VEHICLE
- Concentration in vehicle: 0.1, 0.5, 2.5 mg/mL
- Amount of vehicle (if gavage): 10mL/kg bw
- Analytical verification of doses or concentrations:
- yes
- Details on analytical verification of doses or concentrations:
- A UV-spectrometric method for quantifying the test item in liquid formulations was developed. For analytical investigations, representative samples from the test item formulation covering the test item concentration range used in the study, were taken.
These samples were diluted with a mixture of methanol and 0.4 % aqueous perchloric acid (4:1) and subsequently quantified by a spectrometric method with UV-detection; wave length: 262 nm. Standard solutions of the authentic test item were used for calibration. Linearity, Precision, Specificity and Accuracy of the analytical method were evaluated apart from this GLP-study and fulfil the predefined acceptance criteria. Additional system suitability tests in terms of specificity, precision and linearity indicated, that qualified analytical procedures were followed during the study.
Analysis of blank samples (0 mg/ml) revealed no measurable traces of test item.
In order to generate and process the analytical data a commercial available computerised system was used.

- Details on study design:
- - Dose selection rationale: The dose levels used in this study were based on the results of a pilot study. During this study Wistar rats (2 males and 2 females per dose group) received the test substance in doses of 0, 5, 25,150 mg/kg for a period of two weeks. Animals of the high dose group died or had to be sacrificed in moribund condition. These animals showed clinical findings like piloerection, apathy, laboured breathing. No clinical findings were recorded for the animals of the other groups.
At 5 mg/kg body weight development was comparable to that of the control groups.
At 25 mg/kg body weight development was affected by the treatment (mainly during the first part of the study). At necropsy at the end of the study the stomach of males and females at 25 mg/kg was discolored and appeared thickened. Based on these results the following dose scheme was used for the present study (in agreement with the sponsor representative): 0,1, 5, 25 mg/kg.
Food intake at 25 mg/kg was lower in males and females during the first week.
- Rationale for animal assignment (if not random): Before the start of the study, male and female animals were assigned to the dose
groups. For that purpose they were placed singly at their arrival in cages in the order they were taken out of the boxes. Thereafter, the animal weights were determined and recorded as well as the position of the animal on the shelf. Animals with extremely high or low body weights as well as surplus animals were removed. Based on evenly distributed chance numbers especially generated for this study, the animals were allocated to their final cage number specified by the random list (whereby the first random number on the list gave the actual position of the animal to be moved into cage No. 1, and so on). The cages were then placed one after the other in shelves in the order of increasing numbers. - Observations and examinations performed and frequency:

IMMUNOLOGY: No - Sacrifice and pathology:
- GROSS PATHOLOGY: Yes
HISTOPATHOLOGY: Yes - Clinical signs:
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- Clinical observations of the animals revealed no treatment-related findings at 1 or 5 mg/kg. At 25 mg/kg 3 males and 2 females showed increased salivation.
Furthermore, piloerection, emaciation, sunken flanks, poor general condition, reduced motility, hunched back and breathing sounds were observed for the male (No. 16) of this dose group, which had to be sacrificed in moribund condition. Tremor was observed once in the 25 mg/kg male No. 18. - Mortality:
- mortality observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence):
- Survival was not affected by the treatment up to 25 mg/kg in males and females.
Male No. 16 (25 mg/kg group) had to be sacrificed on day 21 of the study due to its moribund condition. Histopathology revealed that the lung showed granulocytic infiltration and foreign body granuloma formation. In the wall of the esophagus severe inflammation and necroses accompanied by acanthosis of the epithelium was observed. As these findings are indicative of gavage error the death of this animals is not considered to be test substance-related. - Body weight and weight changes:
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- Body weight development was not retarded by the treatment with the test substance up to 5 mg/kg. At 25 mg/kg mean body weights of males were (on most days statistically) significantly lower compared to the control group. The differences reached up to 22% and were 7% at the end of the study. Although the differences in body weights between the 25 mg/kg female group and the control group were not statistically significant it can be seen, that the body weight development was retarded also in this group. The difference to control reached up to 9% and were 8% at the end of the study. The transient decrease in body weights on day 23 in male and female groups was caused by the urinary collection period during which animals received no food.
- Food consumption and compound intake (if feeding study):
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- At 25 mg/kg the food intake per animal was slightly lower compared to that of the
control group. Related to the body weight it was comparable to that of the control
group. - Ophthalmological findings:
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- These examinations gave no evidence for treatment-related effects on the eyes.
- Haematological findings:
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- The hematological investigations resulted in a few values, which were statistically significantly different to control. However, these differences were not dose related and/or the difference to the respective control value was slight. A toxicological relevance is therefore not assumed. The hematological investigations gave no indication of a test substance related effect on blood coagulation up to 25 mg/kg.
Differential blood count revealed an increase in the number of neutrophils at 25
mg/kg in males and females. - Clinical biochemistry findings:
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- Clinical laboratory tests [determination of enzyme activities, concentrations of substrates and electrolytes in peripheral blood revealed in males a slight decrease in concentrations of protein and albumin at 25 mg/kg. The significantly decreased creatinine (25 mg/kg) and glucose (all dose groups) concentrations in females were not considered to be of toxicological relevance as the differences were relatively slight, no individual value did exceed the -2s range of historical control values, a strict dose dependence was absent (glucose) and correlating findings (e.g. histopathological findings) were not observed.
- Urinalysis findings:
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- Quantitative analyses of excreted volume, density, protein and creatinine showed that the protein excretion and the protein/creatinine quotient were slightly decreased at 25 mg/kg in males. The semi-quantitatively determined parameters (pH, blood, bilirubin, glucose, protein, ketone bodies and urobilinogen) were not relevantly changed by the treatment. The microscopy of sediment produced no remarkable findings.
- Behaviour (functional findings):
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- In summary, the investigations in the home cage, during handling and in the open
field as well as the determination of grip strength and landing foot splay showed no relevant signs or symptoms indicating evidence for a neurotoxic potential in rats exposed to the test substance. The activity determination over the entire 60 minute observation period did not reveal a relevant effect on motor (MA) and locomotor activity (LMA).
The results of the 10-minute intervals indicate that treated and control groups
reacted in a similar way and that there were no relevant differences in the first 10-minute intervals, which are regarded as best indicator of increases or decreases in activity before the animals habituate to a minimal level of activity. - Organ weight findings including organ / body weight ratios:
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- Compared to the respective control group relative weights of livers at 25 mg/kg were 14% higher in males and 16% in females.
In 25 mg/kg females relative weights of hearts were significantly increased. The difference to control was 21%. - Gross pathological findings:
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- Gross findings related to the treatment were observed in the forestomach in male and female rats at 25 mg/kg. These were white coverings of the forestomach mucosa in four males and five females of the high dose group.
Furthermore, prostate and seminal vesicle were diminished in size in two high dose males. No further findings were observed which were regarded to be related to the treatment with the test substance. - Histopathological findings: non-neoplastic:
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- At histopathology, squamous cell hyperplasia with hyperkeratosis in the forestomach was observed with incidences of 0/0/5/4 in males and 0/1/5/5 in
females. The severity score increased with the dose. At 25 mg/kg, hyperplasia and hyperkeratosis were accompanied by ulceration of the forestomach epithelium and chronic inflammation with giant cells of the underlying submucosa. These lesions were scored as grade 2 or 3 (slight to moderate).
Occasionally foreign bodies namely hair fragments were detectable within the
inflammatory lesions. The number of adipocytes was reduced in the femoral (males and females) and sternal (only females) bone marrow at 25 mg/kg. Concomitantly, granulopoiesis appeared to be increased in both femoral and sternal bone marrow in rats of either sex dosed at 25 mg/kg.
Corresponding to the reduced size of accessory sex glands seen in individual males at 25 mg/kg, prostate and seminal vesicles/coagulating glands were atrophic in males of this group. Testes and epididymides revealed no changes influenced by the treatment.
A variety of spontaneous changes was noted in control and treated animals with no indication of an effect of treatment. The spectrum of changes is mainly consistent with changes commonly encountered in laboratory rats of this age and strain. - Key result

