Examinations
- Maternal examinations:
- Clinical Observations
All animals were examined for overt signs of toxicity, ill-health and behavioral change immediately before dosing, soon after dosing, and one hour after dosing (except for females during parturition where applicable). All observations were recorded.
Body Weight
Individual body weights were recorded on Day 1 (prior to dosing) and then weekly for males until termination and weekly for females until pairing. During pairing phase females were weighed daily until mating was confirmed. Body weights were then recorded for females on Days 0, 7, 14 and 20 post coitum, and on Days 1 and 4 post partum. Body weights were also recorded at terminal kill.
Food Consumption
During the pre-pairing period, weekly food consumption was recorded for each cage of adults. This was continued for males after the mating phase. For females showing evidence of mating, food consumption was recorded for the periods covering post coitum Days 0-7, 7-14 and 14-20. For females with live litters, food consumption was recorded on Days 1 and 4 post partum. Food efficiency (the ratio of body weight change/dietary intake) was calculated retrospectively for males throughout the study period (with the exception of the mating phase) and for females during the pre-pairing phase. Due to offspring growth and milk production, food efficiency could not be accurately calculated during gestation and lactation.
Water Consumption
Water intake was observed daily by visual inspection of water bottles for any overt changes. Intergroup differences did not indicate any need for more formal gravimetric measurements.
Functional Observations
Prior to the start of treatment and at weekly intervals thereafter, all animals were observed for signs of functional/behavioral toxicity. Functional performance tests were also performed on five males and females selected from each dose level, prior to termination, together with an assessment of sensory reactivity to various stimuli.
Behavioral Assessment
Detailed individual clinical observations were performed for each animal using a purpose built arena. The following parameters were observed: Gait, Hyper/Hypothermia, Tremors, Skin color, Twitches, Respiration, Convulsions, Palpebral closure, Bizarre/Abnormal/Stereotypic behavior, Urination, Salivation, Defecation, Pilo-erection, Transfer arousal, Exophthalmia, Tail elevation, Lachrymation. This test was developed from the methods used by Irwin (1968) and Moser et al (1988).
Functional Performance Tests
Motor Activity: Purpose-built 44 infra-red beam automated activity monitors were used to assess motor activity. Animals were randomly allocated to the activity monitors. The tests were performed at approximately the same time on each occasion (at least two hours after dosing), under similar laboratory conditions. The evaluation period was thirty minutes for each animal. The percentage of time each animal was active and mobile was recorded for the overall thirty minute period and also during the final 20% of the period (considered to be the asymptotic period, Reiter and Macphail, 1979).
Forelimb/Hindlimb Grip Strength: An automated meter was used. Each animal was allowed to grip the proximal metal bar of the meter with its forepaws. The animal was pulled by the base of the tail until its grip was broken. The animal was drawn along the trough of the meter by the tail until its hind paws gripped the distal metal bar. The animal was pulled by the base of the tail until its grip was broken. A record of the force required to break the grip for each animal was made. Three consecutive trials were
performed for each animal. The assessment was developed from the method employed by Meyer et al (1979).
Sensory Reactivity
Each animal was individually assessed for sensory reactivity to auditory, visual and proprioceptive stimuli. This assessment was developed from the methods employed by Irwin (1968) and Moser et al (1988). The following parameters were observed: Grasp response, Touch escape, Vocalization, Pupil reflex, Toe pinch, Blink reflex, Tail pinch, Startle reflex, Finger approach.
Pregnancy and Parturition
Each pregnant female was observed at least three times a day (early morning, mid-day and as late as possible during the normal working day) around the period of expected parturition. Observations were carried out at approximately 0830 and as late as possible at weekends and public holidays. The following was recorded for each female:
i. Date of pairing
ii. Date of mating
iii. Date and approximate time of observed start of parturition
iv. Date and approximate time of observed completion of parturition
Hematology
The following parameters were measured: Hemoglobin, Erythrocyte count, Hematocrit, Erythrocyte indices (mean corpuscular hemoglobin, mean corpuscular volume, mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration), Total leukocyte count, Differential leukocyte count, Platelet count, Reticulocyte count, Prothrombin time, and Activated partial thromboplastin time.
