- Deviations from Study Plan:
Deviation No.1
Animal Husbandry - Environment
The Study Plan target values for temperature and relative humidity (RH) were 22 ± 3ºC and 50 ± 20% respectively. While there were no deviations from the target range for temperature, the target range for relative humidity was exceeded for extended periods of time during the study due to adverse weather conditions. The majority of the deviations for relative humidity were less than 80% RH but on some occasions this value was also exceeded, although these instances were generally transient in nature.
The results of the study indicate that the animals remained in good health and, while it is accepted that these deviations from the target range for relative humidity were less than ideal, overall it is considered that these deviations had no adverse impact on the scientific purpose of the study.
Deviation No.2
Clinical Observations
On Days 9, 11 and 48, the 1-hour post dose clinical observations were performed approximately 45 minutes, 20 minutes and 60 minutes late respectively in error.
All animals showed no clinical signs of toxicity, therefore, the late observations were considered not to affect the purpose or integrity of the study. - GLP compliance:

- Animals and Animal Husbandry:
A sufficient number of male and female Wistar Han™:RccHan™:WIST strain rats were obtained from Harlan Laboratories U.K. Ltd., Blackthorn, Bicester, Oxon, UK. On receipt the animals were examined for signs of ill-health or injury. The animals were acclimatized for six days during which time their health status was assessed. A total of ninety six animals (forty eight males and forty eight females) were accepted into the study. At the start of treatment the males weighed 267 to 318g, the females weighed 198 to 241g, and were approximately twelve weeks old.
Initially, all animals were housed in groups of four in solid floor polypropylene cages with stainless steel mesh lids and softwood flake bedding (Datesand Ltd., Cheshire, UK). During the pairing phase, the animals were transferred to polypropylene grid floor cages suspended over trays lined with absorbent paper on a one male: one female basis. Following evidence of successful mating, or at the end of the two week pairing period, the males were returned to their original cages. Mated females were housed individually during gestation and lactation in solid floor polypropylene cages with stainless steel mesh lids and softwood flakes.
The animals were allowed free access to food and water. A pelleted diet (Rodent 2018C Teklad Global Certified Diet, Harlan Laboratories UK. Ltd., Oxon, UK.) was used. Mains drinking water was supplied from polycarbonate bottles attached to the cage. Environmental enrichment was provided in the form of wooden chew blocks and cardboard fun tunnels (Datesand Ltd., Cheshire, UK) except for paired animals and mated females during the final week of gestation and lactation. Mated females were also given softwood flakes, as bedding, throughout gestation and lactation. The diet, drinking water, bedding and environmental enrichment were considered not to contain any contaminant at a level that might have affected the purpose or integrity of the study.
The animals were housed in a single air-conditioned room within the Harlan Laboratories Ltd., Shardlow, UK Barrier Maintained Rodent Facility. The rate of air exchange was at least fifteen air changes per hour and the low intensity fluorescent lighting was controlled to give twelve hours continuous light and twelve hours darkness. Environmental conditions were continuously monitored by a computerized system, and print-outs of hourly temperatures and humidities are included in the study records. The Study Plan target ranges for temperature and relative humidity were 22 ± 3 °C and 50 ± 20% respectively. Short term deviations from these targets were considered not to have affected the purpose or integrity of the study; see Deviations from Study Plan.
The animals were randomly allocated to treatment groups using a stratified body weight randomization procedure and the group mean body weights were then determined to ensure similarity between the treatment groups. The cage distribution within the holding rack was also randomized. The animals were uniquely identified within the study by an ear punching system routinely used in these laboratories.
Justification:
The rat was selected for this study as it is a readily available rodent species historically used in safety evaluation studies and is acceptable to appropriate regulatory authorities.
Administration / exposure
- Route of administration:
- oral: gavage
- Vehicle:
- arachis oil
- Details on exposure:
- PREPARATION OF DOSING SOLUTIONS:
For the purpose of this study the test item was prepared at the appropriate concentrations as a suspension in Arachis oil BP. The stability and homogeneity of the test item formulations were determined by Harlan Laboratories Ltd., Shardlow, UK, Analytical Services as part of Harlan Study Number: 41304694. Results show the formulations to be stable for at least twenty three days. Formulations were therefore prepared every two weeks and stored at approximately 4 °C in the dark.

