Additional information
Key study, OECD 422
The objective of this study was to obtain information on the toxic potential of the test item (Leuco Sulphur Yellow 22, CAS 90268 -98 -7, source substance for read across to Olive BW) and on possible effects on reproduction and development when repeatedly administered orally (by gavage) to rats at doses of 100, 300 and 1000 mg/kg bw/day (corrected doses; corresponding to uncorrected doses of 110.46, 331.38 and 1104.61 mg/kg bw/day, respectively) compared to control animals according to OECD 422.
As a screening test, it was intended to provide initial information on the possible health hazards likely to arise from repeated exposure over a relatively limited period of time and on the possible effects on male and female reproductive performance such as gonadal function, mating behavior, conception, pregnancy, parturition as well as on development of the F1 offspring from conception to day 13 post-partum associated with administration of repeated maternal doses.
The substance was administered orally (by gavage) once daily at 0 (vehicle only), 100, 300 and 1000 mg/kg body weight (mg/kg bw/day) doses to four groups of Han:WIST rats consisting of 12 animals per sex per group in concentrations of 20, 60 and 200 mg/mL calculated by the active ingredient content and corresponding to a 5 mL/kg bw dosing volume. A group of vehicle (1 % methylcellulose) treated animals (n= 12/sex) served as a control.
The suitability of the chosen vehicle for the substance at the intended concentrations was analytically verified up front. The substance was stable in in the vehicle in concentrations of 1 mg/mL and 200 mg/mL at room temperature for 1 day and in a refrigerator (at 5 ± 3 °C) for 3 days. The concentration of the substance in the dosing formulations administered to the animals was checked two times during the study. The substance concentrations in the dosing formulations varied within the range of 94 % and 105 % in comparison to the nominal values) and confirming the proper preparation of the dosing formulations.
All animals of the parent (P) generation were dosed prior to mating (14 days) and throughout mating. In addition, males received the substance or vehicle after mating up to the day before the necropsy (altogether for 49 days). Females were additionally exposed through the gestation period and up to lactation days 13-18, i.e. up to the day before necropsy (altogether for 51-56 days). Observations included mortality, clinical signs, body weight, food consumption, mating, pregnancy and delivery process, as well as development of offspring. Estrous cycle was monitored by examining vaginal smears before the treatment for two weeks and for two weeks from the beginning of the treatment period (two weeks pre-mating period) and during the mating period until evidence of copulation. The dams were allowed to litter and rear their offspring up to day 13 post-partum. Litters were weighed and offspring were observed for possible abnormalities and were euthanized on post-natal day 13 or shortly thereafter.
Blood samples were collected for possible determination of serum levels of thyroid hormones (T4 – Thyroxine, free tetra-iodothyronine – and TSH – thyroid-stimulating hormone) from at least two pups per litter (where it was feasible) on post-natal day 4, from all dams and at least two pups per litter at termination on post-partum/ post-natal day 13 and from all parent male animals at termination.
All parental animals were subjected to gross pathology one day after the last treatment. The body weight, brain weight and weight of the testes and epididymides of adult male animals were determined. Thyroid gland was preserved from all adult males and females and one male and one female pup per litter for the intended subsequent histopathological examination. Histopathology examination was performed on ovaries, uterus, vagina, testes, epididymides, prostate and seminal vesicles with coagulating gland in the control and high dose groups (male or female). In addition, these organs were processed histologically in not delivered female and male cohabited with in the mid dose group. Five dams and their male mating partners were randomly selected from each group to examine further signs of toxicity such as functional observations, hematology, clinical chemistry, gross necropsy, organ weighing and full histopathology examination.
In addition, organs showing macroscopic findings were processed and examined histologically in animals of the low and mid dose groups based on the macroscopic findings at the necropsy.
