DIET PREPARATION
Diets were prepared weekly (2 preparations of 12 Kg per dose group) in increasing order of dose. One half of the desired amount of test materials was weighed into each of two beakers. Distilled water was added to the test material until a final volume of 240 ml/beakers was reached. The compound was dissolved using a polytron mixer. 12 Kg of P.M.I. Certified Rodent diet #5002M was weighed and placed into a mixer equipped with a liquid tube and high-speed liquid addition blending bar. The two solutions of test materials were added to the blender via the liquid feed tube while the diet was mixing. Each beaker was rinsed with an additional 100 ml of distilled water. After 5 minutes of mixing the blender was opened and the diet was blended for an additional 15 minutes.
- Details on mating procedure:
- - M/F ratio per cage: one females rat with one male from the same treatment group
- Length of cohabitation: 21 days
- Proof of pregnancy: a female was presumed pregnant if a sperm plug was detected in her vagina, or sperm plugs were found on the absorbent paper liner beneath the cage. If fewer than 3 sperm plugs were observed on the dropsheet, a vaginal lavage sample was obtained and examined microscopically.
- After 10 days of unsuccessful pairing replacement of first male by another male with proven fertility.
- Further matings after two unsuccessful attempts: no - Analytical verification of doses or concentrations:
- yes
- Details on analytical verification of doses or concentrations:
- The samples from the firts diet preparation were collected and submitted for analysis to determine uniformity of mixing and to confirm the intended dietary concentrations. These samples were collected from the top, middle, and bottom of one batch at each dietary concentrations. Samples from week 5 were analyzed for proximity to target concentrattions as well as for stability of Primid XL-522 in the feed following 7 and 14 days storage at room temperature. Additional samples from preparations for weeks 11 and 21 were analyzede for proximity to target concentrations. Samples were submitted frozen and packed in dry ice to Huntingdon Research Centre LTD., Cambs.,England for analysis.
The samples were analysed with the HPLC anlysis . The results from analysis indicate that the test diets analysed during the toxicity study were accurately formulated. The results also confirm that the formulation that were homogeneous and stable for a period representing the time from preparation to completation of feeding . - Duration of treatment / exposure:
- Animals were exposed to Primid XL-552 beginning at approximately six weeks of age. Animals were mated after eleven weeks of exposure; treatment continued throughout gestation, lactation and until terminal necropsy , for a total of 21 week.
- Frequency of treatment:
- Animals were fed ad libitum with P.M.I. Certified Rodent Diet #5002M.

Examinations
- Parental animals: Observations and examinations:
- CAGE SIDE OBSERVATIONS: Yes
Cage-side checks to detect dead or moribund animals were made twice daily throughout the in-life phase of the study. Dropsheets were also examined for abnormalities of the feces and/or urin curing the cage-side checks. An exception was made on holidays and weekends, when cage-side checks were made once daily.
DETAILED CLINICAL OBSERVATIONS: Yes
All animals were examined weekly for signs of ill health, reaction to treatment, and/or abnormal behavior or appearance.
BODY WEIGHT: Yes
FOOD CONSUMPTION AND COMPOUND INTAKE (if feeding study):
Male and female body weights and feed consumption were recorded weekly until cohabitation. Feed consumption was not measured during cohabitation because of the inability to determine consumption on an individual basis. Body weight and feed consumption of females were measured during gestation on Days 0,7, 14 and 21, and during lactation on Days 0, 4, 7, 14 and 21. Body weights for females that did not mate, and all males, were determined weekly until terminal necropsy. Compound intake was calculated weekly from feed consumption and body weight. - Litter observations:
- STANDARDISATION OF LITTERS
- Performed on day 4 postpartum: yes
- If yes, maximum of 8 pups/litter (4/sex/litter as nearly as possible); excess pups were killed and discarded.
PARAMETERS EXAMINED
Each pup was examined for external alterations and clinical signs. Throughout lactation, cage-side observations were made twice daily to detect dead or moribund animals. Offsprings were individually weighed and examined for signs of ill health, reaction to treatment and abnormal behavior or appearance on Days 0,4,7,14 and 21 PP . - Postmortem examinations (parental animals):
- Animals found dead were necropsied immediately or refrigerated until a necropsy could be performed.
Parental animals were euthanized by an IP injection of Nembutal anesthesia (1 ml/body weight) followed by exsanguination. The following tissues were collected from each animal and preserved in 10% neutral buffered formalin for histopathological examination:
Males: epidydimes, prostate, testes, seminal vesicles, coagulating gland
Females: ovaries, uterus, cervix, vagina
All: liver, kidney, pituitary and all tissues with gross changes.
