- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12h/12h - Route of administration:
- oral: drinking water
- Details on route of administration:
- Not available
- Vehicle:
- corn oil
- Details on oral exposure:
- Preparation of dosing soltuions:
- The desired amount of test substance was weighed, and corn oil was added up to the correct volume. To prepare a homogenous suspension, the mixture was stirred with a magnetic stirrer also during administration. The test substance preparations were produced at least once a week and were stored at room temperature. The administration volume was 4 mL/kg bw.
Vehicle:
- Justification for use and choice of vehicle (if other than water): The test substance is poorly soluble in water, but forms a homogenous suspension in corn oil, which is also non-toxic to rats.
- Concentration in vehicle: 0, 1.25, 3.75 and 12.5 g/100mL - Analytical verification of doses or concentrations:
- yes
- Details on analytical verification of doses or concentrations:
- Homogeneity, stability and concentration control analyses of the test substance preparations were performed in all concentrations at the start of the administration period. Additionally, samples from all concentrations as reverse samples for concentration control analysis were taken at the end of the study. The concentration control analyses of all concentrations revealed that the values were in the expected range of the target concentrations, i.e. were always in a range of about 90.0-110.0% of the nominal concentrations. Considering the low relative standard deviation in the homogeneity analysis, it can be concluded that the the test substance was distributed homogeneously in corn oil.

Histopathology / Organ weights
The following tissues were weighed
- in all animals: epididymides, testes, and stages of spermatogenesis
- in 5 males and females of each group: adrenal glands, brain, heart, kidneys, liver, spleen, thymus
The uteri of all cohabited female parental animals were examined for the presence and number of implantation sites. The uteri of apparently non-pregnant animals or empty uterus horns were placed in 1% ammonium sulfide solutions for about 5 minutes in order to be able to identify early resorptions or implantations.
The following tissues were examined histotechnically in at least 5 animals per sex of the control and high dose group (reproductive organs were examined in all high dose and control animals):
adrenal glands, gross lesions (all affected animals in all dosage groups), bone marrow (femur), brain, cecum, cervix, coagulation glands, colon, duodenum, epididymides, heart, ileum, jejunum, kidneys, liver, lungs, lymph nodes (auxillary and mesenteric), ovaries, oviducts, prostate gland, peyer's patches, rectum, sciatic nerve, seminal vesicles, spinal cord, spleen, stomach, testes, thymus, thyroid glands, trachea, urinary bladder, uterus, vagina. - Other examinations:
- Reproductive performance: see chapter 7.8.1
- Statistics:
- Not available
- Clinical signs:
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- Almost all male and most female animals of the high dose group showed salivation within 2 hours after the administration on several days of the study. Salivation within 2 hours after treatment was also seen in several mid dose male and female animals. From the temporary, short appearance immediately after dosing it was concluded that salivation was induced by a bad taste of the test substance or local affection of the upper digestive tract.
- Mortality:
- mortality observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence):
- One female animal (in the 500 mg/kg bw/day group) was sacrificed in a moribund condition on study day 51 (GD 24). Vaginal discharge was observed on GDs 23-24 in this animal, which showed poor general state and was unable to deliver on GD 24. This animal was sacrificed moribund on the same day. According to the pathological results the findings were assessed as being incidental and not related to treatment.
- Body weight and weight changes:
- no effects observed
- Food consumption and compound intake (if feeding study):
- no effects observed
- Food efficiency:
- not examined
- Water consumption and compound intake (if drinking water study):
- no effects observed
- Ophthalmological findings:
- not examined
- Haematological findings:
- no effects observed
- Clinical biochemistry findings:
- no effects observed
- Urinalysis findings:
- no effects observed
- Behaviour (functional findings):
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- Neurobehaviour:
All deviations from "zero" values were equally distributed between all groups including controls; hence the finding were assessed as being incidental and not treatment related. - Immunological findings:
- not examined
- Organ weight findings including organ / body weight ratios:
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- All mean weight parameters (absolute and relative) did not show significant differences when compared to the control groups.
- Gross pathological findings:
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- All gross lesions noted were single observations and they were regarded to have developed spontaneously and unrelated to compound and treatment.
