- Executive summary:
The repeated dose oral toxicity potential and the reproductive / developmental toxicity potential of the test article was evaluated in male and female Wistar Han rats via daily oral gavage for 28 days. The study was performed in compliance with OECD GLP (1997). The study design was based on OECD 422 (1996) and US EPA OPPTS 870.3650 (2000), and essentially conforms to OECD 421 (1995), US EPA OPPTS 870.3550 (2000), EC 440/2008 Part B B7. L142 (2008), OECD 407 (2008), and US EPA OPPTS 870.3050 (2000). The test article was dosed undiluted and given at a dose volume of 0.055-0.553 mL/kg to four groups of rats by oral gavage. Rats (10/sex/group) were dosed with 0, 100, 300, and 1000 mg/kg-body weight test article per day. Additional rats (5 males/group) were exposed at 0 mg/kg-day or 1000 mg/kg-day for a recovery study. All rats were dosed once daily for 7 days per week; all males were exposed for a total of 29 days, including 2 weeks of exposure prior to mating and during mating for rats in the 4 main groups, and all females were exposed for a total of 41-47 days prior to mating, during mating, during post mating, and lactation periods. Males in the recovery groups were allowed to recover for 14 days following the last dose. Observational parameters evaluated in all main and recovery groups rats included; mortality (twice daily), clinical signs (daily), body weights (first day of exposure and weekly thereafter), food consumption (weekly), and general reproduction data (during mating and post-mating). Pups born to mating mothers were evaluated for mortality (daily), clinical signs (at least once daily), body weights (Days 1 and 4 of lactation), and sex determination (Days 1 and 4 of lactation). Hematology, clinical biochemistry, necropsy, and histopathology and organ weight collection were performed on selected tissues of rats in the main exposure groups (5/sex/group). Histopathology included adrenal glands, brain, colon, duodenum, eyes, female mammary gland area, femur including joint, heart, ileum, jejunum, kidneys, liver, lung, lymph nodes, peyer's patches, pituitary gland, rectum, sciatic nerve, skeletal muscle, spinal cord, spleen, sternum with bone marrow, stomach, thymus, thyroid, trachea, urinary bladder, cervix, clitoral gland, coagulation gland, epididymides, ovaries, preputial gland, prostate gland, seminal vesicles, testes, uterus, and vagina. No treatment related mortality occurred during the study period. No clinical signs of toxicity related to the test article were noted in any animal. Hearing ability, pupillary reflex, static righting reflex and grip strength were normal in all selected animals tested in a functional observational battery. No toxicologically relevant changes in body weight and body weight gain were noted. Food consumption before or after allowance for body weight was similar between treated and control animals. Hematological and clinical biochemistry parameters of treated rats were considered not to have been affected by treatment. Macroscopic observations at necropsy did not reveal any alterations that were considered to have arisen as a result of treatment. No toxicologically relevant changes were noted in organ weights and organ to body weight ratios. There were no treatment-related microscopic findings. No toxicologically relevant effects on reproductive parameters were noted. No toxicologically relevant effects on gestation index and duration, parturition, maternal care and postnatal pup development were observed. Based on the results of the study, the test article has a No Observed Adverse Effect Level of 1000 mg/kg/day.
