Description of key information

Reproductive toxicity study

Based on the data available from different studies, NOAEL for test material was considered to be of 616.0mg/kg bw/day for F0, F1 generation. When male and female rats were treated with test material orally. Thus, comparing this value with the criteria of CLP regulation test material is not likely to classify as reproductive toxicant.

Executive summary:

Reproductive and developmental toxicity study of test material was performed on male and female CFE-Srats .20 male and 20 female rats /dose group were used.One male was mated with one female until copulation was confirmed by the presence of sperm during daily vaginal inspections (day 0 of pregnancy).The females then were weighed, transferred into individual cages.The test materialmixed with feed were administers in dose concentration 0, 97.5,616 mg/kg bw/day (0, 1950,7800 ppm)from day from day 6 through day 15. Pregnancy was further confirmed by biweekly weighing of the females. All females were killed by chloroform inhalation on the 19th day of pregnancy and the fetuses delivered by Caesarian section. The number and distribution of fetuses, and the number of corpora lutea, live and stillboin fetuses, and early and late resorptions were recorded. Each fetus was weighed, measured, and examined for gross abnormalities. One-third of each litter was examined for visceral abnormalities by employing the slicing method of Wilson (1965). The remaining two-thirds were cleared and the bone structure stained with alizarin red S in order to define any skeletal abnormalities (Murphy, 1965)

 

No dose-related significant differences were observed in the parameters examined. The 616mg/kg /day (7800 ppm) dose group excreted blue-brown colour urine.No grossly abnormal pups were noted in the 97.5 mg/kg /day dose group (244 pups); there was one in control group (244 pups). One grossly abnormal pup was noted out of the 262 examined in the 616 mg/kg /day dose group.however, the average numbers of implantation sites, live pups, and early or late resorptions were not significantly different among the groups. HenceNo Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) for reproductive and developmental toxicity was considered to be 616 mg/kg/day (7800ppm.When male and femaleCFE-Srats were treated with test material orally.

The hair on the back of the rats (of both the treated and control groups) was clipped short to ensure maximum skin contact with the applied materials. The test materials, prepared fresh for each application by mixing equal volumes of the dye solution and 6% hydrogen peroxide, were topically applied to the shaved areas, (approximately 1 in. diameter) at a twice-weekly dose of 0.5 ml application. Successive applications were made to adjacent areas in order to minimize skin irritation. During the mating and lactation phase in the reproduction study, the dyes were allowed to dry on the skin before the rats were returned to their cages with their mates or offspring.

Details on study design:
After the first (F1a) litters had been weaned the number of F0 parents was reduced from 40 to 20 in each group. After a 10-day rest period the remaining animals were re-mated to produce the F1b litters, following the same procedure as described for the reproduction of the F1a litters. After weaning, 60 male and 60 female F1a pups were selected from each group.The remaining F1a pups were killed. The F0 parents were killed once the F1b litters had been weaned. Twenty male and 20 female rats per group were selected from the F1b litters to become the F0 parents Of the next generation After 100 days these rats were mated, avoiding brother/sister pairing, to produce the F2a and F2b litters. After the F2b litters had been weaned, five male and five female F1 parents were necropsied .

Statistics:
In the reproduction study fertility, and foetal and postnatal survival were compared using the chi-square criterion with the Yates' corrections for 2 x 2 contingency tables and/or Fisher's exact probability test as described by Siegel (1956) to judge the significance of the differences. Foetal and postnatal survival were also compared using the Mann Whitney U test as described by Siegel (1956) and Weil (1970) to judge the significance of the differences. The mean number of live pups per litter and the mean litter weights at days 0, 4 and 14 in the reproduction study, body weights (at wk 13, 27, 40, 53, 66, 79, 92 and 105), and haematological and biochemical parameters (at months 3, 12, 18 and 24)in the toxicity-carcinogenicity study were compared by one-way analysis of variance, Bartlett's test for homogeneity of variances and the appropriate t test (for equal or unequal variances) as described by Steel & Torrie (1960) using Dunnett's multiple comparison tables (Dunnett, 1964) to judge the significance of the differences. The mean body weights of the pups at day 21 (of the reproduction study) were compared by analysis of variance (hierarchical classification) and a t test as described by Steel & Torrie (1960) using Dunnett's multiple comparison tables to judge the significance of the differences.

