- CLINICAL SIGNS AND MORTALITY:
There were two premature decedents in this study. None of these deaths was considered to be test substance related (one female dosed 300 mg/kg bw/day with total litter loss, one high dose group female (group 4) was found dead on lactation Day 1). There were no clinical signs of toxicity during the observation period. One control male was noted with hunched posture, piloerection and a lean appearance towards the end of the treatment period. Since this was a male of the control group, these findings were by no means test substance related.
BODY WEIGHT AND WEIGHT GAIN:
Body weights and body weight gain of treated animals remained in the same range as controls over the treatment period.
FOOD CONSUMPTION:
No toxicologically relevant changes in food consumption before or after allowance for body weight were noted.
HAEMATOLOGY:
Haematological parameters of treated rats were considered not to have been affected by treatment. Slightly higher values of red blood cells, haemoglobin and haematocrit were noted for males at 100 mg/kg bw/day as compared to controls. These findings were considered to be of no toxicological relevance as they occurred in the absence of a treatment-related distribution and remained within the range considered normal for rats of this age and strain.
CLINICAL CHEMISTRY:
Clinical biochemistry parameters of treated rats were considered not to have been affected by treatment. Higher values of urea at 100 mg/kg bw/day (males), and glucose (males) and alanine aminotransferase (ALAT; females) at 300 mg/kg bw/day were considered to be of no toxicological significance as they occurred in the absence of a treatment-related distribution and remained within the range considered normal for rats of this age and strain.
NEUROBEHAVIOUR:
No toxicologically relevant effects on hearing ability, pupillary reflex, static righting reflex and grip strength were observed. One male (no. 15) at 100 mg/kg bw/day had no pupil reflex of his left eye. In the absence of corroborative findings at the higher doses, no toxicological relevance was attributed to this isolated finding. At the individual level, two males and one female at 300 mg/kg bw/day were noted with relatively high total numbers of total movements. No increased activity was seen for males and females treated at the higher dose of 1000 mg/kg bw/day. Therefore, this finding was not considered to be toxicologically relevant.
ORGAN WEIGHTS:
There were no test item-related alterations in organ weights.
The lower seminal vesicle organ weight (absolute and relative to body weight) noted for males at 100 mg/kg bw/day as compared to the concurrent control group was considered not to be a sign of toxicity. No dose-related trend could be established and no corroborative findings were present either macroscopically or microscopically.
GROSS PATHOLOGY:
There were no test item-related gross observations.
All recorded macroscopic findings were within the range of background observations encountered in rats of this age and strain.
HISTOPATHOLOGY: NON-NEOPLASTIC
There were no test item-related microscopic observations.
All of the recorded microscopic findings were within the range of background pathology encountered in rats of this age and strain. There was no test item-related alteration in the prevalence, severity, or histologic character of those incidental tissue alterations. - Key result
- Dose descriptor:
- NOAEL
- Remarks:
- parental
- Effect level:
- >= 1 000 mg/kg bw/day (actual dose received)
- Based on:
- test mat.
- Sex:
- male/female
- Basis for effect level:
- other: no test substance related adverse effects observed up to and including 1000 mg/kg bw/day, the highest dose tested
- Critical effects observed:
- not specified
- Conclusions:
- In the absence of adverse effects in parental rats in a repeated dose toxicity study with reproduction/developmental screening (OECD 422), the NOAEL is at least 1000 mg/kg bw/day for parental toxicity.
- Executive summary:
In an OECD 422 study, CAT was administered by daily oral gavage to male and female Wistar Han rats at dose levels of 100, 300 and 1000 mg/kg bw/day (batch B) and 1000 mg/kg bw/day (batch C). Males were exposed for 2 weeks prior to mating, during mating, and up to termination (for 31 days). The females were exposed for 2 weeks prior to mating, during mating, during post-coitum, and at least 4 days of lactation (for 41-46 days). Formulation analysis showed that the formulations were prepared accurately and homogenously.
