- No. of animals per sex per dose:
- 24 females (for groups 2 to 4).
For group 1, 23 females (because one female was prematurely sacrificed before administration on Day 1. The data of this female are not presented in the study but kept in the raw data). - Control animals:
- yes, concurrent vehicle
- Details on study design:
- - Dose selection rationale:
The dose-levels were selected by the Sponsor based on a preliminary study for effects on embryo-fetal development by the oral route in rats.
In this study, three groups of eight pregnant female Sprague-Dawley rats received the test item daily by oral administration (gavage) throughout gestation (Day 6 to Day 20 p.c.) at dose levels of 100, 500 or 1000 mg/kg/day. An additional group of eight pregnant females received the vehicle control, corn oil, under the same experimental conditions. The dosing volume was 5 mL/kg/day.
At 1000 mg/kg/day, there were:
- mortality: one female was found dead on Day 19 p.c. Prior to death, ptyalism, piloerection, emaciated appearance and dacryhorrhea were observed, as well as a body weight loss and reduced food consumption. There were no macroscopic post-mortem findings at necropsy,
- ptyalism in all females,
- increases in the absolute and relative mean liver weights,
- thickening of forestomach mucosa in 5/8 females together with depressed area in the stomach or forestomach mucosa in two of them,
- no effects on pre- and post-implantation losses, number of viable fetuses and fetal body weight,
- no findings at external (including oral cavity) examination of the fetuses.
At 500 mg/kg/day, there were ptyalism in all females and increases in the absolute and relative mean liver weights.
At 100 mg/kg/day, there were no findings.
Therefore, 750 mg/kg/day was selected as the high dose-level. The low-dose and mid-dose were selected using a ratio representing approximately a 3- to 5-fold interval (i.e. 50 and 250 mg/kg/day).
- Rationale for animal assignment: computerized stratification procedure - Maternal examinations:
- MORTALITY/MORBIDITY:
- Time schedule: each animal was checked for mortality and morbidity once a day before the treatment period and at least twice a day during the treatment period.
CLINICAL SIGNS:
- Time schedule: from arrival, each animal was observed once a day as part of the routine examinations.
From the start of the treatment period, each animal was observed once a day, at approximately the same time, for the recording of clinical signs.
BODY WEIGHT (GAIN):
- Time schedule: the body weight of each female was recorded on Days 2, 4, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18 and 21 p.c.
FOOD CONSUMPTION:
- Time schedule: the quantity of food consumed by each female was recorded for the following intervals: Days 2-4, 4-6, 6-9, 9-12, 12-15, 15-18 and 18-21 p.c.
ORGAN WEIGHTS:
The weight of the gravid uterus was recorded for each pregnant female (with at least one live fetus) at hysterectomy.
The body weight of each animal was recorded before sacrifice at the end of the treatment period. Liver from all study animals was weighed as soon as possible after dissection and preserved.
The ratio of organ weight to "net body weight" was therefore calculated.
POST-MORTEM MACROSCOPIC EXAMINATION:
- Sacrifice on Day 21 post-coitum.
- Examined: principal thoracic and abdominal organs.
MICROSCOPIC EXAMINATION:
A microscopic examination was performed on the liver from the first ten control and high-dose females (groups 1 and 4) sacrificed at the end of the treatment period. - Ovaries and uterine content:
- The ovaries and uterus of the females were examined to determine:
- number of corpora lutea,
- number and distribution of dead and live fetuses,
- number and distribution of early and late resorptions,
- number and distribution of uterine scars,
- number and distribution of implantation sites.
For the apparently non-pregnant female, the presence of implantation scars on the uterus was checked using the ammonium sulphide staining technique (Salewski, 1964). - Fetal examinations:
- - External examinations: Yes: all fetuses per litter
- Soft tissue examinations: Yes: half fetuses per litter
- Skeletal examinations: Yes: half fetuses per litter
- Head examinations: Yes: half fetuses per litter
- Other : body weight, sex - Statistics:
- Data were compared by one-way analysis of variances and Dunnett test (mean values being considered as normally distributed, variances being considered as homogenous) or by Fisher’s exact probability test (proportions).
PathData software was used to perform the statistical analysis of organ weight data (level of significance of 0.05 or 0.01). - Indices:
- % Pre-implantation loss = 100 * (Number of corpora lutea - Number of implantation sites) / Number of corpora lutea
% Post-implantation loss = 100 * (Number of implantation sites - Number of live fetuses) / Number of implantation sites - Historical control data:
- Cf attached document
- Clinical signs:
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- See Table 2.