VEHICLE
Arachis oil was used as the vehicle of choice. - Details on mating procedure:
- Mating:
Animals were paired on a 1 male: 1 female basis within each dose group, for a period of up to fourteen days. Cage tray-liners were checked each morning for the presence of ejected copulation plugs and each female was examined for the presence of a copulation plug in the vagina. A vaginal smear was prepared for each female and the stage of oestrus or the presence of sperm was recorded. The presence of sperm within the vaginal smear and/or vaginal plug in situ was taken as positive evidence of mating (Day 0 of gestation) and the males were subsequently returned to their original holding cages (unless required for additional pairing). Mated females were housed individually during the period of gestation and lactation. - Analytical verification of doses or concentrations:
- yes
- Details on analytical verification of doses or concentrations:
- The test item concentration in the test samples was determined by high performance liquid chromatography with UV detection (HPLC/UV).

The formulations investigated during the study were found to comprise test item in the range 89 to 102%
In conclusion the results obtained under Harlan study number 41304694 indicate the accurate use of the test item and Arachis Oil BP as vehicle during this study. The formulations were found to be homogeneously prepared and sufficient formulation stability under storage conditions was proven.
Discussion:
The detection system was found to have acceptable linearity. The analytical procedure had acceptable recoveries of test item in the vehicle. The method of analysis was validated and was proven to be suitable for use. - Duration of treatment / exposure:
- The test item was administered by gavage to three groups, each of twelve male and twelve female Wistar Han™:RccHan™:WIST strain rats; males were treated for 42 consecutive days and females were treated up to and including Day 4 post partum (including a two week pre-pairing phase, pairing, gestation and early lactation), at dose levels of 100, 300 and 1000 mg/kg bw/day.
- Frequency of treatment:
- The test item was administered daily by gavage using a stainless steel cannula attached to a disposable plastic syringe.
- Details on study schedule:
- Chronological Sequence of Study:
i. Groups of twelve male and twelve female animals were treated daily at the appropriate dose level throughout the study (except for females during parturition where applicable). The first day of dosing was designated as Day 1 of the study.
ii. On Day 15, animals were paired on a 1 male: 1 female basis within each dose group for a maximum of fourteen days.
iii. Following evidence of mating (designated as Day 0 post coitum) the males were returned to their original cages and females were transferred to individual cages.
iv. Pregnant females were allowed to give birth and maintain their offspring until Day 5 post partum. Litter size, offspring weight and sex, surface righting and clinical signs were also recorded during this period.
v. The male dose groups were killed and examined macroscopically on Day 43.
vi. At Day 5 post partum, all females and surviving offspring were killed and examined macroscopically.

Examinations
- Parental animals: Observations and examinations:
- DETAILED CLINICAL OBSERVATIONS:
Yes
- Time schedule:
All animals were examined for overt signs of toxicity, ill-health and behavioral change immediately before dosing, soon after dosing, and one hour after dosing (except for females during parturition where applicable). All observations were recorded.
BODY WEIGHT:
Yes
- Time schedule for examinations:
Individual body weights were recorded on Day 1 (prior to dosing) and then weekly for males until termination and weekly for females until pairing. During the pairing phase females were weighed daily until mating was confirmed. Body weights were then recorded for females on Days 0, 7, 14 and 20 post coitum, and on Days 1 and 4 post partum.
FOOD CONSUMPTION:
Yes
- During the maturation period, weekly food consumption was recorded for each cage of adults. This was continued for males after the mating phase. During the pre-pairing period, weekly food consumption was recorded for each cage of adults until pairing. This was continued for males after the mating phase. For females showing evidence of mating, food consumption was recorded for the periods covering post coitum Days 0-7, 7-14 and 14-20. For females with live litters, food consumption was recorded during the lactation period (Days 1-4).
FOOD EFFICIENCY:
Yes
- Weekly food efficiency (body weight gain/food intake) was calculated retrospectively for males and for females during the pre-pairing phase. Due to offspring growth and milk production for lactation, food efficiency for females could not be accurately calculated during gestation and lactation.