There was no mortality noted during the course of study (all test groups). Clinical signs of systemic toxicity were not detected at any dose level, neither at the daily nor at the detailed weekly clinical observations or at the functional observations. The behavior and physical condition of the animals was not impaired at each dose level (100, 300 or 1000 mg/kg bw/day) during the entire treatment period. Substance (CAS 90268-98-7) related changes in body weight or body weight gain were not detected. The body weight development was not affected and it was comparable in the control and the substance treated groups. The mean daily food consumption was similar in male or female animals in control and at 100, 300 and 1000 mg/kg bw/day during the entire study (pre-mating and post-mating period for male animals; pre-mating, gestation and lactation periods for female animals). A substance influence on the estrous cycle was not found at any dose level. There were no significant differences between the control and the substance treated male or female animals in the examined parameters of reproductive performance or in the delivery parameters of dams. Hematological evaluation did not reveal adverse substance related changes in the examined parameters at all dose levels. There were no substance related adverse effects on the examined clinical chemistry parameters at 100, 300 or 1000 mg/kg bw/day. There were no substance related changes in the serum thyroid hormone (T4 and TSH) levels at any dose (parental male or 13-day offspring). Macroscopic findings related to the substance were not found in male and female animals at 100, 300 or 1000 mg/kg bw/day. There were no substance related changes in the weights (absolute and relative to body or brain weights) of brain, testes and epididymides of male animals at any dose level. The examined organ weights of animals selected for toxicity examinations were comparable in the control and 100, 300 and 1000 mg/kg bw/day groups at the end of the treatment period. Histopathological examinations of the selected organs (ovaries, uterus, vagina, testes, epididymides, prostate and seminal vesicles with coagulating gland) did not reveal any substance related changes at 1000 mg/kg bw/day. There were no pathologic changes in the examined organs or tissues of randomly selected male or female animals in the control or 1000 mg/kg bw/day groups.
No adverse effect on the mortality, clinical signs, body weight development or necropsy findings were detected in the offspring terminated as scheduled. The anogenital distance (male and female) or nipple retention (male) were not affected.
Under the conditions of the present study, the substance administered at 100, 300 or 1000 mg/kg bw/day (corrected doses; respectively to uncorrected doses of 110.46, 331.38 and 1104.61 mg/kg bw/day) by oral gavage did not cause signs of systemic toxicity and did not adversely influence the reproductive performance (gonad function, mating behavior, conception, parturition) in parental male and female Han:WIST rats. The development of the F1 offspring was not impaired from birth to post-natal day 13 at any dose level after repeated oral administration of dams.
Based on these observations the No Observed Adverse Effect Levels (NOAEL) were determined as follows:
NOAEL for systemic toxicity of male/female rats: 1000 mg/kg bw/day
NOAEL for reproductive performance of male/ female rats: 1000 mg/kg bw/day
NOAEL for F1 Offspring: 1000 mg/kg bw/day
Supporting study, OECD 422 dose range finder
A study was conducted to obtain first information on the toxic potential of the test item (Leuco Sulphur Yellow 22, CAS 90268 -98 -7, source substance for read across to Olive BW) in rats at three dose levels to allow a dose-setting for a Combined Repeated Dose Toxicity Study with the Reproduction/Developmental Toxicity Screening Test (main study according to TG OECD 422). Doses of 0 (vehicle only), 110.5, 331.4 and 1105.4 mg/kg bw day (actual dose received), corresponding to 0, 100, 300 and 1000 mg dye/kg bw/day, were orally administered (gavage) to four groups of Hsd.Han:Wistar rats consisting of five animals per group and sex at a dosing volume of 5 mL/kg. The test item was administered in concentrations of 20, 60 and 200 mg/mL by the active ingredient content (corrected concentrations; respectively to uncorrected concentrations of 22.09, 66.28 and 220.92 mg/mL). A group of vehicle (distilled water) treated animals (n= 5/sex) served as a control. Detailed clinical observations were performed daily after the treatment and before the necropsy. Body weights were recorded twice weekly. The food consumption was determined weekly to coincide with body weight measurements during the study. Clinical pathology (hematology, blood coagulation and clinical chemistry) and gross pathology examinations were conducted one day after the last treatment (on Day 14). Selected organs were weighed. As a result, no adverse effects were revealed. Therefore, as a conclusion, the test item did not cause adverse effects in male or female Hsd.Han: Wistar rats after the consecutive 14-day oral (by gavage) administration of 100, 300 or 1000 mg/kg bw/day. A NOAEL of 1000 mg/kg bw/d was determined.
