Examinations

Maternal examinations:
All gestation animals delivered pups normally.
Fetal examinations:
The body weight of fetuses showed the favorably growths until day 4 of lactation.

Results and discussion

Results: maternal animals

Maternal developmental toxicity

Details on maternal toxic effects:
Maternal toxic effects:no effects

Details on maternal toxic effects:
The results observed in mating, fertility and estrous cycle did not reveal any effects attributable to the administration of test substance.
Observation of delivery, all gestation animals delivered of pups normally, and there were not a treatment-related effect throughout the lactation period.

Effect levels (maternal animals)

Dose descriptor:
NOAEL
Effect level:
750 mg/kg bw/day
Based on:
no data
Basis for effect level:
other: maternal toxicity

Results (fetuses)

Details on embryotoxic / teratogenic effects:
Embryotoxic / teratogenic effects:no effects

Details on embryotoxic / teratogenic effects:
The necropsy of stillborn, dead pups until day 4 of lactation and newborns at day 4 of lactation did not reveal any effects attributable to the administration of the test substance.

Effect levels (fetuses)

Dose descriptor:
NOAEL
Effect level:
750 mg/kg bw/day
Based on:

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Under the conditions of this screening study, no test substance-related effects were observed on the general physical condition of F1 pups at any dosage level. As such, a dosage level of 750 mg/kg bw/day was considered to be the no-observed-adverse-effect level (NOAEL) for maternal and teratogenic toxicity.
