General toxicity (P0)

Clinical signs:
not specified
Dermal irritation (if dermal study):
not specified
Mortality:
no mortality observed
Description (incidence):
No mortality were observed in treated male and female rats as compared to control.
Body weight and weight changes:
no effects observed
Description (incidence and severity):
Decreased weight gain during the treatment period was observed in treated female rats as compared to control.

Although maternal body weights in all treatment groups were within 5% of control values at all gestational ages, maternal weight gain during the treatment period in the 800 mg/kg/day group was significantly reduced.
Food consumption and compound intake (if feeding study):
no effects observed
Description (incidence and severity):
Food consumption was initially suppressed by both 400 and 800 mg/kg/day. But recovered to control levels by the end of the treatment period. No effect on food consumption was seen at 100 mg/kg/day CAM.
Food efficiency:
not specified
Water consumption and compound intake (if drinking water study):
effects observed, treatment-related
Description (incidence and severity):
Increased maternal water consumption during one or more of the following measurement periods (gd 6 to 9; gd 12 to 15; gd 15 to 18) were observed

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
NOAEL was considered to be 800 mg/kg bw for P and F1 generation when Sprague Dawley and female rats were treated with D-Camphor orally by gavage for 10 days (gd 6-15).
Executive summary:

In a Developmental Toxicity study, Sprague Dawleyfemale rats were treated withD-Camphorin the concentration of0, 100, 400 and 800 mg/kg bw/dayorally by gavage for10 days (gd 6-15). No mortality were observed in treated dams as compared to control.Decreased weight gain during the treatment period was observed in treated female rats as compared to control. Although maternal body weights in all treatment groups were within 5% of control values at all gestational ages, maternal weight gain during the treatment period in the 800 mg/kg/day group was significantly reduced. Food consumption was initially suppressed at 400 and 800 mg/kg/day. But recovered to control levels by the end of the treatment period. No effect on food consumption was observed at 100 mg/kg/day. Increased maternal water consumption during one or more of the following measurement periods (gd 6 to 9; gd 12 to 15; gd 15 to 18) was observed. Similarly, No effect onreproductive performanceor fetal growth was observed in treated rats as compared to control.Absolute and relative liver weights exhibited a significant dose-related increase, but did not exceed 10% of control values in any individual group. In addition, Noeffect on viability of fetus was observed as compared to control. No external, visceral and skeletal malformations were observed in pups as compared to control. Therefore, NOAEL was considered to be 800 mg/kg bw for P and F1 generation whenSprague Dawleyand female rats were treated withD-Camphororally by gavage for10 days (gd 6-15).
