Description of key information
Reproductive Toxicity Study:
In three generation reproductive toxicity study, Total 450 male and female Fischer 344 rats were used in the study separated in two group i.e. control group and treated group.90 animals of each sex were used in control group. The test chemical was given in feed at dose concentration 0, 5, 15 and 30 mg /kg bw /day.45 animals of each sex were used for each dose concentration in F0 generation. In F0 generation male and female rats of same dose group were caged together for 14 days for mating .Pups from this mating F1a generation used for separate study while F0 generation animals were mating second times in same dose group following birth of F1b generation. At 100-140 days of age, one male and one female from each litter were randomly selected to produce F2ageneration. Same procedure was used to produce F2b generation. After 100-140 days, F3a generation were produce as result of mating one male and one female animal per litter from F2b generation. Pups from all generations were examined for gross deformities while at weaning, 2male and 2 female per litter of F3a generation were randomly selected for histopathology of organs and tissues. The dose related effect in body weight was observed at dose 30mg/kg bw /day dose group, as animals in this group had lower body weight compared to control and lower dose group. No dose related effects were observed on reproductive performance as number of pups per litter, fertility index and numbers of stillborn animals were not affected across the generation or dose group. Also No dose related effects were observed on gross deformities in each generation. The only significant histopathological changes noted in F3ageneration were dose related trend for focal dilation of renal cortex and tubules and statistically significant dose related trend for necrosis of thymus (p<0.012 for male and p<0.0001 for female).Also statistically significant inverse dose response relationship for red pulp hematopoietic cell proliferation of spleen (p<0.001 for male and p<0.00001 for female). Hence the NOAEL for reproductive toxicity was 30mg/kg bw/day the highest dose tested. While LOAEL for offspring in F3a generation was considered at 5mg/kg bw/day when male and female Fischer 344 rats were treated with the test chemical orally.

- Details on study design:
- Study 2, 3 and 4: No data
Study 5: To determine the dose range, eight sperm positive females/group were given the test chemical by gavage daily from GD 6–15 at dosages of 0 (control), 10, 40, 120, and 200 mg/kg/day. The results show that the administration of 200 mg/kg/day caused maternal death (2 of 8 treated pregnant rats). The post-implantation loss was found at 120–200 mg/kg/day. Minor changes of body weight were revealed at 40 mg/kg/day. No evidence of adverse effects was found at 10 mg/kg/day.
Based on these results, 30 sperm positive females/group were administered the test chemical by gavage at 0 (control), 10, 80, and 160 mg/kg/day. Dosing occurred once daily in the morning from GD6–15. The dosing volume was 10 mL/kg. Initial doses were based on GD6 weight and adjusted every 3 days throughout the treatment period. A control group received the vehicle under the same conditions.

Study 5: The incidences of fetuses and litters with external abnormality in the treated groups were not significantly different from those in the control group. A few cases (1 or 2 per group) of anasarca, exencephaly, and hindlimb hyperextension were only observed at 80 and 160 mg/kg/day. Significantly increased incidences of fetuses and litters with visceral abnormality were detected only in the 160 mg/kg/day group compared with the control values. No specific visceral alteration was significantly different among the four groups. Some visceral abnormalities, such as misshapen cerebrum, enlarged ventricular chamber, small kidney, dilated ureter, small lung, and supernumerary lung lobe, were only observed in the treated groups. The test chemical induced a dose-related increased incidence of fetuses (litters) with skeletal abnormalities. The number of affected fetuses (litters) was statistically significant in the two higher-dose groups compared with the control. The predominant skeletal anomalies observed were bipartite ossification of the thoracic centrum. The fetal(litter)incidences of bipartite ossification of the thoracic centrum were significantly higher than control at 80 and 160 mg/kg/day, and were 33% (74%) and 69% (100%), respectively. At 160 mg/kg/day, the fetal and litter incidences of bipartite ossification of the lumbar centrum were 8% and 36%, also significantly higher than that of the control, in which no fetus with this abnormality was observed. Other skeletal abnormalities, such as detached rib cartilage, supernumerary thoracic centrum, absent lumbar centrum, supernumeary lumbar centrum, and misshapen sacral arch, were only observed in the dose groups, but were not significantly increased. - Histopathological findings:

Reproductive Toxicity Study:
The following summaries represent the information of the effect of the test chemical in the test animals:
Reproductive Toxicity Study 2:
In three generation reproductive toxicity study, Total 450 male and female Fischer 344 rats were used in the study separated in two group i.e. control group and treated group.90 animals of each sex were used in control group. The test chemical was given in feed at dose concentration 0, 5, 15 and 30 mg /kg bw /day.45 animals of each sex were used for each dose concentration in F0 generation. In F0 generation male and female rats of same dose group were caged together for 14 days for mating .Pups from this mating F1a generation used for separate study while F0 generation animals were mating second times in same dose group following birth of F1b generation. At 100-140 days of age, one male and one female from each litter were randomly selected to produce F2ageneration. Same procedure was used to produce F2b generation. After 100-140 days, F3a generation were produce as result of mating one male and one female animal per litter from F2b generation. Pups from all generations were examined for gross deformities while at weaning, 2male and 2 female per litter of F3a generation were randomly selected for histopathology of organs and tissues. The dose related effect in body weight was observed at dose 30mg/kg bw /day dose group, as animals in this group had lower body weight compared to control and lower dose group. No dose related effects were observed on reproductive performance as number of pups per litter, fertility index and numbers of stillborn animals were not affected across the generation or dose group. Also No dose related effects were observed on gross deformities in each generation. The only significant histopathological changes noted in F3ageneration were dose related trend for focal dilation of renal cortex and tubules and statistically significant dose related trend for necrosis of thymus (p<0.012 for male and p<0.0001 for female).Also statistically significant inverse dose response relationship for red pulp hematopoietic cell proliferation of spleen (p<0.001 for male and p<0.00001 for female). Hence the NOAEL for reproductive toxicity was 30mg/kg bw/day the highest dose tested. While LOAEL for offspring in F3a generation was considered at 5mg/kg bw/day when male and female Fischer 344 rats were treated with the test chemical orally.
Reproductive Toxicity Study 3:
In a Combined Repeated Dose Toxicity Study with the Reproduction/ Developmental Toxicity Screening Test,Crl:CD (SD)male and female rats treated with the test chemical in the concentration of 0, 1.6, 8 and 40 mg/kg/day orally by gavage in 0.5 % Methylcellulose aqueous solution. 1 male and 4 female died and 3 male and 1 female were sacrificed due to morbidity at 40 mg/kg bw. No effect on survival of treated rats were observed at 1.6 and 8 mg/kg bw as compared to control, Decreased spontaneous activity, Prone position, Bradypnea, Abnormal respiratory tones, Hypothermia, Abnormal gait, Soft stool, Emaciation, Abdominal distention, Dirty around anus, Soiled perineal region, External genital bleeding and test article-colored feces were observed in dead treated rats as compared to control. Soft stool and dirty around anus in male and female and External genital bleeding in Female surviving rats at 40 mg/kg/day. Colored feces were observed in 1.6 and 8 mg/kg bw treated rats.Decrease in body-weight and body-weight gain were observed in male and body weight gain in female rats and decrease in food consumption were observed in male and female rats as compared to control at40 mg/kg/day. Bradypnea, Prone position, Decrease in spontaneous activity,incomplete eyelid opening and abnormal gait in died animals and noeffects on surviving animals wereobserved.No effect on ureinanalysis was observed in male rats as compared to control. Similarly,Increase in the PLT was observed in male and female rats as compared to control at 40 mg/kg/day. Increase in the AST and ALT in male, CPK and BUN were observed in extremely killed male and female rat at 40 mg/kg/day. Decrease in the TP and alpha 1-glb, Increase in the Alb, A/G and BUN in male and increase in the BUN (tendency) in Female rats were observed as compared to control in survival animals. No effect on organ weight of treated was male and female rats were observed as compared to control.