WATER CONSUMPTION: Yes
- Time schedule for examinations: Water intake was observed daily by visual inspection of water bottles for any overt changes.
PREGNANCY AND PARTURITION
Each pregnant female was observed at approximately 0830, 1230 and 1630 hours and around the period of expected parturition. Observations were carried out at approximately 0830 and 1230 hours at weekends and public holidays. The following was recorded for each female:
i. Date of pairing
ii. Date of mating
iii. Date and time of observed start of parturition
iv. Date and time of observed completion of parturition - Oestrous cyclicity (parental animals):
- No Data
- Sperm parameters (parental animals):
- Parameters examined in [all/P/F1/F2] male parental generations:
The epididymides and testes were removed from terminal kill adult males dissected free from fat and weighed before fixation. - Litter observations:
- LITTER DATA:
On completion of parturition (Day 0 post partum), the number of live and dead offspring was recorded. Offspring were individually identified within each litter by tattoo on Day 1 post partum.
For each litter the following was recorded:
i. Number of offspring born
ii. Number of offspring alive recorded daily and reported on Days 1 and 4 post partum
iii. Sex of offspring on Days 1 and 4 post partum
iv. Clinical condition of offspring from birth to Day 5 post partum
v. Individual offspring weights on Days 1 and 4 post partum (litter weights were calculated retrospectively from this data) - Postmortem examinations (parental animals):
- POST-MORTEM EXAMINATIONS: Yes
- Sacrifice
Adult males were killed by intravenous overdose of a suitable barbiturate agent followed by exsanguination on Day 43. Adult females were killed by intravenous overdose of sodium pentobarbitone followed by exsanguination on Day 5 post partum. Surviving offspring were terminated via intracardiac overdose of a suitable barbiturate agent. Any females which failed to achieve pregnancy or produce a litter were killed on or after Day 25 post coitum.
- Organs examined:
For all females, the uterus was examined for signs of implantation and the number of uterine implantations in each horn was recorded. This procedure was enhanced; as necessary, by staining the uteri with a 0.5% ammonium polysulphide solution (Salewski 1964). The corpora lutea were also counted.
Histopathology/organ weights:
All adult animals and offspring, including those dying during the study, were subjected to a full external and internal examination, and any macroscopic abnormalities were recorded.
Samples of the following tissues were preserved from all animals from each dose group, in buffered 10% formalin, except where stated:
Coagulating gland Prostate
Epididymides Seminal vesicles
Gross lesions Testes
Ovaries Uterus/Cervix
Vagina Pituitary
Mammary gland (females only) - Postmortem examinations (offspring):
- POST-MORTEM EXAMINATION
Surviving offspring were terminated via intracardiac overdose of a suitable barbiturate agent. All adult animals and offspring, including those dying during the study, were subjected to a full external and internal examination, and any macroscopic abnormalities were recorded. - Statistics:
- Statistical Analysis
Where considered appropriate, quantitative data was subjected to statistical analysis to detect the significance of intergroup differences from control; statistical significance was achieved at a level of p<0.05. Statistical analysis was performed on the following parameters:
Body Weight, Body Weight Change, Food Consumption during gestation and lactation, Pre-Coital Interval, Gestation Length, Litter Size, Litter Weight, Sex Ratio, Corpora Lutea, Implantation Sites, Implantation Losses, Viability Indices, Offspring Body Weight, Offspring Body Weight Change, Offspring Surface Righting, Absolute Organ Weights, Body Weight-Relative Organ Weights.
Data were analyzed using the decision tree from the ProvantisTM Tables and Statistics Module .
Data not analyzed by the Provantis data capture system were assessed separately using the the R Environment for Statistical Computing. Initially, the distribution of the data was assessed by the Shapiro-Wilk normality test, followed by assessment of the homogeneity of the data using Bartlett’s test. Where considered appropriate, parametric analysis of the data was applied incorporating analysis of variance (ANOVA), which if significant, was followed by pair-wise comparisons using Dunnett’s test. Where parametric analysis of the data was considered to be unsuitable, non-parametric analysis of the data was performed incorporating the Kruskal-Wallis test which if significant was followed by the Mann-Whitney "U" test. . Dose response relationships were investigated by linear regression.
