TEST SUBSTANCE FORMULATION
- Stability of test substance in vehicle: stable in 1% aqueous carboxymethyl cellulose for at least 6 hours at room temperature over the concentration range 10 to 200 mg/mL (determined during this project).
- Method of formulation: formulations (w/w) were prepared daily, were homogenised to a visually acceptable level and dosed as soon as possible after preparation with a maximum of 2.5 hours after preparation. No adjustment was made for specific gravity of the test substance, vehicle, and/or
formulation. In order to obtain homogeneity, the test substance formulations were heated in a water bath with a maximum temperature of 45 °C for a maximum of 22 minutes. The test substance formulations were allowed to cool down to a temperature at a maximum of 40 °C prior to dosing.
Based on results of the thermal analysis performed by NOTOX (NOTOX project 488541), reaction and/or decomposition of the test substance were observed above approximately 175°C and, therefore, the test substance was considered to be stable at 45°C. - Analytical verification of doses or concentrations:
- yes
- Details on analytical verification of doses or concentrations:
- - Analyses were performed on a single occasion after the treatment phase according to a validated method (NOTOX Project 488541).
- The accuracy of preparation was considered acceptable if the mean measured concentrations were 85-115%. Homogeneity was demonstrated if the coefficient of variation was <= 10%. Formulations were considered stable if the relative difference before and after storage was maximally 10%. - Details on mating procedure:
- - M/F ratio per cage: 1/1
- Length of cohabitation: a minimum of 14 days of exposure
- Proof of pregnancy: sperm in vaginal lavage or by appearance of an intravaginal copulatory plug referred to as day 0 post coitum

- Males: exposed for 30 days, i.e, 2 weeks prior to mating, during mating, and up to termination
Females: exposed for 42-44 days, i.e, during 2 weeks prior to mating, during mating, post-coitum, and during at least 4 days of lactation
Offspring: not treated - Frequency of treatment:

Mortality/Viability: The numbers of live and dead pups at the First Lilter Check (=check at Day 1 of lactation) and daily thereafter were determined. lf possible, defects or cause of death were evaluated.
Clinical signs: At least once daily, detailed clinical observations (including abnormal behaviour) were made in all animals.
Body weights: Live pups were weighed during lactation on Days 1 and 4.
Sex: was determined for all pups on Days 1 and 4 of lactation (by assessment of the ano-genital distance). - Statistics:
- - If the variables could be assumed to follow a normal distribution, the Dunnett-test (Dunnett, 1955) (many-to-one t-test) based on a pooled variance estimate was applied for the comparison of the treated groups and the control groups for each sex.
- The Steel-test (Miller, 1981) (many-to-one rank test) was applied if the data could not be assumed to follow a normal distribution.
- The Fisher Exact-test (Fisher, 1950) was applied to frequency data.
- No statistical analysis was performed on histopathology findings
All tests were two-sided and in all cases p < 0.05 was accepted as the lowest level of significance. - Historical control data:
- - Results were compared with historical control data.
- No detailed data available in study

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- In conclusion, treatment with Isostearic acid, esters with methyl α-D-glucoside by oral gavage in male and female Wistar Han rats at dose levels of 0, 50, 150 and 1000 mg/kg bw/d revealed parental toxicity at 1000 mg/kg bw/day. No reproduction, breeding and developmental toxicity was observed for treatment up to 1000 mg/kg bw/day.
- Executive summary:
In a Combined Repeated Dose Toxicity Study with the Reproduction/Developmental Toxicity Screening Test according OECD 422 test substance Isostearic acid, esters with methyl α-D-glucoside (100% UVCB substance (80% Methyl Glucoside Isostearate Esters (mainly Di-), 16% Isostearic Acid, 4% Methyl Glucoside)) in 1% aqueous carboxymethyl cellulose was administered to 10 male and 10 female Wistar Han rats/dose group by daily oral gavage at dose levels of 0, 50, 150, and 1000 mg/kg bw/day. The males were exposed for 2 weeks prior to mating, during mating, and up to termination (for 30 days). The females were exposed for 2 weeks prior to mating, during mating, post-coitum, and at least 4 days of lactation (for 42 to 44 days). 10 litters per dose group were delivered.
At 1000 mg/kg bw/day statistically significantly reduced haemoglobin, cholesterol and total protein levels (males), and elevated white blood cell counts (determined for only two females) plus alkaline phosphatase levels (males) were found. Increased liver weights (absolute and relative) were noted for high dose males and females.
No treatment-related changes were noted in any of the remaining parameters investigated in this study (i.e. reproduction, breeding, pup development, and of the adults: mortality, clinical appearance, functional observations, body weight, food consumption, macroscopic and microscopic examination,).
The parental NOEL is 150 mg/kg bw/day, based on the findings noted at 1000 mg/kg bw/day
The parental NOAEL is >= 1000 mg/kg bw/day based on the findings noted at 1000 mg/kg bw/day which were not considered adverse and were without any corroborative findings like histopathological changes.
The reproduction, breeding and developmental NOAELis >= 1000 mg/kg bw/d.
This Combined Repeated Dose Toxicity Study with the Reproduction/Developmental Toxicity Screening Test in the rat is acceptable and satisfies the guideline requirements of OECD TG 422.
