- Executive summary:
Data available from different studies were reviewed to determine the reproductive toxicity of testchemical.The studies are as mentioned below:
Study 1
The two generation reproductive toxicity of test material was performed on male and female SpragueDawley rats. The test material mixed with feed in dose concentration 300, 1000 and 2000 ppm (approximately 22.5, 72.6 and 145.5 mg/kg/day base on Mean consumption for the males and females throughout the study). A total of 28 male and 28 female rats were evaluated at each dose level. After a 10-week pre-breed period rats were mated (one male to one female) for three weeks to produce the F1 generation. Exposures continued through mating, gestation, parturition and lactation. At weaning, 28 F1 weanlings/sex/group were selected to produce the F2 generation, and were then exposed to the same dietary concentrations of test material as their parents for 10 weeks. After their pre-breed exposure, F1 animals were paired as described above. All procedures during mating, gestation, and lactation of the F1 parents and selected F2 weanlings were performed as described above. All F0 and F1 parental animals were necropsied and examined for gross lesions; selected reproductive tissues from the high dose and control groups were examined histologically as were other tissues with gross lesions. Ten F1 and F2 weanlings/sex/group were randomly selected and examined for gross lesions. Remaining nonselected F1 and F2 pups at weaning were euthanized and discarded after the necropsy of the selected pups.
After 10 weeks Premating Exposure for paraents males exhibited no reduction in body weight. Females at 2000 ppm had reductions in body weight for weeks 5, 6, 9 and 10 of treatment. Body weight gain was reduced at 2000 ppm for one week during the prebreed treatment. Food consumption in F0 females at 2000 ppm was reduced for the first four exposure weeks. While Reproductive parameters were unaffected by treatment. Females in the 2000 ppm group showedsignificant reductions in body weights on day 0 of gestation, but no body weight gain reductions.Body weight gains throughout lactation and body weights on lactation day 21 were increased in thefemales in the 2000 ppm group. Food consumption during gestation and lactation was unaffected bytest substance treatment during gestation and lactation period in F0 Female. After postmortem .No treatment-related lesions were observed in the necropsy of F0 males and females. No treatment-related lesions were observed in the histopathologic examination of selected organs from F0 males and females at 2000 ppm.
F1 males at 2000 ppm exhibited no reduction in body weights but did have reduced weight gain in the second treatment week. Food consumption was reduced for F1 males at 2000 ppm for two of the 10 treatment weeks. There were no significant effects on F1 females. Reproductive parameters were unaffected by treatment. Maternal body weights at 2000 ppm were unaffected during the gestational and lactational periods. Gestational food consumption was reduced for days 7 - 11 and 14- 17 at2000 ppm. After postmortem in F1 male and female .No treatment-related lesions were observed in the necropsy of F1 males and females. There were no treatment-related lesions observed in the histopathologic examination of selected organs from the 2000 ppm group. There were no apparenttreatment-related deaths of adult animals on study.
In F1 litter,Pups exhibited reduced body weights per litter on days 21 (weaning) and 28 (postweaning) at 2000 ppm. F1 pup body weight gains were reduced for lactation days 14 - 21 and 21 – 28 (postweaning). No effects of treatment on postnatal deaths (postnatal days 0 - 28) were observed. No treatment-related lesions were observed in the necropsy of F1 pups that died during lactation or of randomly selected F1 pups (10/sex/dose).While in F2 Litters,Pup body weights per litter were reduced at 2000 ppm at postnatal day 28 (postweaning). Pup weight gains per litter also were reduced at 2000 ppm for lactational days 14 - 21 (preweaning) and for days 21 - 28 (postweaning). Perinatal deaths and lactational survival were unaffected by treatment. There were no treatment-related lesions observed in the necropsy of F2 pups that died during lactation or of randomly selected F2 pups (10/sex/group).
Exposure of rats to the test substance in the diet for two generations resulted in parental toxicityat the target dose level of 145mg/kg bw/day (2000 ppm): perinatal toxicity was concomitant with parental toxicity, being well-defined at 145mg/kg bw/day (2000 ppm.There were notreatment-related reproductive effects observed in this study. The A/D ratio (the dose level at which there were no observable effects in adults/the dose level at which there were no observable effects on offspring) is 1 (1000 ppm/1000 ppm) indicating no increased risk to the offspring in the absence of indications of adult toxicity. HenceNo Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) for reproductive toxicity was considered to beapproximately 145 mg/kg/day (2000ppm)and for developmental toxicity considered to be approximately 73mg/kg /day(1000ppm). When male and femaleSpragueDawley rats were treated withtest materialorally.
