- Conclusions:
- Under the test conditions, the NOAEL for maternal toxicity was 1000 mg /kg bw/d. Due to slightly reduced foetal mean body weight in the high dose group compared to control, the NOAEL for developmental toxicity was 1000 mg/kg bw/day.
- Executive summary:
In a developmental toxicity study (101079), hexan-4-olide (97.5%) was administered to 25 females Crl:CD®(SD)IGS BR rats/dose by gavage at dose levels of 0, 100, 300 or 1000 mg/kg bw/day from days 6 through 19 of gestation.
All animals survived to the scheduled necropsy on GD20. There were no test article-related maternal clinical observations or effects on mean body weights, body weight gains, net body weights, net body weight gains, gravid uterine weights or food consumption at any dose level. There were no test article-related internal findings at the scheduled necropsy. The mean fetal sex ratio and mean numbers and/or litter proportions of viable fetuses and pre- and postimplantation losses in the 1000 mg/kg bw/day group were not affected by test article administration. Intrauterine growth and survival were unaffected in the 100 and 300 mg/kg bw/day groups. No test article-related fetal malformations or developmental variations were noted at any dose level in this study.
Test article-related effects noted in the 1000 mg/kg bw/day group consisted of statistically significant reduced mean fetal body weight (5.6 % lower than the control group value for combined fetal weight). This slight decrease was not considered of toxicological concern. No other indicators of developmental toxicity were noted.
Based on the results of this study, the dose level of 1000 mg/kg bw/day was considered to be the NOAEL for maternal toxicity and the dose level of 1000 mg/kg bw/day was considered to the NOAEL for developmental toxicity.
The developmental toxicity study in the rat is classified as acceptable and satisfies the guideline requirement for a developmental toxicity study (OECD 414) in rats.

- PREPARATION OF DOSING SOLUTIONS:
The 1000 mg/kg bw/d test article formulation was a weight/volume (test article/vehicle) mixture. For this group, the appropriate amount of the test article was weighted into a tared weighting vessel. Approximately 60 % of the vehicle was added to a calibrated storage container, and a deep vortex was created with a magnetic stir bar. The test article was slowly transferred quantitatively into the rapidly stirring vehicle and stirred until dissolved (approximately one minute). The remaining amount of vehicle was added to bring the volume to the calibration mark. The formulation was stirred until uniform and throughout use, using a magnetic stirrer. The mixture was used as a stock formulation to prepare the 100 and 300mg/kg bw/d group dosing formulations. For these groups, the appropriate amount of the stock formulation was added to achieve the total volume for each group. The dosing formulations were stored refrigerated, protected from light. The test article formulations were prepared approximately weekly (as single formulations for each dose level), then separated into aliquots for daily dispensation. All test article formulations were stirred continuously throughout the preparation, sampling and dose administration procedures.
VEHICLE
- Amount of vehicle (if gavage): 10 mL/kg bw - Analytical verification of doses or concentrations:
- yes
- Details on analytical verification of doses or concentrations:
- Homogeneity, re-suspension homogeneity and stability of the test formulations at a similar range of concentrations as used in this study were established in a companion study (Repeated dose toxicity: oral, 28d, Kirkpatrick).
Prior to the initiation of dose administration (April 2, 2002), samples (10 mL each) for homogeneity determination were collected from the top, middle and bottom strata of the all dosing formulations, including the control group. In addition, duplicate samples (10 mL each) for stability determinations were collected from the top and bottom strata of these same dosing suspensions; one set was stored refrigerated for 10 days and one set was stored at room temperature for 10 days. Both sets were protected from light. Samples (10 mL each) for concentration analysis were collected from the first, second and third weekly preparations from each dosing formulation (including the control group.
All analyses were conducted by the Analytical Chemistry Department, WIL Research Laboratories, Inc. The test article formulations were found to be homogenous (the RSD for the overall mean concentration was ≤ 10 % at a concentration that is within the acceptable limits), contain the amount of test article specified in the protocol (analyzed concentrations were within ± 10 % of the target dose concentrations) and stable for at least 10 days when stored refrigerated or at room temperature (the mean concentrations were no less that 90 % of the time zero concentrations). - Details on mating procedure:

BODY WEIGHT: Yes
- Time schedule for examinations: on gestation days 0 and 6-20 (daily)
Group mean body weights were calculated for each of these days. Mean body weight changes were calculated for each corresponding interval and also for gestation days 6-9, 9-12, 12-20, 6-20 and 0-20.
FOOD CONSUMPTION AND COMPOUND INTAKE (if feeding study): Yes
Individual food consumption was recorded on gestation day 0 and 6-20 (daily). Food intake was reported as g/animal/day and g/kg/day for the corresponding bpdy weigh change intervals . On the occasions when food intake could not be measured for one of the days in a given interval (due to a weighting error, food spillage, obvious erroneous value, etc.), values were calculated using the appropriate number of days for that interval.
WATER CONSUMPTION AND COMPOUND INTAKE (if drinking water study): No, not a drinking water study
POST-MORTEM EXAMINATIONS: Yes
- Sacrifice on gestation day 20
- Organs examined: gross observations of organs, maternal tissues were preserved - Ovaries and uterine content:
- The ovaries and uterine content was examined after termination: Yes
Examinations included:
- Gravid uterus weight: Yes
- Number of corpora lutea: Yes
- Number of implantations: Yes
- Number of early resorptions: Yes
- Number of late resorptions: Yes - Fetal examinations:
- - External examinations: Yes: all per litter
- Visceral examination: Yes: all per litter
- Skeletal examinations: Yes: all per litter
- Head examinations: Yes: half per litter
- Soft tissue examinations (head): Yes: half per litter - Statistics:
- All statistical tests were performed using appropriate computing devices or programs. Analyses were conducted using two-tailed tests (except as noted otherwise) for a minimum significance levels of 5 %, comparing each test article-treated group to the control group by sex. Each mean was presented with the standard deviation (S.D.) and the number of animals (N) used to calculate the mean. Due to the different rounding conventions inherent in the types of software used, the means and standard deviations on the summary and individual tables may differ by ± 1 in the last significant figure.
Mean maternal body weights (absolute and net), body weight changes (absolute and net) and food consumption, gravid uterine weights, number of corpora lutea, implantations sites and viable fetuses, and fetal body weights (separately by sex and combined) were subjected to a parametric one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) to determine intergroup differences. If the ANOVA revealed statistical significant (p < 0.05) intergroup variance, Dunnett’s test was used to compare the test article-treated groups to the control group. Mean litter proportions (percent per litter) of prenatal data (viable and nonviable fetuses, early and late resorptions, total resorptions, pre- and postimplantation loss, and fetal sex distribution) were subjected to the Kruskall-Wallis nonparametric ANOVA test to determine intergroup differences. If the ANOVA revealed statistically significant (p < 0.05) intergroup variance, the Mann-Whitney U-test was used to compare the test article-related groups to the control group. Mean litter proportions (percent per litter) or total fetal malformations and developmental variations (external, visceral, skeletal and combined) and of each particular external, visceral and skeletal malformation or variation were analyzed by the Kruskall-Wallis nonparametric ANOVA test followed by the Mann-Whitney U-test (if appropriate) as described above. - Indices:
- - Postimplantation loss/litter= (No. dead fetuses, resorptions (Early/Late)/Group) / No. Gravid Females/Group.
- Summation per group (%) = Sum of postimplantation loss/litter (%) / No. litters/group.
- Postimplantation loss/litter (%) = (No. dead fetuses, resorptions (Early/Late)/litter) / No. implantation sites/litter * 100
- Viable fetuses affected/litter (%) = (No. viable fetused affected/litter) / No. viable fetuses/litter * 100 - Historical control data:
- WIL Developmental historical control data [Crl:CD(SD)IGS BR Rats] is incuded in Appendix D of the study report. External, visceral and skeletal malformations and visceral and skeletal deviations were reported for 27 studies (635 fetuses)

