- Blood parameters:
For parameters with bidirectional changes:
Non-parametric one-way analysis using KRUSKAL-WALLIS test. If the resulting p-value was equal or less than 0.05, a pairwise comparison of each dose
group with the control group was performed using WILCOXON-test (twosided) for the hypothesis of equal medians
For parameters with unidirectional changes:
Pairwise comparison of each dose group with the control group using the WILCOXON-test (one-sided) for the hypothesis of equal medians
Urinalysis parameters: WILCOXON-test (one-sided)
Food consumption: DUNNETT-test (twosided)
fertility indices: FISHER'S EXACT test
Proportions of affected pups per litter with necropsy observations: WILCOXON-test
Weight parameters: KRUSKAL-WALLIS test - Clinical signs:
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- - All male animals of test group 3 (1000 mg/kg bw/d) showed yellowish discolored feces towards the end of the study, i.e. on study days 33 and 34. Also all female animals of test group 3 (1000 mg/kg bw/d) showed yellowish discolored feces at the end of the study.
- In one female animal of test group 1 (100 mg/kg bw/d) abdominal distension was observed on study days 49 and 50. - Mortality:
- mortality observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence):
- One female animal of test group 1 (100 mg/kg bw/d) was sacrificed moribund on study day 50 (the animal was not pregnant). It revealed dilation of uterus and cervix with a cloudy fluid content. This was histopathologically diagnosed as a diffuse inflammation with dilation and was regarded to be the cause for the infertility of this mating pair and also the reason for sacrificing this animal. It was a single case and not regarded to be treatment-related but spontaneous in origin.
- Body weight and weight changes:
- no effects observed
- Food consumption and compound intake (if feeding study):
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- - During the first premating week as well as in the first gestation week the food consumption in female animals of test group 3 (1000 mg/kg bw/d) was significantly increased. These findings were assessed as spontaneous in nature and not test substance-related.
- Food efficiency:
- no effects observed
- Water consumption and compound intake (if drinking water study):
- not examined
- Ophthalmological findings:
- no effects observed
- Haematological findings:
- no effects observed
- Clinical biochemistry findings:
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- - In males of test groups 1 and 2 (100 and 300 mg/kg bw/d), creatinine values were lower compared to controls, but the means were not dose-dependently decreased. Therefore, this alteration was regarded as incidental and not treatment-relat
- Urinalysis findings:
- no effects observed
- Behaviour (functional findings):
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- - Functional observational battery: Deviations from "zero values" were obtained in several rats. However, as most findings were equally distributed between test substance-treated groups and controls, were without a dose-response relationship or occurred in single rats only, these observations were considered to have been incidental.
- Motor activity measurement: Deviations to the control were only noted in test group 1 (100 mg/kg bw/d), i.e. increased value in interval 9 in male animals and increased value in interval 6 in female animals. As no significant deviations were noted with regard to the overall motor activity and no dose-response relationship was observed, the findings were assessed as being incidental. - Immunological findings:
- not examined
- Organ weight findings including organ / body weight ratios:
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- - The weight increase in absolute and relative spleen weight in females and in relative spleen weight in males of test group 2 (300 mg/kg bw/d) was regarded to be incidental due to a missing dose-response relationship and missing histopathologic findings in test group 3 (1000 mg/kg bw/d).
- Gross pathological findings:
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- - 2 males and 7 females of test group 3 (1000 mg/kg bw/d) revealed a yellow discoloration of the glandular stomach contents. 3 females of test group 3 (1000 mg/kg bw/d) showed the same discoloration of the contents of the jejunum.
- One female animal of test group 1 (100 mg/kg bw/d) revealed a yellow discoloration of the lung (regarded to be test substance that was aspired subsequently to the gavage procedure or due to a gavage error into the trachea) and the mediastinal lymph nodes (regarded to be the physiologic clearing route of the lung). - Neuropathological findings:
- no effects observed
- Histopathological findings: non-neoplastic:
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- - 2 females of test group 3 (1000 mg/kg bw/d) revealed histopathological yellow crystalline particles within the alveoli, often close to or within macrophages, rarely inside multinucleated giant cells. The same finding was also observed for the female animal of test group 1 that revealed the macropscopic finding “discoloration” in the lung. These yellow particles were regarded to be test substance that was aspired subsequently to the gavage procedure. Therefore, these discolorations in lung and mediastinal lymph node were caused by the test substance but were not regarded to be a treatment-related adverse finding.
