Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- NOAEL was considred to be 500mg/kg bw/day for F0, F1 and F2 generation. When male and female Charles River CD rats were treated with test material orally.
- Executive summary:
Three generation reproductive study of test material was performed on male and female Charles River CD rats. Animals were housed individually and fed the test diet ad libitum. The test material mixed with food in dose concentration 0, 5, 50, 150 or 500 mg/kg bw/day and 10 males and 20 females/group/generation were used .Pre-Mating Exposure / Males and Females were 60 days. Clinical observations were recorded twice daily with at least 5 hours between observations. Detailed physical examinations and palpation for masses were performed weekly. Body weights and food consumption were determined weekly for the first fourteen weeks, bi-weekly for the next 12 weeks and every 4 weeks thereafter until the end of the study. The intake of the test substance was determined from body weight, food consumption and dietary concentration. Haematology tests, including haemoglobin, haematocrit, erythrocyte and total and differential leukocyte counts, and erythrocyte morphology, were conducted on ten randomly selected animals at months 3, 6, 12, 18 and 24 of the study. Necropsies were conducted on all animals dying prior to study termination, killed in a moribund condition or killed on schedule. Histological examinations were conducted on all animals from both control groups, the highest dose group (2.0 or 5.0%) from each study and also on 10 rats randomly selected from each group for an interim sacrifice at 12 months. Histology was also performed on any animal with gross lesions or masses. Also tissues examined included adrenal glands, aorta, blood smear, brain, cecum, colon, duodenum, epididymus or uterus, esophagus, eyes, femur including marrow, tissue masses, gallbladder, heart, ileum, jejunum, duodenum, kidneys, liver, lungs and bronchi, mammary gland, nerves (sciatic), ovaries, lymph nodes, pancreas, parathyroids, pituitary gland, prostrate, rectum, skin, spleen, seminal vesicles, skeletal muscle, testes with epididymides, stomach, thymus, thyroid gland including parathyroid, trachea, urinary bladder, uterus.
At the end of study, no treatment-related effects were reported on survival. No treatment-related changes were reported at gross necropsy. Histological evaluation revealed a variety of lesions, including neoplasms, present at similar incidences in control and treated animals. The authors considered the lesions to be spontaneous and not related to administration of the test material. There were no compound related effects on fertility, gestation, pup viability or lactation indices, on reproductive organs of females, or on organ weights among parents and offspring. There were no compound related lesions in any tissue examined histologically, including kidneys and adrenal glands from parental rats or from offspring. There was no toxicity to either the F1 or F2 generation. Food consumption was similar for control and treated animals at the lower dietary levels, but was slightly higher in the high-dose study, although not statistically significant. Haematological, clinical chemistry and urinalysis parameters did not differ significantly from the controls. Necropsies at one year did not reveal any treatment-related gross or microscopic changes. Hence NOAEL was considered to be 500mg/kg bw/day for F0, F1 and F2 generation. When male and female Charles River CD rats were treated with test material orally.