Trachea; Desquamation of epithelium and inflammatory cell infiltration of mucosa (Male 1/4, Female 2/5), Glandular stomach; Atrophy of epithelial cell (Male 1/4, Female 1/5), Small/large intestine; Hypertrophy of epithelial cell (sporadically observed in Male and Female), Liver; Hypertrophy of centrilobular hepatocyte (Male 3/4, Female 3/5), Necrosis (Male 1/4, Female 2/5), Vacuolation (Male 1/4), Adrenal; Hypertrophy of zona fasciculata (Male 2/4, Female 5/5), Bone marrow; Deficient erythropoiesis and granulopoiesis (Male 3/4, Female 2/5), Spleen; Atrophy of follicle / marginal zone (Male 2/4, Female 5/5) and periarterial lymphatic sheath (Male 3/4, Female 5/5), Thymus; Atrophy (Male 4/4, Female 3/5) /necrosis of lymphocyte (Male 3/4, Female 4/5), Lymph node; Atrophy of follicle / paracortex (Male 3/4, Female 5/5), Spinal cord / fourth ventricle / testis / urinary bladder; Hemorrhage or hemorrhagic infarction (Male 1/4), Vagina; Hemorrhage (Female 2/5), Mucoid degeneration of mucosa (Female 2/5), Lung; Hemorrhage of alveolus, edema of alveolus and inflammatory cell infiltration (Female 1/5) were observed as compared to control in extremis killed animals and Liver; Hypertrophy of centrilobular hepatocyte (Male 2/4), Duodenum; Hypertrophy of epithelial cell (Male 2/4, Female 6/7), Mesenteric lymph node and Sinus histiocytosis (Male 1/4, Female 3/7) were observed as compared to control in survival animals at 40 mg/kg/day. In addition no reproductive effect such as Estrous cyclicity, copulation and implantation, Fertility rat, gestation period, implantation index, live birth index, delivery index were observed in treated rats as compared to control. No effect on viability, development and growth of pups were observed in treated rats as compared to control. Therefore, NOAEL was considered to be 40 mg/kg/day for P and F1 generation whenCrl:CD (SD)male and female rats treated with the test chemical orally by gavage.
Reproductive Toxicity Study 4:
In a Combined Repeated Dose Toxicity Study with the Reproduction/ Developmental Toxicity Screening Test,Crl:CD (SD) male and female rats treated withthe test chemical in the concentration of 0, 40, 200 and 1000 mg/kg/day orally by gavage in 0.1 w/v% Tween 80 added 0.5 w/v% CMC-Na solution. No efect on survival, clinical signs, body weight, food consumption, behavior test, hematology, blood chemistry, urinalysis, organ weight and gross pathology were observed in treated male and female rats as compared to control. Focal necrosis of mucosa and hyperplasia of gastric pits in the glandular stomach were observed in female rat at 200 and 1000 mg/kg bw. The focal necrosis of mucosa is occasionally seen in the mucosa of the glandular stomach when the chemical compounds are administrated. Many of these induced changes have reversibility. Focal necrosis of mucosa were not noted at the end of the recovery period, indicating reversibility. The hyperplasia of mucosal epithelium in the glandular stomach was considered to be a regeneration or restoration image against early epithelium disorder. The image of hyperplasia disappeared by complete repairing at the end of the recovery period. In addition no reproductive effect such as Estrous cyclicity, copulation and implantation, Fertility rat, gestation period, implantation index, live birth index, delivery index were observed in treated rats as compared to control. No effect on viability, clinical signs, body weights, development and growth of pups and gross pathological changes were observed in treated rats as compared to control. Therefore, NOAEL was considered to be 1000 mg/kg/day for P and F1 generation whenCrl:CD (SD) male and female rats treated with the test chemical orally by gavage.
Reproductive Toxicity Study 5:
A study of the test chemical was performed to evaluate and assess the reproductive and developmental Toxicity of the test chemical in Sprague-Dawley Rats. In this evaluation, the maternal and embryo/fetal effects of
the test chemical orally administered to Sprague–Dawley rats once daily from day 6–15 of gestation at dose levels of 0, 10, 80, and 160 mg/kg/day. At dose levels of 80 and 160 mg/kg/day, the test chemical induced maternal toxicity, which consisted of severe reduction in maternal weight and food consumption during the treatment period. Doses of 80 and 160 mg/kg/day induced fetal skeletal abnormalities. The major skeletal defects were bipartite ossification of the thoracic centrum. The test chemical at 160 mg/kg/day also induced marked embryo lethality and visceral abnormalities. Based on the results of this study, a dose level of 10 mg/kg/day is considered the no-observed-adverse-effect-level (NOAEL) for maternal and fetal developmental toxicity in rats.

