Pathology: Microscopic examination was conducted by the Study Pathologist. - Statistics:
- Statistical analysis was performed on the following parameters: Grip Strength, Motor Activity, Body Weight Change, Hematology, Blood Chemistry, Absolute Organ Weights, Body Weight-Relative Organ Weights.
Where appropriate, data transformations were performed using the most suitable method. The homogeneity of variance from mean values was analyzed using Bartlett’s test. Intergroup variances were assessed using suitable ANOVA, or if required, ANCOVA with appropriate covariates. Any transformed data were analyzed to find the lowest treatment level that showed a significant effect using the Williams Test for parametric data or the Shirley Test for non-parametric data. If no dose response was found but the data shows non-homogeneity of means, the data were analyzed by a stepwise Dunnett’s (parametric) or Steel (non-parametric) test to determine significant difference from the control group. Where the data were unsuitable for these analyses, pair-wise tests was performed using the Student t-test (parametric) or the Mann-Whitney U test (non-parametric).
Probability values (p) are presented as follows:
p<0.01 **

Results and discussion
Results of examinations
- Clinical signs:
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- Incidences of increased salivation were evident in five males treated with 1000 mg/kg bw/day throughout the majority of the treatment period and in one male treated with 100 mg/kg bw/day on two occasions. An observation of this nature is commonly observed following the oral administration of an unpalatable substance formulation and is considered not to represent an adverse effect of treatment.
Noisy respiration was also evident in three males treated with 1000 mg/kg bw/day between Days 52 and 90, in one female treated with 1000 mg/kg bw/day on two occasions, in one male and two females treated with 100 mg/kg bw/day on one occasion and in one male and one female treated with 10 mg/kg bw/day on one occasion only. At these low frequencies and distributions, this is considered to indicate possible difficulties in dosing particular animals on isolated occasions and not indicative of systemic toxicity.
Incidental observations, showing no dose related response and considered to be unrelated to test item administration included one control male had noisy respiration on Day 43, one male treated at 100 mg/kg bw/day with an open wound on the left shoulder between Days 9 and 11, which then became a scab between Days 12 and 39 and a male treated with 10 mg/kg bw/day was observed to have misaligned posture, holding its head tilted to the left from Day 13 to termination. - Mortality:
- mortality observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence):
- One control female was found dead on Day 75. At necropsy this female had black colored contents in the cecum, colon, duodenum, ileum, jejunum and stomach and a pale liver with dark patches. There were no changes at histopathology to account for the death or the macroscopic changes, however, lymphoid necrosis/atrophy/depletion was present along with cortical hypertrophy in the adrenal glands which indicate poor clinical condition/stress.
- Body weight and weight changes:
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- Males treated with 1000 and 100 mg/kg bw/day showed statistically significantly higher (p<0.05-0.01) body weight gains during Week 2, with males treated at 1000 mg/kg bw/day also showing statistically significantly higher body weight gains during Weeks 4 (p<0.01), 5 (p<0.05) and 7 (p<0.01). An increase in body weight gain is considered not to be an adverse effect of treatment.
- Food consumption and compound intake (if feeding study):
- no effects observed
- Ophthalmological findings:
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- Ophthalmoscopic examination of animals of both sexes from the control and 1000 mg/kg bw/day dose groups during Week 12 of the treatment period did not indicate any treatment-related differences.
- Haematological findings:
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- Total leukocyte count was statistically significantly lower (p<0.05) in all treated males. With the exception of one individual male treated at 100 mg/kg bw/day, all individual values for treated males were within the historical control range. Mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration and lymphocytes for males treated with 1000 mg/kg bw/day were statistically significantly lower (p<0.05) compared to controls. For mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration, four of the individual control values exceeded the historical control range, whereas all of the individual values for males treated with 1000 mg/kg bw/day were within the historical control range. For lymphocytes, although all individual control values were within the historical control range, only one individual value for males at 1000 mg/kg bw/day was below this range. As the majority of values were within the historical control normal ranges, and in the absence of any histopathological correlates, these intergroup differences were considered to be of no toxicological significance.
Eosinophils were statistically significantly lower (p<0.05) than controls for males treated with 10 mg/kg bw/day. All individual values were within the historical control range and in the absence of any similar findings in males treated with 100 or 1000 mg/kg bw/day, the intergroup difference was considered to be of no toxicological significance. - Clinical biochemistry findings:
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- Males treated at 1000 mg/kg bw/day showed a statistically significant increase (p<0.05) in calcium concentration. All of the individual values were within the historical control range and in the absence of any associated histopathological correlates the intergroup difference was considered not to be of toxicological significance. Bilirubin levels were also statistically significantly higher (p<0.05) than controls in males treated with 100 and 1000 mg/kg bw/day. However, two individual control values were below the historical control range and only one individual value for males at 1000 mg/kg bw/day was above the historical control range. All values for males treated with 100 mg/kg bw/day were within the historical control range. In the absence of any associated histopathological correlates the intergroup differences were considered not to be of toxicological significance.