Blood Chemistry
The following parameters were measured: Urea, Inorganic phosphorus, Glucose, Aspartate aminotransferase, Total protein, Alanine aminotransferase, Albumin Alkaline phosphatase, Albumin/Globulin ratio (by calculation), Creatinine, Sodium, Total cholesterol, Potassium, Total bilirubin, Chloride, Bile acids, Calcium.
Necropsy
Adult females and surviving offspring were terminated on Day 5 post partum. Any females which failed to achieve pregnancy or produce a litter were terminated on or after Day 25 post coitum. All adult animals were subjected to a full external and internal
examination, and any macroscopic abnormalities were recorded.
Organ Weights
The following organs were dissected free from fat and weighed before fixation from five selected males and five selected females from each dose group. Adrenals, Brain, Spleen, Heart, Kidneys, Thymus, Liver, Thyroid (weighed post-fixation with Parathyroid). The following organs were weighed from all remaining animals: Pituitary (post-fixation), Prostate and Seminal Vesicles, Epididymides, Testes, Ovaries, Uterus (weighed with Cervix).
Histopathology
Samples of the following tissues were removed from five males and five females selected from each dose group and preserved in buffered 10% formalin, except where noted: Adrenals, Muscle (skeletal), Aorta (thoracic), Bone & bone marrow (femur including stifle joint), Pancreas, Bone & bone marrow (sternum), Brain (including cerebrum, cerebellum and pons), Caecum, Rectum, Salivary glands (submaxillary), Colon, Sciatic nerve, Duodenum, Skin (hind limb), Esophagus Spinal cord (cervical, mid thoracic,
and lumbar), Eyes *, Spleen, Heart, Stomach, Ileum (including peyer’s patches), Jejunum, Thyroid/Parathyroid, Kidneys, Trachea, Liver, Thymus, Lungs (with bronchi)#, Urinary bladder, Lymph nodes (mandibular and mesenteric). The following tissues were preserved from all remaining animals: Ovaries, Pituitary, Prostate, Coagulating gland, Seminal vesicles, Epididymides ¿, Gross lesions, Testes ¿, Uterus & Cervix, Mammary gland, and Vagina.
* Eyes fixed in Davidson’s fluid
¿ preserved in Modified Davidsons fluid
# lungs were inflated to approximately normal inspiratory volume with buffered 10% formalin before immersion in fixative
All tissues from the five selected control and five 1000 mg/kg bw/day dose group animals and the single animal that died during the study were prepared as paraffin blocks, sectioned at a nominal thickness of 5 µm and stained with hematoxylin and eosin for subsequent microscopic examination. The tissues from the remaining control and 1000 mg/kg bw/day animals and any animals which did not achieve a pregnancy were also processed. Following the results of histopathological assessments, livers were also examined from five males and five females at 100 and 300 mg/kg bw/day. - Ovaries and uterine content:
- The ovaries and uterine content was examined after termination: Yes
Where possible for all females, the uterus was examined for signs of implantation and the number of uterine implantations in each horn was recorded. This procedure was enhanced; as necessary, by staining the uteri with a 0.5% ammonium polysulphide solution (Salewski 1964). The corpora lutea were also counted. - Fetal examinations:
- Litter observations
On completion of parturition (Day 0 post partum), the number of live and dead offspring was recorded.
Offspring were individually identified within each litter by tattoo on Day 1 post partum.
For each litter the following was recorded:
i. Number of offspring born
ii. Number of offspring alive recorded daily and reported on Days 1 and 4 post partum
iii. Sex of offspring on Days 1 and 4 post partum
iv. Clinical condition of offspring from birth to Day 5 post partum
v. Individual offspring weights on Days 1 and 4 post partum (litter weights were
calculated retrospectively from this data)
All live offspring were assessed for surface righting reflex on Day 1 post partum.
All offspring, including those dying during the study, were subjected to a full external and internal examination, and any macroscopic abnormalities were recorded. - Statistics:
- Where considered appropriate, quantitative data was subjected to statistical analysis to detect the significance of intergroup differences from control; statistical significance was achieved at a level of p<0.05.
