Description of key information

Reproductive Toxicity

Based on the data available from different studies, the No Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) was considered to be 1000 mg/kg/day for reproductive toxicity, when rodents were treated with test chemical orally. Thus, comparing this value with the criteria of CLP regulation test chemical is not likely to classify as reproductive toxicant.

Details on study design:

2. Two-year tests were run in which 400 rats were distributed into various treatment groups. The test chemical was mixed into a commercial laboratory chow diet for each feeding study.Rats were individually caged. Each animal received in the Pathology Laboratory was given a careful gross examination, and all lesions were recorded. Of those not received, most were discarded because of advanced postmortem autolysis. So far as can be determined, none of the discarded animals had tumors. Lesions which could not clearly be identified as neoplastic or nonneoplastic, and tumors, the type of which was uncertain or uncommon, were also sectioned and examined microscopically. Tissues sectioned include the following: liver, lung, heart, spleen, pancreas, stomach, small intestine, colon, kidney, adrenal, thyroid, testis (or ovary and uterus), leg muscles, leg bones with included marrow, and any tumor or other unusual condition.Sections of the mamary glands were also observed for tumours.

Conclusions:

Based on the data available from different studies, the No Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) was considered to be 1000 mg/kg/day for reproductive toxicity, when rodents were treated with test chemical orally. Thus, comparing this value with the criteria of CLP regulation test chemical is not likely to classify as reproductive toxicant.

Executive summary:

Data available from different studies were reviewed to determine the reproductive toxicity of test chemical. The studies are as mentioned below:

 

Combined Repeated Dose and Carcinogenicity was performed to determine the toxic nature of the test chemical in Osborne Mendel rats. Two-year tests were run in which 400 male and female Osborne Mendel rats were distributed into various treatment groups. The treatment groups were - 100 rats/dose (50/sex) and 100 rats/sex for controls. The test chemical (500 mg/kg bw/day, 1000 mg/kg bw/day) was mixed into a commercial laboratory chow diet for each feeding study. Rats were individually caged. Each animal received in the Pathology Laboratory was given a careful gross examination, and all lesions were recorded. Of those not received, most were discarded because of advanced postmortem autolysis. So far as can be determined, none of the discarded animals had tumors. Lesions which could not clearly be identified as neoplastic or non-neoplastic, and tumors, the type of which was uncertain or uncommon, were also sectioned and examined microscopically. Tissues sectioned include the following: liver, lung, heart, spleen, pancreas, stomach, small intestine, colon, kidney, adrenal, thyroid, testis (or ovary and uterus), leg muscles, leg bones with included marrow, and any tumor or other unusual condition. Sections of the mammary glands were also observed for tumors. Findings, such as liver enlargement, abscesses, distended urinary bladders, ovarian cysts, distended uteri, enlarged parathyroid, enlargement of seminal vesicles and other miscellaneous changes, were present in approximately equal incidence and degree in test and control rats. Rats of the Osborne- Mendel strain had more tumors (especially mammary).Incidence of tumor formation in mammary glands were found to be in control and treatment groups. Thus, they are considered to be incidental and non-treatment related in nature and strain specific. No effect due to ingestion of the test chemical on either tumor incidence or tumor type was noted in Osborne Mendel strain on this two-year experiment. Considering all the observations, the No Observed Adverse Effect Level was considered to be 1000 mg/kg bw/day in Osborne Mendel rats.

 

In supporting with the above result, another prenatal developmental toxicity study was performed using the test chemical in Virgin female albino rats (COBS). The animals were dosed with the test chemical during gestation day 6 to 15 to assess its teratogenic potential. The dose range selected for the study was 0, 15, 50 and 150 mg/kg bw as control, low dose, mid dose and high dose groups, respectively. Eight groups, ranging in size from 16 to 22 pregnant animals each, were studied: 3 control groups received vehicle alone, 2 positive control groups were treated with 200 mg/kg/day of sodium salicylate4 3 test groups received 15,50 or 150 mg/kg/day of the test chemical. The vehicle employed was 1.5 % aqueous methylcellulose, and the concentrations of test material were such that all animals received equivalent volumes of vehicle or test suspension per unit of body weight. Food and water were available ad libitum. After the administration, the effects on the pregnant females were observed. No untoward reactions of the test chemical was observed. No effects on the maternal body weight was observed due to administration of the test chemical. The mean maternal weight gain from day 0 to 20 of gestation were 146, 134, 144, 137 and 145 g. The test chemical had no effect upon the incidence of resorptions or upon fetal viability. The incidence of resorptions was increased in 1 of the 2 groups of dams treated with the positive control. No effect on fetal mortality or viability was observed, after administration of the test chemical. Fetal body weights and sex distribution were unaffected by any treatment. Mean body weights were 3.9, 3.5, 4.3, 4.4 and 4.2 g for males and 3.7, 3.3, 4.0, 4.1 and 4.1 g for females from all 3 vehicle control, the 2 positive control and the 15, 50 and 150 mg/kg test groups, respectively. The distribution of sexes was 283 males and 266 females (51.5% males) for the 3 vehicle control groups, 177 males and 196 females (47.8% males) for the 2 positive control groups, 110 males and 113 females (49.3 % males) for the 15 mg/kg test group, 103 males and 101 females (50.5 % males) for the 15 mg/kg test group and 97 males and 81 females (54.5 % males) for the 150 mg/kg test group. External abnormalities were somewhat more numerous among pups from animals treated with sodium salicylate. These abnormalities included runt, craniorachischisis, gastroschisis, spiraled caudia and talipes. The numbers of fetuses with external abnormalities from dams treated with the test chemical did not differ from those of controls. Thus, based on all the available data, and observations and results, it was concluded that the NOAEL for the test chemical was 150 mg/kg bw for maternal and fetal development.

 

Based on the data available from different studies, NOAEL was considered to be 1000 mg/kg/day for reproductive toxicity, when rodents were treated with test chemical orally. Thus, comparing this value and effects with the criteria of CLP regulation test chemical is not likely to classify as reproductive toxicant.
