Details on results (P0)
BODY WEIGHT AND FOOD CONSUMPTION (PARENTAL ANIMALS): No evidence of an effect on the bodyweight of rats during premating, gestation and lactation.
FOOD CONSUMPTION AND UTILISATION(PARENTAL ANIMALS): Food consumption was increased compared to controls in males and to a lesser extent, in females receiving 20000 ppm. Food utilisation was less efficient in rats receiving 20000 ppm.
REPRODUCTIVE PERFORMANCE (PARENTAL ANIMALS): No evidence of effects on pre-coital interval, length of gestation, number of animals successfully mating and number of whole litter losses
ORGAN WEIGHTS (PARENTAL ANIMALS): Kidney weights were increased in both sexes receiving 20000 and 5000 ppm. Testes weights were slightly increased in males receiving 20000 ppm.
GROSS PATHOLOGY (PARENTAL ANIMALS): Apart from test substance colouration other findings were not treatment related. Dose related blue discolouration of a wide variety of tissues with the majority of animals affected at 20000 ppm and a lesser number at 5000 ppm. Intestinal contents and the tail, limb and other skin sites were also discoloured in some rats at 1000 ppm. Dose related increased incidence of dark kidneys at all dose groups in both sexes and a dose related increased incidence of dark spleens in males at all dose groups.
HISTOPATHOLOGY (PARENTAL ANIMALS): Treatment related increase in the severity of tubular basophilia in the kidneys in males at 20000 and females at 20000 and 5000 ppm.
OTHER FINDINGS (PARENTAL ANIMALS): Microscopic findings in infertile animals: A number of findings were present to explain the infertility in some rats including dystocia, endometritis, vaginitis, or imperforate vagina. However in the majority of rats no pathological change was observed to explain the reproductive failure. There were no treatment related findings observed in these rats with the possible exception of two female rats dosed at 20000ppm with slight tubular basophilia.

Achieved dose rates
Dose rates (based on nominal dietary levels of H112323) were calculated in terms of mg H1I2323/kg body weight/day. As expected these were at a maximum in the early phase of the pre-pairing period in each generation and declined during the period of rapid growth. The mean dose received was 113, 565 and 2430 mg/kg bw/day in males and 121, 615 and 2569 mg/kg bw/day in females receiving 1000, 5000 or 20000 ppm H112323, respectively. The high dose is double the limit dose level required for a single generation study,
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Dietary administration of test substance in one generation study to rats resulted in no adverse reproductive effects. No treatment related effect was observed in the reproductive system or in the offspring at dietary levels up to and including 20000 ppm calculating to mean dose levels of 2430 mg/kg bw/day in male and 2569 mg/kg bw/day in female rats
- Executive summary:
A reproduction study was conducted in rats by dietary administration of test substance at target dosage levels of 0, 1000, 5000, or 20000 ppm for one generation. The study was conducted according to OECD Guideline 415 and Annex V to Council Directive 67/548/EEC, OJEC L133 43-46, 1988 (One-generation reproduction toxicity test) in compliance with GLP.
Groups of 26 male and 26 female (P0parents) weanling AIpk: APfSD (Wistar-derived) rats were fed diet containing 0 (control), 1000, 5000 or 20000 ppm test substance. After 10 wk, the animals were mated and allowed to rear the ensuing F1A litters to weaning. Clinical observations, bodyweights, food consumption and utilisation and reproductive performance were performed on all parent animals. Numbers of pups, pup survival, pup and litter weights were assessed in litters/pups. In addition a full range of tissues was taken and examined microscopically from 10 males and 10 females per group at scheduled termination.
Dose rates (based on nominal dietary levels of H112323) were calculated in terms of mg H112323/kg body weight/day. As expected these were at a maximum in the early phase of the pre-pairing period in each generation and declined during the period of rapid growth. The mean dose received was 113, 565 and 2430 mg/kg bw/day in males and 121, 615 and 2569 mg/kg bw/day in females receiving 1000, 5000 or 20000 ppm H112323, respectively. The high dose is double the limit dose level required for a single generation study.
The main clinical observations were related to blue staining of the animals by the test substance. Blue colouration was evident on the coat and skin and in the oral cavity of rats of all treatment groups. Some rats in the 20000 ppm group also had blue eyes and a small number of rats in the 5000 and 20000 ppm groups were also observed to have blue urine. There was no evidence of an effect on bodyweight at any dose level of test substance. Food consumption was increased and food utilisation was less efficient in males receiving 20000 ppm, resulting from the high amount of test compound in the food. There was no evidence of an effect of administration of test substance on any of the reproductive parameters assessed. No adverse effects were observed in the offspring.
Kidney weights were increased in both sexes receiving 20000 and 5000 ppm. However the difference from control was only statistically significant in females at the 5000 ppm dose level. There was a dose related blue discolouration of a wide variety of tissues including the kidneys with the majority of animals affected at 20000 ppm and a lesser number at 5000 ppm. was a treatment related increase in the severity of tubular basophilia in the kidneys. Slight or moderate lesions were present in males at 20000 and females at 20000 and 5000 ppm. This finding is most likely related to a re-absorption of the test substance trough the renal tubuli. Although minimal degrees of this change were not present in the designated control rats at termination an incidence of one rat from the infertile group was observed in males. There were no effects on the kidney in rats receiving 1000 ppm. No treatment related effect was observed in the reproductive system at dietary levels up to and including 20000 ppm.
Under the test conditions, dietary administration of test substance in one generation study to rats resulted in increase in kidney weights with associated microscopic changes at 20000 ppm in both sexes and at females receiving 5000 ppm. No treatment related effects were observed at any dose levels on the reproductive organs or of the offspring. Consequently, the NOAEL for reproductive toxicity was determined to be 20000 ppmcalculating to mean dose levels of 2430 mg/kg bw/day in male and 2569 mg/kg bw/day in female rats.
