- Tissues were collected and preserved before being embedded in paraffin, sectioned, mounted on glass slides and stained with haematoxylin and eosin.
- Full tissues were examined for animals in the main study groups dosed at 0 and 50 mg/kg/day and gross lesions were examined for main study group animals dosed test material at 5 and 15 mg/kg/day - Statistics:
- All statistical tests were two-sided and performed at the 5% significance level. Males and females were analysed separately. Data were analysed for homogeneity of variance using the F-Max test. If the group variances appeared homogeneous, a parametric ANOVA was used and pairwise comparisons were made using Fisher's F protected LSD method via Student's t-test. If the variances were heterogeneous, log or square root transformations were used. If the variances remained heterogeneous, then a Kruskal-Wallis nonparametric ANOVA was used and pairwise comparisons made using chi squared protection. In circumstances where it was not possible to perform the F Max test, the non-parametric ANOVA results were reported.

- URINALYSIS
Urine volume in males and females dosed at 15 and 50 mg/kg/day was lower than in controls and this change was statistically significant for females. There was no corresponding change in the specific gravity and this change was no longer evident at the end of the recovery period. No other treatment-related urinalysis changes occurred during the study.
GROSS PATHOLOGY - Main Study Animals
Dark foci in the lung were seen at a higher incidence in males rats receiving test material at a dose of 50 mg/kg/day than in their contemporary controls. Other gross findings observed were considered incidental, of the nature commonly observed in this strain and age of rat, and/or were of similar incidences in control and treated animals and, therefore, were considered unrelated to administration of test material.
GROSS PATHOLOGY - Recovery Group Animals
No significant difference in the incidence of dark foci in the lung was seen between treated and control animals. There was a higher incidence of discolouration or "speckling" of the thymus in treated animals compared with their controls. Other gross findings were considered incidental, of the nature commonly observed in this strain and age of rat, and/or were of similar incidences in control and treated animals and, therefore, were considered unrelated to administration of test material.
HISTOPATHOLOGY: Main Study Animals
There were no microscopic findings which were associated with the administration of test material. No target tissues were identified. Alveolar hemmorrhage, which provided the microscopic correlate for the dark foci seen grossly in the lung, was seen at a similar incidence in both control and treated rats. Other microscopic findings were considered incidental, of the nature commonly observed in this strain and age of rat, and/or were of similar incidences in control and treated animals and, therefore, were considered unrelated to administration of test material.
HISTOPATHOLOGY: Recovery Group Animals
Multifocal hemorrhage provided the microscopic correlate for the gross finding of discolouration or "speckling" observed in the thymus; the extent of hemorrhage was minimal and this is generally considered to be a common background finding. Other microscopic findings were considered incidental, of the nature commonly observed in this strain and age of rat, and/or were of similar incidences in control and treated animals and, therefore, were considered unrelated to administration of test material.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Under the conditions of the study, the NOEL of the test material was determined to be 50 mg/kg/day.
- Executive summary:
The repeat dose toxicity of the test material was determined in accordance with the standardised guideline OECD 407. During the study groups of rats were dosed test material orally, by gavage, for 28 consecutive days. Groups of recovery animals were included to evaluate the potential reversibility of any findings over a 14 day recovery period. Test material was dosed at 0, 5, 15 and 50 mg/kg/day. Clinical signs, body weight changes, food consumption, opthalmology, detailed functional observations, clinical pathology parameters, gross necropsy findings, organ weights and histopathologic examinations were performed.
Under the conditions of the study, no treatment-related findings were noted in any of the parameters assessed. The mucous membranes of the oesophagus and stomach tolerated the test material up to a concentration of 5 mg/mL without any adverse effects. With regard to the local mucous membrane compatibility, a no observed adverse effect level of 5 mg/mL (50 mg/kg/day) can be derived.
In conclusion, administration of the test material by once daily oral gavage for 28 days was well tolerated in rats at levels of 5, 15 and 50 mg/kg/day. Based on these results, the no-observed effect level was considered to be 50 mg/kg/day.