Due to the preponderance of non-normally distributed data, reproductive parameters (implantation losses, offspring sex ratio and offspring surface righting) were analyzed using non-parametric analyses.
Probability values (p) are presented as follows:
p<0.01 **
p<0.05 *
p>0.05 (not significant) - Reproductive indices:

Mating Performance and Fertility
The following parameters were calculated from the individual data during the mating period of the parental generation:
i. Pre-coital Interval
Calculated as the time elapsing between initial pairing and the observation of positive evidence of mating.
ii. Fertility Indices
For each group the following were calculated:
Mating Index (%) = Number of animals mated / number of animals paired x 100
Pregnancy Index (%) = Number of pregnant females / number of animals mated x 100 - Offspring viability indices:
- Litter Responses:
The standard unit of assessment was considered to be the litter, therefore values were first calculated for each litter and the group mean was calculated using their individual litter values. Group mean values included all litters reared to termination (Day 5 of age).
i. Implantation Losses (%)
Group mean percentile pre-implantation and post-implantation loss were calculated for each female/litter as follows:
Pre–implantation loss (%) = (Number of corpora lutea - number of implantati on sited / number of corpora lutea ) x 100
Post–implantation loss (%) = (Number of implantati on sites - Total number of offspring born / Number of implantati on sites ) x 100
ii. Live Birth and Viability Indices
The following indices were calculated for each litter as follows:
Live Birth Index (%) = Number of offspring alive on Day 1 / Number of offspring born x 100
Viability Index (%) = Number of offspring alive on Day 4 / Number of offspring alive on Day 1 x 100
i. Sex Ratio (% males)
Sex ratio was calculated for each litter value on Days 1 and 4 post partum, using the following formula:
Number of male off spring / total number of off spring x 100

Details on results (P0)
There were no unscheduled deaths.
Clinical Observations:
Neither the type, incidence or distribution of clinical signs apparent indicated an adverse effect of treatment at 100, 300 or 1000 mg/kg bw/day.
Eight males and four females treated with 1000 mg/kg bw/day had increased salivation from Day 22 and Day 28 respectively. One female treated with 300 mg/kg bw/day had an isolated incidence of increased salivation on Day 22. Observations of this nature are commonly experienced following the oral administration of an unpalatable or slightly irritant test item formulation and in isolation are considered not to be of toxicological importance.
Animals of either sex treated with 1000 mg/kg bw/day had episodes of blue, black or purple staining of the fur throughout the majority of the study. All females and ten males treated with 300 mg/kg bw/day had episodes of blue stained fur from Day 12 onwards. One male and four females treated with 100 mg/kg bw/day had blue stained fur on Day 12, with observations continuing to Day 18 in females. These observations were considered to reflect the dark colouration of the test item.
One male treated with 300 mg/kg bw/day had red/brown staining of the fur on Day 12, in isolation this observation was considered incidental and of no toxicological importance.
BODY WEIGHT AND FOOD CONSUMPTION (PARENTAL ANIMALS)
There were no treatment-related effects on body weight gain at 100, 300 or 1000 mg/kg bw/day.
There were no treatment-related effects on food consumption or food efficiency at 100, 300 or 1000 mg/kg bw/day.
WATER CONSUMPTION:
Daily visual inspection of water bottles did not indicate any overt differences in water consumption at 100, 300 or 1000 mg/kg bw/day.
REPRODUCTIVE PERFORMANCE:
-Mating:
There were no treatment-related effects on mating performance. Although one female treated with 100 mg/kg bw/day failed to mate.
-Fertility:
There were no treatment related effects on fertility. One control female was non-pregnant. One female treated with 300 mg/kg bw/day showed evidence of implantation but failed to produce a live litter; one dead fetus was found in the uterus at necropsy.
-Gestation length:
There were no differences in gestation lengths. The distribution for treated females was comparable to controls. Gestation lengths were between 22 and 23½ days.
