Details on study design:
Four groups of 96 pregnant female SD rats received the test article via oral gavage at concentrations of 0, 30, 100, 300 mg/kg bw/d from day 5 of gestation to day 19 post-partum (pp) using a dose volume of 5 mL/kg. On day 20 of gestation, dams were subjected to caesarean section and macroscopic examination. The number of implantations, resorptions (early and late), corpora lutea, and uteri were determined, as well as placental weight, number of live and dead fetuses, litter and sex ratios. Live foetuses were individually weighed as well as their placenta and the foetuses were examined for external anomalies, soft tissue changes (half of the fetuses) and skeletal changes (remaining fetuses).

Examinations

Maternal examinations:
Clinical signs of toxicity: observed once daily, in the morning throughout gestation and, additionally 1 h after dosing throughout the dosing period
Mortality: twice daily during the normal working week and once daily at weekends
Bodyweight: weighed on Day 3, Days 5 to 8, Day 11, Day 14, Day 17 and Day 20 of gestation
Food consumption: recorded for discrete periods throughout the study on Day 3 to 5, Day 5 to 8, Day 8 to 11, Day 11 to 14, Day 14 to 17 and Day 17 to 20 of gestation
Necropsy: On day 20 of gestation, dams were subjected to caesarean section and macroscopic examination.
Ovaries and uterine content:
The number of implantations, resorptions (early and late), corpora lutea, and uteri were determined. Pregnancy status, no. of copora lutea, gravid uterus weight, number position and type of intra-uterine implantation were recorded as well as placental weight.
Fetal examinations:
Number of live and dead fetuses, litter and sex ratios. Live foetuses were individually weighed as well as foetuses examined for external anomalies. Foetuses were transferred to 90% industrial methylated spirits (IMS) in distilled water and examined for visceral anomalies under a low power binocular microscope. The remaining foetuses were identified using colour coded wires and placed in 70% IMS in distilled water. The foetuses were eviscerated, processed and the skeletons stained with alizarin red. The foetuses were examined for skeletal development and anomalies.
Statistics:
Bodyweight, bodyweight change and food consumption: Bartlett' s test for homogeneity of variance and one way analysis of variance, followed by Dunnet's multiple comparison test or, if unequal variances were observed, an alternative multiple comparison test.

Litter data and litter, placental and foetal weights: Kruskal-Wallis non-parametric analysis of variance; and a subsequent pairwise analysis of control value against treated values
Indices:
Percentage pre-implantation loss was calculated as:
(no. of corpora lutea - no. of implantations) / no.of copora lutea x 100

Percentage post-implantation loss was calculated as:
(no. of implantations - no. of live foetuses) / no.of implantations x 100
Historical control data:
no historical control data provided

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The daily administration of SYM05/841129 during the period of organogenesis, at dose levels up to 300 mg/kg bw/d, was not associated with any adverse effect on the pregnant rat or on the developing conceptus. The maternal NOAEL was 300 mg/kg bw/d (deemed to be the maximum tolerated dose), the maximum dose tested.

The NOAEL for developmental toxicity was set at 300 mg/kg bw/d, the maximum dose tested. There were no indications of teratogenic potential at doses up to 300 mg/kg bw/d (a dosedeemed to be the maximum tolerated dose for maternal animals).
Executive summary:

SYM05/841129 was daily administered by oral gavage at dose levels of 0, 30, 100 or 300 mg/kg bw/d, to groups of 24 time-mated SD rats from day 5 to day 19 of gestation (GD) inclusive. The dose levels were selected based on a dose range finding study, reported under CA 7.8.2/01. The maximum dose (300 mg/kg bw/d) was deemed to be a maximum tolerated dose On day 20 of gestation all rats were subjected to a caesarean section and macroscopic examination of the organs in the thoracic and abdominal cavities. The number of implantations, resorptions (early and late), corpora lutea, and uteri were determined, as well as placental weight, number of live and dead fetuses, litter and sex ratios. Live foetuses were individually weighed as well as their placenta and the foetuses were examined for external anomalies, soft tissue changes (half of the fetuses) and skeletal changes (remaining fetuses).

 

Treatment at dosages up to 300 mg/kg bw/d was well tolerated by the pregnant females and was not associated with any effects on clinical condition, bodyweight, bodyweight change, food intake or necropsy observations.

 

There were no effects at dosages up to 300 mg/kg/day on embryofoetal survival, growth and development.
