Results and discussion
Results of examinations
- Details on results:
- CLINICAL SIGNS AND MORTALITY
There were three mortalities during the study. At 360 ppm, one male with paralysis of the hindquarters was found moribund on Day 58 and another male was found dead on Day 75. At 1200 ppm, one male was found dead on Day 73.
Signs of aggressivity and irritability to touch were observed at physical examination with an increased incidence starting at 36 ppm.
BODY WEIGHT AND WEIGHT GAIN
The body weight evolution of all treated males and females was unaffected by treatment.
FOOD CONSUMPTION AND COMPOUND INTAKE (if feeding study)
During Week 6, abnormally elevated mean food consumption were noted in males in control and treated at all dose levels and in females in the control, 36 ppm and 1200 ppm groups. This was due to some individual animals scattered in these groups for which the daily food consumption was higher than this usually observed in rats of this age and strain. During Week 13, due to an abnormal number of higher mean food consumption than this usually observed in rats of this age and strain, food consumption data of this week were dismissed.
OPHTHALMOSCOPIC EXAMINATION
No treatment-related ophthalmological abnormalities were observed after 12 weeks of treatment at 1200 ppm.
HAEMATOLOGY
In hematology, prothrombin time was increased in a dose-related manner in males only, at 36, 360 and 1200 ppm (+41%, +114% and +116%, respectively). Platelets were also increased (+25%) in males and females at 1200 ppm. No other toxicologically meaningful changes were noted in hematology.
CLINICAL CHEMISTRY
In clinical chemistry, the major changes were an increase in protein concentration in males and females at 360 and 1200 ppm (7-12 %), an increase in total cholesterol in males at 1200 ppm (+46%) and in females at 360 (+40%) and 1200 ppm (+36%). An increase in Urea concentrations in males at 360 (+30%) and 1200 ppm (+31%) and in females at only 1200 ppm (+31%) was also noted.
URINALYSIS
No meaningful changes were noted in the parameters assayed.
ORGAN WEIGHTS
There was a statistically significantly higher mean absolute and/or relative liver weight in both sexes at 1200 and 360 ppm and in females at 36 ppm, when compared with controls.
Statistically significantly higher mean absolute and/or mean relative thyroid weights were seen exclusively in male rats at 1200 and 360 ppm only, when compared with controls.
All other changes were not considered to be of toxicological importance.
GROSS PATHOLOGY
Unscheduled deaths: At the necropsy, in the three dead animals, there were macroscopic and histological evidentes of hemorrhages.
ScheduIed sacrifice: An increased incidence of prominent liver lobulation was seen in the majority of males and females at 36, 360 and 1200 ppm, when compared with controls. Dark liver color was noted in the majority of males at 1200 ppm and a proportion of males from all other treatment groups and in females at 360 and 1200 ppm, when compared with controls. Dark kidney color was seen in a proportion of males from all treatment groups, but not in controls. There was a slightly increased incidence of this change in females at 360 and 1200 ppm, when compared with controls.
HISTOPATHOLOGY: NON-NEOPLASTIC
Unscheduled deaths: In each of the unscheduled deaths hemorrhage was a likely contributory factor to death.
ScheduIed sacrifice: Hepatocyte hypertrophy with ground glass cytoplasm was seen in the majority of females at 360 and 1200 ppm and in a proportion of males at 1200 ppm and a single male at 360 ppm, when compared with controls. In females this hypertrophy ranged from centrilobular to generalized in distribution, In the males the distribution was generalized. These changes are consistent with the statistically significantly higher absolute and relative liver weights recorded in these dose groups. Thyroid follicular cell hypertrophy of a very minor degree was seen in both sexes at 36, 360 and 1200 ppm.

Any other information on results incl. tables
It can be considered that the No Observed Effect Level (NOEL) of Disulfide / MB 46307/RPA 098028 is 12 ppm in males and 12 ppm in females (approximately 0.77 mg/kg/day and 0.92 mg/kg/day respectively).
Because of the diversity of the observed liver effects starting at 360 ppm (= 22.5 mg/kg bw/day for males and 28.47 mg/kg bw/day for females), which included mortality, the following classification is considered to be warranted: R48/22; STOT RE 2 (target organ: liver)