Executive summary:

The two-generation reproductive and developmental toxicity study of test material was performed on male and female Sprague Dawley rats . The test material in dose concentration  0.001418 mg/kg was applied The hair on the back of the rats (of both the treated and control groups) was clipped short to ensure maximum skin contact with the applied materials. The test materials, prepared fresh for each application by mixing equal volumes of the dye solution and 6% hydrogen peroxide, were topically applied to the shaved areas, (approximately 1 in. diameter) at a twice-weekly dose of 0.05 ml application. Successive applications were made to adjacent areas in order to minimize skin irritation. During the mating and lactation phase in the reproduction study, the dyes were allowed to dry on the skin before the rats were returned to their cages with their mates or offspring. After the first (F1a) litters had been weaned the number of F0 parents was reduced from 40 to 20 in each group. After a 10-day rest period the remaining animals were re-mated to produce the F1b litters, following the same procedure as described for the reproduction of the F1a litters. After weaning, 60 male and 60 female F1a pups were selected from each group.The remaining F1a pups were killed. The F0 parents were killed once the F1b litters had been weaned. Twenty male and 20 female rats per group were selected from the F1b litters to become the F0 parents Of the next generationAfter 100 days these rats were mated, avoiding brother/sister pairing, to produce the F2a and F2b litters. After the F2b litters had been weaned, five male and five female F1 parents were necropsied .The topical application of hair-dyeing formulations had no effect on the general health of anyof the animals in any of the generations tested.Body-weight gains, food consumption and survivalwere comparable among the test and control groups in each generationthe skin irritation seen in all of thetreated groups which consisted of mild dermatitisseen intermittently throughout the treatment period in each generation No pharmacotoxicological signswere observed to be related to the application ofthe dyes. Fertility, gestation, survival and live birthindices and the mean numbers weaned and meanweaning weights for each litter in each generationwere comparable among the test and control groups. Hence NOAEL was considered to be  0.001418 mg/kg as the frequent topical application of test material does not appear to have an adverse effect on reproductive performance or on the health and survival of the developing foetus and postnatal animal. When male and female rats were treated with test material for two generation .

Reproductive toxicity study

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

Study 1

Reproductive and developmental toxicity study of test material was performed on male and female CFE-Srats .20 male and 20 female rats /dose group were used.One male was mated with one female until copulation was confirmed by the presence of sperm during daily vaginal inspections (day 0 of pregnancy).The females then were weighed, transferred into individual cages.The test materialmixed with feed were administers in dose concentration 0, 97.5,616 mg/kg bw/day (0, 1950,7800 ppm)from day from day 6 through day 15. Pregnancy was further confirmed by biweekly weighing of the females. All females were killed by chloroform inhalation on the 19th day of pregnancy and the fetuses delivered by Caesarian section. The number and distribution of fetuses, and the number of corpora lutea, live and stillboin fetuses, and early and late resorptions were recorded. Each fetus was weighed, measured, and examined for gross abnormalities. One-third of each litter was examined for visceral abnormalities by employing the slicing method of Wilson (1965). The remaining two-thirds were cleared and the bone structure stained with alizarin red S in order to define any skeletal abnormalities (Murphy, 1965)

No dose-related significant differences were observed in the parameters examined. The 616mg/kg /day (7800 ppm) dose group excreted blue-brown colour urine.No grossly abnormal pups were noted in the 97.5 mg/kg /day dose group (244 pups); there was one in control group (244 pups). One grossly abnormal pup was noted out of the 262 examined in the 616 mg/kg /day dose group.however, the average numbers of implantation sites, live pups, and early or late resorptions were not significantly different among the groups. HenceNo Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) for reproductive and developmental toxicity was considered to be 616 mg/kg/day (7800ppm.When male and femaleCFE-Srats were treated with test material orally.

Study 2

In a Teratology study,New Zealand White female rabbits were treated with test material in the concentration of0, 19.5 and 97.5 mg/kg/day orally by gavage fromday 6 to day 18 of gestation. Bluebrown colored urine were observed in all treated rabbits. No adverse effect onbody weight gain, Number of pregnancies, numbers of corpora lutea, implantations, resorptions, and live and stillborn fetuses were observed in treated female rabbits. No effect on fetusesweight were observed in treated female rabbits. In addition, No gross abnormalities, visceral and skeletal abnormalities were observed in fetusesof treated female rabbits. Therefore, NOAEL was considered to be 97.5 mg/kg/day for F0 and F1 geneartion when New Zealand White female rabbits were treated with test material orally by gavage for 13 days.

Study 3

When male and female rats were treated with test material for two generation .

Study 4

In a Teratology study, pregnent female  CD rats were treated wtih test material in the concentration of 0 and 0.001418 mg/kg dermally in6% hydrogen peroxide on days 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, and 19 of gestation. Acetylsalicylic acid were used as positive control. Changes in the color of the skin and hair at the site of dye application were observed in treated rats. No irritation or other changes were observed in treated rats.No effect on body weight and food consumption of treated rats was observed as compared to control. Similarly,No significant effects on number of corpora lutea, implantation sites, live fetuses, sex ratio, resorption sites or mean resorptions per pregnancy of treated female rats wereobserved as compared to control. In addition, No effect on body weight offetuseswas observedas compared to control. No significant soft-tissue anomalies were observed infetuses of treated female rats as compared to control.Normally occurring accessory ribs variations wereobserved infetuses of treated female rats as compared to control. Therefore, NOAEL was considered to be 0.001416 mg/kg for F0 and F1 geneartion when pregnent female  CD rats were treated wtih test material dermallyon days 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, and 19 of gestation.

