- PREPARATION OF DOSING SOLUTIONS:
The test item was prepared at the appropriate concentrations as a solution in Propylene glycol. The stability and homogeneity of the test item formulations were determined. Results show the formulations to be stable for at least twenty days when stored refrigerated at concentrations of 3 mg/mL and 25 mg/mL. However, concentrations of 1.25 mg/mL were found to be stable in ambient conditions for 24 hours. Formulations were therefore prepared at 3.75 mg/mL once, stored at approximately 4 °C and used for the duration of the study. The 3.75 mg/mL solution was diluted daily to produce the concentration of 1.25 mg/mL. The 12.5 mg/mL concentration was prepared twice and stored at approximately 4°C.
Samples were taken of test item formulations on three occasions and were analyzed for concentration of M-(2,3-EPOXYPROPOXY)-N,N-BIS(2,3-EPOXYPROPYL)ANILINE. The results indicate that the prepared formulations were within 96-100 % of the nominal concentration.

- Details on study design:
- Dosages were selected in collaboration with the Sponsor based on available toxicity data including a Preliminary Oral (Gavage) Pre-Natal Development Toxicity Study in the Rat. In the preliminary study, a dosage of 100 mg/kg bw/day was associated with initial body weight loss, lower body weight gains and lower food consumption to Day 14 of gestation, compared to control, sufficient to preclude it from being utilized as a high dosage in this main investigation of pre-natal developmental toxicity. At 50 mg/kg bw/day effects on body weight performance, including a transient body weight loss, and food consumption were apparent at this dosage, but these effects were considered insufficient to exclude this dosage from further investigation of pre-natal developmental toxicity. A previous pre-natal study with a related test item, p-(2,3-epoxypropoxy)-N,N-bis (2,3-epoxypropyl)aniline used dosages of 0 (control), 5, 15 and 40 mg/kg bw/day. As this pre-natal study for M-(2,3-Epoxypropoxy)-N,N-Bis(2,3-Epoxypropyl)Aniline is intended to provide support for read across for this class of test item, the use of similar dosages to those already used was considered to be advantageous, however, given the extent of the responses observed in the preliminary study at 50 mg/kg bw/day, a high dosage of 40 mg/kg bw/day was considered likely to be too low. In view of this a dosage sequence of 0 (control), 5, 15 and 50 mg/kg bw/day was selected, which includes two of the dosages previously investigated with the other test item.

Results and discussion
Results: maternal animals
General toxicity (maternal animals)
- Clinical signs:
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- The incidence and distribution of the occasional incidences of clinical signs observed during the study did not show any obvious association with treatment and were considered to be incidental and unrelated to test item exposure.
- Mortality:
- mortality observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence):
- One female treated at 50 mg/kg bw/day was found dead on Day 17 of gestation. No clinical signs or bodyweight effects had been observed prior to this. At necropsy the lungs were observed to be dark and patchy but the etiology of this death could not be established.
- Body weight and weight changes:
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- There was no adverse effect of treatment on body weight, body weight gain (both absolute and adjusted for gravid uterus weight) and gravid uterus weight for pregnant females throughout the study at 5, 15 or 50 mg/kg bw/day.
At 50 mg/kg bw/day body weight gain tended to be lower than control from Day 8 of gestation but differences were slight and only attained statistical significance during Days 8 to 11. Although cumulative body weight gain from the start of treatment (Day 5 of gestation) was statistically significantly lower than control on Days 11 and 17 of gestation, overall body weight gain at termination (Day 20 of gestation) was approximately 92 % of control and differences were not statistically significant. In the absence of any significant differences in overall body weight gain when adjusted for the contribution of the gravid uterus, the observed differences in body weight gain were clearly insufficient to represent an adverse effect and may reflect normal biological variation. - Food consumption and compound intake (if feeding study):
- not examined
- Food efficiency:
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- There was no adverse effect of treatment on food consumption for pregnant females treated at 5, 15 or 50 mg/kg bw/day.
Females treated at 50 mg/kg bw/day showed slightly lower food consumption, compared to control, during Days 8 to 11 although food consumption for the remainder of the study was generally similar to control. This lower intake, in isolation, was insufficient to represent an adverse effect and may reflect normal biological variation, however, it was consistent with a period of slightly lower body weight gain compared to control.
Food consumption for all treated groups was lower than control between Days 3-5 with values attaining statistical significance at both 5 and 15 mg/kg bw/day, however, the pattern of food consumption observed on the study suggests that the initial food intake for control on the study were higher than would have been expected. Clearly, as this finding was apparent before the commencement of treatment there was no association with treatment and this finding was considered to be incidental and of no toxicological significance. - Water consumption and compound intake (if drinking water study):
