Results and discussion
Results: maternal animals
General toxicity (maternal animals)
- Clinical signs:
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- There were no clinical signs of toxicological relevance observed in the control, LD and MD dose groups.
Low incidences of the clinical signs like alopecia on various body parts were noted in isolated females of the dose groups and the control group. In HD females sacrificed in moribund condition, predominant clinical signs observed were prone position, slight to severe piloerection, reduced spontaneous activity, half eyelid closure, nasal discharge, abnormal breathing and moving the bedding. Piloerection, reduced spontaneous activity, ataxia, hypothermia, prone position, hunched posture, wasp waist, pale skin and dehydration was also noted in few terminally sacrificed females of the HD group. - Mortality:
- mortality observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence):
- No mortality occurred in the control or any of the dose groups during the treatment period of this study. However, four females (no. 80, 85-86 and 90) of the HD group were euthanized in a moribund condition for animal welfare reasons between gestation day 16-19. This animal morbidity was considered to be related to the treatment with the test item at a dose of 750/450 mg/kg bw/day. With this exception, all animals survived until the end of the study.
- Body weight and weight changes:
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- The mean body weight increased with the progress of the study in the control, the LD, the MD and the HD group. However, after initiation of treatment the mean body weight gain was noted to be moderately but statistically significantly lower (p < 0.05, p < 0.01 and p<0.001) in the HD group when compared to controls during gestation days 11-14 (54.4 % of controls),14-17 (60.1 % of controls), 17-20 (42.3 % of control) and 0-20 (65.2 % of controls). This was based on a loss of body weight of some of the HD females. Lower body weight gain resulted in statistically significantly lower mean body weight of the HD group at the end of the treatment period. Mean body weight of the HD group was slightly lower on gestation day 17 (94 % of controls, p < 0.01) and moderately lower on gestation day 20 (89 % of controls, p < 0.001). Effects on mean body weight and body weight gain in the HD group were considered to be test item related.
The mean body weight of the LD and MD group was unaffected by the test item administration. The mean body weight gain of the LD and the MD group was comparable to the control group throughout the whole study period and was within the normal range of variation for this strain. - Food consumption and compound intake (if feeding study):
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- In correlation to the body weight and body weight gain, food consumption in the HD group was noted to be moderately and statistically significantly lower compared to the control group on various gestation days like 5-8 (80.3 % of controls), 8-11(80.4 % of controls), 11-14 (79.9 % of controls), 14-17 (69.9 % of controls), 17-20 (70.1 % of controls) and 0-20 (82.3 % of controls) throughout the treatment period. This effect on the food consumption of the HD group was considered to be test item related.
Mean food consumption of the LD and the MD group was comparable to the controls in correlation to the body weight and body weight gain. - Food efficiency:

- No gross pathological changes of toxicological relevance were observed during the macroscopic examination of the females of control LD and MD group.
In the HD group animals that were euthanised for animal welfare reasons (80, 85, 86 and 90), macroscopic findings like small spleen (1/29), discoloured pale /spotted liver (1/29), enlarged adrenal glands (1/29), discoloured dark lung (1/29), gas filled gastrointestinal tract (3/29) were observed. In terminally sacrificed females, enlarged adrenal (1/29) and right atrial auricle enlarged/left atrial auricle rudimentary (1/29) were observed. These gross pathological changes in HD group could be considered as test item related. - Neuropathological findings:

Results (fetuses)
- Fetal body weight changes:
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- The individual mean foetus weight of the HD group was moderately, statistically significantly lower when compared to the control group . The mean male foetus weight of the HD group was also statistically significantly lower when compared to the control group The mean female foetus weight (Individual basis) of the HD group was lower when compared to the control but without achieving statistical significance.
Moderately, statistically significantly lower mean foetus weight (litter basis) of the HD group was observed when compared to the control group.
The lower mean foetus weight (individual and litter basis) and male/female foetus weight (individual basis) of the HD group was considered to be related to the treatment with the test item. There were no test item related effects of toxicological relevance for the total litter weight, male and female litter weight in any of the treatment groups when compared with the controls.
Migrated Data from removed field(s)
Field "Fetal/pup body weight changes" (Path: ENDPOINT_STUDY_RECORD.DevelopmentalToxicityTeratogenicity.ResultsAndDiscussion.ResultsFetuses.FetalPupBodyWeightChanges): no effects observed - Reduction in number of live offspring:
- no effects observed
- Changes in sex ratio:
- no effects observed
- Changes in litter size and weights:
- no effects observed
- Changes in postnatal survival:
- no effects observed
- External malformations:
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- There were no external abnormalities considered to be of toxicological relevance in any of the dose groups. Statistical analysis of data revealed no significant differences to the control group.