Data were analyzed using the decision tree from the ProvantisTM Tables and Statistics Module as detail ed as follows: Where appropriate, data transformations were performed using the most suitable method. The homogeneity of variance from mean values was analyzed using Bartlett’s test. Intergroup variances were assessed using suitable ANOVA, or if required, ANCOVA with appropriate covariates. Any transformed data were analyzed to find the lowest treatment level that showed a significant effect using the Williams Test for parametric data or the Shirley Test for non-parametric data. If no dose response was found but the data shows nonhomogeneity of means, the data were analyzed by a stepwise Dunnett’s (parametric) or Steel (non-parametric) test to determine significant difference from the control group. Where the data were unsuitable for these analyses, pair-wise tests was performed using the Student t-test (parametric) or the Mann-Whitney U test (non-parametric).
Data not analyzed by the Provantis data capture system were assessed separately using the SPSS statistical package.
Probability values (p) are presented as follows:
p<0.01 **
p<0.05 *
p>0.05 (not significant) - Indices:

Results and discussion
Results: maternal animals
General toxicity (maternal animals)
- Clinical signs:
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- At 1000 mg/kg bw/day sporadic incidences of increased post-dosing salivation were observed for both sexes from Day 13. Similar increased post-dosing salivation was apparent for the majority of males and females receiving 300 mg/kg bw/day during Days 34 to 36. Increased post-doing salivation incidence observed in this study most probably represents occasional difficulties in dosing animals, differences in individual dosing techniques and slight differences in subjective calling levels for this observation and
was considered to be of no toxicological significance. - Mortality:
- no mortality observed
- Body weight and weight changes:
- no effects observed
- Food consumption and compound intake (if feeding study):
- no effects observed
- Food efficiency:
- no effects observed
- Water consumption and compound intake (if drinking water study):
- no effects observed
- Ophthalmological findings:
- not examined
- Haematological findings:
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- Assessment of hematology parameters for females at 1000 mg/kg bw/day has to be treated with caution as the female animals at this dosage were in a different physiological state in comparison to the other
females on the study.
For females at 1000 mg/kg bw/day, haemoglobin, erythrocyte count and hematocrit were statistically significantly higher and platelets and neutrophils counts were statistically significantly lower than control. For erythrocyte and platelet counts, the majority of individual values were outside the historical control range. - Clinical biochemistry findings:
- no effects observed
- Urinalysis findings:
- not examined
- Behaviour (functional findings):
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- At 1000 mg/kg bw/day, overall motor activity was statistically significantly lower than control for both sexes.
There were no treatment-related changes in the behavioural parameters for either sex at 100, 300 or 1000 mg/kg bw/day.
No inter-group differences in sensory reactivity assessments were apparent for either sex. - Immunological findings:
- not examined
- Organ weight findings including organ / body weight ratios:
- no effects observed
- Gross pathological findings:
- no effects observed
- Histopathological findings: non-neoplastic:
- no effects observed
Maternal developmental toxicity
- Details on maternal toxic effects:
- At 1000 mg/kg bw/day there was a clear effect on fertility which appeared to be attributable to treatment-related effects in the males on the testes and epididymides; only one female achieved pregnancy and this female subsequently showed total litter loss on Day 2 post partum. All remaining females on the study achieved pregnancy and successfully reared offspring to Day 4 of age (although at 300 mg/kg bw/day one female showed total litter loss on Day 5 post partum prior to necropsy).
Gestation length at 100 and 300 mg/kg bw/day were within the normally expected range and were considered to be unaffected by treatment.
There was considered to be no effect of maternal treatment on the corpora lutea count, preimplantation loss, numbers of implantations, post-implantation loss, litter size at birth/Day 1 and subsequent offspring survival to Day 4 of age at 100 or 300 mg/kg bw/day. Sex ratio for the offspring was similar in all groups and did not indicate any selective effect of maternal treatment on survival for either sex at 100 or 300 mg/kg bw/day.

