Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- The No Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) for reproductive toxicity in rats was considered to be 100 mg/kg bw/day. When male and female rats were treated with test material orally.
- Executive summary:
In the combined repeated dose toxicity study with the reproduction/developmental toxicity screening test (OECD TG 422), the male and femaleCrj:CD(SD)IGSrats were given test material by gavage at 0, 20, 100, or 500 mg/kg bw/day for 42 days beginning 14 days before mating in males, and from 14 days before mating to day 4 of lactation throughout the mating and pregnancy period in females.The test substance was dissolved with corn oil and adminstered in dose volume 5ml/kg bw once daily . 13 animals/sex/dose were used. Body weights were determined on days 1 (before dosing), 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42 and 43 (at autopsy) in males and on days 1 (before dosing), 7 and 14 in all females, on days 21 and 28 in some females, on days 0, 7, 14 and 20 of gestation in pregnant females, and on days 0, 4 and 5 (at autopsy) of lactation in females that delivered, and day 25(at autopsy) of gestation in females that had not delivered. Food consumption was determined for days 1-2, 7-8, 13-14, 29-30, 35-36 and 41-42 of the administration period in males, for days 1-2 and 7-8 in all females, for days 0-1, 7-8, 14-15 and 20-21 of gestation in pregnant females, and for days 0-1 and 3-4 of lactation in females that delivered. For F1 offspring, number and sex of pups, stillbirths, live births, postnatal mortality, presence of gross anomalies, weight gain were observed.Males and females were sacrificed at the end of the observation period; on day 43 of the administration period and on day 5 of the lactation period, respectively.
Histopathological examination of brain, pituitary, spinal cords, alimentary canal, liver, kidneys, adrenals, spleen, pancreas, heart, thymus, thyroid, trachea, lung, urinary bladder, mesentery lymph node, submandibular lymph node, sciatic nerve, femur bone marrow, seminal vesicle, prostate, vagina, ovaries, uterus, testes and epididymides were performed in 5 males and pregnant females in the 0 and 500 mg/kg bw/day groups. In addition, testes and epididymides in males and ovaries in females in the 20 and 100 mg/kg bw groups and liver and stomach in males and females and heart in males in the 20 and 100 mg/kg bw groups were histopathologically examined. All dead pups (F1) were necropsied. All live pups(F1) were sacrificed under anesthesia to examine for viseceral anomalies on day 4 of the lactation period.Estrous cycle was observed from 14 days before mating to day of copulation
No animal died in any group. Temporary salivation after administration was observed in males and females in the 500 mg/kg bw group. Body weight tended to be increased in males and females in the 100 and 500 mg/kg bw groups. Increase in food consumption was observed in males of the 500 mg/kg bw group and females in the 100 and 500 mg/kg bw groups. Hyperplasia of squamous epithelium was detected in males and females in the 100 and 500 mg/kg bw groups. In liver, centrilobular hypertrophy of hepatocytes was detected in males of the 500mg/kg bw group.
No effects on Estrous cycle was observed. In the 500 mg/kg bw group, the number of non-pregnant females was increased whereas all pairs copulated, and the fertility index was reduced. Epididymidal weight was decreased in males of the 500 mg/kg bw group. Dark spots in the mucosa of the stomach and nodes in the epididymis were observed by one animal each in the 500 mg/kg bw group. In the 500 mg/kg bw group, the number of pups, the delivery index and the number of live pups were lower than in the controls. A decrease in body weight on day 0 of lactation was observed in the 500 mg/kg bw group.No effects on sexual maturation and gross pathology.The No Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) for reproductive toxicity in rats was considered to be 100 mg/kg bw/day.