Low incidences of head odema, haematoma on various body parts in few foetuses, red tail, head- subcutaneous edema and anopthalmia, agnathia, anencephaly, absence of maxilla were noted in isolated females of the control group and/or the dose groups without dose dependency. As these findings were observed mostly in single foetuses, they were considered to be incidental in nature and unrelated to the treatment. - Skeletal malformations:
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- A statistically significant increase for litter incidences of unossified caudal vertebral centrum was observed in HD group when compared with the controls.
A slightly higher litter incidences, but without achieving statistical significance for incomplete ossification of frontal, nasal, premaxilla, 1st sternebra, 2nd sternebra, 4th sternebra -incomplete and misaligned ossification, 5th sternebra, pubis –bilateral, zygomatic arch, zygomatic arch, bilateral 14th rudimentary rib, right 14th full rib, wavy ribs ), rudimentary left 7th cervical rib and right full 7th cervical rib were observed in the HD group when compared to the concurrent control group.
Statistically significant reduced ossification or no statistical significant reduced ossification of several bones that normally exhibit rapid ossification in the last days of gestation was observed in the HD group indicating a generalised skeletal delay in the HD group. This delayed ossification was considered to be associated with the observed maternal toxicity and reduced foetal body weight of the HD group. Generally delayed ossification is not regarded to persist postnatally and not associated with long-term consequences on survival, general growth and development and therefore not considered to be adverse. Cervical ribs are skeletal alterations that can occasionally be seen in animals of this strain. Rudimentary/short ribs are considered as transient abnormalities. In contrast, full/long cervical ribs are considered permanent and may cause health effects in humans; however, postnatal consequences in rats are unknown but assumed to be minimal.This finding was not considered to be treatment related but spontaneous in nature.
Wavy ribs are common findings in rodent studies and are considered to be postnatally reversible. Thus, wavy ribs are classified as variations and were not considered as an adverse effect of the treatment with the test item.
There was no statistical significance and no indication of a test item related trend in the type and/or incidences of other skeletal findings and they were therefore considered to be spontaneous in nature. - Visceral malformations:
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- Visceral findings observed in the dose groups were at frequencies generally comparable to or in some cases slightly higher or lower in frequency compared to controls. As observed findings were either minor variations and/or due to a lack of dose dependency and consistency, no toxicological significance can be attributed to these findings and they were considered to be spontaneous in nature.
All litter incidences were statistically insignificant when compared with the control. Furthermore, slightly higher litter incidence of the discoloured dark liver without achieving statistical significance was observed in HD group but well within the historical control data for discoloured dark liver. There were also one each litter incidences of discolouration of organs like spleen and kidneys observed occasionally in HD group without achieving statistical significance. Discolouration of organs was considered likely to reflect the consequence of a functional disorder and thus not strictly as developmental anomalies. As only one litter was affected in HD group with discolouration of spleen and kidneys, these findings were not considered as toxicologically relevant.
Dilated ureter (bilateral) was observed with a higher litter incidence in the HD group when compared to the control group but without statistical significance. This is a common finding in rodent studies and is classified as a variation as it is transient and likely to be postnatally reversible. Furthermore, values were within the historical control data so that no toxicological relevance was accounted for it. - Other effects:
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- Craniofacial examination by razor blade serial sectioning technique revealed few findings (slightly dilated 3rd ventricle, retinal fold, dilated lateral ventricle, slight subcutaneous edema, small pituitary gland, misshapen pituitary gland, head- subcutaneous haematoma and oedema) at low frequencies generally comparable to or in some cases slightly higher or lower in frequency in the dose groups compared to the controls. These findings were considered to be spontaneous in nature and not related to the treatment with the test item. Statistical analysis of the data revealed no statistical significance of any of the findings. Litter incidence for slightly dilated lateral ventricles in the HD group was higher without achieving statistical significance but well within historical control data when compared with the control.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- In the pre-natal developmental toxicity study, conducted according to OECD TG 414 and in compliance with GLP, the reported NOAEL for maternal and foetal toxicity was 150 mg/kg bw/day based on statistically significantly reduced body weight, body weight gain and food consumption during the treatment period in HD group females and a statistically significantly lower mean terminal, adjusted maternal weight and foetal weight in HD group when compared with the control. Furthermore, no treatment related external, visceral and craniofacial findings were observed in HD group. However, reduced ossification of some bones was observed which was indicative of a generalized delayed ossification associated with foetal growth retardation. Observed foetal effects in HD group might be secondary to maternal toxicity.