- Neuropathological findings:
- not examined
- Histopathological findings: non-neoplastic:
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- All findings were considered to be incidental or spontaneous in origin and without any relation to treatment.
One high dose female animal that was sacrificed in a moribund state revealed a decidual reaction with consequent inflammation of the uterus. Decidual reaction is a proliferation of decidual cells (tissue of endometrial origin lining of the uterus, which is in contact with the fetal membranes and the placental plate). They often are assiocated with inflammation as observed in this animal. The local inflammation in the uterus can lead to disturbance of the general condition or, if the inflammation is spreading, sepsis. This was regarded to be the reason for the moribund state of this animal but was not regarded to be treatment-related. - Histopathological findings: neoplastic:

- Executive summary:
A study was conducted to determine the repeated dose toxicity of the test substance according to OECD guideline 422 and EPA OPPTS 870.3650, in compliance with GLP. The general systemic toxic potential of the substance to Wistar rats was assessed by daily oral administration (gavage). Males were dosed for 35 days and females for 56 days. Groups comprising 10 male and 10 female rats received the test substance at doses of 0, 50, 150 or 500 mg/kg bw/ day in corn oil. A detailed clinical observation was performed in all animals before initial test substance administration and thereafter at weekly intervals. Food consumption of the F0 parents was determined once weekly during premating. In dams food consumption was determined for gestation days 0-7, 7-14, 14-20 and lactation days 1-4. Body weights of F0 parents were determined once a week, in males throughout the study and in females during premating and mating. During gestation and lactation period, F0 females were weighed on gestation days (GD) 0, 7, 14 and 20, after the day of parturition (postnatal day [PND] 0) and on PND 4. The pups were sexed and examined for macroscopically evident changes on PND 0. They were weighed on PND 1 and on PND 4. Their viability was recorded. At necropsy on PND 4, all pups were sacrificed under isoflurane anesthesia with CO2 and examined macroscopically for external and visceral findings. Clinicochemical and hematological examinations as well as urinalyses were performed in 5 animals per sex and group towards the end of the administration period. All F0 parental animals were sacrificed by decapitation, under isoflurane anesthesia, and were assessed by gross pathology. Weights of selected organs were recorded and a histopathological examination was performed. One female animal of test group 500 mg/kg bw/day was sacrificed in a moribund condition on study day 51 (GD 24). Vaginal discharge was observed on GDs 23-24 in this animal, which showed poor general state and was unable to deliver on GD 24. This animal was sacrificed moribund on the same day. According to the pathological results the findings were assessed as being incidental and not related to treatment. Almost all male and most female animals of the high dose group showed salivation within 2 hours after the administration on several days of the study. Salivation within 2 hours after treatment was also seen in several mid dose male and female animals. From the temporary, short appearance immediately after dosing it was concluded that salivation was induced by a bad taste of the test substance or local affection of the upper digestive tract. No test substance-related changes in body weight or body weight gain were observed for all test groups. For food and water consumption, no test substance-related, adverse findings were noted. No treatment-related changes among hematological, clinical chemistry and urinalysis parameters were observed. All deviations from "zero" values observed following neurobehavioural examination were equally distributed between all groups including controls; the findings were assessed as being incidental and not treatment related. All mean organ weight parameters (absolute and relative) did not show significant differences when compared to the control groups. All gross lesions noted were single observations and they were regarded to have developed spontaneously and unrelated to compound and treatment. All histopathology (non-neoplastic) findings were considered to be incidental or spontaneous in origin and without any relation to treatment. The high dose female animal that was sacrificed in a moribund state revealed a decidual reaction with consequent inflammation of the uterus. Decidual reaction is a proliferation of decidual cells (tissue of endometrial origin lining of the uterus, which is in contact with the fetal membranes and the placental plate). They are often assiocated with inflammation as observed in this animal. The local inflammation in the uterus can lead to disturbance of the general condition or, if the inflammation is spreading, sepsis. This was regarded to be the reason for the moribund state of this animal but was not regarded to be treatment-related. Under the study conditions, the rat NOAEL for systemic effects was established at >=500 mg/kg bw/day for females and males (BASF, 2013).
