Administration / exposure
- Route of administration:
- oral: gavage
- Vehicle:
- water
- Remarks:
- Deionized
- Details on exposure:
- The test article was prepared daily in the vehicle to obtain 5% w/v active aqueous solution. Human exposure is unlikely by the oral route. However, the oral route was chosen to maximize systemic exposure to the test article.
- Analytical verification of doses or concentrations:
- yes
- Details on analytical verification of doses or concentrations:
- Samples of the test article vehicle mixtures and vehicle control were submitted to sponsor on June 25, 1990 (Day 6) and July 5, 1990 (Day 15).
- Details on mating procedure:
- Animals from respective groups were mated by placing one male and one or two females, selected at random in a breeding cage until females exhibited evidence of copulation. These females were then assigned to respective groups consecutively. Vaginal examinations and slides were made daily to determine if sperm were present. The day of observation of a vaginal plug and sperm or only sperm was designated as Day O of gestation.
- Duration of treatment / exposure:
- Once daily beginning after implantation (Day 6 of gestation) and continuing through gestation to Day 15 of pregnancy with Day 0 defined as the day a vaginal plug and/or sperm were found. Concurrently, another group of mated females received deionized water at a dose volume of 9 ml/kg/day and served as the vehicle control.

Examinations
- Maternal examinations:
- CAGE SIDE OBSERVATIONS: Yes - Time schedule: Throughout the test period, each animal was observed at least once daily- Cage side observations were included. Pertinent changes and signs of toxicity including mortality were recorded. BODY WEIGHT: Yes- Time schedule for examinations: The females were weighed the day copulation was confirmed (Day 0) and on Days 6, 9, 12, 15 and 20 of presumed gestation. The amount of test material administered to the individual females during the dosing period was based on the most recent body weights.FOOD CONSUMPTION AND COMPOUND INTAKE (if feeding study): Yes Food consumption was recorded for gestation Days 0-6, 6-9, 9-12, 12-15 and 15-20.WATER CONSUMPTION AND COMPOUND INTAKE (if drinking water study): NoPOST-MORTEM EXAMINATIONS: Yes - Sacrifice on day 20- both actual and corrected body weights (subtract weight of gravid uterus) were recorded.- Necropsy was performed and the carcass discarded. All fetuses were individually weighed, sexed, numbered, tagged and examined for external malformations and variations.
- Ovaries and uterine content:
- The number and location of viable and non-viable fetuses, early and late resorptions, total implantations and corpora lutea were recorded on the log form for the individual dam.
- Fetal examinations:
- Approximately one-half of the fetuses were placed in Bouin's fluid for subsequent soft tissue examination by free-hand sectioning. The remaining fetuses were placed in ethyl alcohol (95%), later macerated with potassium hydroxide and stained with Alizarin Red S (Lot #126F-0315) for subsequent skeletal examination. Fetal alterations were classified as malformations or developmental variations.
- Statistics:
- Statistical analyses compared the treatment groups to the control group with the level of significance at p< 0.05 . Only gravid females were used in statistical analyses. Maternal body weight, body weight gain, food consmnption and the mean number of viable fetuses, non-viable fetuses, total implantations and corpora lutea were compared by analysis of variance (one-way classification), to judge significance of differences from the respective control mean. Non-parametric statistics were used where variances were significantly different between groups as per Bartlett's Test. The number of early resorptions, late resorptions, pre- and post-implantational losses and percentages of these resorptions and losses were compared by the Mann-Whitney U-Test to judge significance of differences. The male and female fetal sex distribution and the number of litters with malformations were compared using Chi-Square test. Statistics were calculated using Systat by Systat Inc., Evanston, IL (Pharmakon S.O.P. PH-083).
Results and discussion
Results: maternal animals
General toxicity (maternal animals)
- Clinical signs:
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- Six dams in the 150 mg/kg/day dose group exhibited post-dose salivation. The majority of the dams in the 300 and 450 mg/kg/day dose groups exhibited post-dose salivation. Additional signs noted in these dose groups included chromodacryorrhea, decreased activity, poor grooming, abnormal stance, abnormal gait and decreased body tone. These deaths were attributed to technical error (pulmonary intubation) and not the result of test article toxicity.
- Mortality:

- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- There was one fetal death observed at cesarean section from the 300 mg/kg/day (mid dose) dose group. Necropsy revealed pale placenta, maceration, edema and lack of bone ossification. This death was judged coincidental and not related to treatment with the test article.

- Changes in postnatal survival:
- no effects observed
- External malformations:
- no effects observed
- Skeletal malformations:
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- Eight fetuses with skeletal malformations were detected during the study: seven low dose fetuses (2.1%) from one litter (4.2%) and one high dose fetus (0.3%) from one litter (3.8%). The first seven exhibited abnormally shaped scapula (broad and flat) and short appendicular bones (humerus, radius, ulna, femur, tibia and fibula). While this produced statistical significance in the total number of skeletal malformations in this low dose group compared to controls, litter incidence was not statistically significant. The one fetus from the high dose group exhibited unaligned vertebrae. All eight skeletal malformations were not observed dose dependent, were inconsistant in type and incidence and are considered spontaneous and not related to treatment with Suttocide A.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Based upon this study, the no-observed effect level for maternal toxicity is 300 mg/kg/day and the no-observed effect level for developmental toxicity is 450 mg/kg/day. Suttocide A, Lot #PLI-40 did not exhibit selective toxicity toward the developing conceptus.
- Executive summary:
One hundred and eight female Sprague Dawley rats were mated for use in a study to determine the potential of Suttocide A, Lot #PLI-4D, to produce or alter the incidence of congenital malformations in offspring of pregnant female rats pretreated with the test article. The test article was administered orally by gavage, at doses of 150, 300 and 450 mg/kg/day from Day 6 through Day 15 of gestation. Two dams from the 150 mg/kg/day dose group died during the study. Each death was attributed to technical error and not the result of test article toxicity. All other dams survived the duration of the study. All dams in the high dose group exhibited either decreased activity, post-dose salivation or both. Post-dose salivation was also observed in females exposed to the mid-dose group. Although not statistically significant, the females in the 450 mg/kg/day dose group gained only 69% of control body weight (i.e. 31% reduction) during the Days 6 through 15 dosing interval. A significant decrease was also observed in the amount of feed consumed for the 450 mg/kg/day dose group during Days 6 through 9 and 9 through 12 of gestation. Therefore, maternal toxicity was observed in the 450 mg/kg/day dose group as evidence by suppressed body weight gain and reduced food consumption.
Based upon the number of gravid animals per group, there were no statistically significant differences in the total number of implantation sites, viable fetuses, non-viable fetuses, early resorptions, late resorptions, fetal sex distribution, fetal body weights, corpora lutea, the number and percentage of pre-implantation or post-implantation losses. There were no soft tissue malformations detected in the study but eight fetal skeletal malformations were present. Seven occured in one litter of the low dose and one occurred in one litter of the high dose group. However, each malformation was considered spontaneous. A variety of spontaneous developmental variations were also observed in the control and Suttocide A treated groups. There were no significant differences observed in the number of fetuses exhibiting these variations.
Based upon these findings the no-observed effect level for maternal toxicity is 300 mg/kg/day and the no-observed effect level for developmental toxicity is 450 mg/kg/day. Suttocide A, Lot #PLI-40 did not exhibit selective toxicity toward the developing conceptus.
