HISTOPATHOLOGY: Yes (see table) / No / Not specified - Statistics:
- A one-way analysis of variance with treatment and block factors was used for all variates. Following analysis of variance, differences between the control and treated group means were assessed for significance using the Williams' t test (Williams, 1971; Williams 1975). On occasions where a monotonic dose response could not be assumed, Dunnett's test was used (Dunnett, 1964).
Body and organ weights are reported as analysed with initial body weight as a covariate provided a significant covariance relationship was observed.
Organ weights were further analysed using terminal body weight as a covariate. Although not a true covariance analysis, the analysis does provide an aid to the interpretation of organ weights when there are differences in terminal body weights. The analysis attempts to estimate what the organ weights would have been if all the animals had had the same terminal body weight.
Wilcoxon's two sample rank sum test (Hill and Peto, 1971; Lehman, 1961) was used for BANDS (non-segmented polymorphic neutrophils) and IGT. Food intakes, and other clinical chemistry and haematology variates were examined using the analysis of variance. - Clinical signs:

- CLINICAL OBSERVATIONS AND MORTALITY:
All top dose animals were comatose within a few hours of their first dose, except one male which became ataxic and then died and two males which were ataxic for about 5 hours. The coma lasted several hours, most animals recovered overnight but some died in coma or were humanely killed the next day; two others died or were killed after being comatose subsequent to their second dose. Few toxic signs were observed among the surviving animals, although coma did occur sporadically after approximately one dose in 13. One female died after being comatose in the last week of dosing.
Several of the animals with ataxia repeatedly scrached their heads.
Three animals appeared to have blood in their urine, two of these subsequently died.
At 500 mg/kg one male and four females had ataxia or abasia on the first day of dosing only, one other female had ataxia and abasia on the third day of dosing only; they had no other signs of toxicity.
Animals in the other dose groups survived to the end of the study with no significant clinical signs.
BODY WEIGHT AND FOOD INTAKE
The top dose animals had reduced food intakes and only gained about half as much body weight as the controls. The 500 mg/kg animals and the 100 mg/kg females had reduced body weights and food intakes throughout the study, although this was not always statistically significant.
ORGAN WEIGHTS
Liver weights were increased at 100, 500 and 1000 mg/kg in males, and at 500 and 1000 mg/kg in females. These increases may be related to a functional hypertrophy caused by exposure to xenobiotics resulting in a stimulation of the normal detoxification system.
Kidney weights were increased in both sexes at 1000 mg/kg, and at 500 mg/kg in males. this may be related to the blood seen in the urine of the top dose animals and the histopathological finfings.
Adrenal weights were increased in all top dose animals. The top doses males showed a small statistically significant increase in heart weight, of no toxicological importance.
PATHOLOGY
Treatment related macroscopic and microscopic observations were only found in the top dose group.
The livers of the top dose group had a range of minor tinctorial changes visible macroscopically that were inconsistent and of uncertain significance. Several animals had histological changes consistent with enzym induction, and a macrovesicular vacuolation which is considered related to treatment. the bladders of premature decedents had a range of lesions from mild submucosal haemorrhage to severe haemorrhagic cystitis. This typ of lesion is normally due to the presence of an irritant material in the bladder, i.e. the test substance or metabolite in the urine. No other treatment related histopathological changes were identified.
HAEMATOLOGY AND CLINICAL CHEMISTRY
Female rats at 500 and 1000 mg/kg had mild macrocytic hypochromic anaemia i.e. reduced haemoglobin and mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration, and an increased erythrocyte volume. Females at 500 mg/kg also had a reduced erythrocyte count. At 100 mg/kg females gat a very mild normochromic anaemia i.e. reduced haemoglobin.
Male rats had no significant signs of anaemia as such, but both males and females had evidence of compensation for anaemia. Females at 10 to 100 mg/kg and males at 100 to 1000 mg/kg had increased reticulocytes and all animals at 100 mg/kg had increased normoblasts (females hat a non statistically significant increase).
Males had increased platelet counts at 100 to 1000 mg/kg and increased plateletcrit at 500 and 1000 mg/kg; females had an increased platelet count at 1000 mg/kg only. Mean platelet volumes were decreased at 500 and 1000 mg/kg in males and 100 to 1000 mg/kg in females. Females at 500 and 1000 mg/kg had increased polymorphic neutrophils and decreased in lymphocytes at 1000 mg/kg. This may reflect a mild inflammatory reaction. other small statistically sifnificant haematological changes are of no toxicological importance.
The haematological findings in the higher dose level my be related to the haemorrhagic effects seen in the bladders of the decedents i.e. the anaemia and increased platelets could be due to haemorrhage earlier in the study.
Although no macroscopic changes were observed at necropsy in the bladders of the survivors, it is likely that some haemorrhage did occur early in the study in some survivors e.g. blood was seen in the urine of one of the males in the top dose group on day 1.
All top dose animals had increased serum bilirubin, probably related to the increase in erythrocyte turnover.
