Details on study design:
In a developmental toxicity study, groups of 35 pregnant rats were fed Brown FK at dietary concentrations of 0, 0.03, 0.15, or 0.6 % (equivalent to 0, 15, 75, or 300 mg/kg bw/day) from day 0-19 post coitus. Additional groups received 0.6% sodium chloride (salt control) or aspirin (250 mg/kg bw/day) (positive control). Five animals at each dose level were allowed to litter normally and the offspring were raised to weaning, while the remaining animals in each group were sacrificed at Gestation Day (GD) 17 and the fetuses removed by Caesarean section. Two-thirds of the fetuses were examined for gross soft-tissue abnormalities, then cleared and stained with Alizarin red for examination for skeletal defects. The remaining one-third of animals was examined for soft tissue defects

Examinations

Maternal examinations:
No abnormalities in condition or behaviour of the dams were observed.
Fetal examinations:
Soft tissue abnormalities or skeletal defects were not observed in any of the sacrificed fetuses or weaned animals

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The analogue substance was tested following a study desgin equivalent to OECD 414. Under the experimental conditions the NOAEL is equal to 300 mg/kg bw /day.
Executive summary:

In a developmental toxicity study, groups of 35 pregnant rats were fed Brown FK at dietary concentrations of 0, 0.03, 0.15, or 0.6 % (equivalent to 0, 15, 75, or 300 mg/kg bw/day) from day 0-19

post coitus. Additional groups received 0.6% sodium chloride (salt control) or aspirin (250 mg/kg bw/day) (positive control). Five animals at each dose level were allowed to litter normally and the

offspring were raised to weaning, while the remaining animals in each group were sacrificed at Gestation Day (GD) 17 and the fetuses removed by Caesarean section. Two-thirds of the fetuses were

Soft tissue abnormalities or skeletal defects were not observed in any of the sacrificed fetuses or weaned animals examined for gross soft-tissue abnormalities, then cleared and stained with Alizarin red for examination for skeletal defects.
