Details on results (P0)
There was no premature deaths that could be related to treatment in the groups treated at 1250, 5000, or 20000 ppm. One male treated at 20000 ppm had abnormal growth of teeth from day 8 and was emaciated during the last week of the study. This observation coincided with low body weight gain recorded from the start of the dosing period and with body weight loss between days 29 and 36 (-5%).
BODY WEIGHT AND FOOD CONSUMPTION (PARENTAL ANIMALS)
The group mean body weight gain of males treated at 20000 ppm was affected. Differences were considerable (-34 % over the whole treatment period) and statistically significant when compared to the mean control values. This effect was observed from the beginning of the study and led to statistically significant differences in mean body weight from day 8. At the end of the pre-mating period (day 15), the body weight of males was 8% lower than controls (p<0.01).
The group mean body weight gain of females treated at 20000 ppm was 56% lower than controls during the premating period and mean body weight was 6% lower than controls (p<0.01) on days 8 and 15. During the first week of gestation, the mean body weight gain of females treated at 20000 ppm was 33% lower than controls (and statistically significant, p<0.01). This initial effect was responsible for the lower global body weight gain (-14%) recorded during this phase. Although this difference was not statistically significant at the end of gestation, it was considered to be treatment-related since the body weight was between 6 and 8 % lower than controls on days 7, 14 and 20 of gestation. The group mean body weight recorded on day 5 of lactation was lower than controls (-13%: p<0.001) as was the mean body weight gain from days 1 to 5 of lactation (32%).
At 5000 ppm, the group mean body weight recorded on day 5 of lactation was 6% lower than controls and statistical significant (p<0.01). The differences in the group mean body weight gain of males treated at 5000 ppm and males and females treated at 1250 ppm were considered not to be of biological importance as they were not dose-related.
(See Table 1 for succinct view of the data in the field "remarks on results including tables and figures")
Food consumption of males and females treated at 20000 ppm was 19 to 26% lower than controls during the premating period (p<0.001). During gestation, the females were still affected and food intake was 17 to 23 % lower than controls (with p values<0.01 or <0.001). Between days 1 and 5 of lactation, the food consumption of females treated at the highest concentration was 20 % lower than the control group (p<0.05). At 5000 ppm, this parameter was affected (or altered) by treatment in females during the first week of the premating period (p<0.05) and during gestation and lactation. Differences were slight (-6% to -14%) and did not correlate well with body weight gain. No effect was observed on male mean food consumption at 5000 or 1250 ppm.
TEST SUBSTANCE INTAKE (PARENTAL ANIMALS)
The mean achieved dosages increased in a near dose-proportionnal manner, except for males and females treated at 20000 ppm during premating. (See Table 2 for succinct view of the data in the field "remarks on results including tables and figures")
REPRODUCTIVE FUNCTION: ESTROUS CYCLE (PARENTAL ANIMALS)
No effect was observed on the estrous cycle
REPRODUCTIVE FUNCTION: SPERM MEASURES (PARENTAL ANIMALS)
not performed
REPRODUCTIVE PERFORMANCE (PARENTAL ANIMALS)
There were 0, 3, 2 and 0 non-pregnant females in the groups treated at 0, 1250, 5000 or 20000 ppm, respectively. The incidence of non-pregnant females was not dose-related and was therefore considered not to have been affected by treatment with the test item. Thus, the fertility index was considered not to be affected by treatment with the test item.
ORGAN WEIGHTS (PARENTAL ANIMALS)
No differences were noted between treated and control males in the absolute and relative testis or epididymis weights.
GROSS PATHOLOGY (PARENTAL ANIMALS)
Renal test item-related findings were noted in a dose-related manner, i.e. there were dilated pelvis in 2/10 males given 5000 ppm test item and in 4/10 males given 20000 ppm test item, and granular kidneys with green content in 1/10 females given 20000 ppm test item.
HISTOPATHOLOGY (PARENTAL ANIMALS)
Treatment-related changes were observed in the kidney and consisted of dilated pelvis (correlated with macroscopic examination), tubular dilation and/or basophilia, interstitial, intra-vascular, and/or tubular inflammatory cells sometimes associated with myxoid papilla stroma in some treated males and female given 5000 or 20000 ppm test item. The female given 20000 ppm had moderate suppurative nephritis associated with urothelium hyperplasia.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Under the conditions of this test, 11-aminoundecanoic acid has no effect on mating, fertility, gestation or delivery.
- Executive summary:
In a reproduction/developmental toxicity screening test following guideline OECD 421 (CIT, 2008), 11-aminoundecanoic acid (batch Nos. 0808204 and 0808295) was given to male and female Sprague-Dawley rats (10 animals per group) by dietary admixture for 2 weeks before mating, during mating, gestation and until day 4 post-partum, at the constant concentrations of 1250, 5000 or 20000 ppm. Another group of 10 males and 10 females received the untreated diet under the same experimental conditions and served as a control group. The concentrations of dietary admixture were checked in weeks 1, 4 and 6. Test item admixtures were within the acceptable concentration range of -7% to +19%. The nominal concentrations of 1250, 5000 or 20000 ppm corresponded to achieved dosages of 79, 319 or 1099 mg/kg/day for the males and 103, 393 or 1428 mg/kg/day for the females, thus demonstrating a satisfactory intake of the test item. There were no unscheduled deaths at any concentration. In-life findings recorded for the F0 animals were limited to one case of emaciated appearance in a male treated at 20000 ppm from day 36. Body weight was statistically significantly lower at 20000 ppm throughout the study and on day 5 of lactation in females treated at 5000 ppm. Food consumption was lower than controls during the study in goup treated at 20000 ppm and transiently in females treated at 5000 ppm (premating). No effects on mating, fertility, gestation or delivery were detected. There were no treatment-related effects on pup mortality or clinical signs. The body weight gain of pups at 20000 ppm was lower between days 1 and 5 of lactation. There were no relevant macroscopic abnormalities in pups sacrificed as scheduled or in pups found dead. There were no treatment-related effects on organ weights. Test item-related findings were observed in the kidneys of 2/10 males given 5000 ppm and 4/10 males and 1/10 females given 20000 ppm. These findings included dilated pelvis and granular kidneys with green content. Treatment-related changes were observed at microscopic examination in the kidney at 5000 and 20000 ppm and consisted of dilated pelvis, tubular dilatation and/or basophilia, interstitial, intra-vascular and/or tubular inflammatroy cells sometimes associated with myxoid papilla stroma. Based on the results of this study, the concentration of 1250 ppm was considered to be the No Observed Effect Level (NOEL) for parental toxicity and the concentration of 20000 ppm was considered to be the NOEL for reproductive performance.