No parental toxicity was observed up to and including the highest dose level tested (1000 mg/kg bw/day of batch B or C) as evidenced by the absence of clinical signs of toxicity or adverse changes in functional observational results, body weight (gain), food consumption, haematology and clinical biochemistry parameters, organ weights, macroscopic findings, and microscopic findings. In conclusion, treatment with CAT by oral gavage in male and female Wistar Han rats at dose levels of 100, 300 and 1000 mg/kg bw/day(batch B) and 1000 mg/kg bw/day (batch C) did not result in parental adverse effects. Based on these results, a parental No Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) of at least 1000 mg/kg bw/day was derived for both batches (B and C).
Accuracy of preparation
In the Group 1 formulations, no test substance was detected. Mean recoveries/day were 83 -89%. One of the mean recoveries of the procedural recovery samples (83%) did not fall within the criterion of 85 − 115%. The rest of the mean recoveries of the procedural recovery samples fell within the criterion, however the mean recoveries were very close to the lower limit of the criterion. Therefore, the concentration of the test samples were corrected for the mean recovery of the procedural recovery samples which were pretreated on the same day.The corrected concentrations analysed in the formulations of Group 2, Group 3, Group 4 and Group 5 were in agreement with target concentrations (i.e. mean accuracies between 85% and 115%). Homogeneity The formulations of Group 2, Group 4 and Group 5 were homogeneous: 97%-106% (coefficient of variation ≤ 10%).

- Executive summary:
In an OECD 422 study, CAT was administered by daily oral gavage to male and female Wistar Han rats at dose levels of 100, 300 and 1000 mg/kg bw/day (batch B) and 1000 mg/kg bw/day (batch C). Males were exposed for 2 weeks prior to mating, during mating, and up to termination (for 31 days). The females were exposed for 2 weeks prior to mating, during mating, during post-coitum, and at least 4 days of lactation (for 41-46 days). Formulation analysis showed that the formulations were prepared accurately and homogenously.
No parental toxicity was observed up to and including the highest dose level tested (1000 mg/kg bw/day of batch B or C) as evidenced by the absence of clinical signs of toxicity or adverse changes in functional observational results, body weight (gain), food consumption, haematology and clinical biochemistry parameters, organ weights, macroscopic findings, and microscopic findings. No reproductive toxicity was observed up to and including the highest dose level tested (1000 mg/kg bw/day for both batches). No treatment-related changes were noted in any of the reproductive parameters investigated in this study (i.e. mating, fertility and conception indices, precoital time, and numbers of corpora lutea and implantation sites, spermatogenic profiling, and histopathological examination of reproductive organs). The observed number of pregnant females (n=7) in the 1000 mg/kg bw/day dose group (batch C) was just below the minimum of 8 advised by the guideline. This finding was considered a chance finding and not treatment related, as no abnormalities were seen in the reproductive organs of either sex, which could account for their lack of offspring. In addition, spermatogenic staging profiles were normal for all males examined. All 7 pregnant females delivered healthy pups and litter sizes were normal. Sufficient offspring was produced to assure a meaningful evaluation of possible developmental (from implantation onwards) toxicity of the test substance.
In conclusion, treatment with CAT by oral gavage in male and female Wistar Han rats at dose levels of 100, 300 and 1000 mg/kg bw/day (batch B) and 1000 mg/kg bw/day (batch C) did not result in parental reproductive or developmental adverse effects. Based on these results, a parental, reproductive and developmental No Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) of at least 1000 mg/kg bw/day was derived for both batches (B and C).
There were two premature decedents in this study. None of these deaths was considered to be test substance related (one female dosed 300 mg/kg bw/day with total litter loss, one high dose group female (group 4) was found dead on lactation Day 1). There were no clinical signs of toxicity during the observation period. One Group 1 male was noted with hunched posture, piloerection and a lean appearance towards the end of the treatment period. Since this was a male of the control group, these findings were by no means test substance related.
