water - Analytical verification of doses or concentrations:
- yes
- Details on analytical verification of doses or concentrations:
- Prior to the study described herein the stability of the test substance in aqueous solutions was checked. Therefore two solutions with concentrations of approx. 20 mg/mL and 100 mg/mL, respectively, were prepared. The concentration of this solutions was measured after completion of solutions, immediately, and again after 24 hours. In the meantime the solutions were stored at room temperature. The results showed no decrease of concentration during the test period. The HPLC conditions used to analyse the standard- and sample solutions were in accordance with the "Purity" method of DEGUSSA AG. This method was modified in order to accommodate it to this study and to the HPLC-apparatus used. Each standard solutions was injected twice, each sample
solution 3 times.

For statistical evaluation of food consumption, body weights, and organ weights the DUNNETT-Test (4) was used. For values of hematological and clinical chemistry examinations the DUNNETT-Test was used in case of normal distribution, otherwise the STEEL-Test was employed. Significant differences between mean values of control group 1 and dose groups 2 and 3 were marked with * or ** (significance level of p < 0.05 or p < 0.01 according to DUNNETT) or + (significance level p < 0.05 according to STEEL), respectively. Results of urinalysis are only given as individual animal data.
Results and discussion
Results of examinations
- Clinical signs:
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- The behaviour and general condition of the rats remained unaffected. As the only symptoms during the study individual animals (3 males, 1 female) of the treatment groups exhibited a red incrustration at the neck probably due to scratches and one female rat of the control group showed moderate focal alopezia. These findings are considered as incidental.
- Mortality:
- no mortality observed
- Body weight and weight changes:
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- Body weights exhibited no differences between treated and control rats.
- Food consumption and compound intake (if feeding study):
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- Food consumption of treated animals was not affected. In males food consumption was minimally (less than 1 g/animal/day) lower than control values. In females food consumption was insignificantly higher than the control value. One animal of the low dose group (No. 39) spoiled a lot of food and therefore had to be excluded from evaluation.
- Food efficiency:
- not examined
- Water consumption and compound intake (if drinking water study):
- not examined
- Ophthalmological findings:
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- No substance related effects were noticed.
- Haematological findings:
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- No substance related changes were detected.
- Clinical biochemistry findings:
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- The examination of clinical chemistry parameters in week 1 revealed alterations in triglycerides, cholesterol, and albumin. Cholesterol concentrations were reduced while albumin was increased in male and female animals. Triglycerides were also reduced but the change was more pronounced in the low dose group and only males were affected. The changes in the relative concentrations of a1- and β-globulins probably were an artefact due to the increase of albumin. All values are only marginally out of the normal range and therefore regarded as a sign of adaption to the altered nutrition. The statistically significant differences in iron (high dose, females) and creatinine (high dose, females) concentrations are considered as toxicologically irrelevant, as the values are well within the normal range. The second determination during week 4 of the treatment period indicated almost the same alterations in cholesterol, triglycerides, and albumin in males. In females albumin was increased also, but cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations were not altered significantly. Additionally males of the high dose group showed minimal increases in creatinine, alanine aminotransferase (increased also in low dose males), and alkaline phosphatase. Calcium concentrations were marginally reduced. In high dose females statistically significant increases were detected in alkaline phosphatase, aspartate aminotransferase, and urea (low dose also). All of these changes were of only border line extent and are therefore considered as incidental findings of no toxicological relevance. The third examination at the end of the recovery period (week 10) did not reveal any changes except for an incidentally low value of alkaline phosphatase activity in males.
- Urinalysis findings:
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- The investigation during week 4 of the treatment period did not reveal any significant differences between treated and control rats.
- Behaviour (functional findings):
- not examined
- Immunological findings:
- not examined
- Organ weight findings including organ / body weight ratios:
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- The measurement of the absolute and relative organ weights during necropsy indicated a minimal increase in liver weights of male and female rats of the high dose group. At the end of the recovery period the differences between treated and control animals had disappeared. The finding is considered as an adaptive reaction to the high doses of peptide. This judgement also is supported by the absence of any morphological change in the livers during microscopical examination.
- Gross pathological findings:
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- No treatment related alterations were detected during necropsy.
- Neuropathological findings:
- not examined
- Histopathological findings: non-neoplastic:
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- Treatment related histologic changes were observed in the stomach.
Stomach
The glandular mucosa of animals treated with the test substance showed elongated gastric pits which were covered by hyperplastic surface epithelial cells. The finding was observed only in the region of the fundic mucosa and showed a diffuse distribution pattern.
The cytoplasm of the hyperplastic cells had an increased basophilia. As demonstrated by the PAS stain it contained only minimal amounts of PAS positive mucus substances. The other cell types of the gastric mucosa remained unchanged. Diffuse hyperplasia of surface epithelial cells was observed in all group 2 and 3 male rats and also in 1/5 control animals. In females 3/5 group 2 and 5/5 group 3 rats were affected. The finding was graded as minimal to moderate and showed a dose related increase in grade. The mean severity was 1.2 and 2.2 in male rats of groups 2 and 3, respectively (1 = minimal; 2 = slight; 3 = moderate). In the 1/5 control rats which had diffuse hyperplasia of the surface epithelial cells it was graded as minimal. In group 2 female animals the mean severity was 1.0 and in group 3 females 2.2. All other histopathological findings, e. g. focal endocardiosis of the heart or lymphoid hyperplasia of the spleen are regarded as incidental and not related to the treatment. - Histopathological findings: neoplastic:

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- The results of the present 4-week oral toxicity study conducted according to OECD guideline 407 (1981) on ε-Trifluoroacetyl-L-lysyl-L-proline in Wistar rats indicate, that the test substance produces only mild, adaptive effects even at very high doses and after prolonged exposure. Although there are minor effects even at the low dose, these effects are not interpreted as toxicity, but as adaption to the unusually high peptide supply or the slight local irritant effects. The liver and the stomach displayed the highest sensitivity to the presence of the test substance.
The NOAEL is estimated as above 1000 mg/kg body weight.
