- Control animals:
- yes, concurrent vehicle
- Details on study design:
- - Dose selection rationale: The dose levels were selected based on available toxicological data and a preliminary dose-range finding study (LPT study no. 25122). No mortality was noted in this dose-range-finding study no. 25122. Signs of systemic intolerance were noted in the animals of both sexes starting at 40 mg Aromox B-W 500/kg b.w./day. A slightly to severely reduced mean food consumption and mean body weight were noted in the male rats starting at 100 mg/kg b.w./day or at 250 mg/kg b.w./day, respectively. The females were not affected.
Necropsy revealed a thickened cardiac region of the stomach in one male rat treated with 250 mg/kg b.w./day as well as in all high dosed male and female rats treated with 400 mg Aromox B-W 500/kg b.w./day.
- Rationale for animal assignment: Random. At commencement of the study, the weight variation of animals used was minimal and did not exceed 20% of the mean weight of each sex. - Positive control:
- none
Examinations
- Parental animals: Observations and examinations:
- CAGE SIDE OBSERVATIONS: Yes
- Time schedule: At least once daily throughout the test period.
- Cage side observations included: Behavioural changes, signs of difficult or prolonged parturition and all signs of toxicity, including mortality. Any signs of illness or reaction to treatment were recorded for each individual animal. Cageside observations included skin/fur, eyes, mucous membranes, respiratory and circulatory systems, somatomotor activity and behaviour patterns. The onset, intensity and duration of any signs observed were recorded. Additionally, once before the first exposure (to allow for within-subject comparisons) and once a week thereafter, detailed clinical observations were made in all animals. Detailed clinical observations were made in all male main study animals until terminal sacrifice in test week 5 or 6, respectively, in all female main study animals until the day of parturition and in all male and female satellite animals until terminal sacrifice in test week 8. These observations were made outside the home cage in a standard arena at the same time, each time. Signs noted included changes in skin, fur, eyes, mucous membranes, occurrence of secretions and excretions, and autonomic activity (e.g. lacrimation, pilo-erection, pupil size, and unusual respiratory pattern). Changes in gait, posture and response to handling as well as the presence of clonic or tonic movements, stereotypes (e.g. excessive grooming, repetitive circling) or bizarre behaviour (e.g. self-mutilation, walking backwards) were also recorded.
Mortality: Further checks were made early in the morning and again in the afternoon of each working day to identify dead or moribund animals.
DETAILED CLINICAL OBSERVATIONS: Yes
- Time schedule: At least once daily throughout the test period.
BODY WEIGHT: Yes
- Time schedule for examinations: Males and females were weighed on the first day of dosing, weekly thereafter and at study termination. During gestation, females were weighed on days 0, 7, 14 and 20 and within 24 hours of parturition (day 0 or 1 post-partum) and on day 4 post-partum during lactation. Body weights were recorded individually for each adult animal. Live pups were weighted individually within 24 hours of parturition (day 0 or 1 post-partum) and on day 4 post-partum during lactation. - Oestrous cyclicity (parental animals):
- no
- Sperm parameters (parental animals):
- Parameters examined in P male parental generations: testis weight, epididymis weight
- Litter observations:
- STANDARDISATION OF LITTERS
not performed
PARAMETERS EXAMINED
The following parameters were examined in F1 offspring:
number and sex of pups, stillbirths, live births, postnatal mortality, presence of gross anomalies, body weight
GROSS EXAMINATION OF DEAD PUPS:
yes, for external and internal abnormalities - Postmortem examinations (parental animals):
- GROSS PATHOLOGY: Yes
50 % of the male main study animals were sacrificed in a randomised way after a total dosing period of 31 days on test day 32, the other half of the male main study animals were sacrificed after a total dosing period of 36 days on test day 37. Dams with offspring were sacrificed on day 4 post-partum, or shortly thereafter. Females which did not deliver were sacrificed on the fourth or sixth day after the calculated day of delivery.
Dissection of all animals allocated to the recovery period was performed on test day 58.
At the time of sacrifice or death during the study, the adult animals were examined macroscopically for any abnormalities or pathological changes. Special attention was paid to the organs of the reproductive system.
Apparently non-pregnant uteri were placed in a 10% aqueous solution of ammonium sulfide for about 10 minutes to stain possible implantation sites in the endometrium.
All superficial tissues were examined visually and by palpation and the cranial roof removed to allow observation of the brain, pituitary gland and cranial nerves. After ventral midline incision and skin reflection, all subcutaneous tissues were examined. The condition of the thoracic viscera was noted with due attention to the thymus, lymph nodes and heart.
The abdominal viscera were examined before and after removal; the urinary bladder was examined externally and by palpation. The gastro-intestinal tract was examined as a whole and the stomach and caecum were incised and examined. The lungs were removed and all pleural surfaces examined under suitable illumination.
