Results and discussion
Results of examinations
- Clinical signs:
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- 30 minutes after the first administration, the animals dosed with the 1000 mg/kg/day dose presented hypomotility with ptosis and excess salivation, ataxia was also present in the females animals. The hypomotility was observed for 2 to 5 hours, varying between individual animals. This syndrome, without salivation (except for one animal)was seen again on day 2, when dyspnoea and repetitive movements were also noted in 3 females as well as chromorhinorrhea in most of them. From day 3 onwards, the female animals'coats of this dose group appeared dull and the clinical observations made on the preceding days disappeared. A non dose related chromodacryorrhea was also observed in some animals and alopecia in 3 female animals (2 controls and 1 animal given 10 mg/kg/day) and in 1 male animal (1000 mg/kg/day).
- Mortality:
- mortality observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence):
- No deaths related to compound administration were reported.
One male animal treated with 10 mg/kg/day died on day 29 during blood sampling. - Body weight and weight changes:
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- At the end of the study, a decrease in weight gain of the order of 7.5 %was noted in male animals treated with the 1000 mg/kg/day dose:
- A slowing of bodyweight gain with losses in weight in 4 female animals was observed between days 1 and 4 in the animals treated with the 1000 mg/kg/day dose, then the weight gain continued normally until day 15.
- After day 18, again a slight slowing in weight gain was noted in the males but for all the doses.
- Loss of weight was recorded between days 15 and 18 in 5 female animals in the same cage.
Animal mean body weights (Table 1) and the variations in percentage compared with day 1 (Table 2) are presented in Section "any other information incl. tables". - Food consumption and compound intake (if feeding study):
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- Food consumption of the high dose animals was clearly decreased between days 01 and 04 compared with the control animals (22 % in the males and 28 % in the females):
- A marked decrease in food consumption was noted at the beginning of the study in animals of both sexes receiving the 1000 mg/kg/day. Slight variations were then observed, mainly in the female animals treated with the high dose.
Average feed consumed per day (Table 3) and variations in percentage compared with food consumption of the control animals (Table 4) are presented in Section "any other information incl. tables". - Food efficiency:
- not examined
- Water consumption and compound intake (if drinking water study):
- not examined
- Ophthalmological findings:
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- No ocular abnormality attributable to compound administration was observed after 4 weeks of treatment in the animals given the 1000 mg/kg/day dose.
- Haematological findings:
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- No significant change was noted in the results of haematological examination. In the male animals treated with the 1000 mg/kg/day dose, a slight increase in the number of neutrophils (x 1.8) was noted.
Summary for blood counts (Table 5), Differential white cells (Table 6) and Coagulation (Table 7) are presented in Section "any other information incl. tables". - Clinical biochemistry findings:
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- As far as clinical chemistry was concerned, only the increase in triglycerides (65 %) observed in the female animals of the high dose group appeared to be outside the laboratory norms. A dark coloration of the urine and an increase in urinary proteins was noted in males (x 1.9) and females (x 2.2)of this same group:
- At the 100 and 1000 mg/kg/day doses, a decrease in transaminase ASAT was observed in the males of- 17 % and - 22 % and in the females of 14 % and - 31 %. Moreover, in these two female groups, the alkaline phosphatase level was also decreased by - 24 % and - 28 %.
- At the high dose, in the male animals, transaminase ALAT was slightly raised (x 1.2); triglycerides were decreased in the males by 28 %-and increased in the females by 65 %.
- The phosphorus level was decreased by about 15 % in the males treated with doses of 100 and 1000 mg/kg/day. In the variations mentioned above, the changes in enzyme activity were within physiological limits the level of triglycerides in the female animals was above the upper limit for the species but did not appear to have a pathological nature.
- The other changes noted were considered to be fortuitous and concerned :
--> a slight decrease in serum cholesterol of - 15 % and - 11 % in the males treated at doses of 10 and 100 mg/kg/day,in the females, a minimal rise in proteins and albumin of the order of + 5 % at the 10 mg/kg/day dose and a decrease in globulins of - 6.9 % at the dose of 100 mg/kg/day, the variations in serum potassium level of + 0.5 m Eq/1 in the females of the 100 mg/kg/day dose group and + 0.3 m Eq/1 in the males of the 1000 mg/kg/day dose.
