Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
No adverse effects on reproduction/development was observed the the OECD422 screening study. Thus, the NOAEL for reproductive/developmental toxicity was concluded to be 400 mg/kg bw/day.
Executive summary:

Quinolin-8-ol was studied for oral toxicity in rats according to the OECD Test Guideline 422 at doses of 0, 100, 200, and 400 mg/kg. In the repeated dose oral toxicity test, salivation was observed in the 200 and 400 mg/kg groups of both sexes. However, salivation was not considered to be the treatment-related toxic effect, because it was the slight and transitory change. On functional observation battery (FOB) test, lower numbers of supported rearing were observed in female in the 200 and 400 mg/kg groups, but it was not considered to be treatment-related suppression on CNS because there were no effects in other parameters. Body weight gain in males receiving 400 mg/kg tended to be lower than those in the control group. Body weight gain and food consumption in females receiving 400 mg/kg were lower than those in the control group. On urinalysis of males, low potassium excretion was noted in the 200 and400 mg/kg groups, the number of protein-positives was increased in the 400 mg/kg group during the administration period. However, these changes were considered to be a minor toxicological implication, because there were no histopathological lesions about renal function at the end of the administration period. Histopathological evaluation demonstrated some gastrointestinal disorder in females receiving 400 mg/kg. There were no treatment-related findings at the recovery period. Therefore, it was concluded that body weight and food consumption changes, and gastrointestinal disorder were corrected during the recovery period.

 

In terms of reproductive/developmental toxicity, there were no adverse effects on reproductive ability, including delivery and lactation. Observation of pups revealed no effects of the test substance on viability, body weights, morphology or necropsy findings.

 

For males, the NOEL for repeated dose oral toxicity test was considered to be100 mg/kg/day, because salivation was observed in the 200 mg/kg group, and the NOAEL was considered to be 200 mg/kg/day, because the tendency of suppression of body weight gain was observed in the 400 mg/kg group. For females (dams), the NOEL for repeated dose oral toxicity test was considered to be 100 mg/kg/day, because salivation and decreased number of supported rearing in the FOB were observed in the 200 mg/kg group, and the NOAEL was considered to be 200 mg/kg/day, because the suppression of body weight gain, lower food consumption and gastrointestinal disorder were observed in the 400 mg/kg group.

 

The NOEL and NOAEL for pups were considered to be 400 mg/kg/day, because there were no treatment-related changes in all parameters.