Test item treatment-related clinical signs of minor toxicological importance consisted of ptyalism observed in most of females given 250 mg/kg/day and in all females given 750 mg/kg/day for a 1 to 15-day duration.
Reflux at administration noted on one occasion in 1/24 females given 250 mg/kg/day resulted from the gavage procedure.
Cutaneous lesions on the tail, associated with scabs or mass in the urogenital region, were noted in 2/24 females given 50 mg/kg/day. Reddish/brownish vaginal discharge was transiently observed in 1/24 females given 250 or 750 mg/kg/day, together with chromodacryorrhea at 750 mg/kg/day. These findings were considered to be unrelated to the test item treatment, as they were reported on a limited number of occasions and/or are findings commonly observed in rats of this strain and age. - Mortality:
- mortality observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence):
- There were no test item treatment-related deaths.
At 0 mg/kg/day, one female was sacrificed prematurely on Day 6 p.c. (before administration) due to poor clinical condition (marked ataxia for both hind limbs, together with markedly reduced proprioception). At macroscopic post-mortem examination, no relevant findings were observed. This female was pregnant. Data for this female are kept in the raw data but are not presented in the study report. - Body weight and weight changes:
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- See Table 3.
There were no effects on mean body weight or mean body weight change. - Food consumption and compound intake (if feeding study):
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- See Table 4.
There were no effects of treatment with the test item. - Organ weight findings including organ / body weight ratios:
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- See Table 5.
Statistically significant increases in absolute and relative-to-body liver weights were observed in animals treated with the test item at 750 mg/kg/day. A relationship with the test item was considered to be likely. - Gross pathological findings:
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- There were no test item-related macroscopic findings.
Macroscopic observations were not attributed to the test item treatment as they were reported at isolated incidences and/or are findings commonly observed in rats of this strain and age. - Histopathological findings: non-neoplastic:
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- See Table 6.
The livers from the first ten females of the high-dose and control groups were submitted to microscopic examination.
Increased mitosis (minimal to moderate) was observed in 3/10 high-dose females, but not in control animals. Of notice, the absolute and relative to body liver weights in these three females were above the average liver weight values observed in the control group. Since this finding was not observed in controls, a relationship with the test item could not be excluded. Increased hepatocyte mitoses has occasionally been described in rodent livers. Causes vary from physiological responses such as during early growth, during pregnancy, and following partial hepatectomy to post-necrotic repair. In the present case, the pathogenesis of this finding remained unclear. However, given its low incidence and in absence of associated findings (such as necrosis/degeneration), this finding was considered to be non-adverse.
Other microscopic findings noted in treated animals were considered incidental changes, as they also occurred in controls, were of low incidence, had no dose-relationship in incidence or severity, and/or are common background findings for the rat. - Other effects:
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- See Table 7.
At 250 and 750 mg/kg/day, when compared with controls, females had a low mean gravid uterus weight (-12% and -10%, p < 0.05, respectively). This correlated with the lower mean number of fetuses at these dose-levels. These findings were considered to be non-adverse as they were not dose-related and of low magnitude.
There were no dose-related effects on mean carcass weight or net body weight change at any dose-level. - Number of abortions:
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- See Table 8.

- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- See Table 10.
Variations
There was no test item treatment-related increase of the frequency of external variations.
In the 750 mg/kg/day group, one fetus had limb hyperflexion. This is a common finding in this species and strain, therefore any relationship to the test item treatment was considered unlikely.
Malformations
See Table 11.
There was no test item treatment-related increase in the frequency of external malformations.
Cleft palate was noted in one malformed fetus from one litter at 50 mg/kg/day (incomplete ossification of the palate at skeletal observation) and in three fetuses from one litter at 750 mg/kg/day (split palate at skeletal examination).
As palate malformation was observed without a dose-relationship with a similar litter incidence in the low and the high-dose groups, a test item treatment-related effect was considered to be unlikely.
In the control group, one fetus had an ombilical hernia; this finding is commonly observed in this species and strain. - Skeletal malformations:
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- See Table 12.
Cartilage
When compared with controls, there was a dose-related increase in ossification delay (cartilage of the thoracic vertebra were present, but there was incomplete ossification of the centrum).
Variations
See Table 13.
When compared with controls, there was an apparent dose-related increase (statistically significant at 750 mg/kg/day) in ossification delay (incomplete ossification of the thoracic vertebra centrum). As the fetal and litter incidences were of low magnitude and within the range of the Historical Control Data, these effects were considered to be of no toxicologically relevance in absence of test item treatment-related effects on mean fetal body weight.