Summary for substrate and enzymes results (Table 8) and Summary for electrolytes results (Table 9) are presented in Section "any other information incl. tables". - Endocrine findings:
- not examined
- Urinalysis findings:
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- Analysis of the results demonstrated a dark coloration and a slight acidification of the urine (males : - 0.7 of a unit ; females : - 0.5 of a unit) as well as an increase in the amount of proteins (x 1.9) in males and x 2.2 in the females) in the 1000 mg/kg/day dose groups.
Urinalysis results – Summary for quantitative analysis (Table 10) are presented in Section "any other information incl. tables". - Behaviour (functional findings):
- not examined
- Immunological findings:
- not examined
- Organ weight findings including organ / body weight ratios:
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- Examination of organ weights only showed changes in the high dose (1000 mg/kg/day dose):
- an increase in relative liver weight of 25 % in males, an increase of 17 % absolute liver weight and 22 % relative liver weight in females,
- an increase in relative kidney weight of 13 % and relative testes weight of 11 % in the males. The increase in organ weights noted in this group could be related to the decrease in bodyweight.
Absolute organ weights results (in grams) (Table 11) and Relative organ weights results (Table 12) are presented in Section "any other information incl. tables". - Gross pathological findings:
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- Macroscopic examination did not reveal any abnormality attributable to compound administration.
- Neuropathological findings:
- not examined
- Histopathological findings: non-neoplastic:
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- Histopathological examination demonstrated changes in the kidney in the males which were attributed to treatment. They were characterised by changes in the cortical tubules, the frequency and severity of which appeared to be related to the administered dose (epithelial necrosis, deposits of anhistic acidophilic substance, basophilia, dilatation). The low dose (10 mg/kg/day) corresponded to the dose which did not induce an adverse effect, the changes observed in this group being approximately comparable to those in the controls. In the females, no compound-related abnormality was observed.
- Histopathological findings: neoplastic:
- not examined

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- In this study, daily oral administration of hydroxybenzomorpholine to rats for 4 weeks did not produce any signs of toxicity at 10 mg/kg/day. The main changes were microscopic findings in the kidneys observed with a dose-related incidence and severity at 100 and 1000 mg/kg/day. The No Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) was considered to be 10 mg/kg/day.
- Executive summary:
The test substance, suspended in a hydrogel containing 2% polysorbate 80 in sterile water (containing dimethicone as an anti-foaming agent), was administered by gavage once daily to groups of Sprague Dawley rats (10/sex) for 30 days (males) and 31 days (females). The dose levels were 10, 100 and 1000 mg/kg bw. The control group (10/sex) received the vehicle alone.
All animals were killed at the end of the study.
All animals were observed twice daily for mortality and clinical signs. Body weights and food consumption were recorded individually at weekly intervals. Ophthalmoscopic examination was performed on day 0 and at termination in the control and high dose group animals only. Blood samples were taken from all animals at day 0 and at termination for haematological and clinical chemistry investigations. Urine samples were collected on day 0 and during week 4. Organ weights were recorded. Macroscopic and histopathologic examination of tissues was undertaken.
Results
No treatment related mortalities were reported. Abnormalities reported in animals treated with 1000 mg/kg bw included; lethargy and excessive salivation, decreased body weight in males, decreased food consumption in the first three days of treatment in both sexes, a slight increase in the number of neutrophils in males, a 65 % increase in triglycerides in females, dark discolouration and slight acidification of the urine and an increase in urinary proteins. The high dose group also showed an increase in both relative and absolute liver, kidney and testis weights.
There were no overt or biochemical signs of toxicity in animals treated with either 10 or 100 mg/kg bw.
Histological examination of the kidneys showed dose-related epithelial necrosis, basophilia and tubular dilation in the cortical tubules in male rats treated with 100 and 1000 mg/kg bw. No effects were seen in animals treated with 10 mg/kg bw per day. No histopathological effects were seen in female rats.
Conclusion
In this study, daily oral administration of hydroxybenzomorpholine to rats for 4 weeks did not produce any signs of toxicity at 10 mg/kg/day. The main changes were microscopic findings in the kidneys observed with a dose-related incidence and severity at 100 and 1000 mg/kg/day. The No Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) was considered to be 10 mg/kg/day.