The uteri of females that did not deliver were opened and stained with 10% ammonium sulfide to detect very early resorptions.
HISTOPATHOLOGY
Microscopic examination was performed on all tissues collected from control and high doser group parental animals, as well as animals that died or were sacrificed moribund. Since no treatment-related effects were observed, tissues were not examined at lower dose levels. - Postmortem examinations (offspring):
- Pups found dead, and pups culled on day 4 PP were grossly examined for abnormalities of the abdominal and thoracic cavities. all remaining offsprings were euthanized by CO2 axphyxiation at the end of the weaning period ( Day 21 PP) and similarly examined for gross abnormalities.

Details on results (P0)
No treatment-related clinical signs of toxicity were observed in male animals exposed to 20.000 ppm throughout the pre-mating period. However, subsequent to mating soft and/or irregular feces were observed in 24 of 30 animals. Similar findings were observed in only 1 of 30 males in the control group. Since this condition did not develop until after more than 11 weeks of continuous treatment, its toxicological significance and relationship to treatment are unclear. In females exposed to 20.000 ppm, soft and/or irregular feces were noted in 11 of 30 animals, only during the premating period. In most of these animals, these signs did not develop and persist until 6-7 weeks of treatment. No clinical signs of toxicity were observed in female animals during gestation or lactation. However, due to housing conditions (use of bedding) abnormalities of feces or urine, unless extreme, could not be readily observed in females during these periods.
BODY WEIGHT AND FOOD CONSUMPTION (PARENTAL ANIMALS) a statistically significant decrease in mean body weight was observed in males exposed to 4500 ppm Primid XL-552 during weeks 6-12 of treatment. Due to the lack of dose-response, this finding was not judged to be treatment-related. Females in the 1000 ppm dose group exhibited consistently higher body weights than the control group throughout gestation and lactation, which was statistically significant at day 14 of lactation. This finding was judged to be incidental.
TEST SUBSTANCE INTAKE (PARENTAL ANIMALS) The mean compound intake for all adult animals was calculated from feed consumption and body weight data as follows:
(Dietary concentration ppm x Feed Consumption g/day)
Compound intake (mg/kg/day) =----------------------------------------------------
(Body weigth g at the beginning of the week)
GROSS PATHOLOGY /HISTOPATHOLOGY (PARENTAL ANIMALS) The only possible treatment-related gross finding was perineal staining with feces in 7 of 30 high dose male rats. These observations suggest soft feces and /or failure to groom their perineal areas . However, gross examination of the entire gastrointestinal tract did not indicate the presence of lesions that could be related to perineal staining. There were no treatment-related microscopic changes in tissues examined from male and female parental rats administered 20.000 ppmPrimid XL-552 in their diet.
In order to maximize the usefulness of the microscopic examination of the female reproductive tract, the morphology of the vagina and uterus during the estrus cycle was characterized .The uterine and vaginal morphologic changes as pertains to the estrus cycle occured with similar frequency in both high dose treated and control females.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Primid XL-552 , when administered in the diet has no observed effect level (NOEL) for general toxicity in parental animals of 4500 ppm. At 20.000 ppm, indications of toxicity were limited to soft and/or irregular feces in both sexes. Due to the delayed onset, the toxicological significance and relationship to treatment of these signs were considered equivocal. Reproductive toxicity was not observed at dose up to and including 20.000 ppm.
- Executive summary:
This study was performed to investigate the effects of Primid XL-552 on growth, development and reproductive performance in male and female rats through one generation. Animals were exposed to Primid XL-552 in the diet at concentrations of 0, 1000, 4500, and 20.000 ppm beginning at approximately six weeks of age. Animals were mated after eleven weeks of exposure; treatment continued throughtout gestation, lactation and until terminal necropsy. Body weight, feed consumption, and clinical signs were monitored in parental animals throughout the study. Survival and growth of offsprings were monitored throughout lactation. Offsprings that were euthanized (culled on day 4 or terminally sacrificed at day 21) and pups found dead were grossly examined. Parental animals were euthanized and necropsied after weaning of the offspring. Reproductive organs, liver, kidneys, and pituitary were examined microscopically in all control and high dose (20.000 ppm) parental animals. Since no treatment-related effects were observed, tissues were not examined at lower dose levels.
