Results and discussion
Results: maternal animals
General toxicity (maternal animals)
- Clinical signs:
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- - occasional salivation: all high-dose group (1000 mg/kg bw/d) females and 3/25 of the middose group (300 mg/kg bw/d) females
- salivation occurred only shortly, i.e. within 0-2h, after treatment and was observed during GD 8-19 (test group 3) or only on GD 19 (test group 2)
The occasional salivation was most probably caused by the bad taste or smell of the test substance and was not assessed as sign of systemic toxicity.
- no clinical signs or changes of general behavior (attributed to the test substance), were detected in any female at dose levels of 100, 300 or 1000 mg/kg bw/d during the entire study period - Mortality:
- no mortality observed
- Description (incidence):
- No test substance-related or spontaneous mortalities in any females of all test groups.
- Body weight and weight changes:
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- - mean body weights, average body weight gain of all dams (all dose groups) generally comparable to the concurrent control group throughout the entire study period
- indicental statistically significantly increased body weight gain value in test group 3 during GD 1-3
- corrected body weight gain of all test groups revealed no difference of any biological relevance; mean carcass weights of all test groups remained unaffected - Food consumption and compound intake (if feeding study):

- Dead fetuses:
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- - no test substance-related and/or biologically relevant differences between the different test groups for the number of viable fetuses

Results (fetuses)
- Fetal body weight changes:
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- - mean fetal weights of all test groups were not influenced by the test substance
- no biologically relevant differences in comparison to the control group - Changes in sex ratio:
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- - sex distribution of the fetuses in all test group animals was comparable to the control fetuses
- External malformations:
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- - no external malformations recorded
- one external variation in one single fetus was recorded in the highest test group: limb hyperflexion; details given in table 1
- incidence not statistically significantly different from control and the finding was within the range of the historical control data; not considered as treatment-related and adverse - Skeletal malformations:
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- - malformations noted in two fetuses, in test groups 1 and 3 (100 and 1000 mg/kg bw/d), individual details given in table 3 and total skeletal malformations given in table 4
- one female fetus of the high-dose group had multiple skeletal malformations concerning the skull, the vertebral column and ribs
- mean value of affected fetuses per litter was within the historical control range
- ‘fused mandible’ in one further individual fetus in the high-dose group; found in the historical control data in comparable incidences
- isolated findings not assessed as treatment-related and adverse
The total incidences of skeletal malformations in treated animals did not differ significantly from the control group and were comparable to the historical control data.
- skeletal variations of different bone structures were observed in all dose groups, with or without effects on corresponding cartilages, details for total fetal skeletal variations are given in table 5 and an overview of statistically significantly increased variations are given in table 6
- skeletal variations were related to several parts of fetal skeletons and appeared without a relation to dose
- overall incidences of skeletal variations were comparable to the historical control data
- ‘incomplete ossification of skull’, ‘incomplete ossification of nasal’ and ‘supernumerary rib (14th); cartilage present’: not related to dose and the mean values were clearly inside the historical control ranges
- findings were not assessed as treatment related
- ‘supernumerary rib (14th); cartilage not present’: statistically significantly increased in test group 3 (affected fetuses/litter: 65.6%)
- value was marginally outside of the range of the historical control data
The rudimentary rib finding is very frequent in this rat strain and is not adverse per se. Since the finding was quite near the range of the historical control data, it was not assessed as treatment-related and adverse. - Visceral malformations:
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- - no soft tissue malformations recorded
- four soft tissue variations were detected: short innominate in test groups 0 and 2, malpositioned subclavian origin in test group 1, dilated renal pelvis and dilated ureter in all test groups; details given in table 2
- dilated renal pelvis: mean values for affected fetuses per litter were outside the historical control range in the concurrent control and in the high-dose group alike
- values did, however, not significantly differ from each other; the finding was neither assessed as treatment-related nor as adverse
- dilated ureter: within the historical control range for all test groups
Overall, the incidences of all these variations were neither statistically significantly nor dosedependently increased in the treated groups. - Details on embryotoxic / teratogenic effects:
- External and soft tissue malformations did not occur in any of the fetuses in this study. There were noted skeletal malformations in test groups 1 and 3 (100 and 1000 mg/kg bw/d).
One fetus of test group 3 carried multiple skeletal malformations (such as misshapen basisphenoid, cervical hemivertebra, thoracic hemivertebra with detached rib, misshapen thoracic vertebrae). Another fetus of test group 3 showed a fused mandible. Further malformations, i.e. absent lumbar vertebra and malpositioned and bipartite sternebra, were observed in individual fetuses, unrelated to dose.
All these findings were single cases, most of them can be found in the historical control data, except for ‘absent lumbar vertebra’. They also do neither form a pattern or syndrome with other minor anomalies which may raise toxicological concern nor do they influence the overall rate of malformations in this study.
There is no evidence for any association of these scattered findings with the treatment.
The total incidences of malformations are summarized in table 7.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- The oral administration of the test substance to pregnant Wistar rats from implantation to one day prior to the expected day of parturition (GD 6-19) at doses as high as 1000 mg/kg bw/d caused neither evidence of maternal nor developmental toxicity.
In conclusion, the no observed adverse effect level (NOAEL) for maternal and prenatal developmental toxicity is the highest tested dose of 1000 mg/kg bw/d. - Executive summary:
The test substance (UVCB) was tested for its prenatal developmental toxicity in Wistar rats according to OECD 414.
The test substance was administered as an aqueous preparation to groups of 25 time-mated female Wistar rats by gavage at doses of 100, 300 and 1000 mg/kg body weight/day (mg/kg bw/d) on gestation days (GD) 6 through 19. The control group, consisting of 25 females, was dosed with the vehicle (drinking water; from day 8 onwards deionized water, with 5 mg/100 mL Cremophor EL) in parallel. A standard dose volume of 10 mL/kg body weight was used for each test group. At terminal sacrifice on GD 20, 23-25 females per group had implantation sites.
Food consumption and body weights of the animals were recorded regularly throughout the study period. The state of health of the animals was checked each day.
On GD 20, all surviving females were sacrificed by decapitation (under isoflurane anesthesia) and assessed by gross pathology (including weight determinations of the unopened uterus and placentas). For each dam, corpora lutea were counted and number and distribution of implantation sites (differentiated between resorptions, live and dead fetuses) were determined. The fetuses were removed from the uterus, sexed, weighed and further investigated for external findings. Thereafter, one half of the fetuses of each litter were examined for soft tissue findings and the remaining fetuses for skeletal (inclusive cartilage) findings.
The stability of the test substance in drinking water with 5 mg/100 mL Cremophor EL over a period of 7 days at room temperature was demonstrated and a homogeneous distribution of the test substance in the vehicle together with the correctness of the prepared concentrations was shown.
There were no test substance-related adverse effects of toxicological relevance on dams, gestational parameters or fetuses observed in any test group.
Based on these findings and under the conditions of the prenatal developmental toxicity study, the oral administration of the test substance to pregnant Wistar rats from implantation to one day prior to the expected day
of parturition (GD 6-19) at doses as high as 1000 mg/kg bw/d caused neither evidence of maternal nor developmental toxicity.
In conclusion, the no observed adverse effect level (NOAEL) for maternal and prenatal developmental toxicity is the highest tested dose of 1000 mg/kg bw/d.