- Conclusions:
- Under the conditions described the systemic no-observed-adverse-effect level (NOAEL) was 5 mg/kg body weight for males and females.
With respect to the findings resulting from the local irritative effects on the forestomach mucosa a NOAEL could not be established in females. The changes in
the forestomach in a single female at 1 mg/kg is considered as a borderline case. In males the NOAEL for local toxicity was 1 mg/kg. - Executive summary:
In a subacute toxicity study according to OECD test guideline 407 4,6-dichlor-5-fluorpyrimidine (100 % a.i.)] was administered to 5 Wistar rats/sex/dose in demineralized water containing 2 % v/v Cremophor EL at dose levels of 0, 1, 5, 25 mg/kg bw/day.
At the highest dose of 25 mg/kg bw clinical signs. 3 males and 2 females showed increased salivation. At 25 mg/kg mean body weights of males were (on most days statistically) significantly lower compared to the control group. The differences reached up to 22% and were 7% at the end of the study. The differences in body weights between the 25 mg/kg female group and the control group were not statistically significant but the body weight development was retarded also in this group. The difference to control reached up to 9% and were 8% at the end of the study. Compared to the respective control group relative weights of livers at 25 mg/kg were 14% higher in males and 16% in females. In 25 mg/kg females relative weights of hearts were significantly increased. At histopathology, squamous cell hyperplasia with hyperkeratosis in the forestomach was observed with incidences of 0/0/5/4 in males and 0/1/5/5 in females. The severity score increased with the dose. The difference to control was 21%. At 25 mg/kg, hyperplasia and hyperkeratosis were accompanied by ulceration of the forestomach epithelium and chronic inflammation with giant cells of the underlying submucosa. These lesions were scored as grade 2 or 3 (slight to moderate).
Occasionally foreign bodies namely hair fragments were detectable within the inflammatory lesions. The number of adipocytes was reduced in the femoral (males and females) and sternal (only females) bone marrow at 25 mg/kg. Concomitantly, granulopoiesis appeared to be increased in both femoral and sternal bone marrow in rats of either sex dosed at 25 mg/kg. Based on these results the systemic NOAEL is 5 mg/kg bw for both males and females. With respect to the findings resulting from the local irritative effects on the forestomach mucosa a NOAEL could not be established in females. The changes in the forestomach in a single female at 1 mg/kg is considered as a borderline case. In males the NOAEL for local toxicity was 1 mg/kg.
This subacute toxicity study in the rat is acceptable and satisfies the guideline requirement for a subacute oral study in rats.

- Interpretation of results:
- Category 1A (indication of significant skin sensitising potential) based on GHS criteria
- Conclusions:
- After the intradermal induction the animals in the test item group showed strong effects up to encrustation at the injection sites of the first induction.
The challenge with the 1% test item formulation led to skin effects (grade 1-3) in 20
of 20 animals (100%) in the test item group and no skin effects were seen in the
control group animals. In summary, by comparing the results in the treatment group and in the control group under the conditions of the maximization test and with respect to the evaluation criteria the test item therefore exhibits a skin sensitization potential. - Executive summary:
In a dermal sensitization study according to OECD test guideline 406 (1992) with 4,6-dichlor-5-fluorpyrimidine (100 % a.i).] in polyethylene glycol, young adult Hartley guinea pigs(20/treatment group) were tested using the method of Magnusson and Kligman. After the intradermal induction the animals in the test item group showed strong effects up to encrustation at the injection sites of the first induction. The challenge with the 1% test item formulation led to skin effects (grade 1-3) in 20 of 20 animals (100%) in the test item group and no skin effects were seen in the control group animals.
Based on the results 4,6-dichlor-5-fluorpyrimidine is classified according to Regulation (EU) No. 1272/2008 (CLP) and the Globally Harmonized System for Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) as skin sensitizer Category 1A (May cause an allergic skin reaction).

