Examinations
- Observations and examinations performed and frequency:
- CAGE SIDE OBSERVATIONS: Yes.
- Time schedule: At least once daily during the study
DETAILED CLINICAL OBSERVATIONS: Yes
- Time schedule: Once before commencement of treatment and at least once daily during the study, each animal was observed and any clinical signs were recorded.
BODY WEIGHT: Yes
Males were weighed weekly from allocation to termination.
Females were weighed weekly from allocation to positive identification of mating and on Days 0, 7, 14 and 19 post coitum.
Dams were also weighed on Days 1, 4, 7, 13 post partum and just before necropsy.
FOOD EFFICIENCY:
The weight of food consumed by each cage ofmales and females was recorded weekly during the pre-mating period starting from allocation. Individual food consumption for the females
was measured on Days 7, 14 and 19 post coitum starting from Day 0 post coitum and on Days 4, 7 and 13 post partum starting from Day 1 post partum.
OPHTHALMOSCOPIC EXAMINATION: No
HAEMATOLOGY: Yes
CLINICAL CHEMISTRY: Yes
Dosing phase:
Leucocytosis was recorded in some males from all treated groups, such as: animal nos. X0450032 (200mg/kg/day), X0450058 (500mg/kg/day), X0450064 and X0450070 (1000mg/kg/day).
Compared with mean control data, individual increases were 1.6 to 2.3 fold, with no clear dose-relation.
URINALYSIS: No
NEUROBEHAVIOURAL EXAMINATION: Yes
Once during the study, towards the end of treatment, 5 males and 5 females were randomly selected from each group for evaluation of sensory reactivity to stimuli of different modalities
(e.g. auditory, visual and proprioceptive stimuli); and for assessment of grip strength. For the females, the tests were performed on Day 13 post partum. Measurements were performed
using a computer generated random order (for the main groups).
Once during the study, towards the end of treatment, 5 males and 5 females were randomly selected from each group and the motor activity was measured (for approximately 5 minutes)
by an automated activity recording device. For the females, the tests were performed on Day 13 post partum. Measurements were performed using a computer generated random order
(for the main groups). Once duringWeek 2 of recovery, the motor activity was also measured for all animals. - Sacrifice and pathology:
- GROSS PATHOLOGY: Yes (see report)
HISTOPATHOLOGY: Yes (see report) - Other examinations:
- The tissues required for histopathological examination are listed in the report.
- Statistics:
- Standard deviationswere calculated as appropriate. For continuous variables the significance of the differences amongst group means was assessed by Dunnett’s test or a modified t test, depending on the homogeneity of data. The non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis analysis of variance (non-continuous variables) was used for the other parameters. Intergroup differences between the control and treated groups were assessed by the non-parametric version of the Williams test. Statistical analysis of histopathological findings was carried out by means of the non-parametric Kolmogorov-Smirnov test if ‘n’ was more than 5. The criterion for statistical significance was p < 0.05. The mean values, standard deviations and statistical analysis were calculated from actual values in the computer without rounding off.
Results and discussion
Results of examinations
- Clinical signs:
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- The treatment site was observed daily. During treatment, the observations were performed twice daily (at the end of the treatment period, after the removal of the bandage and approximately 24 hours after treatment start). No signs were observed in control animals of both sexes during the whole study.
- Dermal irritation:
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Mortality:
- mortality observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence):
- One male of the recovery group receiving 1000mg/kg/day was found dead on Day 27 of the study (no. X0450096). Macroscopically, the findings observed in this animal included: distended caecum, red colour or areas of jejunum, mesenteric lymph nodes and thymus. At histopathology, inflammatory cell foci of heart and liver or glandular dilatation of the stomach were noted. Such findings did not establish the factors contributory to the death.
- Body weight and weight changes:
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- Main and Recovery groups
No differences were seen in body weight of treated animals when compared to controls, both in the main and recovery groups.
The only difference noted in body weight gain of the main groups was evident in the high dose males (1000mg/kg/day) on Day 8 of the study and in low dose females (200mg/kg/day) on Day 7 post partum. The differences were considered incidental. - Food consumption and compound intake (if feeding study):
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- Main and Recovery groups
Food consumption was unaffected by treatment in both sexes during the study. - Food efficiency:
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- Main and Recovery groups
Food efficiency was unaffected by treatment in both sexes during the study. - Water consumption and compound intake (if drinking water study):
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- Main and Recovery groups
Water consumption was unaffected by treatment in both sexes during the study. - Ophthalmological findings:
- not examined
- Haematological findings:
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- Dosing phase
Leucocytosis was recorded in some males from all treated groups, such as: animal nos. X0450032 (200mg/kg/day), X0450058 (500mg/kg/day), X0450064 and X0450070 (1000mg/kg/day).
Compared with mean control data, individual increases were 1.6 to 2.3 fold, with no clear dose-relation.
Recovery phase
No changes of the white blood cells were recorded in treated males, confirming complete reversibility.
The statistically significant difference of platelets recorded between controls and treated males was not recorded at the dosing phase, therefore it was considered unrelated to treatment.
Coagulation - Dosing phase
No relevant changes were recorded.
Coagulation - Recovery phase
No relevant changes were recorded. - Clinical biochemistry findings:
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- Main groups - Dosing phase
Phosphorus was increased in males dosed at 500 and 1000mg/kg/day. Mean group data were 16% and 19%, respectively, above controls. Since changes were of slight severity and there were no other related findings, these increases were considered of no toxicological importance. The other statistically significant differences recorded between control and treated females (decreases of creatinine and phosphorus in females) were recorded in the low and/or intermediate groups only, therefore they were considered incidental. - Urinalysis findings:
- not examined
- Behaviour (functional findings):
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- Main and Recovery groups
Observation of animals at removal from the cage and in an open arena (neurotoxicity assessment) did not reveal changes attributable to the test item.
Main groups
Motor activity recorded at the end of the treatment period was comparable between control and treated main groups.
Statistically significant increase in landing foot splay measurement (individual and mean data for first and second trials) was noted in treated males of Group 4 (1000mg/kg/day) when compared to the control group. The variation was considered of no toxicological significance, since it was observed in only one sex. - Immunological findings:
- not examined
- Organ weight findings including organ / body weight ratios:
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- Final and recovery sacrifice
No relevant changes were observed on terminal body weight of treated animals, when compared to the controls.
No relevant changes were observed in the absolute and relative organ weights of treatment groups of both sexes, when compared to control data. The changes observed in absolute
prostate and thymus weights in high dose males, relative adrenals weight in treated males or relative brain and liver weights in high dose males could be considered without toxicological
relevance, since the histopathological evaluation of these organs was comparable to control animals. - Gross pathological findings:
- no effects observed
- Neuropathological findings:
- no effects observed
- Histopathological findings: non-neoplastic:
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- An increased severity of hyaline droplets accumulation in kidneys from moderate to marked degree was observed in high dose males, when compared with controls. However, since the increase in hyaline droplets in the kidneys is not relevant for human, it was decided not to proceed with the extension of histopathological examination.
- Histopathological findings: neoplastic:
- no effects observed
- Other effects:
- no effects observed
- Details on results:
- No relevant changes were recorded in terminal body weight and organ weights (absolute and relative) in animals of both sexes, when compared to the control group. At macroscopic observations, no treatment-related changes were noted.
At microscopic observations changes were noted in the kidneys of high dose males, when compared with controls. An increased severity of hyaline droplets accumulation in kidneys from moderate to marked degree was observed in high dose males.