Study 2.
The reproductive and developmental toxicity of test material was performed ontimed-pregnant female Sprague-Dawley rats. The test material was dissolved in Milli-Q water in dose concentration 10, 30 and 100 mg/kg/day and adminstered in dose volume 5 ml/kg orally by gavage from Days 6 through 15 of gestation. The dose concentration selected on the bases of dose range finding atconcentrations of 25, 50, 100, 200 or 400 mg/kg/day by oral gavage on gestation days (GD) 6 through 15.study.In main study,three groups of 25 timed-pregnant female rats each were dosed group while a control group of 25 timed-pregnant rats received water. Administered dose volumes of water or aqueous solutions of test material were based on the individual dam’s body weight on GD 6 and a constant volume of 5 ml/kg/day. Concentrations were adjusted for percentactive ingredient. Throughout the study, (GD 0 - 21), female rats were observed for mortality twice daily, clinical signs of toxicity daily (twice daily during dosing) and maternal body weights and food consumption were measured at varying intervals. At scheduled sacrifice on GD 21, a gross necropsy was performed on all dams. In addition, the dams were evaluated for body weight, liver and gravid uterine weight, number of corpora lutea, and number and status of implantation sites. All live fetuseswere dissected from the uterus weighed and examined for external malformation and variations and gender determinations. Approximately one-half of the live fetuses in each litter were examined for thoracic and abdominal visceral abnormalities. These fetuses were decapitated and their heads were fixed in Bouin’s solution for examination of craniofacial structures by serial sectioning. Intactfetuses (approximately one-half) were processed for skeletal staining with alizarin red S and examined for skeletal malformations and variations.
Treatment-related clinical signs included perioral wetness in 67% of dams in the 100 mg/kg group. Audible respiration during and subsequent to the treatment period also was observed in three dams in the 100 mg/kg group. One dam in this group exhibited dehydration, unkempt appearance, loose feces, urine stains and perioral wetness. Audible respiration was observed in two dams in the 30 mg/kg group. One of these dams also exhibited urine stains, gasping, perinasal encrustation, loose feces and perioral wetness. No treatment-related clinical signs were observed in animals in the 10 mg/kg group during or subsequent to treatment. Food consumption was reduced for days 6 - 9 of gestation in the 30 and 100 mg/kg groups. There were no effects of treatment on gestational bodyweight and weight gain, corrected body weight or gravid uterine weight. Pregnancy rate was equivalent among groups and ranged from 84 to 100%. Twenty-one to 25 live litters were available for evaluation from each group. There were no statistically significant differences between treated and control animals in gestational parameters (including total number of implantations, number of viable and nonviable implants per litter). There were no statistically significant differences betweentreated and control fetal body weights per litter or in the incidences of external, visceral or skeletal malformations or variations.HenceNo Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) for reproductive and developmental toxicity was considered to be 100mg/kg bw/day. When femaleSpragueDawley rats were treated with test material orally.
Study 3.
The reproductive and developmental toxicity study of test material was performed on femaleWistar derived albino rats.The study was carried out in a manner similar to OECD Guideline 414. The test material in dose concentration 0, 5, 15 and 50 mg/kg/day were administered orally using gavage once daily on days 6 through 15 of gestation. In positive control group aspirin, 250 mg/kg/day were administered. 22-37 pregnant rats/group were treated. The dams were sacrificed at day 20 and the foetuses were examined for visceral and skeletal variations and malformations.
There were no clinical signs reported. There were 3 deaths of dames in the 50 mg/kg/day test group. however, this finding was not statistically significant.There were no effects of treatment on gestational body weight. Effects on gestation were not noted in any treatment group. Twelve females in the positive control group resorbed their uterine contents. There were no treatment-related effects related to bodyweight. Decreased weights were observed in the positive control group. There were no malformations or gross finding at necropsy. There were no treatment-related variations or malformations with respect to skeletal or visceral findings.HenceNo Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) for reproductive and developmental toxicity was considered to be above 50mg/kg bw/day. When female SpragueDawley rats were treated with test material orally.
Based on the data available from different studies ,test material did not showedreproductive toxicityat dose concentration 50 mg/kg bw/day.When rats were treated with test material orally.,Thus, comparing this value with the criteria ofCLP regulation test material is likely to classify as reproductive toxicant.

