence (i.e. after dosing). This sign was considered to be a physiological response related to taste of the test item rather than a sign of systemic toxicity.
Swelling of the chest was noted for one female at 500 mg/kg from Week 5 of treatment onwards. This was considered to be related to the presence several black-brown, hard nodules in the subcutis of the axillary region at necropsy. At microscopic examination this was diagnosed as an adenocarcinoma of the mammary gland. Adenocarcinomas of the mammary gland can be seen as a spontaneous tumor in young female Wistar (Han) rats and this single incidence is regarded unrelated to the treatment with IFF 05-0293. - Mortality:
- no mortality observed
- Body weight and weight changes:
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- The higher body weight gain of females at 50 mg/kg over Days 1-8 of the premating period and of females at 50 mg/kg and higher over Days 1-4 of the lactation period were considered not to represent an effect of treatment. No dose-related trend was apparent, and control weight gain of females during lactation was considered to be slightly low compared to values expected for rats of this age and strain.
- Food consumption and compound intake (if feeding study):
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- The higher absolute and relative food intake of females at 50 mg/kg over Days 1-4 of the lactation period occurred in the absence of a dose-related trend and was therefore considered to be unrelated to treatment.
- Food efficiency:
- not examined
- Water consumption and compound intake (if drinking water study):
- no effects observed
- Ophthalmological findings:
- not examined
- Haematological findings:
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- Any statistically significant changes in haematology parameters were considered to be unrelated to treatment as they occurred in the absence of a dose-related trend.
- Clinical biochemistry findings:
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- The following statistically significant changes in clinical biochemistry parameters distinguished treated animals from control animals:
− Higher total protein in males at 50, 150 and 500 mg/kg (no dose-related trend).
− Higher creatinine in males at 500 mg/kg.
− Higher calcium in males at 500 mg/kg.
− Higher chloride in females at 500 mg/kg.
Any other statistically significant changes in clinical biochemistry parameters were considered
unrelated to treatment as they occurred in the absence of a dose-related trend. - Urinalysis findings:
- not examined
- Behaviour (functional findings):
- no effects observed
- Immunological findings:
- not examined
- Organ weight findings including organ / body weight ratios:
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- Statistically significant higher liver weights were noted in males at 150 and 500 mg/kg bw/d (absolute and relative to body weight) and in females at 500 mg/kg bw/d (relative to body weight). Mean relative liver weights were approximately 32% and 15% higher than the control mean at 500 mg/kg bw/d for males and females, respectively. At 150 mg/kg bw/d, mean relative liver weight of males was approximately 17% higher than the control mean.
Statistically significant higher adrenal gland weights were present in males (absolute and relative to body weight) at 150 and 500 mg/kg bw/d. Mean relative adrenal gland weight was approximately 29% higher than the control mean at both dose levels.
All other organ weight differences observed, including those that reached statistical significance, were considered incidental and unrelated to the administration of the test substance. - Gross pathological findings:
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- The recorded macroscopic findings were within the range of background findings encountered in rats of this age and strain, and did not show a dose-related incidence trend. These necropsy findings were therefore considered to be unrelated to treatment.
- Neuropathological findings:
- not examined
- Histopathological findings: non-neoplastic:
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- Test item-related microscopic findings were present in the thyroid gland (males), liver (both sexes), kidneys (males) and adrenal glands (females):
− Thyroid gland: Hypertrophy of follicular cells was recorded at a slightly increased severity in males at 150 and 500 mg/kg bw/d.
− Liver: Hepatocellular hypertrophy was recorded up to a slight degree in males and females starting at 150 mg/kg bw/d.
− Kidneys (males): An increased incidence and severity of hyaline droplet accumulation was recorded in males starting at 50 mg/kg bw/d. This was accompanied by a slightly increased severity of tubular basophilia at 500 mg/kg bw/d and with granular casts in one male at 50 mg/kg bw/d and two males at 500 mg/kg bw/d.
