PARAMETERS EXAMINED
The following parameters were examined in F1 offspring:
Offspring survival, body weight (from weaning until sacrifice), clinical signs (at least once daily), anogenital distance (AGD), pup weight on the day of AGD, development through lactation, weaning, and reproductive development until adulthood
For each retained F1 male offspring, observations for cleavage of the balanoprepreputial (preputial separation, PPS) began at 35 days of age and continued until acquisition of PPS. Andrologic assessments were also performed on the F1 retained males at necropsy. - Postmortem examinations (parental animals):
- All F0 parental animals and retained F1 adults were necropsied with complete histologic evaluation of 5 selected F0 males and females in the 0 and 40 mg/kg/day groups.
Hematology, clinical biochemistry and urinalysis (males only) were performed at necropsy for 5 randomly selected parental F0 males and females per dose group. - Postmortem examinations (offspring):
- Because of extreme toxicity in the F1 offspring at 40 mg/kg/day, no F1 offspring were retained after weaning. Therefore, tissues from 5 F1 males and females per group at 0 and 15 mg/kg/day were examined histopathologically
Histopathology was performed on F1 males and females (5/sex/group) at 0 and 15 mg/kg/day. In addition, hematology, clinical biochemistry and urinalysis (males only) were performed at necropsy for 5 randomly selected F1 adult males and females per dose group.
- Assessments of neurologic, immunologic and reproductive structures and functions
- Non-selected F1 weanlings were necropsied with complete histologic evaluation of 5 selected F0 males and females in the 0 and 40 mg/kg/day groups.
- The culled F1 pups were weighed, euthanized, and necropsied with complete external and visceral examinations. - Reproductive indices:
- reproductive performance (such as gonadal function, mating behavior, conception, development of the conceptus, parturition)
- Offspring viability indices:
- Survival indices (at least weekly during weaning = post natal day 21)

The NOAELs for F1 offspring toxicity during lactation were 15 mg/kg/day for males and females. The F1 male and female systemic NOAEL was also 15 mg/kg/day.
- Executive summary:
This study evaluated the potential of the test item administered by oral gavage one daily, 7 days per week in CD rats, to cause toxic characteristics from repeated dosing, encompassing 2-week prebreed, mating (for both sexes), gestation and lactation (for F0 females) for F0 parents and direct dosing to F1 offspring from weaning to scheduled sacrifice at least 7 weeks post weaning. This study also evaluated the potential of the test substance to cause possible effects on parental male and female reproductive performance (such as gonadal function, mating behavior, conception, development of the conceptus, parturition) and offspring survival, growth, development through lactation, weaning, and through reproductive development until adulthood. This protocol exceeded the OECD 422 study design by following the F1 offspring to adulthood, with continued exposure and assessments of neurologic, immunologic and reproductive structures and functions. The protocol also assessed F0 recovery males, 28-day females and 28day recovery females.
Male and female CD (SD) F0 rats were administered orally by gavage at 0, 5, 15 and 40 mg/kg/day at a dose volume of 5 ml/kg/day in Mazola® corn oil, 10 animals/sex/dose for 2 weeks of prebreed exposure (males and females) , 2 weeks of mating (males and females), and 3 weeks of gestation and lactation each (F0 females) for F0 parents, and direct dosing of selected F1 offspring from weaning through scheduled sacrifice , at least 7 weeks post weaning. Five additional F0 males per group from the control and 40 mg/kg/day groups were designated as recovery animals and held without dosing for 2 weeks after the F0 male dosing period was completed, to evaluate recovery from any possible treatment-related effects identified in the high-dose group. Additional 28-day females (5/group at 0 and 40 mg/kg/day) and 28-day recovery females (5/group at 0 and 40 mg/kg/day) were also similarly assessed. Body weights and feed consumption for the F0 males and females were recorded weekly during the prebreed period, for F0 females during gestation and lactation, and for selected F1 offspring from weaning through scheduled sacrifice. Clinical signs were recorded at least once daily for F0 males and females and F1 offspring. Functional Observational Battery (FOB) including home cage observations, handling observations, was performed on all initial animals once during quarantine and at least once per week for F0 animals during prebreed, mating (both sexes) , gestation and lactation (F0 females) treatment periods and on 5 F1 females and 5 F1 males once midway during the post wean exposure period. After the 2-week prebreed exposure period, animals were randomly mated within treatment groups for a 2-week mating period to produce the F1 generation, with continuing exposure. Five each of F0 males and females per dose group were evaluated for auditory function, motor activity, and assessment of grip strength prior to necropsy. Grip strength was also assessed for the 5 F1 males and F1females per group selected for FOB during the last week of the post weaning exposure period.
