Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
NOAEL was considered to be 940 mg/kg bw for P and F1 generation when Wistar female rats were treated with Acid Violet 43 orally by gavage through day 6-17 of gestation.

Executive summary:

In a reproductive toxicity study, Wistar female rats were treated with Acid Violet 43 in the concentration of0, 94, 282 or 940mg /kg bw/day through day 6-17 of gestation period by oral gavage. The test substance (in1%carboxymethylcellulose in water) was given daily at dose volumes of 10 ml/kg bw by oral gavage. Discoloured faeces were observed at 940 mg/kg bw/day. No mortality was observed in treated female rat. Similarly, at the does group of 94 mg /kg bw/day one female had only embryonic resorptions. At the dose group of 282 and 940 mg /kg bw/day two females were not pregnant, one female had only empty implantation sites and a further one only embryonic resorptions at Caesarean section. These findings were considered to be incidental as a dose relation was missing. In addition, No effect on foetuses weight and noexternal, soft tissue and skeletal anomalies were observed as compared to control. Therefore, NOAEL was considered to be 940 mg/kg bw for P and F1 generation whenWistar female rats were treated with Acid Violet 43 orally by gavage through day 6-17 of gestation.
