- Details on study design:
- Dose selection rational: In the DRF study doses of 100, 300 and 1000 mg/kg bw/day were administered by oral gavage to pregnant rats from GD6 to GD19. In the DRF study, 6 animals were examined in the control, 100 and 300 mg/kg bw/day dose groups, while 8 animals were examined in the 1000 mg/kg bw/day dose group. No maternal and/or foetal toxicity was detected at dose levels up to and including 1000 mg/kg bw/day. Based on the above results, doses of 100, 300 and 1000 mg/kg bw/day were selected for the main study.
Rational administration route: The oral route is a possible route of exposure to the test item in humans and is considered suitable to provide the systemic exposure required on this developmental toxicology study.
Examinations
- Maternal examinations:
- Clinical observations and mortality
- Morbidity and mortality: twice daily (at the beginning and end of each working day).
- Cage-side clinical observations: daily
- Detailed clinical observations: onset of treatment (GD6) then weekly.

DOSE FORMULATION ANALYSIS
Test item content of the dosing formulations was determined twice during the treatment period. All formulations were found to be in the range of 94-104% of nominal concentrations (33.3, 100 and 333 mg/mL) and were homogenous. Formulations had been shown to have good stability.
CLINICAL SIGNS AND MORTALITY
No test item related mortality and clinical signs occurred during the study at all dose levels.
MATERNAL BODY WEIGHT AND BODY WEIGHT GAIN
No toxicologically significant changes, adverse effects or effects considered related to test item administration were observed in the mean body weights or body weight gain values of the test item-treated evaluated dams when compared to control.
MATERNAL FOOD CONSUMPTION
There were no adverse, toxicologically significant effects considered related to test item administration, or relevant differences to the historical data available in the mean daily food consumption of the pregnant rats at any of the dose levels tested. No adverse effects were noted on the mean food consumption values of the evaluated animals in the test item treated groups when compared to control animals following daily administration to pregnant damns from GD6 to 20, at dose levels of up to and including 1000 mg/kg bw/day.
NECROPSY FINDINGS OF THE DAMS
No remarkable internal or external observations were recorded for any pregnant animals.
CAESAREAN SECTION AND PREGNANCY DATA
Pregnancy data
Ninety six females (24 in each group) were mated in the study. The number of confirmed pregnant, evaluated dams was 23, 24, 23 and 22 in the Control, Low, Mid and High dose groups, respectively
Intrauterine mortality, corpora lutea and implantation sites
The mean number of corpora lutea and the mean number of implantation sites were comparable with the controls in all treated groups. No adverse effect was observed in pre-implantation loss of the test item treated groups when compared to the control. The early and the late embryonic loss did not differ significantly from the control in the test item treated groups. There was no significant difference in the post-implantation loss between the test item treated and control groups. The total intrauterine mortality was comparable with the control, although there was one animal in the High dose group with 100% total intrauterine mortality. There was no statistically significant difference in foetal death compared to the control.
Viable foetuses and their sex distribution
The mean number of viable foetuses was comparable with the control mean. There was no toxicologically significant difference in the sex distribution of foetuses between the control and treatment groups.
Evaluation of placentae
There were no toxicological significant differences in the external morphology of placenta at evaluation of the treated groups compared to controls.
The weight of foetuses in the Low, Mid and High (100, 300 and 1000 mg/kg bw/day, respectively) did not differ significantly from the control mean value, when evaluated by both litter mean and group mean.
EVALUATION OF THE FOETUSES
The total number of retarded foetuses (with a weight of < the concurrent control mean- 2SD) in the Mid dose group was statistically higher than in the Control group. However, there was no clear dose-response as the incidence of body weight retarded foetuses was similar in the Control, Low and High dose groups. The number of affected litters were comparable between all groups, the difference was caused by two litters containing 100% and 50% body weight retarded foetuses in the Mid dose group. This statistical difference was not considered to be related to test item, rather an incidental finding.
Foetal External Abnormalities and visceral examination:
In summary, all abnormalities observed at visceral examination in this study were considered as incidental findings; they corresponded with the concurrent study control data, with historical control (HC) data or were considered to be spontaneous events unrelated to treatment.
Skeletal examination:
All of the skeletal findings above occurred at an incidence within the current historical control (HC) range or the concurrent study control data, thus they were considered as incidental.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Based on the results of this study, the following no-observed-adverse-effect levels were derived: NOAEL maternal toxicity: 1000 mg/kg bw/day NOAEL embryotoxicity: 1000 mg/kg bw/day NOAEL foetotoxicity: 1000 mg/kg bw/day NOAEL teratogenecity: 1000 mg/kg bw/day.
- Executive summary:
The aim the study was to assess the effects of the test item Terpenes and terpenoids, turpentine oil, alpha-pinene fraction, oligomers CAS No. 70750-57-1 on the embryonic and foetal development (including the organogenesis period) of Hannover Wistar rats in their first pregnancy.
The dams (one control and three test item treated groups) were treated daily by oral (gavage) administration, at dose levels of 100, 300 and 1000 mg/kg bw/day.
There was no unscheduled mortality or treatment related clinical signs in the study. No test item related effect was observed on body weight, body weight gain, corrected terminal body weight, corrected body weight gain / corrected net body weight gain or animal food consumption during the study. There were no toxicologically significant differences, or test item related-changes in the reproductive parameters examined in the conditions of this study. The number of corpora lutea, implantation sites and pre-implantation loss mean values were comparable in the Control or test item treated groups at all of the dose levels tested.
There were no effects considered related to test item administration on the early and late embryonic loss, post-implantation (total resorption, including the early and late embryonic loss) or total intrauterine mortality in the test item-treated dams evaluated. No remarkable internal or external observations were recorded for any pregnant animals during necropsy. The mean number of viable foetuses in all test item treated groups was comparable with the control mean. The sex distribution of foetuses did not differ significantly between the control and treatment groups both for mean and absolute numbers. There were no toxicologically significant differences in the placenta of the test item treated groups. The litter mean and group mean weights of foetuses in the Low, Mid and High dose groups did not differ significantly from the control mean. The number of body weight retarded foetuses (with a weight of < the concurrent control mean -2SD) in the Mid dose group was statistically higher than in the Control group, although the incidence of body weight retarded foetuses was similar in the Control, Low and High dose groups. All abnormalities observed at external, visceral or skeletal examination in this study were considered as incidental findings since they occurred at a incidence similar to the concurrent study control data, within the historical control (HC) incidence range, or were considered to be spontaneous events unrelated to treatment.
Based on the results of this study, the following no-observed-adverse-effect levels were derived: NOAEL maternal toxicity: 1000 mg/kg bw/day NOAEL embryotoxicity: 1000 mg/kg bw/day NOAEL foetotoxicity: 1000 mg/kg bw/day NOAEL teratogenecity: 1000 mg/kg bw/day.