ORGAN WEIGHTS:
There were no toxicologically significant differences in organ weights detected.
GROSS PATHOLOGY (PARENTAL ANIMALS)
Adults:
Macroscopic examination of the animals revealed blue colored contents throughout the digestive system of the majority of treated animals. Blue discoloration of the stomach was also apparent in a number of animals treated with 100, 300 or 1000 mg/kg bw/day. These observations are likely to be associated with the physical properties of the test item. One male treated with 1000 mg/kg bw/day had a mass on the right epididymide, in isolation, this finding was considered not to be toxicologically significant. The left horn of the uterus of one female treated with 100 mg/kg bw/day was found to have a fluid filled sac attached. The left horn was also found to be thin. In the absence of similar findings at 1000 mg/kg bw/day, this finding was considered to be incidental and of no toxicological significance.
HISTOPATHOLOGY (PARENTAL ANIMALS)
There were no treatment-related histopathological changes. All of the histopathological findings encountered were considered to have arisen spontaneously or at post mortem.

- Mortality / viability:
- no mortality observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- There was no effect of treatment on corpora lutea count, pre-implantation loss, numbers of implantations, post-implantation loss, litter size, sex ratio and subsequent offspring survival to Day 4 of age at 100, 300 or 1000 mg/kg bw/day.
- Body weight and weight changes:

- Sexual maturation:
- not examined
- Organ weight findings including organ / body weight ratios:
- not examined
- Gross pathological findings:
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- Macroscopic examination of the animals revealed blue coloured contents throughout the digestive system in the majority of treated animals. The stomachs of some animals treated with 100, 300 or 1000 mg/kg bw/day also had blue discoloration.
- Histopathological findings:
- not examined
Details on results (F1)
In total eleven females from control, 100, and 300 mg/kg bw/day dose groups and 12 females from the 1000 mg/kg bw/day dose group gave birth to a live litter and successfully reared young to Day 5 of age. The following assessment of litter response is based on all litters reared to termination on Day 5 of lactation/age.
Offspring Litter Size, Sex Ratio and Viability:
There was no effect of treatment on the corpora lutea count, pre-implantation loss, numbers of implantations, post-implantation loss, litter size at birth/Day 1 post partum and subsequent offspring survival to Day 4 post partum at 100, 300 or 1000 mg/kg bw/day. Sex ratio for the offspring was similar in all groups and did not indicate any selective effect of maternal treatment on survival for either sex.
Females treated with 1000 mg/kg bw/day had a statistically significant increase in the number of live offspring on Day 4 post partum when compared to controls. Females treated with 100 mg/kg bw/day had a statistically significant increase in the number of offspring born and a subsequent increase in the number of live offspring on Days 1 and 4 post partum when compared to controls. Increases in these parameters do not constitute an adverse effect of treatment. The intergroup differences were considered to represent normal biological variation.
Offspring Growth and Development:
Offspring body weight gain and litter weights at birth and subsequently on Days 1 and 4 post partum were unaffected by maternal treatment at 100, 300 or 1000 mg/kg bw/day. Statistical analysis of surface righting reflex data did not reveal any significant intergroup differences.
Litter weights on Day 1 post partum were statistically significantly higher than controls for females treated with 100 or 1000 mg/kg bw/day. Increases in this parameter do not constitute an adverse effect of treatment. The intergroup differences were considered to reflect slightly larger litter sizes in these groups and the differences are likely to represent normal biological variation.
Clinical signs apparent for offspring on the study were typical of the age observed. Neither the incidence or distribution of these observations indicated any adverse effect of maternal treatment.
NECROPSY:
Offspring
Macroscopic necropsy findings for offspring on the study were typical for the age observed and neither the incidence or distribution of these observations indicated any adverse effect of maternal treatment on offspring development at 100, 300 or 1000 mg/kg bw/day.
Overall reproductive toxicity
- Reproductive effects observed:
- not specified
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- The oral administration of FAT 41044/A TE to male rats by gavage for a period of 42 consecutive days and to female rats by gavage up to and including Day 4 post partum (including a two week pre-pairing phase, pairing, gestation and early lactation) at dose levels of 100, 300 and 1000 mg/kg bw/day did not result in any toxicologically significant effects of treatment.
