Administration / exposure
- Route of administration:
- oral: gavage
- Vehicle:
- water
- Details on oral exposure:
- PREPARATION OF DOSING SOLUTIONS:
A appropriate amount of the test substance was weighed out depending on the desired concentration. Then, drinking water was filled up to the desired volume, subsequently released with a magnetic stirrer. The test substance preparations were produced daily. - Analytical verification of doses or concentrations:
- yes
- Details on analytical verification of doses or concentrations:
- The analytical investigations of the test substance preparations were carried out as a separate study.
The stability of the test substance in drinking water was demonstrated over a period of 7 days at room temperature. Homogeneity was verified in 3 samples in the highest and lowest concentration (was used as a concentration control at the same time) at the beginning of the study; additional concentration control analyses were done in the mid concentration. Considering the low relative standard deviation in the homogeneity analysis, it can be concluded that the test substance was distributed homogeneously in drinking water. The concentrations of the test substance in drinking water were found to be in the range of 103-120 % of the nominal concentration. - Duration of treatment / exposure:

- CLINICAL SIGNS AND MORTALITY
- No parental animal died prematurely in the present study.
- Discolored feces from red (test groups 2 [60 mg/kg bw/d] and 3 [300 mg/kg bw/d]) and dark brown (test group 3; females only) to black (test group 3) were observed in both sexes during premating, mating and post mating periods, starting on study day 1. These observations were also made for females during gestation and lactation. The effects were related to the test substance but assessed as being non-adverse. The absence of an open vagina was observed in animal No. 140 during mating. This finding was neither test substance- nor treatment-related but spontaneous in nature.
BODY WEIGHT AND WEIGHT GAIN
- No test substance-related changes in mean body weights were observed for male and female animals of test groups 1-3 (12, 60 and 300 mg/kg bw/d) when compared to control groups. Temporarily, mean body weight gain was significantly slowed down in female animals of test group 3 (300 mg/kg bw/d) during the premating phase, with a body weight loss between study days 0 to 7. As the finding was the limited to the premating phase and as no further findings occurred it was assessed to be non-adverse.
FOOD CONSUMPTION AND COMPOUND INTAKE
- No test substance-related findings were observed.
WATER CONSUMPTION AND COMPOUND INTAKE
- No test substance-related findings were observed.
HAEMATOLOGY
- In males of test group 3 (300 mg/kg bw/d), red blood cell (RBC) counts and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) was decreased whereas mean corpuscular volume (MCV) and relative reticulocyte counts were increased. Relative reticulocyte counts were already higher in males of test group 2 (60 mg/kg bw/d) and MCHC was already decreased in males of test groups 1 and 2 (12 and 60 mg/kg bw/d; in test group 2 not statistically significantly decreased). RBC counts in test group 3 was the only measured red blood cell parameter (i.e., RBC counts, hemoglobin and hematocrit values) which was altered. MCHC means in all test groups were within the historical control range (MCHC 20.22-21.48 mmol/L) and, therefore, this change was regarded as incidental and not treatment-related. The relative reticulocyte counts in males of test groups 2 and 3 were above the historical control range (relative reticulocyte counts 1.5-1.9%). At least in test group 2 this alteration without any other change of measured red blood cell parameters was regarded as treatment-related but not adverse because it reflects the capacity of the bone marrow to produce and release red blood cells.
In females of test group 3 (300 mg/kg bw/d) hemoglobin values were lower compared to study controls. The hemoglobin mean in females of test group 3 was 4% below that one of the study controls. The hemoglobin values in females of test group 3 were within, whereas those of the study control were above the historical control range (hemoglobin 8.2-8.9 mmol/L). In these individuals this was the only statistically significantly changed red blood cell parameter. Therefore, this change was regarded as incidental and not treatment-related.
In females of test group 1 (12 mg/kg bw/d) relative neutrophil cell counts were decreased and relative lymphocyte counts were increased. These alterations were not dose-dependent and therefore they were regarded as incidental and not treatment-related.
CLINICAL CHEMISTRY
- In females of test groups 2 and 3 (60 and 300 mg/kg bw/d) total bilirubin levels were increased, but the values were within the historical control range (total bilirubin 1.29-3.12 µmol/L) and therefore, this change was regarded as incidental and not treatment-related.
URINALYSIS
- No treatment-related changes among urinalysis parameters were observed.
NEUROBEHAVIOUR
1. Functional observation battery
- Home cage observations: No test substance-related effects were observed.
- Open field observations: Each one male animal of test groups 1 (No. 22; 12 mg/kg bw/d) and 2 (No. 31; 60 mg/kg bw/d) showed red-discolored feces. This finding was assessed to be test substance-, but not treatment-related or adverse.
- Sensorimotor tests/reflexes: No test substance-related effects were observed.
2. Motor activity measurement
- There were no significant deviations concerning the overall motor activity (summation of all intervals) in male and female animals of all test groups in comparison to the concurrent control group.
ORGAN WEIGHTS
- The significantly increased absolute weight of the spleen in males (0.714 g) was within the range of the historical control values (0.502-0.728 g). However, the relative weight (0.216%) was above the historical control range (0.132-0.196%) and correlated with increased extramedullary hematopoiesis. Therefore, it was considered treatment-related. In females of test group 3, although the absolute spleen weight (0.510 g) was marginally above the historical control range (0.382-0.502 g) neither a dose-dependency nor a histopathological correlate were evident. Therefore, the weight increase in females was regarded as incidental.
GROSS PATHOLOGY
- In almost all males and females of test group 3 (300 mg/kg bw/d), the contents of the cecum, colon, glandular stomach and jejunum displayed a red discoloration. In addition, the kidneys of 4 out of 10 males and all females, as well as the mesenteric lymph nodes of all males and females of test group 3 displayed a red discoloration. All of these changes revealed the presence of the test substance and were considered treatment-related, but had no histopathological correlate.
HISTOPATHOLOGY: NON-NEOPLASTIC
- A slightly increased in the severity of the extramedullary hematopoiesis was seen in the spleen of males of test group 3 (300 mg/kg bw/d), only. The extramedullary hematopoiesis was comparable between control animals and treated animals of test groups 1 and 2.
