Histopathology: No histopathology evaluation was required to be performed during this study. - Statistics:
- Statistical analysis performed on numerical data as appropriate depending upon the effects observed and number of animals tested. The mean and
standard deviations values, the frequency of clinical observations, and necropsy findings were calculated as applicable. Statistical evaluation of data
as applicable was performed with the program package SPSS PC+4.0 (SPSS Hungary Kft, Budapest). The homogeneity of variance between groups werechecked by Bartlett`s homogeneity of variance test. Where no significant heterogeneity is detected a one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was made.If the obtained result was significant Duncan’s Multiple Range test were used to assess the significance of inter-group differences.

CLINICAL OBSERVATIONS
There were no adverse clinical signs recorded during the study with test item administered daily for at least 14 days at dose levels of 100, 300 and 1000 mg/kg bw/day. Noisy respiration was observed in one Mid dose male animal on Days 1 and 2.
BODY WEIGHT MEASUREMENTS
There were no signs of toxicity on body weights or body weight gain during the study.
Minor differences to control were recorded in body weight or body weight gain, occasionally attaining statistical significance, which were without any
toxicological significance. For example, the body weight gain value was higher in Mid dose females between Days 0 and 1 (p<0.05) or was lower in
Mid dose females between Days 6 and 7 (p<0.05).
FOOD CONSUMPTION MEASUREMENTS
There were no signs of toxicity on food consumption.
CLINICAL PATHOLOGY
Haematology
Haematology parameters evaluated at the completion of the at least 14-day treatment period did not show any signs of toxicity. Variations were noted in a few parameters in the treated animals, on some occasions attaining statistical significance. In females, the Mean Corpuscular (erythrocyte)
Haemoglobin Concentration (MCHC) was statistically higher and the Reticulocyte count (Retic) was statistically lower than control in Mid dose group
(p<0.05). Based on the isolated incidence and lack of a consistent dose or gender response, these variations were regarded as incidental and without
signs of toxicity.
Clinical chemistry
There were no toxicologically relevant differences between the controls and treated groups in the clinical chemistry parameters evaluated at the
completion of the treatment period.
Decreases in Alanine Aminotransferase activity (ALT) were noted in males at Low and Mid dose levels, attaining statistical significance (p<0.05). The
mean Urea concentration (UREA), the Albumin concentration (Alb.) and consequently the Total Protein concentration (Tot.Prot) were slightly higher
(p<0.05) in the High dose males when compared to the control mean. As no consistent dose response was observed and the variations were
considered minor, these variations were regarded as not being toxicologically significant, or could not be clearly ascribed to test item administration.
PATHOLOGY EVALUATION
There were no test item-related macroscopic findings at necropsy following the at least 14-day treatment period.
During scheduled necropsy, small testes, epididymides and prostate in 1/5 Control male, small seminal vesicles/prostate in 1/5 Mid Dose male,
uterine dilatation in 1/5 Low Dose female were found. These changes can be considered as incidental.
ORGAN WEIGHT MEASUREMENTS
There were no clear toxicologically significant changes in organ weights noted after test item administration once a day for at least 14 days, at up to
and including 1000 mg/kg bw/day, evaluated at necropsy.
The absolute brain weight of the Low dose males was lower as compared to control attaining statistical significance (p<0.05). Compared to control
the body weight related ovary weight was lower with statistical significance (p<0.05) in High dose females. The results were ascribed to biological
variability or to individual, incidental changes and considered to be unrelated to treatment.
