Examinations

Parental animals: Observations and examinations:
CAGE SIDE OBSERVATIONS: No DETAILED CLINICAL OBSERVATIONS: NoBODY WEIGHT: Yes
Oestrous cyclicity (parental animals):
No details
Litter observations:
weight of the placenta, uterus, fetuses, dams, body weight gain, and sex of the fetuses were recorded.
Postmortem examinations (parental animals):
On day 20 the rats were killed and cesarean sections were performed.
Postmortem examinations (offspring):
HISTOPATHOLOGY / ORGAN WEIGTHS:Yes
Reproductive indices:
The number of implantation sites, resorptions, living fetuses, and the number of corpora lutea were counted in each dam. The weight of the placenta, uterus, fetuses, dams, body weight gain, and sex of the fetuses were recorded.
Offspring viability indices:
No dams died

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
There were no treatment related effects. Based on the effects it is concluded that Basic Blue 99 at 50 mg/kg did not cause embryotoxic or teratogenic effects under the test conditions
Executive summary:

The reporductive effects of basic blue 99 were evaluated on sprague dawley CD rats on the 6th to the 15th gestation days.50mg/kg.Controls animals were dosed with distilled water vehicle. The parameters checked includeimplantation sites, resorptions, living fetuses, and the number of corpora lutea.The weight of the placenta, uterus, fetuses, dams, body weight gain, and sex of the fetuses were recorded.Test animals had no differences in mean body weight gain in the course of gestation as compared to controls.There were no treatment related effects and 50mg/kg can be concluded as NOEL.