BODY WEIGHT AND FOOD CONSUMPTION (PARENTAL ANIMALS):
Body weights and body weight gain of treated animals remained in the same range as controls over the treatment period. No toxicologically relevant changes in food consumption before or after allowance for body weight were noted.
REPRODUCTIVE FUNCTION: ESTROUS CYCLE (PARENTAL ANIMALS):
no adverse effects observed
REPRODUCTIVE FUNCTION: SPERM MEASURES (PARENTAL ANIMALS):
Spermatogenic staging profiles were normal for all males examined.
REPRODUCTIVE PERFORMANCE (PARENTAL ANIMALS):
There were no treatment-related findings on the reproduction parameters observed. The mating index, fertility and conception indices, precoital time, and number of corpora lutea and implantation sites were unaffected by treatment.
There was one control couple, two couples treated at 100 mg/kg bw/day, one couple treated at 300 mg/kg bw/day and three couples at 1000 mg/kg bw/day without offspring. There was one couple treated at 300 mg/kg bw/day with total litter loss. No abnormalities were seen in the reproductive organs (and mammary gland), which could account for their lack of offspring. There were no morphological findings in the reproductive organs of either sex which could be attributed to the test item and spermatogenic staging profiles were normal for all males examined.
ORGAN WEIGHTS (PARENTAL ANIMALS):
There were no test item-related alterations in organ weights.
The lower seminal vesicle organ weight (absolute and relative to body weight) noted for males at 100 mg/kg bw/day as compared to the concurrent control group was considered not to be a sign of toxicity. No dose-related trend could be established and no corroborative findings were present either macroscopically or microscopically.
GROSS PATHOLOGY (PARENTAL ANIMALS):
There were no test item-related gross observations.
All recorded macroscopic findings were within the range of background observations encountered in rats of this age and strain.
HISTOPATHOLOGY (PARENTAL ANIMALS):
There were no test item-related microscopic observations.
All of the recorded microscopic findings were within the range of background pathology encountered in rats of this age and strain. There was no test item-related alteration in the prevalence, severity, or histologic character of those incidental tissue alterations.
At first litter check, in total three pups from two different litters at 300 mg/kg bw/day were found dead. In the absence of any dead pups at the higher dose level of 1000 mg/kg bw/day, no toxicological significance was attached to this finding. During lactation, one pup of the control group and two pups at 300 mg/kg bw/day went missing. These missing pups were most likely cannibalised. No toxicological relevance was attributed to these missing pups since the mortality incidence did not show a dose related trend and remained within the range considered normal for pups of this age. All three pups of one 1000 mg/kg bw/day litter had to be euthanized on lactation Day 1 due to the spontaneous death of their mother.
CLINICAL SIGNS (OFFSPRING):
One pup at 300 mg/kg bw/day that went missing on lactation Day 2 had no milk in its stomach at fi rst litter check. Incidental clinical symptoms of pups surviving until scheduled necropsy consisted of blue spot on the nose and scabbing of the cheek. The nature and incidence of these clinical signs remained within the range considered normal for pups of this age, and were therefore considered to be of no toxicological relevance.
BODY WEIGHT (OFFSPRING):
Body weights of pups were considered to have been unaffected by treatment
GROSS PATHOLOGY (OFFSPRING):
Incidental macroscopic findings of pups that were found dead included (beginning) autolysis. Incidental macroscopic findings among surviving pups included scabbing of the cheek. The nature and incidence of these findings remained within the range considered normal for pups of this age, and were therefore considered to be of no toxicological relevance.

- yes
- Details on analytical verification of doses or concentrations:
- Analyses were conducted on a single occasion during the treatment phase, according to a validated method (Project 507669). Samples of formulations were analyzed for homogeneity (highest and lowest concentration) and accuracy of preparation (all concentrations). The accuracy of preparation was considered acceptable if the mean measured concentrations were 85-115% of the target concentration. Homogeneity was demonstrated if the coefficient of variation was ≤ 10%.