Malformations
See Table 14.
There was no test item treatment-related increase in the frequency of skeletal malformations.
At 750 mg/kg/day, one litter had one malformed fetus with split palate (cleft palate at external examination). As the malformation was of isolated occurrence and as fetal and litter incidences were within the Historical Control Data, this was considered to be unrelated to the test item treatment.
At 50 mg/kg/day, one litter had one malformed fetus with an absent lumbar vertebra. As lumbar malformation was observed without a dose-relationship and was within the range of the Historical Control Data, this was considered to be unrelated to the test item treatment. - Visceral malformations:
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- Variations
See Table 15.
There was no test item treatment-related increase of the frequency of soft tissue variations.
Tissue variations (i.e. short or absent innominate artery, dilated renal pelvis, dilated ureter and reddish foci on the thymus) were observed in control and test item-treated groups, without a dose relationship and with an incidence similar to the Historical Control Data, were considered to be unrelated to the test item treatment.
Malformations
See Table 16.
There was no test item treatment-related increase in the frequency of soft tissue malformations.
At 250 mg/kg/day, the right kidney and right ureter were absent in one fetus. As these malformations were observed without a dose relationship and/or with an incidence similar to Historical Control Data (absent kidney), they were considered to be unrelated to the test item treatment. - Dose descriptor:

- Conclusions:
- The test item was administered to pregnant Sprague-Dawley rats by gavage, once daily, from Day 6 to Day 20 p.c., inclusive, at the dose-levels of 50, 250 and 750 mg/kg/day. The control group received the vehicle, corn oil, under the same experimental conditions.
On the basis of the results obtained in this study:
- the No Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) for maternal parameters was considered to be 750 mg/kg/day,
- the NOAEL for embryo-fetal development was considered to be 750 mg/kg/day. - Executive summary:
The potential toxic effects of Luperox DH on the pregnant female and on embryonic and fetal development, was evaluated following daily oral administration (gavage) to pregnant female rats from implantation until the day before scheduled hysterectomy [Day 6 to Day 20 post-coitum (p.c.) inclusive]. This GLP study was carried out according to OECD test guideline No. 414 (22 January 2001).
Three groups of 24 time-mated female Sprague-Dawley rats received the test item by the oral route (gavage), at a dose-level of 50, 250 or 750 mg/kg/day, once daily from Day 6 to Day 20 p.c. inclusive. Another group of 24 time-mated female rats received the vehicle only, corn oil, under the same experimental conditions and acted as a control group. A constant dosage volume of 5 mL/kg/day was used. The test item concentrations in the dose formulations were determined. The animals were checked daily for mortality and clinical signs. Body weight and food consumption were recorded at designated intervals. On Day 21 p.c., the females were sacrificed and a macroscopic post-mortem examination was performed. Hysterectomy was performed and the numbers of corpora lutea, implantation sites, uterine scars, early and late resorptions, and live and dead fetuses were recorded. The fetuses were weighed, sexed and examined for external, soft tissue and skeletal abnormalities (including cartilage). The liver of each dam was weighed and samples of liver and stomach were collected and preserved in 10% buffered formalin.
The concentrations of the test item in the dose formulations (+1.4% to +8.5%) remained within an acceptable range of variations (± 15%) when compared to the nominal concentrations.
No test item was observed in the control dose formulation. All females were pregnant with the exception of one female given 250 mg/kg/day. There were no test item treatment-related unscheduled deaths in any group. Ptyalism was noted in 20/24 females given 250 mg/kg/day and in 24/24 dams given 750 mg/kg/day. There were no effects on body weight or body weight change at any dose-level. There were no effects on food consumption at any dose-level. Test-item related effects consisted of increased liver weights at 750 mg/kg/day. Increased mitosis was observed in 3/10 high-dose females; a relationship with the test item could not be excluded. Although the pathogenesis of both findings remained unclear, in the absence of other histopathological findings (such as necrosis/degeneration), they were considered to be non-adverse. No treatment-related and/or adverse changes were observed in the net body weight change and in the hysterectomy data. There were no effects on fetal body weight or sex-ratio at any dose-level. There were no test item treatment-related variations or malformations at externa, soft tissue and skeletal examination.
On the basis of the results obtained in this study:
. the No Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) for maternal parameters was considered to be 750 mg/kg/day,
. the NOAEL for embryo-fetal development was considered to be 750 mg/kg/day.