The liver and the kidneys were examined. Any abnormalities in the appearance and size of the gonads, adrenals, uterus, intra-abdominal lymph nodes and accessory re-productive organs were recorded.
The weights of the following organs of all adult male animals were determined before fixation: Epididymis (2), testicle (2)
The weights of the following organs of in total 20 adult males and 20 adult females (5 animals/sex/main study group; randomly selected of each main study group, including not pregnant animals) and all satellite animals were determined before fixation: Adrenal gland (2), kidney (2), spleen, Brain, liver, thymus, heart, ovary.
Adrenal glands, gonads and kidneys were weighed individually and identified as left or right.
HISTOPATHOLOGY: Yes
The following organs or parts of organs of the randomly selected 20 male and 20 female animals (5 animals/sex/main study group) and all satellite animals were preserved in 7% Formalin:

The afore-listed organs of the randomly selected parental animals of groups 1 and 4 (5 male and 5 female animals per group) and all satellite animals (in total 20 satellite animals) were examined histologically after preparation of paraffin sections and haematoxylin-eosin staining.
The afore-listed organs of the reproductive system of all main study animals of groups 1 and 4 (in total 40 main study animals) and all satellite animals (in total 20 satellite animals) were examined histologically after preparation of paraffin sections and haematoxylin-eosin staining.
Any other organs displaying macroscopic changes were also preserved.
Detailed histopathologic examination was performed on the ovaries, testes and epididymides (with special emphasis on the qualitative stages of spermatogenesis and histopathology of interstitial testicular structure) of the animals of the highest dose group (group 4) and the control group (group 1) following H.& E. and PAS staining.
In addition, frozen sections of the heart, liver and one kidney were made and stained with scarlet R. Parathyroids cannot always be identified macroscopically. They were examined microscopically if in the plan of section and in all cases where they were noted as grossly enlarged.
Due to test item-related changes, the following organs of 5 male and 5 female animals of the low and intermediate dose level groups (groups 2 and 3) were examined histologically after preparation of paraffin sections and haematoxylin-eosin staining: Forestomach, lymph node (1, mesenteric) - Postmortem examinations (offspring):
- SACRIFICE
- The F1 offspring were sacrificed at 4 days of age.
- These animals were subjected to postmortem examinations (macroscopic examination) as follows:
GROSS NECROPSY
- Gross necropsy consisted of external examinations for gross abnormalities
HISTOPATHOLOGY / ORGAN WEIGTHS
no - Statistics:
- The test item-treated groups 2 to 4 were compared with the control group 1.
STUDENT's t-test: All numerical functional tests (p ≤ 0.01)
The following limits were used:
p ≤ 0.01 ≙ t = 2.878 (18 degrees of freedom)
p ≤ 0.01 ≙ t = 2.921 (16 degrees of freedom)
p ≤ 0.01 ≙ t = 2.947 (15 degrees of freedom)
p ≤ 0.01 ≙ t = 3.355 (8 degrees of freedom)
Multiple t-test based on DUNNETT New tables for multiple comparisons with a control: Body weight / food consumption / haematology / clinical biochemistry /organ weights (absolute and relative) (p ≤ 0.01).
The following limits were used:
p ≤ 0.01 ≙ t = 3.09 (36, 33, 32 and 31 degrees of freedom)
p ≤ 0.01 ≙ t = 3.36 (8 degrees of freedom)
p ≤ 0.01 ≙ t = 3.39 (16 degrees of freedom)
For all numerical values (body weight, food consumption and organ weight data) gen-erated from the start of the mating period onwards homogeneity of variances was tested by using the BARTLETT chi-square test. If the variances were homogeneous, the DUNNETT test (p ≤ 0.01) was used to compare the experimental groups with the control group.
In case of heterogeneity of variances, the STUDENT's t-test was carried out, limit of significance was p ≤ 0.01.
Exact test of R.A. FISHER: Histopathology (p ≤ 0.05)
For the comparison of classification measurements (for example the fertility index) the FISHER's exact test, n < 100 or chi 2-test with Yates' correction for continuity, n ≥ 100 (p ≤ 0.05) were employed.
These statistical procedures were used for all data. Significantly different data are indicated in the tables. - Reproductive indices:
- For each group the following reproductive indices were determined:
Gestation Index = (number of litters with live pups / number pregnant) x 100
Fertility Index = (number pregnant / number of females evaluated for fertility) x 100 - Offspring viability indices:
- For each litter and group the following reproductive indices were determined:
Birth Index = (Total number of pups born (live + dead)/ Number of implantation scars) x 100
Live Birth Index = (Number of pups born alive on day 0/1 / Total number born (live + dead)) x 100
Viability Index = (number of pups alive on day 4/ number of pups live on day 0/1) x 100
Pre-implantation loss [%] = (corpora lutea - implantations / corpora lutea ) x 100
Post-implantation loss [%] = (implantations - no. pups born alive / implantations) x 100

Details on results (P0)
Main study / satellite animals: No test item-related mortality was noted. No signs of systemic toxicity were noted for the male and female animals treated with 40 mg test substance/kg b.w./day. Starting at 100 mg test substance/kg b.w./day increased salivation was noted for a very few male and female animals at 100 mg test substance/kg b.w./day and most animals at 200 mg test substance/kg b.w./day during all periods of the study (pre-mating, mating, post-mating, gestation and/or lactation period, respectively) starting on test day 1. Further, at 200 mg test substance/kg b.w./day laboured breathing was observed for one male and rough fur was noted sev-eral females during the pre-mating, mating, gesta-tion and/or lactation period, respectively.