In a primary dermal irritation study according to OECD guideline 404 (1992), young adult Himalayan rabbits (3/treatment) were dermally exposed to 0.5 mL/patch of 4,6-dichlor-5-fluorpyrimidine (100 % a.i.) for 4 hours to 6 cm² of shaved dorsal skin. Animals then were observed for 14 days. Irritation was scored as required by the test guideline.
Under the present test conditions all three animals showed an erythema (grade 1) 1 hour after patch removal.
All three animals showed an oedema (grade 2) 1 hour after patch removal, animal no. 2 (grade 1) in addition at the examination time-points 24 and 48 hours after patch removal.
Additionally, dark discolouration of skin of the area of application and a swelling on the left abdomen were noted in animal no. two 24 hours to 14 days after patch removal. Induration of skin was noted in animal no. two 72 hours to 7 days after patch removal. Furthermore, from 8 to 14 days after patch removal discolouration and induration of the area of application was noted while the skin around this area was red and warm.
Animal nos. 1 and 3 were found dead at the examination time point 24 hours after patch removal. In this study, 4,6-dichlor-5-fluorpyrimidine is extremely irritating to the skin based on the presented results. Based on these results the test item is classified according to Regulation (EU) No. 1272/2008 (CLP) and the Globally Harmonized System for Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) as corrosive Category 1 (Causes severe skin burns and eye damage).

160 mg/kg bw.:
skin: scars on the treatment area. - Interpretation of results:
- Category 3 based on GHS criteria
- Conclusions:
- Based on the present investigations, HEC 5725-DCF-Pyrimidine is to be regarded to have the following LD50 values:
LD50 rat, male : 365 mg/kg body weight (235-567 mg/kg)
rat, female : 304 mg/kg body weight (212-435 mg/kg)
So it is regarded as low toxic after dermal application. - Executive summary:
In an acute dermal toxicity study according to OECD test guideline 402 (1987), groups of young adult males and female Wistar rats (5/sex) were dermally exposed to 4,6-dichlor-5-fluorpyrimidine (100 % a.i) for 24 hours to 10 % of body surface area at doses of 160, 400, 1000 and 4000 mg/kg bw. Animals then were observed for 21 days.
Dermal LD50 Males =365 mg/kg bw
Females = 304 mg/kg bw
4,6-dichlor-5-fluorpyrimidine is of low Toxicity based on the LD50 value for female Wistar rats. Animals of both high dose groups (1000 and 4000 mg/kg bw) died within 2 days. In all dose groups clinical signs related to treatment were observed corresponding to the findings during necropsy.
Based on the results the substance needs to be classified according to Regulation (EU) 1272/2008 (CLP) and the Globally Harmonized System for Calssification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) as acute toxic via the dermal route Castegory 3 “Toxic in contact to skin”.

Results and discussion
Toxicokinetic / pharmacokinetic studies
- Details on absorption:
- Based on the provided data, the absorption of HEC 5725-DCF-Pyrimidine after oral administration is likely to be good after both oral and dermal administration. Dermal administration of 500 µL to the skin of three rabbits led to the death of two of the three animals within 24 hours, and in rats the dermal LD50 is approximately 300 mg/kg bw.
Repeated oral gavage administration led to decreased body weight at at 25 mg/kg bw/day in conjunction with local signs of irritation in the forestomach at 1, 5, and 25 mg/kg bw/day, although the majority of findings observed in the 28-day oral study may have been due simply to the local irritation observed in the stomach rather than to systemic toxicity of the test substance.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- The substance is considered to be absorbed equally oral and dermal based on the available data.
