- Purity: Not stated - Analytical verification of doses or concentrations:
- yes
- Remarks:
- The homogeneity and concentration of the test substance in the vehicle was assessed using an atomic absorption spectrometry method.
- Details on analytical verification of doses or concentrations:
- The homogeneity of the test substance in the vehicle was previously assessed analytically in a trial preparation at concentrations of 20 and 200 mg/mL. Homogeneity was also assessed at the lowest concentration in this study (10 mg/mL) by analysing samples taken from the formulation prepared for administration on Day 1 of treatment. Samples were taken from the three positions in the mix initially and following restirring after 2 hours storage at 21°C. The concentrations of the test substance were also determined for formulations prepared for administration on Day 1 and 21 of treatment. The method of analysis was an adaption of an atomic absorption spectrophotometry method (no further details given).
The results of the analysis showed acceptable homogeneity of the formulation initially and after resuspension. The achieved concentrations on days 1 and 21 of treatment were satisfactory except for Group 2 on day 1, which was slightly low (88% of intended concentration). The Group 1 control for day 21 was found to contain a minor interference, however, as the method of analysis is not compound specific this could have come from any silicon containing substance. - Duration of treatment / exposure:

- GROSS PATHOLOGY: Yes (see table 3)
HISTOPATHOLOGY: Yes (see table 3) - Statistics:
- For numerical data recorded in the FOB, the following statistical analysis was performed: Where 75% of the data had the same value, a frequency analysis was performed based on the Mantel trend test. Where this test was considered unsuitable, Fisher's exact test of control group versus each treated group was performed. Where less than 75% of the data had the same value, Bartlett's test to evaluate homogeneity of variances was performed. If the result of this was not significant at the 1% level, a parametric analysis was performed, otherwise, unless a stabilising transformation (e.g. Log transformation) could be applied, a non-parametric analysis was performed. The parametric analysis consisted of a one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). If significant, the ANOVA was followed by Williams' test for trend with increasing dose. Where Williams' test was considered unsuitable, multiple comparisons based on the t-test were performed. The non-parametric analysis performed was a Kruskal-Wallis one-way analysis of ranks. If significant, this was followed by Shirley's test for trend with increasing dose. Where Shirley's test was considered unsuitable, the treatment group mean ranks were compared against the control group, followed by a set of multiple comparisons. All of these comparisons were based on the Wilcoxon rank-sum test.
The significance of inter-group differences in haematology and blood chemistry was assessed by Student's t-test using a pooled error variance. For organ weights and body weight changes, homogeneity of variance was tested using Bartlett's test. Whenever this was found to be statistically significant a Brehrens-Fisher test was used to perform pairwise comparison, otherwise a Dunnett's test was used. Intergroup differences in macroscopic pathology and histopathology were assessed using Fisher's Exact test.
Results and discussion
Results of examinations
- Clinical signs:
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- Salivation was frequently observed shortly after dosing for the majority of the animals that received 250 or 750 mg/kg bw/day and on one occasion (day 20) for one female that received 50 mg/kg bw/day. Salivation had ceased by 1-2 hours after dosing. There were no other signs related to treatment.
- Mortality:
- no mortality observed
- Description (incidence):
- There were no deaths.
- Body weight and weight changes:
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- Overall body weight gains for males that received the highest dose were slightly low when compared with those of the controls (91% of the control values). There was no similar effect for females at this dose. Overall body weight gains for females that received 50 or 250 mg/kg bw/day were low compared with the controls (76 and 87% of control values, respectively). However, in the absence of any dose relationship or effect at the highest dose, these differences were no considered to be related to treatment.
- Food consumption and compound intake (if feeding study):
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- Food consumption for males that received the highest dose was marginally lower than that of the controls (95% of the control values). There was no similar effect for the females that received this dose. Food consumption for females that received 50 or 250 mg/kg bw/day was slightly lower than that of the controls (87 and 96% of the control values). However, in the absence of a dose-response or effect in the high dose group, the difference was not considered to be related to treatment.
- Food efficiency:
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- No difference between the treated or control groups.
- Water consumption and compound intake (if drinking water study):
- not examined
- Ophthalmological findings:
- not examined
- Haematological findings:
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- Activated partial thromboplastin time was shorter for males that received 750 mg/kg bw/day. This single change was observed only in one sex and is not considered as treatment related. Other inter-group differences that attained statistical significance were minor and within normal background ranges at the laboratory and therefore, not considered to be related to treatment. The cellularity and composition of the bone marrow was not affected by treatment.
- Clinical biochemistry findings:
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- There were no treatment-related effects.
- Urinalysis findings:
- not examined
- Behaviour (functional findings):
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- In the hand observations: Compared with controls, males and females that received 750 mg/kg bw/day showed an increased incidence of piloerection during weeks 3 and 4 of treatment. Three females that received the highest dose showed coat staining during week 4 of treatment. However, this observation occurred in all treatment groups including the controls throughout the study and was considered to be of no toxicological significance.
Arena observations: A few treated animals showed a flattened gait during every week of treatment. This observation was also recorded in control females and in both sexes before treatment started, and therefore, was not considered to be related to treatment. Females that received the highest dose showed group mean arena activity and rearing scores slightly by consistently lower than those of the controls during all four weeks of treatment. These decreased mean scores were generally due to two or three individuals showing atypically low levels of activity, often preventing gait assessment due to insufficient locomotion, rather than a general decrease in activity.
There were no treatment-related effects on manipulation observations.
Animals of the high dose group showed lower forelimb grip strength values during week 4 of treatment compared with controls, although hind limb values were unaffected. However, the forelimb grip strength of these animals was also lower than controls before the start of treatment and all group means were within the background control range. Therefore, the difference was not attributed to treatment.
Motor activity scores within week 4 of treatment showed considerable intra- and inter- group variation, with high beam (rearing activity) scores for females in all treated groups tending to be lower than those of controls during the first half of the 60-minute recording period. However, no indication of a dose-related trend was observed. Additionally, low beam (general locomotor activity) scores were unaffected and high and low beam scores for males were similar in all groups. - Organ weight findings including organ / body weight ratios:
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- There were no treatment-related effects.
- Gross pathological findings:
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- A thickened stomach wall was observed in one high dose female and one mid dose male. There was also a dark area in the glandular mucosa of the stomach in one high dose male, and a distended jejunum and abnormal contents in the gastrointestinal tract for one high dose male.
- Histopathological findings: non-neoplastic:
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- The only change considered to be related to treatment was acute inflammation in the glandular region of the stomach. This was observed in three males and two females that received the highest dose and in a single male that received 250 mg/kg bw/day. The change was considered likely to depend on a slight irritant effect of the test substance that resulted in the migration of acute inflammatory cells, predominantly neutrophils, to the affected area. No other inflammatory or degenerative changes or evidence of local cytotoxicity were observed.
There was a slight increase in the incidence of cortico-medullary mineralisation in the kidneys of females that received the highest dose, but this change is commonly observed in female rats and the difference was considered to be due to sampling variation. - Histopathological findings: neoplastic:
- not examined
