Details on results (P0)
No treatment related clinical signs were observed (see section 7.5.1).
BODY WEIGHT AND FOOD CONSUMPTION (PARENTAL ANIMALS)
Body weights and body weight gain of treated animals remained in the same range as controls (see section 7.5.1).
TEST SUBSTANCE INTAKE (PARENTAL ANIMALS)
There were no differences in food consumption (absolute and relative) between treated and control animals (see section 7.5.1).
REPRODUCTIVE FUNCTION: ESTROUS CYCLE (PARENTAL ANIMALS)
not examined
REPRODUCTIVE FUNCTION: SPERM MEASURES (PARENTAL ANIMALS)
Microscopic examination of the integrity of the spermatogenetic cycle did not provide any evidence of impaired spermatogenesis.
REPRODUCTIVE PERFORMANCE (PARENTAL ANIMALS)
Four females (one female in each group) were non-pregnant.
The average number of implantation sites in pregnant females receiving 50, 200 or 1000 mg/kg/day was 13.7, 16.3 and 15.2, respectively, compared with a mean figure of 14.7 for the control group. These values are within the range expected in control rats of this age and strain, and give no indication of a treatment-related disturbance.
The majority of pairs mated during the first 4 days of the mating period. Mean pre-coital times were similar for treated and control groups.
For each dose group, 100% mating was confirmed. The fertility and conception indices were similar for treated and control groups. The gestation Index was 100% for all treatment groups.
ORGAN WEIGHTS (PARENTAL ANIMALS)
Organ weights and organ:body weight ratlos of treated animals were considered to be similar to those of control animals.
GROSS PATHOLOGY (PARENTAL ANIMALS)
Macroscopic observations of the remaining animals at necropsy did not reveal any alterations that were considered to have arisen as a result of treatment.
HISTOPATHOLOGY (PARENTAL ANIMALS)
There were no microscopic findings recorded which could be attributed to treatment with the test substance.
OTHER FINDINGS:
BREEDING DATA:
The mean duration of gestation of treated females was similar to that of the control females and ranged between 21.4 and 22.0 days.

Results: F1 generation
General toxicity (F1)
- Clinical signs:
- no effects observed

- no mortality observed
- Body weight and weight changes:
- no effects observed
- Sexual maturation:
- not examined
- Organ weight findings including organ / body weight ratios:

- Gross pathological findings:
- no effects observed
- Histopathological findings:
- not examined
Details on results (F1)
The number of living and dead pups at first litter check revealed similar values for treated and control groups. Postnatal loss between days 0-4 post partum showed a statistical significant increase in the 50 mg/kg dose group. Consequently, the viability Index of this group was statistically significantly decreased. This was considered to be caused mainly by the loss of one litter, therefore no toxicological significance was attached to this finding.
CLINICAL SIGNS (OFFSPRING)
No unexpected clinical signs were recorded among pups of any dose group. The incidences of the small number of findings were within expected limits and showed no relationship to dose. They included no milk in stomach, hypothermia, smell appearance, open skull and back, curled tail, prothrusion of the tongue, autolytic pup, yellow skin, haemorrhage on stomach, and broken tail.
BODY WEIGHT (OFFSPRING)
No statistically significant group differences were recorded for body weights of pups at days 1 and 4 post partum.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- There were no changes in clinical appearance, functional observations, body weights, food consumption, clinical laboratory investigations, reproduction, litter observation, macroscopic examination, organ weights and microscopic examination that were considered to be an effect of treatment.
From the results presented in this report a definitive No Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) for parental and reproduction/developmental toxicity for the test item of 1000 mg/kg/day was established. - Executive summary:
A combined repeated dose toxicity study with reproduction/developmental toxicity screening test with the test item administered by oral gavage in Wistar rats (10/sex/group) was performed according to OECD TG 422. The dose levels for this study were 0, 50, 200 and 1000 mg/kg bw/day. Oral dosing of male and fernale Wistar rats with the test item at dose levels of 50, 200 or 1000 mg/kg b.w./day for at least 28 days, revealed no treatment-related findings on parental animals, on fertility, on embryo-foetal development, or on pup development. From the results presented in this report a definitive No Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) for parental and reproduction/developmental toxicity for the test item of 1000 mg/kg/day was established.