Additional information
Reproductive Toxicity Study:
The following summaries represent the information of the effect of the test chemical in the test animals:
Reproductive Toxicity Study 2:
In three generation reproductive toxicity study, Total 450 male and female Fischer 344 rats were used in the study separated in two group i.e. control group and treated group.90 animals of each sex were used in control group. The test chemical was given in feed at dose concentration 0, 5, 15 and 30 mg /kg bw /day.45 animals of each sex were used for each dose concentration in F0 generation. In F0 generation male and female rats of same dose group were caged together for 14 days for mating .Pups from this mating F1a generation used for separate study while F0 generation animals were mating second times in same dose group following birth of F1b generation. At 100-140 days of age, one male and one female from each litter were randomly selected to produce F2ageneration. Same procedure was used to produce F2b generation. After 100-140 days, F3a generation were produce as result of mating one male and one female animal per litter from F2b generation. Pups from all generations were examined for gross deformities while at weaning, 2male and 2 female per litter of F3a generation were randomly selected for histopathology of organs and tissues. The dose related effect in body weight was observed at dose 30mg/kg bw /day dose group, as animals in this group had lower body weight compared to control and lower dose group. No dose related effects were observed on reproductive performance as number of pups per litter, fertility index and numbers of stillborn animals were not affected across the generation or dose group. Also No dose related effects were observed on gross deformities in each generation. The only significant histopathological changes noted in F3ageneration were dose related trend for focal dilation of renal cortex and tubules and statistically significant dose related trend for necrosis of thymus (p<0.012 for male and p<0.0001 for female).Also statistically significant inverse dose response relationship for red pulp hematopoietic cell proliferation of spleen (p<0.001 for male and p<0.00001 for female). Hence the NOAEL for reproductive toxicity was 30mg/kg bw/day the highest dose tested. While LOAEL for offspring in F3a generation was considered at 5mg/kg bw/day when male and female Fischer 344 rats were treated with the test chemical orally.
Reproductive Toxicity Study 3:
In a Combined Repeated Dose Toxicity Study with the Reproduction/ Developmental Toxicity Screening Test,Crl:CD (SD)male and female rats treated with the test chemical in the concentration of 0, 1.6, 8 and 40 mg/kg/day orally by gavage in 0.5 % Methylcellulose aqueous solution. 1 male and 4 female died and 3 male and 1 female were sacrificed due to morbidity at 40 mg/kg bw. No effect on survival of treated rats were observed at 1.6 and 8 mg/kg bw as compared to control, Decreased spontaneous activity, Prone position, Bradypnea, Abnormal respiratory tones, Hypothermia, Abnormal gait, Soft stool, Emaciation, Abdominal distention, Dirty around anus, Soiled perineal region, External genital bleeding and test article-colored feces were observed in dead treated rats as compared to control. Soft stool and dirty around anus in male and female and External genital bleeding in Female surviving rats at 40 mg/kg/day. Colored feces were observed in 1.6 and 8 mg/kg bw treated rats.Decrease in body-weight and body-weight gain were observed in male and body weight gain in female rats and decrease in food consumption were observed in male and female rats as compared to control at40 mg/kg/day. Bradypnea, Prone position, Decrease in spontaneous activity,incomplete eyelid opening and abnormal gait in died animals and noeffects on surviving animals wereobserved.No effect on ureinanalysis was observed in male rats as compared to control. Similarly,Increase in the PLT was observed in male and female rats as compared to control at 40 mg/kg/day. Increase in the AST and ALT in male, CPK and BUN were observed in extremely killed male and female rat at 40 mg/kg/day.