Reproductive toxicity study
Data available from different studies were reviewed to determine the reproductive toxicity of test chemical.The studies are as mentioned below:
Study 1
The two generation reproductive toxicity of test material was performed on male and female SpragueDawley rats. The test material mixed with feed in dose concentration 300, 1000 and 2000 ppm (approximately 22.5, 72.6 and 145.5 mg/kg/day base on Mean consumption for the males and females throughout the study). A total of 28 male and 28 female rats were evaluated at each dose level. After a 10-week pre-breed period rats were mated (one male to one female) for three weeks to produce the F1 generation. Exposures continued through mating, gestation, parturition and lactation. At weaning, 28 F1 weanlings/sex/group were selected to produce the F2 generation, and were then exposed to the same dietary concentrations of test material as their parents for 10 weeks. After their pre-breed exposure, F1 animals were paired as described above. All procedures during mating, gestation, and lactation of the F1 parents and selected F2 weanlings were performed as described above. All F0 and F1 parental animals were necropsied and examined for gross lesions; selected reproductive tissues from the high dose and control groups were examined histologically as were other tissues with gross lesions. Ten F1 and F2 weanlings/sex/group were randomly selected and examined for gross lesions. Remaining nonselected F1 and F2 pups at weaning were euthanized and discarded after the necropsy of the selected pups.
After 10 weeks Premating Exposure for paraents males exhibited no reduction in body weight. Females at 2000 ppm had reductions in body weight for weeks 5, 6, 9 and 10 of treatment. Body weight gain was reduced at 2000 ppm for one week during the prebreed treatment. Food consumption in F0 females at 2000 ppm was reduced for the first four exposure weeks. While Reproductive parameters were unaffected by treatment. Females in the 2000 ppm group showedsignificant reductions in body weights on day 0 of gestation, but no body weight gain reductions.Body weight gains throughout lactation and body weights on lactation day 21 were increased in thefemales in the 2000 ppm group. Food consumption during gestation and lactation was unaffected bytest substance treatment during gestation and lactation period in F0 Female. After postmortem .No treatment-related lesions were observed in the necropsy of F0 males and females. No treatment-related lesions were observed in the histopathologic examination of selected organs from F0 males and females at 2000 ppm.
F1 males at 2000 ppm exhibited no reduction in body weights but did have reduced weight gain in the second treatment week. Food consumption was reduced for F1 males at 2000 ppm for two of the 10 treatment weeks. There were no significant effects on F1 females. Reproductive parameters were unaffected by treatment. Maternal body weights at 2000 ppm were unaffected during the gestational and lactational periods. Gestational food consumption was reduced for days 7 - 11 and 14- 17 at2000 ppm. After postmortem in F1 male and female .No treatment-related lesions were observed in the necropsy of F1 males and females. There were no treatment-related lesions observed in the histopathologic examination of selected organs from the 2000 ppm group. There were no apparenttreatment-related deaths of adult animals on study.
In F1 litter,Pups exhibited reduced body weights per litter on days 21 (weaning) and 28 (postweaning) at 2000 ppm. F1 pup body weight gains were reduced for lactation days 14 - 21 and 21 – 28 (postweaning). No effects of treatment on postnatal deaths (postnatal days 0 - 28) were observed. No treatment-related lesions were observed in the necropsy of F1 pups that died during lactation or of randomly selected F1 pups (10/sex/dose).While in F2 Litters,Pup body weights per litter were reduced at 2000 ppm at postnatal day 28 (postweaning). Pup weight gains per litter also were reduced at 2000 ppm for lactational days 14 - 21 (preweaning) and for days 21 - 28 (postweaning). Perinatal deaths and lactational survival were unaffected by treatment. There were no treatment-related lesions observed in the necropsy of F2 pups that died during lactation or of randomly selected F2 pups (10/sex/group).
Exposure of rats to the test substance in the diet for two generations resulted in parental toxicityat the target dose level of 145mg/kg bw/day (2000 ppm): perinatal toxicity was concomitant with parental toxicity, being well-defined at 145mg/kg bw/day (2000 ppm.There were notreatment-related reproductive effects observed in this study. The A/D ratio (the dose level at which there were no observable effects in adults/the dose level at which there were no observable effects on offspring) is 1 (1000 ppm/1000 ppm) indicating no increased risk to the offspring in the absence of indications of adult toxicity. HenceNo Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) for reproductive toxicity was considered to beapproximately 145 mg/kg/day (2000ppm)and for developmental toxicity considered to be approximately 73mg/kg /day(1000ppm). When male and femaleSpragueDawley rats were treated withtest materialorally.

