- CLINICAL SIGNS AND MORTALITY
there were no clinical observations that were considered to be related to treatment
During week 4 1 control male died and in the intermediate dose 1 female
Both death were considered to result vrom blood sampling/anesthetic
BODY WEIGHT AND WEIGHT GAIN
The body weight gain of male and female rats was considered not to have been affected by treatment
HAEMATOLOGY and CLINICAL CHEMISTRY
The measured haematological and clinical chemistry parameters were considered to have remained unaffected by treatment
ORGAN WEIGHTS
Organ weights in test animals were in general comparable to organ weights of control animals
the absolute and relative testis weights for high dose group males were slightly higher han those of the controls.
However there was no histopathological correlate
Testis weights for the low and intermediate dose group males were similiar to those of the controls
GROSS PATHOLOGY and HISTOPATHOLOGY: NON-NEOPLASTIC
there were no histopathological findings of any unusual nature or incidence suggestive of target organ toxicity - Dose descriptor:
- NOAEL
- Effect level:
- ca. 150 mg/kg bw/day (actual dose received)
- Sex:
- male/female
- Basis for effect level:
- other: There were no major differences between control and treated rats. The high dose group males had slightly higher testis weights than the controls. However there was no histopathological correlate
- Critical effects observed:
- not specified
- Executive summary:
In an test according to OECD TG 407 and GLP groups of male and female Crl:CD(SD)BR rats received N,N-Dimethylbenzylamine in corn oil by daily oral gavage at nominal dose levels of 6, 30 or 150 mg/kg bw/day. A further group of the same size received corn oil alone and served as control. There were no major differences between control and treated rats. The high dose group males had slightly higher testis weights than the controls. However there was no histopathological correlate. Therefore this finding was considered not to be of toxicological relvance. The NOAEL was determined to be 150 mg/kg bw/day (BG Chemie 1988).
Reference
The data were processed, where appropriate, to give group mean values and standard deviations. The nature of the data was considered to be such that statistical analysis would not have provided additional information.
Endpoint conclusion
- Dose descriptor:
- NOAEL
- 150 mg/kg bw/day
- Study duration:
- subacute
- Species:
- rat
Additional information
ORAL ADMINISTRATION
There is no sub-chronic study available. In accordance with section 1 of REACH Annex XI, a sub-chronic repeated dose toxicity study is not required.
There are 2 sub-acute oral studies available which are performed according the respective guideline and in which the test substance
was applied by gavage to male and female rats in dosages of 0, 6, 30, 150, 200 mg/kg bw/day (BG Chemie 1988, 1990) or 0, 50, 100, 200, 400 mg/kg bw/day (MHLW 1997), respectively. In addition, rats of the control group and rats treated with 200 and 400 mg/kg bw/day were observed after termination of treatment for further 2 weeks (recovery group, MHLW 1997).
Mortalities of both males and females receiving 400 mg/kg were observed from week 2. Miosis and salivation was observed in those rats receiving 200 and 400 mg/kg bw/day. The 150 mg/kg bw/day males had slightly higher testis weights than the controls. However, there was no histopathological correlate. In male and female animals dosed with 100 mg/kg bw/day miosis was the only observed finding . There were no differences between controls and male and female rats dosed with 50, 30 or 6 mg/kg bw/day. Thus, the overall NOAEL is considered to be 150 mg/kg bw/day.
A study according to OECD TG 408 (rat, oral) and GLP is planned after the approval by ECHA.