Reproductive Toxicity Study 4:
In a Combined Repeated Dose Toxicity Study with the Reproduction/ Developmental Toxicity Screening Test,Crl:CD (SD) male and female rats treated withthe test chemical in the concentration of 0, 40, 200 and 1000 mg/kg/day orally by gavage in 0.1 w/v% Tween 80 added 0.5 w/v% CMC-Na solution. No efect on survival, clinical signs, body weight, food consumption, behavior test, hematology, blood chemistry, urinalysis, organ weight and gross pathology were observed in treated male and female rats as compared to control. Focal necrosis of mucosa and hyperplasia of gastric pits in the glandular stomach were observed in female rat at 200 and 1000 mg/kg bw. The focal necrosis of mucosa is occasionally seen in the mucosa of the glandular stomach when the chemical compounds are administrated. Many of these induced changes have reversibility. Focal necrosis of mucosa were not noted at the end of the recovery period, indicating reversibility. The hyperplasia of mucosal epithelium in the glandular stomach was considered to be a regeneration or restoration image against early epithelium disorder. The image of hyperplasia disappeared by complete repairing at the end of the recovery period. In addition no reproductive effect such as Estrous cyclicity, copulation and implantation, Fertility rat, gestation period, implantation index, live birth index, delivery index were observed in treated rats as compared to control. No effect on viability, clinical signs, body weights, development and growth of pups and gross pathological changes were observed in treated rats as compared to control. Therefore, NOAEL was considered to be 1000 mg/kg/day for P and F1 generation whenCrl:CD (SD) male and female rats treated with the test chemical orally by gavage.
Reproductive Toxicity Study 5:
A study of the test chemical was performed to evaluate and assess the reproductive and developmental Toxicity of the test chemical in Sprague-Dawley Rats. In this evaluation, the maternal and embryo/fetal effects of
the test chemical orally administered to Sprague–Dawley rats once daily from day 6–15 of gestation at dose levels of 0, 10, 80, and 160 mg/kg/day. At dose levels of 80 and 160 mg/kg/day, the test chemical induced maternal toxicity, which consisted of severe reduction in maternal weight and food consumption during the treatment period. Doses of 80 and 160 mg/kg/day induced fetal skeletal abnormalities. The major skeletal defects were bipartite ossification of the thoracic centrum. The test chemical at 160 mg/kg/day also induced marked embryo lethality and visceral abnormalities. Based on the results of this study, a dose level of 10 mg/kg/day is considered the no-observed-adverse-effect-level (NOAEL) for maternal and fetal developmental toxicity in rats.Effects on developmental toxicity

Study 4: To determine the dose range, eight sperm positive females/group were given test chemical by gavage daily from GD 6–15 at dosages of 0 (control), 10, 40, 120, and 200 mg/kg/day. The results show that the administration of 200 mg/kg/day caused maternal death (2 of 8 treated pregnant rats). The post-implantation loss was found at 120–200 mg/kg/day. Minor changes of body weight were revealed at 40 mg/kg/day. No evidence of adverse effects was found at 10 mg/kg/day.Based on these results, 30 sperm positive females/group were administered with the test chemical by gavage at 0 (control), 10, 80, and 160 mg/kg/day. Dosing occurred once daily in the morning from GD 6–15. The dosing volume was 10 mL/kg. Initial doses were based on GD 6 weight and adjusted every 3 days throughout the treatment period. A control group received the vehicle under the same conditions. Caesarean sections were performed on GD 20, and fetuses were examined for developmental effects. - Maternal examinations:
- Study 2: Survival, clinical sign, body weight, food consumption and urineanalysis, FOB, Urinalysis (Male only), were examined. Estrous cyclicity, copulation and implantation were examined. Hematology, clinical chemistry, Organ weight, gross pathology and histopathology were examined.
Study 3: Survival, clinical sign, body weight, food consumption and urine analysis and FOB were examined. Estrous cyclicity, copulation and implantation were examined. Haematology, clinical chemistry, Organ weight, gross pathology and histopathology were examined.
Study 4: Animals were observed twice daily before and after treatment for signs of overt toxicity, changes in general appearance, and mortality. Sperm positive females were weighed on GD0, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, and 20. Final GD20 body weights were corrected for gravid uterine weights. Food consumption was measured on GD0, 6, 9, 12, 15, and 19. Water consumption was monitored daily. Three females in each group were euthanized by deep anesthesia with sodium pentobarbital followed by exsanguination on GD7 and GD16, respectively. At least 2 mL blood was collected from each animal via the abdominal aorta under deep anesthesia. At least 1 mL amniotic fluid were collected from each dam euthanized on GD16. Blood samples were placed in iced water until they were centrifuged to prepare the plasma samples. All plasma and amniotic fluid samples were stored at 80 C until analysis. On GD20, the surviving mated females were euthanized by CO2 asphyxiation followed by exsanguination. The blood and amniotic fluid samples were collected from the first three pregnant animals necropsied in each group, as described above. All the study animals were examined for gross abnormalities. The livers of pregnant rats in the highest dose group and in the control group were fixed in 10% buffered formalin on GD20. A full histopathological examination was performed on hematoxylin- and eosin-stained tissue sections of the liver. - Ovaries and uterine content:

- Study 2: Number of pups, number of live pups, sex ratio on days 0 and 4, clinical signs and body weight were examined. Gross pathology was performed. Viability index on 0 and 4 day were examined.