- Executive summary:
Data available from different studies for test chemicals were reviewed to determine the developmental toxicity of test chemical. The studies are as mentioned below:
Study 1
The reproductive and developmental toxicity of test material was performed ontimed-pregnant female Sprague-Dawley rats. The test material was dissolved in Milli-Q water in dose concentration 10, 30 and 100 mg/kg/day and adminstered in dose volume 5 ml/kg orally by gavage from Days 6 through 15 of gestation. The dose concentration selected on the bases of dose range finding atconcentrations of 25, 50, 100, 200 or 400 mg/kg/day by oral gavage on gestation days (GD) 6 through 15.study.In main study,three groups of 25 timed-pregnant female rats each were dosed group while a control group of 25 timed-pregnant rats received water. Administered dose volumes of water or aqueous solutions of test material were based on the individual dam’s body weight on GD 6 and a constant volume of 5 ml/kg/day. Concentrations were adjusted for percentactive ingredient. Throughout the study, (GD 0 - 21), female rats were observed for mortality twice daily, clinical signs of toxicity daily (twice daily during dosing) and maternal body weights and food consumption were measured at varying intervals. At scheduled sacrifice on GD 21, a gross necropsy was performed on all dams. In addition, the dams were evaluated for body weight, liver and gravid uterine weight, number of corpora lutea, and number and status of implantation sites. All live fetuseswere dissected from the uterus weighed and examined for external malformation and variations and gender determinations. Approximately one-half of the live fetuses in each litter were examined for thoracic and abdominal visceral abnormalities. These fetuses were decapitated and their heads were fixed in Bouin’s solution for examination of craniofacial structures by serial sectioning. Intactfetuses (approximately one-half) were processed for skeletal staining with alizarin red S and examined for skeletal malformations and variations.
Treatment-related clinical signs included perioral wetness in 67% of dams in the 100 mg/kg group. Audible respiration during and subsequent to the treatment period also was observed in three dams in the 100 mg/kg group. One dam in this group exhibited dehydration, unkempt appearance, loose feces, urine stains and perioral wetness. Audible respiration was observed in two dams in the 30 mg/kg group. One of these dams also exhibited urine stains, gasping, perinasal encrustation, loose feces and perioral wetness. No treatment-related clinical signs were observed in animals in the 10 mg/kg group during or subsequent to treatment. Food consumption was reduced for days 6 - 9 of gestation in the 30 and 100 mg/kg groups. There were no effects of treatment on gestational bodyweight and weight gain, corrected body weight or gravid uterine weight. Pregnancy rate was equivalent among groups and ranged from 84 to 100%. Twenty-one to 25 live litters were available for evaluation from each group. There were no statistically significant differences between treated and control animals in gestational parameters (including total number of implantations, number of viable and nonviable implants per litter). There were no statistically significant differences betweentreated and control fetal body weights per litter or in the incidences of external, visceral or skeletal malformations or variations.HenceNo Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) for reproductive and developmental toxicity was considered to be 100mg/kg bw/day. When female Sprague Dawley rats were treated with test material orally.
Study 2.
The reproductive and developmental toxicity study of test material was performed on femaleWistar derived albino rats.The study was carried out in a manner similar to OECD Guideline 414. The test material in dose concentration 0, 5, 15 and 50 mg/kg/day were administered orally using gavage once daily on days 6 through 15 of gestation. In positive control group aspirin, 250 mg/kg/day were administered. 22-37 pregnant rats/group were treated. The dams were sacrificed at day 20 and the foetuses were examined for visceral and skeletal variations and malformations.
There were no clinical signs reported. There were 3 deaths of dames in the 50 mg/kg/day test group. however, this finding was not statistically significant.There were no effects of treatment on gestational body weight. Effects on gestation were not noted in any treatment group. Twelve females in the positive control group resorbed their uterine contents. There were no treatment-related effects related to bodyweight. Decreased weights were observed in the positive control group. There were no malformations or gross finding at necropsy. There were no treatment-related variations or malformations with respect to skeletal or visceral findings.HenceNo Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) for reproductive and developmental toxicity was considered to be above 50mg/kg bw/day. When femaleSpragueDawley rats were treated withtest materialorally.
Thus, based on the data available fortest chemical,No Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) was considered to be 50mg /kg bw .When rats were treated with test chemical orally. Thus, comparing this value with the criteria of CLP regulationtest chemicalis not likely to classify as reproductive and developmental toxicant.

