Route of administration:
oral: drinking water
Duration of treatment / exposure:
12 weeks
Frequency of treatment:
daily
Post exposure period:
40 weeks
Dose / conc.:
6 681.6 mg/L drinking water
Remarks:
80 mM
No. of animals per sex per dose:
3-11
Control animals:
yes
Body weight and weight changes:
effects observed, treatment-related
Description (incidence and severity):
The body weight was depressed
Haematological findings:
effects observed, treatment-related
Description (incidence and severity):
Increased white blood cell count
Gross pathological findings:
effects observed, treatment-related
Description (incidence and severity):
Increased spleen size
Histopathological findings: neoplastic:
no effects observed

The test item depressed the body weight and increased the size of the spleen and the white blood cell count. Interestingly, the mice on methoxyammonium chloride appeared to be in better condition than the controls. Mice which drank methoxyammonium chloride solution had no tumors.


Thus, its long-term administration did not cause tumor formation.

Executive summary:

Mice were treated for 12 weeks with 6681.6 mg of the substance/l drinking water. After an observation period of further 40 weeks they did not show a higher tumor incidence than the controls.

Any other information on results incl. tables

Mice received 6681.6 mg/L drinking water of the substance for 12 weeks and were observed for further 40 weeks. Methoxyamine hydrochloride depressed their body weight and increased the size of the spleen and the white blood cell count. Interestingly, the mice on methoxyamine hydrochloride appeared to be in better condition than the controls and developed no tumors.
