- Description (incidence):
- Female no. 52 (100 mg/kg) died at blood sampling before necropsy on Lactation Day 14. There were no test item-related macroscopic or microscopic findings in the organs examined for this animal. This accidental death was attributed to the blood sampling procedure, and as such not considered to be related to treatment with the test item.

- Description (incidence and severity):
- Test item-related microscopic findings after treatment with STB-FR were noted in the urinary bladder, kidneys, thymus and stomach of both males and females. Urothelial hypertrophy of the urinary bladder was present in males at 300 and 1000 mg/kg (up to moderate degree) and in females at 1000 mg/kg (up to slight degree). An increased incidence and/or severity of tubular basophilia in the kidneys was present in males at 1000 mg/kg (up to moderate degree) and in females at 300 and 1000 mg/kg (up to slight degree). Renal casts were present at increased incidence and severity in males at 1000 mg/kg (up to slight degree). Renal tubular dilation was present at increased incidence and severity in males and females at 1000 mg/kg (up to marked and slight degree, respectively). For males, tubular dilation correlated with the macroscopic pale discolouration and with the increase in kidneys weight. Lymphoid depletion in the thymus was present at minimal degree in females at 300 and 1000 mg/kg and in males at 1000 mg/kg. For males, this correlated with the macroscopic reduction in size and with the decrease in thymus weight. Squamous cell hyperplasia of the limiting ridge of the stomach was present at minimal degree in males and females at 1000 mg/kg.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- A NOAEL of >= 1000 mg/kg was established based on the absence of any adverse reproductive effects at the highest dose tested. Given these results, the substance does not meet the GHS criteria for classification under the criteria for reproductive toxicity.
- Executive summary:
In this GLP Combined 28-Day Repeated Dose Toxicity Study with the Reproduction/Developmental Toxicity Screening Test, conducted in accordance with OECD guideline 422 with male and female Wister (Han) rats by oral gavage at doses of 0 (vehicle only), 100, 300, and 1000 mg/kg-bw/day, a NOAEL of 1000 mg/kg-bw/day was established for reproductive toxicity based on the absence of any adverse reproductive effects at the highest dose tested. Given these results, the substance does not meet the GHS criteria for classification under the criteria for reproductive toxicity.
