- No. of animals per sex per dose:
- 20 pregnant females per dose.
- Control animals:
- yes, concurrent vehicle
- Maternal examinations:
- Dams were observed twice daily for signs of toxicity, including skin irritation from Days 7 through 29. Body weights were taken on gestation Days 0, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27 and 29. Individual food consumption was measured daily. A gross necropsy was conducted on dams that died in an attempt to determine the cause of death. All surviving dams were sacrificed at study termination on gestation Day 29. An examination of the uterus (including the number and location of live and dead foetuses, early and late resorptions, and implantation sites) and ovaries (including the number of corpora lutea) was conducted. Following removal of the foetuses the abdominal and thoracic cavities and organs of the dams were examined. Uteri from females that appeared non-gravid were placed in 10% ammonium sulphide solution for confirmation of pregnancy.
- Ovaries and uterine content:
- The ovaries and uterine content was examined after termination: Yes
Examinations included:
- Number of corpora lutea: Yes
- Number of implantations: Yes
- Number of early resorptions: Yes
- Number of late resorptions: Yes - Fetal examinations:
- - External examinations: Yes
- Soft tissue examinations: Yes
- Skeletal examinations: Yes - Statistics:
- Body weight changes and food consumption and number of early and late resorptions, dead foetuses, total implantations, corpora lutea, skeletal abnormalities, and mean fetal body weight were compared by analysis of variance (Bartlette's). If variance was not significant, then treatment-control comparisons were made using the least significant difference (LSD) criterion. If variance was significant, then comparison was made using the t-test for unequal variances and the Wilcoxon, Mann-Whitney rank sum test. Additionally, a regression and lack of fit were performed on each of these parameters. The number of pregnancies per group, the percentage of skeletal abnormalities and soft tissue malformations were analysed by Fisher's exact test.

- Conclusions:

- Executive summary:
A study was conducted to determine the developmental toxicity / teratogenicity of the read across substance, C16 TMAC, according to a method similar to OECD Guideline 414, in compliance with GLP. This experiment was performed in New Zealand White rabbits. Twenty mated female rabbits per group were exposed topically (daily for 2 h) from Days 7 to 18 of gestation at concentrations of 0, 0.5, 1.0, or 2.0% (equivalent to 0, 10, 20 and 40 mg a.i./kg bw/day, respectively). The control group was treated with deionised water only. Clinical condition and reactions to treatment were recorded at least once daily. Body weights were recorded on Days 0, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27 and 29 of gestation. All surviving females were sacrificed on Day 29 of gestation and the foetuses were removed by caesarean section. At necropsy the females were examined macroscopically. Live foetuses were weighed, sexed and were examined for visceral and skeletal abnormalities. No treatment-related maternal body weight or food intake were affected due to the treatment. The incidence of foetal malformations, as well as genetic and developmental variations in the treated groups was comparable to that of the control group. No other treatment-related effects were noted. Under the study conditions, the NOAEL for maternal as well as developmental toxicity was established at 40 mg a.i./kg bw/day in rabbits (Albridge, 1985).