Functional observations (carried out 1 to 2 hours after administration):
Main study animals: No influence was noted on the parameters of the functional observations at any of the tested dose levels for the males.
Females treated with 200 mg test substance/kg b.w./day revealed salivation and pilo-erection.
In addition, hindlimb grip strength of the females was reduced (statistically significant at p ≤ 0.01) by up to 71 % starting at 40 mg test substance/kg b.w./day, though no dose-response relationship was noted. A slight but not significant reduction was also observed for the males at 100 and 200 mg test substance/kg b.w./day.
BODY WEIGHT AND WEIGHT GAIN
Main study / satellite animals: No influence was noted on the body weight of main study and satellite animals during the entire study after treatment with 40, 100 or 200 mg test substance/kg b.w./day.
FOOD CONSUMPTION/WATER CONSUMPTION
Main study / satellite animals:No test item-related influence was observed on the food consumption of the male and female animals treated with either 40 or 100 mg test substance/kg b.w./day during the pre-mating, ges-tation and/or lactation period, respectively.
Treatment with 200 mg test substance/kg b.w./day resulted in a food intake statistically sig-nificant reduced by 11% in test week 2 (pre-mating period) for the male main study animals and for the female main study animals by 10% in test week 1 (pre-mating period) and by 13% on gestation day 7 (gestation period) compared to the control.
The food intake of the female satellite animals treated with 200 mg test substance/kg b.w./day was statistically significant reduced by 20% in test week 1 compared to the control. No influence was noted on the visual appraisal of the drinking water consumption at any of the tested dose levels.

GROSS PATHOLOGY (PARENTAL ANIMALS)
Main study animals: Macroscopic inspection at necropsy revealed no test item-related changes in the organs or tissues after treatment with either 40, 100 or 200 mg test substance/kg b.w./day.
Recovery period: Satellite animals: An increased salivation was still noted for 2 of 5 males previously treated with 200 mg test substance/kg b.w./day on test days 42 and 43. No test item related influence was noted at the end of the recovery period on test day 58.
HISTOPATHOLOGY (PARENTAL ANIMALS)
The forestomach revealed a squamous cell hyperplasia with submucosal inflammatory reac-tion and hyperkeratosis/parakeratosis in the stra-tum corneum of the animals treated with 200 mg test substance/kg b.w./day. These lesions were completely reversible within the 16-days re-covery period. Further, a dose dependent increase of macro-phages with vacuolization in the mesenteric lymph nodes was observed in the animals treated with 100 or 200 mg test substance/kg b.w./day. The effect was still noted at the end of the recovery period.
OTHER FINDINGS (PARENTAL ANIMALS)
No test item-related increase in pre-implantation loss was noted in the dams after treatment with 40 or 100 mg /kg b.w./day throughout the study up to day 3 post-partum. Treatment with 200 mg /kg b.w./day resulted in a statistically significant (at p ≤ 0.05) increase of the pre-implantation loss by 20.7% compared to the control (10.5%).
The post-implantation loss was not influenced at any dose level.
No female aborted. No malformed pups were noted at birth.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- The test substance was assessed for reproductive toxicity according to OECD guidline 422. No test item-related mortality was noted, no effects on the pups were noted. Due to the pre-implantation loss noted at the high dose of 200 mg/kg b.w./day, p.o. the no-observed-effect level (NOEL) for reproductive toxicity was 100 mg/kg b.w./day, p.o. via gavage.
- Executive summary:
In a guideline study (OECD 422) the test substance was administered by daily oral gavage to male and female Wistar rats at dose levels of 0, 40, 100 and 200 mg/kg body weight/day. The males were exposed for 2 weeks prior to mating, during mating, and up to termination (for 31 or 36 days). The females were exposed for 2 weeks prior to mating, during mating, duringpost-coitum,and at least 3 days of lactation (for 41 to 56 days).
No test item-related mortality was noted, no effects on the pups were noted. Due to the pre-implantation loss noted at the high dose of 200 mg/kg b.w./day, p.o. the no-observed-effect level (NOEL) for reproductive toxicity was 100 mg/kg b.w./day, p.o. via gavage.