MATERNAL CLINICAL OBSERVATIONS AND SURVIVAL
All animals survived to the scheduled necropsy. No test article-related findings were observed. Clinical findings, including hair loss or various body surfaces, yellow staining on the ventral abdomen and/or red material around the mouth or nose, were present prior to the initiation of dose administration, occurred infrequently, were noted similarly in the control group and/or did not occur in a dose-related manner.
MATERNAL BODY WEIGHTS AND GRAVID UTERINE WEIGHTS
No test article-related effects on mean body weights, body weight gains, net body weight gains or gravid uterine weights were observed.
MATERNAL FOOD CONSUMPTION
Food consumption, evaluated as g/animal/day and g/kg/day, was unaffected by test article administration. The only statistically significant (p < 0.05 or p < 0.01) differences from the control group were slight decreases in the 300 mg/kg bw/day group (g/kg/day only) during gestation days 17-19. The g/animal/day value in the 1000 mg/kg bw/day group was similar to that in the control group; therefore, the transient reduction in food consumed relative to body weight was not considered to be adverse. A reduction in the g/animal/day value similar to that observed in the 300 mg/kg /day group during gestation days 17-18 was not observed in the 1000 mg/kg bw/day group. Therefore, this transient decrease was not attributed to the test article.
MATERNAL NECROPSY DATA
There were no test article-related internal findings at the scheduled necropsy on GD20. One female in the 100 mg/kg bw/day group had cyst in the renal cortex and medulla (bilateral) and a rough surface of the liver. Another female in this same group had calculi in the urinary bladder, distended ureters and dilated renal pelves. In the 1000 mg/kg bw/day group, one female had dark red areas in the lungs. No other internal findings were observed. - Dose descriptor:

GD20 LAPAROHYSTERECTOMY DATA
Mean fetal body weights (male, female and combined) in the 1000 mg/kg bw/day group (3.5, 3.3 and 3.4 g, respectively) were reduced (statistically significant at p <0.05 or p < 0.01) compared to the control group value (3.7, 3.5 and 3.6 g, respectively). The values in the 1000 mg/kg bw/day group were equal to the minimum values in the WIL historical control data. The reduction in mean fetal body weight was attributed to the test article. Other intrauterine parameters, including mean viable litter size, fetal sex ratios and mean litter proportions of pre- and postimplantation loss, in this group were unaffected by test article administration.
Intrauterine growth and survival in the 100 and 300 mg/kg bw/day groups were unaffected by test article administration. The mean numbers of corpora lutea and implantation sites were similar in all groups.
FETAL MORPHOLOGICAL DATA
The number of fetuses (litters) available for morphological evaluation were 364(24), 376(24), 365(23) and 393(25) in the control, 100, 300 and 1000 mg/kg bw/day groups, respectively. Malformations (visceral and skeletal) were observed in 3(3) fetuses (litters) in the 300 mg/kg bw/day group and not treatment relationship as described below.
EXTERNAL MALFORMATIONS AND VARIATIONS
One fetus in the 300 mg/kg bw/day group had a meningocele (a portion of the meninges protruded through an opening of the cranium). No other external malformations were observed.
No external developmental variations were observed.
VISCERAL MALFORMATIONS AND VARIATIONS
One fetus in the 300 mg/kg bw/day group had a malpositioned descending aorta (the aorta coursed laterally to the left adrenal gland, between the adrenal and the left kidney, and resumed the normal position prior to the branching of the iliac artery). No other soft tissue malformations were observed.
Soft tissue developmental variations in the test article-treated groups included distended ureters, major blood vessel variations (the right carotid and right subclavian arteries arose independently from the aortic arch with no brachiocephalic trunk or a retroesophageal right subclavian artery, which joined the aortic arch adjacent to the right carotid artery, with no brachiocephalic trunk), an accessory spleen and a small spleen. These findings were observed in single fetuses or did not occur in a dose-related manner. No relationship to treatment was evident.
SKELETAL MALFORMATIONS AND VARIATIONS
One fetus in the 300 mg/kg bw/day group had a vertebral centra anormality (the right half of lumbar centrum no. 2 was absent, and the right half of lumbar centrum no. 1 was malpositioned). No other skeletal malformations were observed.
Skeletal developmental variations occurred in all dose groups, including the control group, and consisted primarily of unossified sternebra(e) nos. 5 and/or 6, 14th rudimentary ribs, 7th cervical ribs, cervical centrum no. 1 ossified and unossified hyoid. A statistically significant (p < 0.05) increase in the mean litter proportion (% per litter) of 7th cervical ribs was observed in the 100 mg/kg bw/day group compared to the control group value. Similar increases were not observed in the 300 and 1000 mg/kg bw/day groups; therefore this increase was not attributed to test article. Other skeletal variants observed on the test article-treated groups occurred infrequently, were within the range of the WIL historical control data or did not occur in a dose-related manner. No relationship to treatment was evident. - Dose descriptor:
- NOAEL
- Effect level:
- 1 000 mg/kg bw/day (actual dose received)
- Based on:
- test mat.
- Basis for effect level:
- other: No effects up to the highest dose tested
- Abnormalities:

- Conclusions:
- Under the test conditions, the NOAEL for maternal toxicity was 1000 mg /kg bw/d. Due to slightly reduced foetal mean body weight in the high dose group compared to control, the NOAEL for developmental toxicity was 1000 mg/kg bw/day.
- Executive summary:
In a developmental toxicity study (101079), hexan-4-olide (97.5%) was administered to 25 females Crl:CD®(SD)IGS BR rats/dose by gavage at dose levels of 0, 100, 300 or 1000 mg/kg bw/day from days 6 through 19 of gestation.
All animals survived to the scheduled necropsy on GD20. There were no test article-related maternal clinical observations or effects on mean body weights, body weight gains, net body weights, net body weight gains, gravid uterine weights or food consumption at any dose level. There were no test article-related internal findings at the scheduled necropsy. The mean fetal sex ratio and mean numbers and/or litter proportions of viable fetuses and pre- and postimplantation losses in the 1000 mg/kg bw/day group were not affected by test article administration. Intrauterine growth and survival were unaffected in the 100 and 300 mg/kg bw/day groups. No test article-related fetal malformations or developmental variations were noted at any dose level in this study.
Test article-related effects noted in the 1000 mg/kg bw/day group consisted of statistically significant reduced mean fetal body weight (5.6 % lower than the control group value for combined fetal weight).

Additional information
There is no toxicity to reproduction (screening for reproductive/developmental toxicity) study available for octan-4-olide. Read-across to an existing oral pre-natal developmental toxicity study in rats with hexan-4-olide (CAS No. 695-06-7) was performed.
In a developmental toxicity study (OECD 414/GLP), hexan-4-olide (97.5%) was administered to 25 females Crl:CD®(SD)IGS BR rats/dose by gavage at dose levels of 0, 100, 300 or 1000 mg/kg bw/day from days 6 through 19 of gestation.

Based on the results of this study, the dose level of 1000 mg/kg bw/day was considered to be the NOAEL for maternal toxicity and the dose level of 1000 mg/kg bw/day was considered to the NOAEL for developmental toxicity. The predicted NOAEL (maternal/developmental) for octan-4-olide is also 1000 mg/kg bw/day.
The results from this study are acceptable to use in the human health risk assessment.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Based on the available information in the dossier, the substance octan-4-olide (CAS No. 104-50-7) does not need to be classified for reproductive toxicity when the criteria outlined in Annex I of 1227/2008/EC are applied, based on the series of read-across studies from hexan-4-olide (CAS No. 695-06-7).