- Urinalysis findings:
- not examined
- Behaviour (functional findings):
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- Occasional incidences of noisy respiration were evident in one male treated with 1000 mg/kg bw/day during the final two weeks of treatment, but this is likely to be due to slight difficulties in dosing this particular animal on these occasions and is not indicative of true systemic toxicity.
The incidental clinical finding of mis-aligned posture was evident in one male treated with 10 mg/kg bw/day from Week 2 assessments onwards.
Motor activity assessment did not indicate any effect of treatment for either sex at 10, 100 or 1000 mg/kg bw/day. There was no effect of treatment at 10, 100 or 1000 mg/kg bw/day on forelimb or hindlimb grip strength.
There were no treatment-related changes in sensory reactivity. Intergroup differences observed in the scores for sensory reactivity did not indicate any effect of treatment for either sex at 10, 100 or 1000 mg/kg bw/day. - Immunological findings:
- not examined
- Organ weight findings including organ / body weight ratios:
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- Males treated with 100 and 10 mg/kg bw/day showed statistically significant increases (p<0.05) in absolute and body weight relative kidney weights in comparison with controls. The majority of individual values were within historical control ranges and in the absence of any similar findings in males treated with 1000 mg/kg bw/day or any associated histopathological correlates, the intergroup differences were considered not to be of toxicological significance.
Both absolute and body weight relative liver weights were statistically significantly higher (p<0.05) for males treated with 100 and 1000 mg/kg bw/day compared to controls. However, the majority of these individual values were within historical control normal ranges, a true dose related response for relative weights was not evident and there were no histopathological correlates. The intergroup differences were therefore considered not to be of toxicological significance. - Gross pathological findings:
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- Red or dark coloration of the lungs was observed for one female at 10 mg/kg bw/day, three males and one female treated with 100 mg/kg bw/day and two males treated with 1000 mg/kg bw/day. Such findings are common in this type of study and were considered to be unrelated to treatment with the substance.
Increased pelvic space in both kidneys was observed in one control female and mottled kidneys was observed in one control male. In the absence of treatment, these were considered to be incidental findings. One female treated with 100 mg/kg bw/day had a dark liver and one female treated with 10 mg/kg bw/day had a dark patch on the liver. In the absence of a similar effect at 1000 mg/kg bw/day or any associated histopathological correlates, these findings were considered incidental and unrelated to treatment. - Neuropathological findings:
- not examined
- Histopathological findings: non-neoplastic:
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- Centrilobular hypertrophy was noted in the liver of one male treated with 1000 mg/kg bw/day, however, due to the low incidence and minimal severity after ninety days of treatment this is considered not to be related to the administration of the substance. No changes were noted which could account for the weight increase noted in the liver of males and all are considered to be incidental.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- The oral (gavage) administration of the substance, for ninety consecutive days, to Wistar rats of both sexes at dose levels of 10, 100 or 1000 mg/kg bw/day did not result in any adverse treatment-related effects. The ‘No Observed Adverse Effect Level’ (NOAEL) was therefore considered to be >1000 mg/kg bw/day.
- Executive summary:
Male and female Wistar rats (10/sex/dose) were administered the substance (dissolved in Arachis oil BP) by oral gavage at doses of 0 (vehicle only), 10, 100 or 1000 mg/kg bw/day once daily for 90 consecutive days. The study was conducted according to OECD Guideline 408 (Subchronic Oral Toxicity - Rodent: 90 Day Study) and in accordance with GLP. Clinical signs, functional observations, body weight change, dietary intake and water consumption were monitored during the study. Haematology and blood chemistry were evaluated for all animals at the end of the study. Ophthalmoscopic examination was also performed on control group and high dose animals. All animals were subjected to gross necropsy examination and histopathological evaluation of selected tissues from high dose and control animals was performed. No mortality occurred and no treatment-related clinical signs were observed during the study. Incidences of increased salivation were evident in males treated with 1000 mg/kg bw/day throughout the majority of the treatment period and in males treated with 100 mg/kg bw/day albeit to a lesser extent. Noisy respiration was also evident in three males treated with 1000 mg/kg bw/day between Days 52 and 90 and in one female treated with 1000 mg/kg bw/day, one male and two females treated with 100 mg/kg bw/day and one male and one female treated with 10 mg/kg bw/day on one occasion only. There were no toxicologically significant changes in the behavioral parameters measured. There were no treatment-related changes in functional performance. There were no treatment-related changes in sensory reactivity. No adverse effect on body weight development was evident in treated animals when compared to controls. No effect on food consumption or food efficiency was evident in treated animals when compared to controls. Visual inspection of water bottles did not reveal any intergroup differences. Ophthalmoscopic examination of animals of both sexes from the control and surviving 1000 mg/kg bw/day dose groups during Week 12 of the treatment period did not indicate any treatment-related differences. There were no toxicologically significant effects detected in the hematological or blood chemistry parameters examined. No treatment-related findings were reported at post mortem macroscopic observations and histopathological examination. No toxicologically significant effects were detected in the organ weights measured. In conclusion, no treatment-related changes, which could be considered adverse, were observed in male and female rats following dosing with the substance, when administered by oral gavage for 90 consecutive days at the dosages of 10, 100 and 1000 mg/kg bw/day. The No Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) for this study was >1000 mg/kg bw/day.
