Details on maternal toxic effects:
CLINICAL OBSERVATIONS:
No adverse effects were observed. At Day 11 of gestation one female showed hair loss in the forelimbs and at Day 19 in the belly, flanks and hind limbs.
FOOD CONSUMPTION:
No adverse effects were observed. At the end of the study the food consumption was slightly higher in the treated group comparing with the control group.
BODY WEIGHT:
No effects were observed. The body weight of the treated animals was similar to control animals.
UTERUS:
All females gave birth to live fetuses except 1 dam in the 1000 mg/kg bw group. This dam had no fetus, and only 5 empty implantations were observed. The corporea lutea were quite small too and could not be accurately determined. The treated groups had corporea lutea, number of implantations and number of live fetuses similar to the control group. No adverse effects were observed.
POST-MORTEM EXAMINATIONS:
Two females of the treatment group showed moderate enlargement of the right kidney. No other changes were observed.
The heart, kidney, liver and spleen weight did not differ from those of the control group. - Dose descriptor:

- Embryotoxic / teratogenic effects:no effects
Details on embryotoxic / teratogenic effects:
FETUS OBSERVATIONS:
Fetus were normally developed. Body weight and body lengths were similar from those in the control group. In the 1000 mg/kg bw treatment group, the number of live fetuses weighing less than 3 g, was lower than in the control group. The sex ratio was balanced in both groups, predominating males.
INTRAUTERINE OBSERVATIONS:
Early intrauterine deaths were observed in both groups. The total number of deaths in the treated group was low and did not differ from the control group. Only one dead fetus was observed in the control groups.
PLACENTAL WEIGHT
Placental weight in live fetuses (including) macroscopic findings, were similar in both treatment and control groups.
MORPHOLOGICAL OBSERVATIONS:
No fetal malformations were observed. The body section and cross-section observations showed 5 fetuses with hematoma in the liver overlap. Although it was statistically significant, it was in accordance with historical control values. In three fetuses at 1000 mg/kg bw group, blood was found in the abdominal cavity. Nine fetus in the control group showed enlarged renal pelvis.
SKELET OBSERVATIONS:
The skeletons were about the same stage of development in both treatment and control groups, corresponding to the 21 day of pregnancy. The number of fetuses with weak ossification of head bones, sternebrae and metacarpal 5 was significantly higher than in the control group. However, it was in line with historical control values. One fetus showed week ossidification of metatarsal 5, phalanx III, ischium and the pubis. Besides these findings, 14. thoracic vertebra with a short or normal length, corrugated/thickened rib, short of fragmented 7. cervical rib and displaces sternebrae were observed in both treatment and control groups. All the effects were within the historical control values.
OBSERVATION OF DEAD FETUS IN UTERUS:
The dead fetus of the control group was retarded in development, which is in accordance with weaker ossification. An examination of the internal organs was not possible because of the small size. - Dose descriptor:

- Executive summary:
A pre-natal developmental toxicity test was performed with the analogue substance isobornyl acetate according to OECD Guideline 414. 20 female Wistar rats from were exposed by gavage to 0 (control) and 1000 mg/kg bw/day test item between Days 7 and 16 of gestation, in a limit test. On Day 21 of gestation, the animals were killed and both dams and fetus were examined. The investigations showed that the repeated oral exposure to the test item during the sensitive period of organogenesis, do not cause an impairment of the general health of dams, not disturbing the intrauterine development of fetus. The morphological examination of fetuses revealed no evidence for embryotoxic and teratogenic effects of the substance. Therefore, the NOEL of isobornyl acetate for maternal, ebryo/fetal toxicity and teratogenicity was determined to be 1000 mg/kg bw/day in rats. Based on these results, the read-across approach was applied and the NOEL of dextro alpha fenchyl acetate was determined to be 1000 mg/kg bw/day for maternal and developmental toxicity in rats.

Additional information
Key study: Read-across approach from experimental data on the analogue substance isobornyl acetate:
A pre-natal developmental toxicity test was performed with the analogue substance isobornyl acetate according to OECD Guideline 414. 20 female Wistar rats from were exposed by gavage to 0 (control) and 1000 mg/kg bw/day test item between Days 7 and 16 of gestation, in a limit test. On Day 21 of gestation, the animals were killed and both dams and fetus were examined. No substance related effects were observed on dams. The morphological examination of fetuses revealed no evidence of embryotoxic and teratogenic effects related to the test item. The NOEL of isobornyl acetate for maternal, ebryo/fetal toxicity and teratogenicity was determined to be 1000 mg/kg bw/day in rats. Based on these results, the read-across approach was applied and the NOEL of dextro alpha fenchyl acetate was determined to be 1000 mg/kg bw/day for maternal and developmental toxicity in rats.
