- The stability and homogeneity of the dietary admixtures was determined. The concentration of the test substance in the the final solution was quantified by HPLC using UV detection. The peak area response for the test substance in each calibration standard chromatogram was measured. Calibration curves were constructed by linear regression of calibration standard response versus calibration standard concentration. The area response of the peak observed at the characteristic retention time for the test substance in sample and procedural recovery chromatogram, was measured.

Results and discussion
Results of examinations
- Clinical signs:
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- See 6.2.1 of the report and Table 3
- Mortality:
- no mortality observed
- Description (incidence):
- See Section 6.1.2 of the report,
- Body weight and weight changes:
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- There were no treatment-related effects detected in body weight development for males treated with 50, 150 or 500 ppm. Females treated with 500 ppm showed a reduction in body weight gain during maturation. Although statistical significance was not achieved and a true dose related response was not evident, body weight gain during the first two weeks of gestation and during lactation was reduced when compared to controls. Reductions were evident for cumulative body weight gains between days 0 and 14 and days 0 and 20 of gestation and for body weight on day 4 of lactation and for body weight gain during lactation. Statistical significance was achieved for cumulative body weight gain between Days 0 and 14 of gestation, body weight gain during lactation and body weight on day 4 of lactation.
Occasional statistically significant differences in body weight gain for all treated males relative to control did not show a true dose related response and in the absence of an overall effect on body weight gain were considered to reflect normal biological variation and were unrelated to treatment. Females treated with 150 and 50 ppm showed a reduction in body weight gain during maturation. Statistical significance was not achieved and a true dose related response was not evident. In the absence of a continued effect during gestation or lactation, the intergroup differences were considered to reflect normal biological variation.

Verification of test diets:
3.1 Method validation:
The analytical procedure was successfully validated for the substance in diet with respect to the specificity of chromatographic analysis, the linearity of detector response, method accuracy and precision.
The specificity of the analytical method was demonstrated by the absence of a peak at the characteristic retention time for the substance in the control sample chromatogram.
The data was found to have a linear correlation within the calibration range of 2.108 to 10.540 ppm The R2 fit of the calibration curve to the ck ta was 0.9999 and was considered to be acceptable.
A mean recovery value of 104% (CV= 1.91%, n=5) was obtained for 5 ppm and 114% (CV= 10.3%, n=5) was obtained for 500 ppm.
The limit of quantification (LOQ) was determined as the lowest standard concentration used during the study which was 2.108 ppm.
3.2 Homogeneity and stability of dose admixtures
The homogeneity and stability of the substance in dietary admixtures was assessed with respect to the level of concentration at nominal concentration of 50 ppm and 500 ppm.
Homogeneity was confirmed at the initial stability time point. The mean analysed concentration for the nine samples remained within 20% of the initial time zero value and the variation was less than 20%.
3.3 Concentration of dose formulations
The mean concentrations were within applied limits +/- 20% confirming accurate preparation.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- The NOAEL is 150 ppm (Equivalent to 9.1 and 10.5 mg/kg bw/day for males and females, respectively) for both sexes. The NOAEL is based on a reduced body weight gain, reduced initial food consumption, increased thyroid weights and reduced pituitary weights in females treated with 500 ppm and increased liver weights in animals of either sex treated with 500 ppm and in females treated with 150 ppm according to OECD TG 421.
- Executive summary:
The substance was administered by continuous dietary admixture to three groups, each of twelve male and twelve female Wistar Han™:RccHan™:WIST strain rats, for up 7 weeks, at dietary concentrations of 50, 150 and 500 ppm (equivalent to a mean achieved dosage of 3.0, 9.1 and 31.0 mg/kg bw/day for males and 3.4, 10.5 and 34.0 mg/kg bw/day for females). A control group of twelve males and twelve females was fed basal laboratory diet. This study was conducted according to OECD TG 421 and GLP principles. Clinical signs, body weight change, dietary intake and water consumption were monitored during the study. All animals were subjected to a gross necropsy examination and histopathological evaluation of reproductive tissues was performed.
Results showed that there were no unscheduled deaths. There were no clinical signs apparent for animals of either sex treated with 50, 150 or 500 ppm. There were no treatment-related effects detected in body weight development for males treated with 50, 150 or 500 ppm. Females treated with 500 ppm showed a reduction in body weight gain during maturation, the first two weeks of gestation and during lactation. No toxicologically significant effects were detected in females treated with 150 or 50 ppm. There were no treatment-related effects on food consumption or food conversion efficiency for males treated with 50, 150 or 500 ppm. Females treated with 500 ppm showed a slight reduction in food consumption and food conversion efficiency during the first week of treatment. Recovery was evident thereafter. No such effects were detected in females treated with 150 or 50 ppm. There were no treatment related effects on water consumption. Animals of either sex treated with 500 ppm and females treated with 150 ppm showed a statistically significant increase in liver weight both absolute and relative to terminal body weight. Females treated with 500 ppm also showed a statistically significant increase in thyroid/parathyroid weight and reduced pituitary weight both absolute and relative to terminal body weight. No such effects were detected in males treated with 150 ppm or in animals of either sex treated with 50 ppm. There were no microscopic abnormalities detected.
Based on these findings, the oral administration of the test substance to rats at dietary concentrations of 50, 150 and 500 ppm resulted in a reduced body weight gain, reduced initial food consumption, increased thyroid weights and reduced pituitary weights in females treated with 500 ppm and increased liver weights in animals of either sex treated with 500 ppm and in females treated with 150 ppm.