Study 3: The number of offspring or live offspring, sex ratio, live birth index, or viability index on day 4 was examined. Also, results from external features, clinical signs, body weights, or necropsy of the offspring were determined.
Study 4: After necropsy on GD20, the uteri were removed and weighed. The number of total implantations and corpora lutea, the number and location of viable and non-viable fetuses, early and late resorptions, and all externally visible fetal abnormalities were recorded. All live fetuses and placentas were weighed. The crownrump length of all live fetuses was measured and their sex was determined. Uteri from females that appeared non-gravid and individual uterine horns without visible implantations were opened and placed in 10% ammonium sulfide solution for detection of implantation sites. All fetuses were examined for external abnormalities. Approximately one-half of the fetuses in each litter were eviscerated (the livers and kidneys of these fetuses were weighed) and stained with Alcian blue and Alizarin red S for subsequent skeletal examination (Tyl and Marr, 2005). The remaining fetuses were fixed in Bouin’s solution for soft tissue examination according to Wilson’s method (Tyl and Marr, 2005).

No effect on viability, development and growth of pups were observed in treated rats as compared to control. Therefore, NOAEL was considered to be 40 mg/kg/day for P and F1 generation whenCrl:CD (SD)male and female rats treated with the test chemical orally by gavage.
Developmental Toxicity Study 3:
In a Combined Repeated Dose Toxicity Study with the Reproduction/ Developmental Toxicity Screening Test,Crl:CD (SD) male and female rats treated withthe test chemical in the concentration of 0, 40, 200 and 1000 mg/kg/day orally by gavage in 0.1 w/v% Tween 80 added 0.5 w/v% CMC-Na solution. No efect on survival, clinical signs, body weight, food consumption, behavior test, hematology, blood chemistry, urinalysis, organ weight and gross pathology were observed in treated male and female rats as compared to control. Focal necrosis of mucosa and hyperplasia of gastric pits in the glandular stomach were observed in female rat at 200 and 1000 mg/kg bw. The focal necrosis of mucosa is occasionally seen in the mucosa of the glandular stomach when the chemical compounds are administrated. Many of these induced changes have reversibility. Focal necrosis of mucosa were not noted at the end of the recovery period, indicating reversibility. The hyperplasia of mucosal epithelium in the glandular stomach was considered to be a regeneration or restoration image against early epithelium disorder.

In addition no reproductive effect such as Estrous cyclicity, copulation and implantation, Fertility rat, gestation period, implantation index, live birth index, delivery index were observed in treated rats as compared to control. No effect on viability, clinical signs, body weights, development and growth of pups and gross pathological changes were observed in treated rats as compared to control. Therefore, NOAEL was considered to be 1000 mg/kg/day for P and F1 generation whenCrl:CD (SD) male and female rats treated with the test chemical orally by gavage.
Developmental Toxicity Study 4:
A study of the test chemical was performed to evaluate and assess the reproductive and developmental Toxicity of the test chemical in Sprague-Dawley Rats. In this evaluation, the maternal and embryo/fetal effects of
the test chemical orally administered to Sprague–Dawley rats once daily from day 6–15 of gestation at dose levels of 0, 10, 80, and 160 mg/kg/day. At dose levels of 80 and 160 mg/kg/day, the test chemical induced maternal toxicity, which consisted of severe reduction in maternal weight and food consumption during the treatment period. Doses of 80 and 160 mg/kg/day induced fetal skeletal abnormalities. The major skeletal defects were bipartite ossification of the thoracic centrum. The test chemical at 160 mg/kg/day also induced marked embryo lethality and visceral abnormalities. Based on the results of this study, a dose level of 10 mg/kg/day is considered the no-observed-adverse-effect-level (NOAEL) for maternal and fetal developmental toxicity in rats.