Developmental toxicity study
Data available from different studies for test chemicals were reviewed to determine the developmental toxicity of test chemical. The studies are as mentioned below:
Study 1
The reproductive and developmental toxicity of test material was performed ontimed-pregnant female Sprague-Dawley rats. The test material was dissolved in Milli-Q water in dose concentration 10, 30 and 100 mg/kg/day and adminstered in dose volume 5 ml/kg orally by gavage from Days 6 through 15 of gestation. The dose concentration selected on the bases of dose range finding atconcentrations of 25, 50, 100, 200 or 400 mg/kg/day by oral gavage on gestation days (GD) 6 through 15.study.In main study,three groups of 25 timed-pregnant female rats each were dosed group while a control group of 25 timed-pregnant rats received water. Administered dose volumes of water or aqueous solutions of test material were based on the individual dam’s body weight on GD 6 and a constant volume of 5 ml/kg/day. Concentrations were adjusted for percentactive ingredient. Throughout the study, (GD 0 - 21), female rats were observed for mortality twice daily, clinical signs of toxicity daily (twice daily during dosing) and maternal body weights and food consumption were measured at varying intervals. At scheduled sacrifice on GD 21, a gross necropsy was performed on all dams. In addition, the dams were evaluated for body weight, liver and gravid uterine weight, number of corpora lutea, and number and status of implantation sites. All live fetuseswere dissected from the uterus weighed and examined for external malformation and variations and gender determinations. Approximately one-half of the live fetuses in each litter were examined for thoracic and abdominal visceral abnormalities. These fetuses were decapitated and their heads were fixed in Bouin’s solution for examination of craniofacial structures by serial sectioning. Intactfetuses (approximately one-half) were processed for skeletal staining with alizarin red S and examined for skeletal malformations and variations.
Treatment-related clinical signs included perioral wetness in 67% of dams in the 100 mg/kg group. Audible respiration during and subsequent to the treatment period also was observed in three dams in the 100 mg/kg group. One dam in this group exhibited dehydration, unkempt appearance, loose feces, urine stains and perioral wetness. Audible respiration was observed in two dams in the 30 mg/kg group. One of these dams also exhibited urine stains, gasping, perinasal encrustation, loose feces and perioral wetness. No treatment-related clinical signs were observed in animals in the 10 mg/kg group during or subsequent to treatment. Food consumption was reduced for days 6 - 9 of gestation in the 30 and 100 mg/kg groups. There were no effects of treatment on gestational bodyweight and weight gain, corrected body weight or gravid uterine weight. Pregnancy rate was equivalent among groups and ranged from 84 to 100%. Twenty-one to 25 live litters were available for evaluation from each group. There were no statistically significant differences between treated and control animals in gestational parameters (including total number of implantations, number of viable and nonviable implants per litter). There were no statistically significant differences betweentreated and control fetal body weights per litter or in the incidences of external, visceral or skeletal malformations or variations.HenceNo Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) for reproductive and developmental toxicity was considered to be 100mg/kg bw/day. When femaleSprague Dawley rats were treated with test material orally.
Study 2.
The reproductive and developmental toxicity study of test material was performed on femaleWistar derived albino rats.The study was carried out in a manner similar to OECD Guideline 414. The test material in dose concentration 0, 5, 15 and 50 mg/kg/day were administered orally using gavage once daily on days 6 through 15 of gestation. In positive control group aspirin, 250 mg/kg/day were administered. 22-37 pregnant rats/group were treated. The dams were sacrificed at day 20 and the foetuses were examined for visceral and skeletal variations and malformations.
There were no clinical signs reported. There were 3 deaths of dames in the 50 mg/kg/day test group. however, this finding was not statistically significant.There were no effects of treatment on gestational body weight. Effects on gestation were not noted in any treatment group. Twelve females in the positive control group resorbed their uterine contents. There were no treatment-related effects related to bodyweight. Decreased weights were observed in the positive control group. There were no malformations or gross finding at necropsy. There were no treatment-related variations or malformations with respect to skeletal or visceral findings.HenceNo Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) for reproductive and developmental toxicity was considered to be above 50mg/kg bw/day. When femaleSpragueDawley rats were treated withtest materialorally.
Thus, based on the data available fortest chemical,No Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) was considered to be 50mg /kg bw .When rats were treated with test chemical orally. Thus, comparing this value with the criteria of CLP regulationtest chemicalis not likely to classify as reproductive and developmental toxicant.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Thus, comparing this value with the criteria of CLP regulation test chemical is not likely to classify as reproductive and developmental toxicant.
