Details on study design:
- Dose selection rationale:
As a range finding study, a 7-day repeated-dose oral toxicity study of test item in rats was performed. In this study, three male and three female of Crl:CD(SD) rats in each group were treated orally with the test substance dissolved in purified water at dose levels of 0, 25, 250, 500 and 1000 mg/kg/day for 7 days.
Body weights gain were strongly suppressed in the 1000 mg/kg group in the7 days study. Sever toxicities such as death were expected when this dose was set at 28-day study. Thus, the high dose was selected at 750 mg/kg/day to show toxicities by the test substance without death. Lower dose levels were chosen at 150 and 30 mg/kg/day with common ratio of five.
- Rationale for animal assignment: allocated using body weight-stratified randomization
- Fasting period before blood sampling for clinical biochemistry: approx. 16 hours from the afternoon at the last day of the dosing period for the main groups and at the last day of the recovery period for the recovery groups to each next morning.
- Recovery groups: high dose and vehicle control groups without treatrnent for 14 days after the dosing period.
Positive control:
Not performed
Observations and examinations performed and frequency:
- General Clinical Observations:
During the dosing period animals were observed twice a day; before dosing, between just after dosing and approx. 30 minutes after dosing from day 1 to day 9, and three times a day; before dosing, between just after dosing and approx. 2 hours after dosing, and in the afternoon (until 6 hours and 30 minutes after dosing) from day 10. The animals were observed once a day during the recovery period.
- Detailed Clinical Observations:
Detailed clinical observations were performed in all animals once before dosing. Thereafter, the animals were examined once a week during the dosing and recovery periods on a blind test basis. The blind test was performed using the random numbers and observation labels without identifying the dosing groups.
- Sensorimotor Function Examinations:
All animals were examined in week 4 of the dosing period. Reflex tests and measurements of grip strength were performed on a blind test basis. In the recovery period the examinations were not performed since no abnormalities related to the test substance were observed in the high dose groups during the dosing period.
- Body Weight Measurements:
Body weights were measured using an electric balance for all animals on days 1, 3, 8, 12, 17, 21 , 26 and 28 of the dosing period, on days 1, 5, 10 and 14 of the recovery period, and on the necropsy days (before carrying animals from the animal room).
- Food Consumption Measurements:
Food weights were measured for all animals at the following days: feeding weights at the group allocation, remainder weights on days 1, 3, 8, 15, 22 and 28 of the dosing period, feeding weights on day 1 of the recovery, and remainder weights on days 4, 8 and 14 of the recovery period. Feeding weight on days 8, 15 and 22 of the dosing period and on day 8 of the recovery period were measured after food was replenished.

- Urinalyses:
Collecting urine samples: Urine samples were collected in individual metabolic cages (150 Wx200 Dx263 H mm) with drinking water and without food for approx. 16 hours from the afternoon at the last day of the dosing period for the main groups and at the last day of the recovery period for the recovery groups to each next morning.
Parameters and Methods: Urine samples were examined for parameters in the following table 1. Urinary sediments were stained and examined in males and females of all groups including the control, low, middle and recovery groups since abnormalities related to the test substance were noted in both sex of the high dose group.

