Moribund or animals showing severe pain or enduring signs of severe distress was humanely euthanized when noticed and subjected to necropsy. Animals that are found dead during observation period was sent for necropsy immediately and examined grossly
for abnormalities, if any.
Organ weighing was performed under wet conditions as soon as possible after dissection for liver, kidneys, adrenals, testes, epididymides, prostate and seminal vesicles with coagulating glands as a whole, uterus, ovaries, thymus, spleen, brain, heart, pituitary gland and thyroid gland of all experimental groups.

- Vaginal smear was prepared from female animals on the day of terminal sacrifice just before euthanasia to determine the stages of estrous cycle
- Statistics:
- Numerical data obtained during the conduct of the study was subjected to calculation of group means and standard deviations and reported. Continuous data such as body weight, feed consumption, clinical pathology and organ weights of the main group animals (G1-G4) were analyzed for normality using Shapiro-Wilk test and homogeneity of variance using Levene's test. Homogeneous data were subjected to Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) followed by Dunnett's test for post hoc comparison. For non-homogenous data, a non-parametric test for comparing several groups, the Kruskal-Wallis test were performed. If significant difference is observed in the Kruskal-Wallis test, Mann-Whitney U test was performed to identify the group which showed a significant difference from control.
The data from the recovery groups (G1R and G4R) were subjected to normality and homogeneity and a parametric Student's t-test was performed to find out significant difference between the groups. In the case of non-normal distribution of data, the Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare the groups.
A p-value of < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. The analysis was performed using IBM SPSS Statistics Software version 28.
Non numerical data obtained during the conduct of the study was reported as individual results or incidences.

- Description (incidence):
- No test item related morbidity/mortality were observed in any of the animals in the treated group during the treatment and post treatment i.e. recovery period. All the animals were apparently normal from the initiation of dosing until scheduled sacrifice.
- Body weight and weight changes:
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- There was no statistically significant test item related change in the body weight of the treated groups of both sexes when compared with the concurrent control group (for more details, please refer to Tables 1 and 2 in section "Any other information on results incl. tables")..
- Food consumption and compound intake (if feeding study):
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- There was no statistically significant test item related change in the feed consumption of the treated groups of both sexes when compared with the concurrent control group.
- Food efficiency:
- not examined
- Water consumption and compound intake (if drinking water study):
- not examined
- Ophthalmological findings:
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- The ophthalmological examination of the animals performed prior to the administration of the test item did not reveal any abnormalities. Similarly, no ocular lesions or changes were noticed in the treated animals during the ophthalmological examination performed at the end of the treatment and recovery period.
- Haematological findings:
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- Statistically significant increase (40.20%) in clotting time (CT) in G2 male was observed when compared with respective control. On day 119, RBC in G4R male decreased (-7.36%) statistically significant when compared with respective control. Statistically significant increase in monocyte (44.54%) in G2 female was observed when compared with respective control. These changes were considered as incidental since their occurrence was sporadic with no dose dependency and not test item related. All the other parameters of treatment group animals were comparable with the respective control group.
No statistically significant test item related changes were observed in treated group animals in the coagulation parameters (APTT, PTT) in both the sexes when compared with respective control group. - Clinical biochemistry findings:
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- The G3 (-11.35%) and G4 (-18.83%) females exhibited statistically significant decrease in HDL, and significant increase (36.31%) was observed in the values of LDL in G4 female when compared with respective control. On day 119, creatinine (-5.71%) and chloride (-1.32%) in G4R female were decreased significantly when compared with respective controls. Significant decrease (-0.77%) was observed in Cl in G4R male. These changes were considered as incidental since their occurrence was sporadic with no dose dependency and not test item related. All the other parameters of treatment group animals were comparable with the respective control group.
- Endocrine findings:
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- The plasma was analyzed for thyroid hormones triiodothyronine (T3), thyroxine (T4) and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) using ELISA method. Statistically significant increase was observed in the values of T3, in G2 (62.96%) and G3 (33.33%) male when compared with respective control. These changes in T3 values coincided with increase in thyroid organ weights in G2 and G3 males. However, no statistically significant changes were observed in high dose group male as well as female animals. On day 119, TSH in G4R male decreased (-15.00%) statistically significant when compared with respective control. Hence these changes were considered as incidental since their occurrence was sporadic with no dose dependency (for more details, please refer to Tables 3 and 4 in section "Any other information on results incl. tables").
- Urinalysis findings:
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- The results of urinalysis performed at the end of treatment (G1 - G4) and recovery period (G1R and G4R) did not reveal any treatment related changes in either sex when compared with respective controls.
- Behaviour (functional findings):
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- Statistically significant decrease in fore limp grip strength was observed in G2 (-14.69%) and G3 (-15.87%) males when compared with the control group.
A statistically significant decrease was observed in G2 (-13.22%), G3 (-17.91%) and G4 (-24.87%) females in case of fore limp grip strength when compared with the control group. These changes were considered as dose dependent. However, these changes disappeared in the recovery group. Moreover, none of the animals exhibited any clinical signs related to neuromuscular function. In addition, there was no statistical difference observed in high dose male animals and therefore these changes were considered as transient effects. All the other parameters of treatment group animals were comparable with the respective control group. - Immunological findings:
- not examined
- Organ weight findings including organ / body weight ratios:
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- There was a statistically significant increase in the relative weights of the epididymides in G2 (15.20%), G4 (9.31%) males and thyroid in G2 (12.68%) males when compared with respective control. However, in females there was a statistically significant decrease (-12.39%) in the relative weights of brain in G4R when compared with control recovery. Although these observed changes were statistically significant, they did not occur in a dose dependent manner, hence considered as not related to treatment.
- Gross pathological findings:
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- No gross pathological changes (abnormalities) were observed in control and treated group animals. No congenital /incidental findings were observed in the gross pathology in the control and treated group

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- No adverse effects of TDI-Urone 80 on mortality, clinical signs, body weight, food consumption, hematology, clinical chemistry, organ weights, or gross and histologic pathology were observed in a subchronic toxicity study (OECD TG 408, GLP) conducted on Wistar rats.
The NOAEL is 1000 mg/kg bw/day. - Executive summary:
In a subchronic toxicity study (OECD TG 408, GLP) TDI-Urone 80 in distilled water was administered to Wistar (Crl:WI) rats in groups of 10/sex/dose (main groups) and 5/sex/dose (recovery groups) by oral gavage at dose levels of 0, 250, 500, 1000 mg/kg bw/day for 90 consecutive days . Rats in recovery groups were observed for an additional 28 days to evaluate any possible reversible effects after withdrawal of the treatment.
Clinical observations and feed consumption measurement were performed daily; body weights were determined weekly. Ophthalmological examinations were performed on all animals of all groups before the start of the dosing for main groups at week 13 and also at week 17 for recovery groups. Estimation of clinical chemistry, hematology and urinalysis were conducted at the end of 90 days treatment and 28 days recovery period.
There were no test item related effects in mortality, clinical signs, body weight, food consumption, hematology, clinical chemistry, organ weights, or gross and histologic pathology. The NOAEL is 1000 mg/kg bw/day.
This subchronic toxicity study in the rats is acceptable and satisfies the guideline requirement for a subchronic oral study (OECD 408) in rats.