- Histopathological findings: neoplastic:
- no effects observed
- Other effects:
- no effects observed
- Dose descriptor:
- NOAEL
- Effect level:
- 1 000 mg/kg bw/day (actual dose received)
- Based on:
- test mat.
- Sex:
- male/female
- Remarks on result:
- other: no adverse effects observed up to and including the limit dose
- Critical effects observed:
- no
- Conclusions:
- Under the conditions of this Combined Repeated Dose Toxicity Study with the Reproduction/Developmental Toxicity Screening Test the oral administration by gavage to male and female Wistar rats did not reveal signs of toxicity. Thus, the no observed adverse effect level (NOAEL) for general systemic toxicity was 1000 mg/kg bw/d in both sexes.
- Executive summary:
The test substance was administered orally by gavage to groups of 10 male and 10 female Wistar rats (F0 animals) at dose levels of 0 mg/kg body weight/day (mg/kg bw/d; test group 0, drinking water served as vehicle), 100 mg/kg bw/d (test group 1), 300 mg/kg bw/d (test group 2) and 1000 mg/kg bw/d (test group 3). The duration of treatment covered a 2-week premating and a mating period in both sexes, approximately 1 week post-mating in males, and the entire gestation period as well as 4 days of lactation and 2 weeks thereafter in females.
After 2 weeks of premating treatment the F0 animals were mated to produce F1 generation pups. Mating pairs were from the same test group. Mating was discontinued as soon as sperm was detected in the vaginal smear. A detailed clinical observation (DCO) was performed in all animals before initial test substance administration and, as a rule, thereafter at weekly intervals. Food consumption of the F0 parents was determined once weekly during premating. In dams food consumption was determined for gestation days 0 - 7, 7 - 14, 14 - 20 and lactation days 1 - 4. Body weights of F0 parents were determined once a week, in males throughout the study and in females during premating and mating. During gestation and lactation period, F0 females were weighed on gestation days (GD) 0, 7, 14 and 20, day of parturition (postnatal day [PND] 0) and on PND 4.
Clinicochemical and hematological examinations as well as urinalyses were performed in 5 animals per sex and group towards the end of the administration period. Towards the end of the administration period a functional observational battery was performed and motor activity was measured in 5 animals per sex and test group.
All F0 parental animals were sacrificed by decapitation, under isoflurane anesthesia, and were assessed by gross pathology. Weights of selected organs were recorded and a histopathological examination was performed.
Under the conditions of this Combined Repeated Dose Toxicity Study with the Reproduction/Developmental Toxicity Screening Test the oral administration by gavage to male and female Wistar rats did not reveal signs of toxicity. Thus, the no observed adverse effect level (NOAEL) for general systemic toxicity was 1000 mg/kg bw/d in both sexes.

Additional information
Read across justification
Toxicity after repeated dose administration of the test item was not evaluated; reliable, experimental data of an analogue are available.
The substances share high similaritiy in structure and have comparable physico-chemical properties. Both substances are solids of poor water solubility and insoluble in most of the common organic solvents. The molecular weight of both compounds is higher than 600 g/mol. The molecules includes phthalimid-like structures and bear the potential to release chlorinated phthalimid after enzymatic or bacterial cleavage. Therefore, the analogue substance was choosen to examine toxicity after repeated dose administration and toxicity to reproduction and development.
Procedure and observations
The test item was administered orally by gavage to groups of 10 male and 10 female Wistar rats (F0 animals) at dose levels of 0 mg/kg body weight/day (drinking water served as vehicle), 100 mg/kg bw/d, 300 mg/kg bw/d and 1000 mg/kg bw/d. The duration of treatment covered a 2-week premating and a mating period in both sexes, approximately 1 week post-mating in males, and the entire gestation period as well as 4 days of lactation and 2 weeks thereafter in females. A detailed clinical observation was performed in all animals. Body weights and food consumption were determined in F0 animals. Clinicochemical and hematological examinations as well as urinalyses and FOB were performed in all animals towards the end of the administration period. All animals were assessed by gross pathology; weights of selected organs were recorded and a histopathological examination was performed.
Clinical examinations, reproductive performance, clinical pathology, histopathology and gross pathology did not reveal any finding in treated animals.
Discussion
Thus, under the conditions of this Combined Repeated Dose Toxicity Study with the Reproduction/Developmental Toxicity Screening Test the oral administration by gavage to male and female Wistar rats did not reveal signs of toxicity. Thus, the no observed adverse effect level (NOAEL) for general systemic toxicity was 1000 mg/kg bw/d in both sexes.
Justification for classification or non-classification