Urea nitrogen and creatinine were increased at 500 mg/kg in males and decreased at 1000 mg/kg in females. There were no treatment related histopathological changes in the kidney, but kidney weights were increased in these groups as well as in the 1000 mg/kg males.
Cholesterol levels were increased in the 100 and 500 mg/kg males and triglycerides were decreased in females at 100 to 1000 mg/kg.
Alkaline phosphate levels were markedly decreased at 500 and 1000 mg/kg in both sexes. A decrease of this magnitude was probably due to a reduction in the intestinal alkaline phosphatase isoenzyme, brought about by either the reduced food intakes, or a direct effect of the compound on the intestine.
Other statistically significant clinical chemical differences are not toxicologically important. - Key result

Additional information
In a 28 day toxicity study, seven male and seven female Fischer 344 rats were dosed with polyethylene glycol/water solutions of the test substance once daily by oral intubation at 1000, 500, 100, 10 and 1 mg/kg bw/day. The controls were dosed with solvent only. Food intakes and body weight were measured weekly and the animals were observed daily for clinical signs of toxicology. After 28 days the surviving animals were killed and subjected to gross necropsy, clinical chemical, haematological and histopathological examinations. The test substance has a transient effect on the central nervous system, causing coma or ataxia in all top dose animals and ataxia or abasia in about half the 500 mg/kg animals. At the top dose, three males and four females died or were killed on human grounds in the first four days of dosing and one female died in the last week of the study. Those that survived at the top dose showed few other toxic signs, although coma did occur sporadically throughout the study.
Food intakes and bodyweights were reduced at 100 to 1000 mg/kg in both sexes. Liver weights were increased at 100 to 1000 mg/kg in males and at 500 and 1000 mg/kg in females, with histological evidence of enzyme induction and a macrovesicular vacuolation at 1000 mg/kg in both sexes. Kidney weights were increased at 500 and 1000 mg/kg in males and at 1000 mg/kg in females. There were increases in plasma urea nitrogen and creatinine at 500 mg/kg in males and decreases in these parameters at 1000 mg/kg in females but there were no treatment related histopathologicl changes. The bladders of the decedents showed signs of irritation ranging from mild submucosal haemorrhage to a severe haemorrhagic cystitis, but the bladders of survivors were normal. Females had increased reticulocytes at 10 to 100 mg/kg; males had a similar increase at 100 to 1000 mg/kg and an increase in normoblasts at 1000 mg/kg. Platelet counts were increased at 100 to 1000 mg/kg in males and at 1000 mg/kg in females. Platelet volumes were decreased at 100 to 1000 mg/kg in females and at 500 and 1000 mg/kg in males. Females had a slight reduction in haemaoglobin at 100 and 500 mg/kg, a reduced erythrocyte count at 500 mg/kg and increased corpuscular volume with decreased corpuscular haemoglobin concentration at 500 and 1000 mg/kg. These findings indicate a mild anaemia in females from 100 to 1000 mg/kg and a fully compensated anaemia in males at 100 to 1000 mg/kg and females at 10 mg/kg. The anaemia is probably of haemorrhagic origin, although the source of haemorrhagy could not be clearly defined. Alkaline phosphate levels were markedly decreased at 500 and 1000 mg/kg in both sexes. Cholesterol was increased in males at 100 and 500 and triglycerides were decreased in females at 100 to 1000 mg/kg.
In a 14 day oral toxicity study, the test substance was administered to Sprague Dawley rats via feed at doses of 250, 800, or 2500 ppm. No clinical observations or treatment-related mortality was observed. Body weights, food consumption, and hematological and clinical chemistry parameters did not indicate test article-related toxicity. A statistically significant increase in the organ-to-body weight ratio for the liver was present in males at the 800 and 2500 ppm levels. The increase in liver weight was considered to be the result of a physiological adaptation by the liver in an attempt to metabolize the test compound. Microscopic examination of the kidneys revealed a compound-related
increase in the formation of hyaline droplets in the epithelial cells of the proximal convoluted tubules in males at all dose levels. Hyaline droplets are commonly seen in the epithelium of the kidney tubules in male Sprague-Dawley rats between 50-150 days of age. The droplets represent an accumulation of a protein known as alpha2uglobulin. In this study, the presence of hyaline droplets was exaggerated in males at all dose levels. The droplets were not associated with an increase or decrease in any clinical chemistry parameter related to renal function (esp. creatinine and urea nitrogen) or with any necrosis of the kidney tubules. Thus, the toxicological significance of exaggera-ed hyaline droplet formation in the epithelium of the kidney tubules after 14 days of feeding the test substance is unknown.. No other systemic toxicological or pathological effects related to administration of the test substance were observed in any animal.
Justification for classification or non-classification
The data available indicate an effect on the hematopoietic system in doses relevant for classification. However, these effects are probably of hemorrhagic origin which could not be specified in the course of this study. They are further very mild in females and fully compensated in males with only limited dose-response relationship. Therefore, according to Regulation (EU) 1272/2008 (CLP), the classification criteria are not fulfilled and non-classification of the test substance is warranted.