Litter Responses
No assessment of litter responses was possible at 1000 mg/kg bw/day as only one female achieved pregnancy and this female subsequently showed total litter loss on Day 2 post partum. All remaining females on the study achieved pregnancy and successfully reared offspring to Day 4 of age (although at 300 mg/kg bw/day one female (number 72) showed total litter loss on Day 5 post partum prior to necropsy).
Offspring Litter Size, Sex Ratio and Viability
There was considered to be no effect of maternal treatment on the litter size at birth/Day 1 and subsequent offspring survival to Day 4 of age at 100 or 300 mg/kg bw/day. Sex ratio for the offspring was similar in all groups and did not indicate any selective effect of maternal treatment on survival for either sex at 100 or 300 mg/kg bw/day.
At 300 mg/kg bw/day, post-natal survival between Days 1 to 4 was slightly lower than control, although differences did not attain statistical significance, and additionally one female (number 72) showed total litter loss on Day 5 prior to termination. The apparently lower survival rate at this dosage probably reflects particular good survival among control litters where no offspring deaths were apparent. There were twelve litters at 300 mg/kg bw/day and only three of these litters showed any offspring death after Day 1. Overall, it was considered that no association between maternal treatment and post-natal offspring survival had been proven.
Offspring Growth and Development
There was considered to be no obvious effect of maternal treatment on offspring body weight on Day 1 and subsequent body weight gain to Day 4 at 100 or 300 mg/kg bw/day. At 300 mg/kg bw/day offspring body weight and body weight gain was slightly lower than control although differences did not attain statistical significance. These differences from control were principally due to one litter where offspring failed to thrive and all offspring died prior to scheduled necropsy on Day 5 post partum.
The clinical signs apparent for offspring on the study were typical for the age observed and did not indicate any obvious effect of maternal treatment at 100 and 300 mg/kg bw/day. At 300 mg/kg bw/day one litter (number 72) showed indications of possible poor maternal care (litter scattered, offspring cold and apparently unfed) prior to total litter loss on Day 5 post partum.
The mean success rate at assessment of surface righting for the offspring at Day 1 of age was lower than control at 300 mg/kg bw/day. At 100 mg/kg bw/day, the mean success rate was also lower than control, but this was principally due to one litter and this finding was considered most likely to be incidental and unrelated to maternal treatment.
Necropsy
Neither the type, incidence nor distribution of necropsy findings for decedent offspring or offspring terminated at Day 5 of age indicated any obvious effect of maternal treatment on the offspring at 100 or 300 mg/kg bw/day.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- The test item was administered by gavage to three groups, each of twelve male and twelve female Wistar Han™:RccHan™:WIST strain rats, for approximately six weeks (including a two week pre-pairing phase, pairing, gestation and early lactation for females), at dose levels of 100, 300 and 1000 mg/kg bw/day. A control group of twelve males and twelve females was dosed with vehicle alone (Polyethylene glycol 400) over the same treatment period and at the same dosage volume.
At 1000 mg/kg bw/day there was a clear effect on fertility leading to only a single pregnancy which appeared to be attributable to treatment-related effects in males on the testes and epididymides. Although pregnancy rate was satisfactory at lower dosages, treatment-related effects were apparent for the testes and epididymides at 300 mg/kg bw/day and the testes at 100 mg/kg bw/day. A No Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) for systemic toxicity and for reproduction of the male could not therefore be established.
For females, there were no findings apparent at 300 mg/kg bw/day that were considered to preclude this dosage from being a NOAEL for systemic toxicity or for reproduction.
At 300 mg/kg bw/day, post-natal survival between Days 1 to 4 was slightly lower than control, but offspring mortality was restricted to just three litters and overall no association between maternal treatment and post-natal offspring survival was proven. Additionally the mean success rate at assessment of surface righting for the offspring at Day 1 of age was lower than control. However, there was no indication of any effect on fetal body weight gain, which is probably the most accurate indicator of fetal maturity and development. In view of this the NOAEL for the offspring was considered to be at least 100 mg/kg bw/day and probably 300 mg/kg bw/day. The clear NOAEL for the offspring was considered to be at least 100 mg/kg bw/day.