 Based on the data available from different studies ,test material did not showedreproductive toxicityat dose concentration 616.0 mg/kg body weight/day,when male and female rats were treated with test material orally,Thus, comparing this value with the criteria ofCLP regulationtest materialis not likely to classify as reproductive toxicant.

Conclusions:
NOAEL was considered to be 0.001418 mg/kg for F0 and F1 geneartion when pregnent female CD rats were treated wtih test material .
Executive summary:

In a Teratology study, pregnent female  CD rats were treated wtih test material in the concentration of 0 and 0.001418 mg/kg dermally in6% hydrogen peroxide on days 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, and 19 of gestation. Acetylsalicylic acid were used as positive control. Changes in the color of the skin and hair at the site of dye application were observed in treated rats. No irritation or other changes were observed in treated rats.No effects on body weight and food consumption of treated rats were observed as compared to control. Similarly,No significant effects on number of corpora lutea, implantation sites, live fetuses, sex ratio, resorption sites or mean resorptions per pregnancy of treated female rats wereobserved as compared to control. In addition, No effect on body weight offetuseswas observedas compared to control. No significant soft-tissue anomalies were observed infetuses of treated female rats were observed as compared to control. Normally occurring accessory ribs variations wereobserved infetuses of treated female rats as compared to control. Therefore, NOAEL was considered to be 0.001416 mg/kg for F0 and F1 geneartion when pregnent female  CD rats were treated wtih test material dermally on days 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, and 19 of gestation.

Developmental toxicity study

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

Study 1

In a Teratology study,New Zealand White female rabbits were treated with test materialin the concentration of0, 19.5 and 97.5 mg/kg/day orally by gavage fromday 6 to day 18 of gestation. Bluebrown colored urine were observed in all treated rabbits.

No adverse effect onbody weight gain, Number of pregnancies, numbers of corpora lutea, implantations, resorptions, and live and stillborn fetuses were observed in treated female rabbits. No effect on fetusesweight were observed in treated female rabbits. In addition, No gross abnormalities, visceral and skeletal abnormalities were observed in fetusesoftreated female rabbits. Therefore, NOAEL was considered to be 97.5 mg/kg/day for F0 and F1 geneartion when New Zealand White female rabbits were treated with test materialorally by gavage for 13 days.

Study 2

In a Teratology study,CFE-S female rats were treated with test material in the concentration of 0, 195 and 616 mg/kg/day orally in diet fromday 6 to day 15 of gestation. No adverse effect onaverage number of implantation sites, live pups or in the number of females with one or more resorption sites were observed in treated female rats. No effect on fetuses weight were observed in treated female rats. In addition, No were gross abnormalities, visceral and skeletal abnormalities were observed in fetusesoftreated female rats. Therefore, NOAEL was considered to be 616mg/kg/day for F0 and F1 geneartion when CFE-S female rats were treated with test material orally in diet for 10 days.

Study 3

In a Teratology study, pregnent female  CD rats were treated wtih test materialin the concentration of 0 and 0.001418 mg/kg dermally in6% hydrogen peroxide on days 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, and 19 of gestation. Acetylsalicylic acid were used as positive control. Changes in the color of the skin and hair at the site of dye application were observed in treated rats. No irritation or other changes were observed in treated rats.No effects on body weight and food consumption of treated rats were observed as compared to control. Similarly,No significant effects on number of corpora lutea, implantation sites, live fetuses, sex ratio, resorption sites or mean resorptions per pregnancy of treated female rats wereobserved as compared to control. In addition, No effect on body weight offetuseswas observedas compared to control. No significant soft-tissue anomalies were observed infetuses of treated female rats were observed as compared to control. Normally occurring accessory ribs variations wereobserved infetuses of treated female rats as compared to control. Therefore, NOAEL was considered to be 0.001416 mg/kg for F0 and F1 geneartion when pregnent female  CD rats were treated wtih test materialdermallyon days 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, and 19 of gestation.

Thus, based on the data available fortest chemical,No Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) was considered to be 616mg /kg bw .When rats were treated with test chemical orally. Thus, comparing this value with the criteria of CLP regulationtest chemical is not likely to classify as reproductive and developmental toxicant.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Thus, comparing this value with the criteria of CLP regulation test chemical is not likely to classify as reproductive and developmental toxicant.
