The order in which mated females were assigned corresponded to the day the copulatory plug was observed and the order in which the animal appeared on the breeding record.
-Rationale for test system: The rat is acceptable model for developmental toxicity studies. The laboratory has historical control data on the incidence of parameters in this strain from this source. This strain is susceptible to known developmental toxicants.

-Soft tissue examinations: Yes, about 1/2 of the fetuses were placed in Bouin’s solution for subsequent soft tissue examination using Wilson’s razor blade sectioning techniques.
-Skeletal examinations: Yes, about 1/2 of the fetuses were fixed in ethanol, macerated with KOH, stained with Alizarin Red S and cleared with glycerin for subsequent skeletal examinations. Fetal findings were classified as malformations or developmental variations.
-Head examinations: No - Statistics:
- All statistical analysis compared the treatment groups with the control with the level of significance at p≤0.05 and p≤0.01. All means were accompanied by standard deviations.
Mean maternal body weight, body weight changes, mean number of corpora lutea, total implantations, live fetuses, gravid uterine weight and mean fetal body weights were compared by one-way analysis of variance, Bartlett’s test for homogeneity of variance, and the appropriate t-test. Significance of difference was determined by Dunnet’s multiple comparison tables or pair wise comparison with a Bonferroni’s correction.
Male to female sex ratios and proportions of litters with malformations and developmental variations were compare using Chi-square test or Fisher’s exact probability test to determine the significance of difference.
The proportions of resorbed and dead fetuses and post-implantation losses were compared by the Mann-Whitney U-test to determine the significance of difference.
Results and discussion
Results: maternal animals
Maternal developmental toxicity
- Details on maternal toxic effects:
- Maternal toxic effects:yes. Remark: (at 363 mg/kg body weight)
Details on maternal toxic effects:
MORTALITY: No mortality was observed during the study.
CLINICAL OBSERVATIONS: Presence of test material around the nose and/or mouth was observed at the high dose level in four animals. Test material around the mouth was observed in a single animal at mid dose level but was not considered to be treatment related. Post dose pharmacological signs of increased salivation in all animals and decreased activity in two animals were observed in the high dose group. Increased salivation was also observed in low incidence in themid dose group.
MATERNAL BODY WEIGHTS AND BODY WEIGHT CHANGES:
A statistically and biologically significant inhibition of body weight gain was observed in the high dose group relative to the control group during the first treatment interval of gestation Days 6–9 and during the overall treatment period of gestation Days 0–20.
A slight inhibition of maternal body weight gain was observed for the treatment interval of gestation Days 6–9 and Days 12–16 in the high dose group when compared with the control group.
A slight increase in maternal body weight gain was observed for treatment interval of gestation Days 16-20 at the high dose level when compared with the control group. This increase was considered to be compensatory for the earlier inhibition and therefore considered to be related to treatment.
NECROPSY FINDINGS: No treatment related differences were noted at necropsy; all findings were observed in low incidence.
CESAREAN SECTION EXAMINATION:
No treatment related differences were observed with regards to cesarean section parameters; values in the treated group were generally comparable with those of control group.

MALFORMATIONS
No biologically meaningful difference was observed between the incidence of fetal malformations in the treated groups and that of control groups. The malformation occurred were primarily in single incidences were sporadically dispersed among the control and treated groups. No dose related trend was observed with regard to malformations.
DEVELOPMENTAL VARIATIONS:
The incidence and type of developmental variations observed among fetuses from treated group were generally comparable with those of the control group, or observed in sporadic instances with no apparent dose related trend. There was a slight increase in incidence of fetuses observed with unossified sternabrae in the mid and high-dose groups, however, no dose related trend was observed. The variation observed were considered to be due to normal biological variability and not related to treatment.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Administration of the test substance to female rats by oral gavage during Days 6-15 of gestation at dose levels of 0, 15, 150 and 363 mg/kg bw/day resulted in a NOAEL of ≥ 363 mg/kg bw for developmental toxicity.
- Executive summary:
The developmental toxicity study of Glucamide 24 was conducted following methods comparable to the OECD Guideline 414 (Prenatal Developmental Toxicity Study).
Sexually mature female Crl:CD VAF/Plus® rats (Source: Charles River Laboratories, Portage, Michigan), weighing 221–227 g were used in this study. After receipt, animals were acclimated for 10 days and maintained under standard laboratory conditions (temperature: 7 –73°F, relative humidity: 39 – 50%, photoperiod: 12 hrs dark / 12 hrs fluorescent light). The animals were housed individually in suspended, stainless steel wire-mesh cages from receipt until euthanasia except during mating. The animals were fed on Certified Rodent Chow # 5002 and tap water, ad libitum.
One male and one female rat of same source and same strain were placed together for mating. The presence of a copulatory plug was taken as Day 0 of gestation. Mated females were consecutively assigned to the following treatment groups of 25 females each:
0 (vehicle control), 15, 150 and 363 mg/kg bw
Deionized water served as the vehicle control. The test substance was administered to mated female rats by oral gavage once daily beginning from Day 6 through to Day 15 of gestation. All animals were observed twice daily for mortality and at least once daily for detailed clinical observations. Body weights were recorded on Days 0, 6, 9, 12, 16, and 20 of gestation.
On Day 20 of gestation, animals were euthanized and cesarean section examinations were performed. The ovaries and uterine content (number of corpora lutea, number of implantations, and numbers of early and late resorptions, number and distribution of implantation sites) were examined after sacrifice.
Individual fetuses were weighed, sexed, tagged and examined for external malformations and variations. About half of all fetuses were examined for soft tissue changes using Wilson’s razor blade sectioning techniques. The other half of fetuses were fixed in ethanol, macerated with KOH, stained with Alizarin Red S and cleared with glycerin for subsequent skeletal examinations. Fetal findings were classified as malformations or developmental variations.
No mortality was observed during the study. No treatment related differences were noted at necropsy; all findings were observed in low incidence.
No treatment related differences were observed with regards to cesarean section parameters; values in the treated group were generally comparable with those of control group.
Maternal toxicity manifested as test material around the nose and/or mouth, post dose increased salivation and decreased activity, and significant inhibition of maternal body weight gain at the 363 mg/kg bw dose level.
The incidence of malformations and variations observed among fetuses in the treated group were generally comparable with those of the control group. The observations were sporadic with no apparent dose related trend. Therefore, no apparent developmental toxicity was observed at any dose level evaluated in the study.
Based on above, administration of Glucamide 24to female Crl:CD VAF/Plus rats by oral gavage during Days 6-15 of gestation at dose levels of 0, 15, 150 and 363 mg/kg bw/day resulted in a NOAEL of ≥ 363 mg/kg bw for developmental toxicity
The NOAEL for maternal toxicity was established at 150 mg/kg bw (based on clinical observations and body weight).
This developmental toxicity study is acceptable and satisfies the OECD Guideline 414 requirement.
