Transient post-dosing salivation was observed from Day 7 at 600 mg/kg bw/day and Day 13 at 300 mg/kg bw/day. This sign was observed regularly throughout the treatment period with all animals being affected at both dosages, although the incidence of this finding was greatest at the high dosage.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

No Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) for reproductive toxicity was considered to 600mg/kg/day, When male and female rats were treated with test material orally for 11weeks.

Executive summary:

The reproductive and developmental toxicity study of test material was performed on male and femaleWistar Han (TM): RCCHan(TM): WIST strain rats. The test material was dissolved in Arachis oil BP and administered in dose concentration 0, 30,300,600mg/kg bw /day via oral gavage for up to eleven weeks (including a two week pre-pairing phase, pairing, gestation and early lactation for females).Each treatment group contain 10 male and 10 female rats while a control group of ten males and ten females was dosed with vehicle alone (Arachis oil BP). Clinical signs, bodyweight change, dietary intake and water consumption were monitored during the study. Pairing of animals within each dose group was undertaken on a one male: one female basis within each treatment group on Day 5 of the study, with females subsequently being allowed to litter and rear their offspring to Day 5 of lactation. An additional pairing for high dose females that failed to achieve pregnancy was performed to fully assess mating performance and fertility. During the lactation phase, daily clinical observations were performed on all surviving offspring, together with litter size and offspring weights and assessment of surface righting reflex. Adult males were terminated on Day 52 of the study following the completion of the second pairing at 600 mg/kg bw/day. Females and offspring were terminated on day 5 post partum. Any female which did not produce a pregnancy (unless allocated to a further mating phase) was terminated on or after Day 25 post coitum. All animals were subjected to a gross necropsy examination and histopathological evaluation of reproductive tissues was performed. Additional male organ weight and detailed histopathological examination of the testes were performed to more fully assess male fertility.

 

There were no unscheduled deaths in the study.Transient post-dosing salivation was observed from Day 7 at 600 mg/kg bw/day and Day 13 at 300 mg/kg bw/day. This sign was observed regularly throughout the treatment period with all animals being affected at both dosages, although the incidence of thisfinding was greatest at the high dosage. Transient post dosing salivation was also observed at 30 mg/kg bw/day for two females on Day 2 and one male on Day 50 of this study.At 600 mg/kg bw/day body weight gain of males was statistically significantly lower than control during thefirst week of treatment. Subsequent body weight gains were considered to reflect normal biological variation, but overall gain at termination remained lower than control.

Bodyweight gain of males at 30 and 300 mg/kg bw/day and for females at all dosages, throughout the pre-pairing, gestation and lactation phases of the study, were considered to have been unaffected by treatment. Food consumption for both sexes was considered to have been unaffected by treatment throughout the study, and including gestation and lactation phases for females, at 30, 300 and 600 mg/kg bw/day. Food efficiency: At 600 mg/kg bw/day food conversation efficiency for males was lower than control during week 1; subsequent food utilisation was similar to control. Food conversation efficiency of males at 30 and 300 mg/kg bw/day and for females at all dosages, throughout the pre-pairing, gestation and lactation phases of the study, were considered to have been unaffected by the treatment. Male reproductive organ weights were unaffected by treatment at 30, 300 and 600 mg/kg bw/day and did not indicate any effect on fertility. Histopathological examinations did not indicate any effect of treatment at 600 mg/kg bw/day and these examinations, including detailed assessment of the spermatogenetic cycle for the testes did not indicate any effect on male fertility. Pre-coital interval and mating evidence at the times of conception did not indicate any adverse effect of treatment on mating performance at 30, 300 and 600 mg/kg bw/day. Fertility: At 600 mg/kg bw/day, only seven females delivered a litter following the initial pairing but subsequent re-mating and additional assessment of male organ weight and detailed testicular histopathology did not indicate any treatment related effect on fertility for either sex. There was also no effect of treatment on fertility at 30 and 300 mg/kg bw/day. Gestation length was considered to be unaffected by treatment at 30, 300 and 600 mg/kg bw/day. Litter responses: Offspring litter size, sex ratio and viability: There was no effect of maternal treatment on corpora lutea and implantations counts, pre- and postimplantation loss, number offspring born, sex ratio or subsequent survival to Day 4 of age at 30, 300 and 600 mg/kg bw/day. Assessment of surface righting ability on Day 1; offspring clinical signs and necropsyfindings and did not indicate any effect of maternal treatment. Assessment of surface righting ability on Day 1; offspring clinical signs and necropsyfindings and did not indicate any effect of maternal treatment.Macroscopic necropsy findings did not indicate any effect of treatment at 30, 300 and 600 mg/kgbw/day. HenceNo Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) for reproductive toxicity was considered to 600mg/kg/day,When male and femalerats were treated with test material orally for 11weeks.
