- Executive summary:
In Reproductive toxicity test, Hartley Albino female guinea pig were treated with ammonium molybdate in the concentration of 0 and 5.115 mg/kg bw orally in drinking water. No mortality, clinical sign, change in body weight, no change in RBC, haemoglobin and mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration and gross pathology were observed in treated rats as compared to control. Similarly, no effect on estrous cycle, Number pregnant, aborted resorbing, Stillborn and Born alive in treated rats as compared to control. Significant histological changes were in pancreas such as atrophy, lysis of single cells, and loss of acinar pattern and vacuolation of acinar cells. In addition, No effect on viability, body weight and hematology of pups were observed as compared to control. Significant histological changes were in pancreas such as atrophy, lysis of single cells, and loss of acinar pattern and vacuolation of acinar cells in six weeks old pups. The effects on pancreas were considered to result from copper deficiency rather than molybdenum toxicity. Therefore, NOAEL was considered to be 5.115 mg/kg bw when Hartley Albino female guinea pig were treated with ammonium molybdate orally in drinking water approx. 63 days.

Description of key information
Reproductive toxicity
In different studies,Ammonium molybdate (13106-79-8)has been investigated for reproductive toxicity to a greater or lesser extent. Often are the studies based on in vivo experiments i.e. most commonly in rats and guinea pig forAmmonium molybdate (13106-79-8).
In experimental study given byJ.Mcc Howell,Y.Shunxiang, J.M.Gawthorne(Research in veterinary science, 1993, 55, 224-230)Ammonium molybdate (13106-79-8)was tested for reproductive toxicity.Reproductive toxicity test was performed in Hartley Albino guinea pigs in a group 8 at concentration of dose260.58µmol /L/day in distilled water by oral route .The mature female animals entered in third oestrous cycle for each female, male was introduced into cage twice a day for 8.00 to 10.00 and 19.00 and 21.00, If copulation plug was found under the cage and /or sperm were detected in vaginal smear then it is considered to have mated. Cage side observation done daily for aborted fetus , At birth 2 animals of each litter were retained with dam for 6 weeks then both pups were killed. Young in excess of 2 were killed at birth. Body weight of dams and pups were recorded each week.
All the animals were sacrifice and histopathological changes in pancreas observed in dam and in six week old pup like atrophy, lysis of single cells, loss of aciner pattern and vacuolation of acinar cells, thinning, beading and fragmentation or loss of reticulum fibres. Ammonium molybdate did not appeared to have adverse effect atconcentration of dose260.58µmol /L/day in distilled water by oral routeTherefore, the endpoint for reprotoxicity to Ammonium molybdate (13106-79-8) was considered to be NOAEL at 260.58 concentration in Hartley Albino guinea pigs.
It is further supported by experimental study given byGeeta Pandey and Gyan Chand Jain(Int.J.Curr.Microbiol.App.Sci (2015) 4(1): 150-161).Reprotoxicity test was performed in male wistar rats. 8 animals per group in dose concentration 50, 100, 150 mg/kg/day.Group with dose concentration 150 mg /kg /day were considered as recovery group. The Ammonium molybdate dissolved in water and given by oral route while control group received only vehicle .The rats were sacrificed within 24 h of the last administration of the compound and organ weight were calculated and blood samples were also collected. Histomorphometric observations and Histopathology of testis were studied. Effects of chemical on seminiferous tubule diameter, Leydig cell area and nuclear diameter were observed. In histopathology of testis degeneration in spermatogenic and Leydig cells, shrinked seminiferous tubules, thinner germinal epithelium, exfoliation of germ cells and depletion of spermatozoa from lumen of seminiferous tubule were observed. 60 days of recovery testicular histoarchitecture represented almost normal appearance. Therefore, the endpoint for reprotoxicity to Ammonium molybdate (13106-76-8) was considered to be LOAEL at 50 mg/kg/day in male wistar rat.
Based on the above study on Ammonium molybdate (13106-79-8), it can be concluded that NOAEL value is 260.58
µmol /L/day
Justification for classification or non-classification
Based on the above study on Ammonium molybdate (13106-79-8), it can be concluded that NOAEL value is 260.58
µmol /L/day