− Adrenal glands (females): An increased incidence and severity (up to slight degree) of vacuolation of the zona glomerulosa was recorded in females at 500 mg/kg bw/d.
There were no other test item-related histologic changes. Remaining histologic changes were considered to be incidental findings. There was no test item related alteration in the prevalence, severity, or histologic character of those incidental tissue alterations. - Histopathological findings: neoplastic:
- no effects observed

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- For IFF 05-0293 a parental NOAEL for systemic effects of 500 mg/kg bw/d was derived, based on the absence of test substance related effects up to and including the highest dose tested.
- Executive summary:
IFF 05-0293 was administered via oral gavage to male and female Wistar Han rats at doses of 50, 150 and 500 mg/kg bw/d in corn oil (10 rats/sex/dose level) according to OECD 422 Guideline. Concurrent controls (10 rats/sex) received the vehicle. Males were exposed for 29 days, i.e. 2 weeks prior to mating, during mating, and up to termination. Females were exposed for 40-53 days, i.e. during 2 weeks prior to mating, during mating, during postcoitum, and during at least 4 days of lactation. Accuracy, homogeneity and stability of formulations were demonstrated by analyses.
No mortality or toxicologically related clinical signs were noted. No treatment-related effects on body weight, food consumption, functional behaviour, haematology, and macroscopy were observed.
An adverse histopathological lesion was recorded in the kidneys of males in all treatment groups. In these males, an increased incidence and severity (up to slight) of hyaline droplet accumulation was noted. The hyaline droplet accumulation was considered to likely represent alpha-2u-globulin, a normal protein in male rats which undergoes reabsorption in the proximal cortical tubules. A range of chemicals is known to increase hyaline droplet formation leading ultimately to proximal cortical tubule cell injury as manifested by formation of granular casts and increased tubular basophilia. This male rat specific protein is not present in female rats nor in higher mammals, including man. In this study the increased hyaline droplet accumulation in males was accompanied by indicators of renal tubular damage in the form of granular casts at minimal to slight degree (50 and 500 mg/kg bw/d). This combination of findings was considered to be non-adverse.
Histopathology showed a minimal or slight hepatocellular hypertrophy of the centrilobular areas of the liver for both sexes at 150 and 500 mg/kg bw/d. This histopathological observation was accompanied by higher liver weights in males at 150 mg/kg bw/d (relative weight approximately 17% higher) and in males and females at 500 mg/kg bw/d(relative weight approximately 32% and 15% higher, respectively). These findings occurred without any degenerative histopathological changes or corroborative changes in clinical biochemistry parameters and were therefore considered to be an adaptive, non-adverse finding. Other histopathological changes that were considered to be related to treatment but were considered not adverse in nature were recorded in the adrenal and thyroid glands. Follicular cell hypertrophy as recorded in the thyroid gland of males at 150 and 500 mg/kg bw/d with a minor increase in severity (slight degree) was regarded to be an adaptive change and considered to be non-adverse at the incidences and severities recorded. An increased incidence and severity of vacuolation of the zona glomerulosa of the adrenal glands was seen in females at 500 mg/kg bw/d. Given the slight nature of vacuolation of the zona glomerulosa of the adrenal glands, and absence of any degenerative findings, this was considered to be non-adverse. Additionally, higher adrenal gland weights were present in the opposite sex at 150 and 500 mg/kg bw/d, and were approximately 29% higher at both dose levels. In absence of any morphological support, the higher adrenal gland weight was considered not adverse in nature. Statistically significant changes in clinical biochemistry parameters consisted of higher total protein in males at 50 mg/kg bw/d and higher, higher creatinine and calcium in males at 500 mg/kg bw/d and higher chloride in females at 500 mg/kg bw/d. These changes were considered not toxicologically relevant since no (clear) dose-related trend was noted, changes were generally minor in nature (within the range considered normal for rats of this age and strain), and no apparent relation to morphological lesions described above was seen.
Based on these results a parental NOAEL for systemic effects of 500 mg/kg bw/d was derived.