- Clinical Laboratory Investigations:
Blood sampling and preparation of test samples: Blood was collected from the abdominal aorta under isoflurane anesthesia after the urine collection (fasting for 16-20 hour) on the next day of the last dosing for the main groups and the last withdrawal day for the recovery groups. Serum was stored at -20℃.
Hematological examinations: Whole blood or plasma samples were used to determine the following parameters in table 2.
Blood Chemical Examinations: Serum samples were used to determine the following parameters in table 3.
Sacrifice and pathology:
- Gross Necropsy:
All animals were subjected to a detailed gross necropsy after blood sampling. External surface of the body, all orifices, subcutis, cranial, thoracic, abdominal and pelvic cavities, and their contents were observed.
Vaginal smears were collected before the gross necropsy for females, and the stages of estrous cycle were determined with light microscope after Giemsa staining.
The organs and tissues were collected and weighted.
- Histopathological Examinations:
The organs and tissues were preserved in 10% neutralized buffered formalin. Bone marrow and bone were decalcified with 10% formnic acid/formalin and preserved in 10% neutralized buffered formalin. The testes and epididymides were fixed in modified Davidson's fixative.
Light microscopic examinations were performed for the organs and tissues after embedding in paraffin, sectioning and hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining. Spleen was stained with Berlin blue in each male and female of the control and 750 mg/kg groups since brown pigments were observed in the spleen stained with HE and hemosiderin deposition was suggested.
Statistics:
Data regarding body weights, food consumption, grip strength and locomotor activity counts during the dosing period and parameters of hematological and blood chemical examinations, urine volume, urine osmotic pressure, organ weights and body weights on the necropsy day of the main groups were analyzed by the Bartlett's test for homogeneity of variances. When the variances were homogeneous at a significance level of 5%, the Dunett's test was used. When the variances were not homogeneous, the nonparametric Dunnett's test was used. The frequencies of defecation and urination during the dosing period were analyzed by the nonparametric Dunnett's test.
Data regarding body weights, food consumption, grip strength and locomotor activity during the recovery period, and parameters of hematological and blood chemical examinations, urine volume, urine osmotic pressure, organ weights and body weights on the necropsy day of the recovery groups were analyzed by the F-test for variance ratio. When there were no significant differences at a significance level of 5% in this analysis, the Student's t-test was used. When there was a significant difference in the F-test, the Aspin-Welch t-test was used. The frequencies of defecation and urination during the recovery period were analyzed by the Mann-Whitney U-test.
Qualitative data of the detailed clinical examination, reflex test and urinalyses, incidence data of the necropsy and histopathology were evaluated with the Fisher's exact test. Graded histopathological data were evaluated by the Mann-Whitney U test.
All evaluation was two-sided and statistical significance were judged at p< 1 or 5% compared to the control group.

Executive summary:

A 28-day repeated-dose oral toxicity study of test item was performed to characterize the toxicity of the test substance in accordance with OECD 407. Male and female CrI:CD(SD) rats at 5 weeks old were treated orally with test item dissolved in purified water for 28 days at 0 (purified water), 30, 150 and 750 mg/kg/day.

In the clinical observations, salivation and decreased spontaneous locomotion in males and females, incomplete eyelid opening in one male and one female, and decreased respiratory rate in one male were observed in the 750 mg/kg group.

In the detailed clinical observations, salivation was observed in males and females of the 750 mg/kg group in week 4.

In the 750 mg/kg group, body weights were decreased in males from day 8 to the end of the dosing period, and in females from day 17 of the dosing period to day 3 of the recovery period.

Food consumption in the 750 mg/kg group was significantly decreased in males on day 3 and in females from day 3 to day 15 during the dosing period, and food consumption was slightly decreased in males and females of the 750 mg/kg group throughout the dosing period.

In the hematology, RBC, hemoglobin conc., hematocrit value and MCHC were decreased, and reticulocytes and WBC were increased in females of the 750 mg/kg group.

In the blood chemical examinations, total bilirubin was increased in males and females of the 750 mg/kg group.

In the organ weights, relative weight of the spleen was increased in males and females of the 750 mg/kg group.

In the histopathological examinations, hemogiderin deposition in the spleen was observed in males and females of the 750 mg/kg group. Congestion and increased hematopoiesis in the spleen were observed in one each female of the 750 mg/kg group.

No toxic effect due to test substance administration was observed in the functional observations, urinalyses or necropsy.

At the end of the recovery period, increased reticulocytes and hemogiderin deposition in the spleen in males and females, increased total bilirubin, increased absolute and relative weights of the spleen in males, and decreased RBC and MCHC in females were observed in the 750 mg/kg group. However, the severity of anemia was decreased and reversibility of the effects of the test substance was good.

From these results, the No-Observed-Adverse-Effect Level (NOAEL) of test item under the conditions tested was estimated to be 150 mg/kg/day since anemia and decreased body weights were mainly observed in males and females of the 750 mg/kg group.