Analysis of stability of the test substance under test conditions was not performed. Due to its extremely inert structure, the test substance will not disintegrate under the test conditions used in this study. - Details on mating procedure:
- - Impregnation procedure: cohoused
- If cohoused:
- M/F ratio per cage: 1/1
- Length of cohabitation: A maximum of 14 days was allowed for mating.
- Verification of same strain and source of both sexes: yes
- Proof of pregnancy: vaginal plug / sperm in vaginal smear referred to as day 0 post-coitum. - Duration of treatment / exposure:
- Males were exposed for 31 days, i.e. 2 weeks prior to mating, during mating, and up to the day prior to scheduled necropsy. Females were exposed for 41-46 days, i.e. during 2 weeks prior to mating, during mating, during post-coitum, and during at least 4 days of lactation (up to the day prior to scheduled necropsy).

- The Steel-test (many-to-one rank test) was applied if the data could not be assumed to follow a normal distribution.
- The Fisher Exact-test was applied to frequency data.
- The Kruskal-Wallis nonparametric ANOVA test was applied to motor activity data to determine intergroup differences.
All tests were two-sided and in all cases p < 0.05 was accepted as the lowest level of significance.

Results (fetuses)
- Details on embryotoxic / teratogenic effects:
- Embryotoxic / teratogenic effects:no effects
Details on embryotoxic / teratogenic effects:
No toxicologically relevant effects on gestation index and duration, parturition, maternal care and early postnatal pup development (mortality, clinical signs, body weight and macroscopy) were observed. The numbers of females with living pups on Day 1 of lactation were 9, 8, 8, 10 and 7 at 0, 100, 300 and 1000 mg/kg bw/day (batch B) and 1000 mg/kg bw/day (batch C), respectively. The gestation index and duration of gestation were unaffected by treatment. No signs of difficult or prolonged parturition were noted among the pregnant females. Examination of cage debris of pregnant females revealed no signs of abortion or premature birth. No deficiencies in maternal care were observed. Number of dead and living pups at first litter check, postnatal loss, viability index and sex ratio were unaffected by treatment, and clinical signs, body weight and external macroscopy did not reveal treatment-related findings.
VIABILITY (OFFSPRING):
At first litter check, in total three pups from two different litters at 300 mg/kg bw/day were found dead. In the absence of any dead pups at the higher dose level of 1000 mg/kg bw/day, no toxicological significance was attached to this finding. During lactation, one pup of the control group and two pups at 300 mg/kg bw/day went missing. These missing pups were most likely cannibalised. No toxicological relevance was attributed to these missing pups since the mortality incidence did not show a dose related trend and remained within the range considered normal for pups of this age. All three pups of one 1000 mg/kg bw/day litter had to be euthanized on lactation Day 1 due to the spontaneous death of their mother.
CLINICAL SIGNS (OFFSPRING):
One pup at 300 mg/kg bw/day that went missing on lactation Day 2 had no milk in its stomach at fi rst litter check. Incidental clinical symptoms of pups surviving until scheduled necropsy consisted of blue spot on the nose and scabbing of the cheek. The nature and incidence of these clinical signs remained
within the range considered normal for pups of this age, and were therefore considered to be of no toxicological relevance.
BODY WEIGHT (OFFSPRING):
Body weights of pups were considered to have been unaffected by treatment
GROSS PATHOLOGY (OFFSPRING):
Incidental macroscopic findings of pups that were found dead included (beginning) autolysis. Incidental macroscopic findings among surviving pups included scabbing of the cheek. The nature and incidence of these findings remained within the range considered normal for pups of this age, and were therefore considered to be of no toxicological relevance.

In conclusion, treatment with CAT by oral gavage in male and female Wistar Han rats at dose levels of 100, 300 and 1000 mg/kg bw/day (batch B) and 1000 mg/kg bw/day (batch C) did not result in parental, reproductive or developmental adverse effects. Based on these results, a parental, reproductive and developmental No Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) of at least 1000 mg/kg bw/day was derived for both batches (B and C).