Therefore the ‘No Observed Effect Level’ (NOEL) for reproductive/developmental toxicity was considered to be 1000 mg/kg bw/day. - Executive summary:

The study was performed to screen for potential adverse effects of the test item on reproduction, including offspring development, and provides an initial hazard assessment for effect on reproduction. The study is compatible with the requirements of the recommendations of the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals No. 421 “Reproduction/Developmental Toxicity Screening Test” (adopted 27 July 1995).
This study was also designed to be compatible with Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008 laying down test methods pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH).
Methods:
The test item was administered by gavage to three groups, each of twelve male and twelve female Wistar Han™:RccHan™:WIST strain rats; males were treated for 42 consecutive days and females were treated up to and including Day 4 post partum (including a two week pre-pairing phase, pairing, gestation and early lactation), at dose levels of 100, 300 and 1000 mg/kg bw/day. A control group of twelve males and twelve females was dosed with vehicle alone (Arachis oil BP).
Clinical signs, body weight change, dietary intake and water consumption were monitored during the study.
Pairing of animals within each dose group was undertaken on a one male: one female basis within each treatment group on Day 15 of the study, with females subsequently being allowed to litter and rear their offspring to Day 5 of lactation.
During the lactation phase, daily clinical observations were performed on all surviving offspring, together with litter size and offspring weights and assessment of surface righting reflex.
Adult males were terminated on Day 43, followed by the termination of all females and offspring on Day 5 post partum. Any female which did not produce a pregnancy was terminated on or after Day 25 post coitum. All animals were subjected to a gross necropsy examination and histopathological evaluation of reproductive tissues was performed.
Results:
Adult Responses:
Mortality
There were no unscheduled deaths.
Clinical Observations
Neither the type, incidence or distribution of clinical signs apparent indicated an adverse effect of treatment at 100, 300 or 1000 mg/kg bw/day.
Body Weight
There were no treatment-related effects on body weight gain at 100, 300 or 1000 mg/kg bw/day.
Food Consumption
There were no treatment-related effects on food consumption or food efficiency at 100, 300 or 1000 mg/kg bw/day.
Water Consumption
Daily visual inspection of water bottles did not indicate any overt differences in water consumption at 100, 300 or 1000 mg/kg bw/day.
Reproductive Performance:
Mating
There were no treatment-related effects on mating performance.
Fertility
There were no treatment-related effects in conception rates for treated animals.
Gestation Length
There were no differences in gestation lengths. The distribution for treated females was compared to controls. Gestation lengths were between 22 and 23½ days.
Litter Responses
Offspring Litter Size, Sex Ratio and Viability:
There was no effect of treatment on corpora lutea count, pre-implantation loss, numbers of implantations, post-implantation loss, litter size, sex ratio and subsequent offspring survival to Day 4 of age at 100, 300 or 1000 mg/kg bw/day.
Offspring Growth and Development
There was no effect of treatment indicated by offspring body weight or body weight gain and litter weights, surface righting ability on Day 1 or clinical signs to Day 5 of age at 100, 300 or 1000 mg/kg bw/day.
Pathology
Necropsy
Macroscopic examination of the animals revealed blue coloured contents throughout the digestive system in the majority of treated animals. The stomachs of some animals treated with 100, 300 or 1000 mg/kg bw/day also had blue discoloration.
Organ Weights
There were no treatment-related differences in organ weights detected.
Histopathology
There were no treatment-related histopathological changes. All of the histopathological findings encountered were considered to have arisen spontaneously or at post mortem.
Conclusion:
The oral administration of FAT 41044/A TE to male rats by gavage for a period of 42 consecutive days and to female rats by gavage up to and including Day 4 post partum (including a two week pre-pairing phase, pairing, gestation and early lactation) at dose levels of 100, 300 and 1000 mg/kg bw/day, did not result in any toxicologically significant effects of treatment.
The ‘No Observed Effect Level’ (NOEL) for reproductive/developmental toxicity was considered to be 1000 mg/kg bw/day.