All F0 parental animals, non-selected F1 weanlings and retained F1 adults were necropsied with complete histologic evaluation of 5 selected F0 males and females in the 0 and 40 mg/kg/day groups. Because of extreme toxicity in the F1 offspring at 40 mg/kg/day, no F1 offspring were retained after weaning. Therefore, tissues from 5 F1 males and females per group at 0 and 15 mg/kg/day were examined histopathologically.
On the day of birth (postnatal day [pnd] 0), anogenital distance was measured and body weights recorded for all live F1 pups in all litters. F1 litters were culled on pnd 4 to yield as nearly as possible, 5 males and 5 females per litter. The culled F1 pups were weighed, euthanized, and necropsied with complete external and visceral examinations. For the remaining F1 pups, survival indices were calculated at least weekly through weaning (pnd 21). At weaning, at least 1 female and 1 male (whenever possible) from each F1 litter at 0, 5 and 15 mg/kg/day were randomly selected for a total of 10/sex/group to continue treatment for approximately 7 more weeks, with dosing for F1 selected pups begun on pnd 22 until all pups were at least 70 days of age. F1 post weaning observations and procedures for each retained F1 female included examination for vaginal patency (VP, from pnd 22 until acquisition of vaginal opening) and determination of estrous cyclicity and normality evaluated by vaginal smears taken daily the last 3 weeks of the post wean exposure period prior to scheduled sacrifice. For each retained F1 male offspring, observations for cleavage of the balanoprepreputial (preputial separation, PPS) began at 35 days of age and continued until acquisition of PPS. Andrologic assessments were also performed on the F1 retained males at necropsy. Histopathology was performed on F1 males and females (5/sex/group) at 0 and 15 mg/kg/day. In addition, hematology, clinical biochemistry and urinalysis (males only) were performed at necropsy for 5 randomly selected parental F0 males and females and for F1 adult males and females per dose group.
Results
The test substance administered by gavage once daily at 0, 5, 15 and 40 mg/kg/day to parental F0 CD (SD) rats, 10/sex/group, through prebreed, mating and gestation and lactation and direct dosing to the F1 offspring (10/sex/group) from weaning to scheduled sacrifice, resulted in adult F0 parental toxicity at 40 mg/kg/day, increasing over time (reduced body weights, ataxia, and foot splay). Reproductive toxicity was not present in F0 males or females. There was profound F1 offspring toxicity observed postnatally during lactation at 40 mg/kg/day (so the group was terminated on pnd 21) , including increased mortality, especially for pnd 0-4 and reduced pup body weights/litter starting on pnd 7-21. Acquisition of puberty in F1 males and females was unaffected. Twenty eight-day males (same as F0) and females and 28 day recovery males and females exhibited the same progressive systemic toxicity at 40 mg/kg/day as in the F0 parental animals, although the effects were less severe, most likely due to the shorter dosing duration.
The F0 male and female systemic no observable adverse effect (NOAEL) was 15 mg/kg/day. The NOAELs for F0 reproductive toxicity were at or above 40 mg/kg/day for males and females. The NOAELs for F1 offspring toxicity during lactation were 15 mg/kg/day for males and females. The F1 male and female systemic NOAEL was also 15 mg/kg/day.

Body weights and feed consumption for the F0 males and females were recorded weekly during the prebreed period, for F0 females during gestation and lactation, and for selected F1 offspring from weaning through scheduled sacrifice. Clinical signs were recorded at least once daily for F0 males and females and F1 offspring. Functional Observational Battery (FOB) including home cage observations, handling observations, was performed on all initial animals once during quarantine and at least once per week for F0 animals during prebreed, mating (both sexes) , gestation and lactation (F0 females) treatment periods and on 5 F1 females and 5 F1 males once midway during the post wean exposure period.
