This animal model has been proven to be susceptible to the effects of reproductive toxicants.
Administration / exposure
- Route of administration:
- oral: gavage
- Analytical verification of doses or concentrations:
- yes
- Details on analytical verification of doses or concentrations:
- Frequecy: Once during week 1 of dosing
Dose Groups Tested: Concentration: All Groups; Homogeneity: Groups 2 and 4
Method: LC-DAD (Method Validated by Analytical Biochemical Laboratory B.V. (ABL)
Stability of Test Substance in Vehicle: Verified to be stable during method development - Details on mating procedure:
- After 14 days of treatment, animals were cohabitated on a 1:1 basis within the same treatment group, avoiding sibling mating. Detection of mating was confirmed by evidence of sperm in the vaginal lavage or by the appearance of an intravaginal copulatory plug. This day was designated Day 0 post-coitum. Once mating had occurred, the males and females were separated. A maximum of 14 days was allowed for mating, after which females who have not shown evidence of mating were separated from their males.
- Duration of treatment / exposure:
- Males: 29 days up to and including the day before scheduled necropsy. This included a minimum of 14 days prior to mating and during the mating period.
Females that failed to deliver: 41-51 days
Females that delivered: 50 - 62 days; i.e. 14 days prior to mating (with the objective to cover at least two complete estrous cycles), the variable time to conception, the duration of pregnancy and at least 13 days after delivery, up to and including the day before scheduled necropsy. - Frequency of treatment:
- Once daily, 7 days per week.

Results and discussion
Results: maternal animals
General toxicity (maternal animals)
- Clinical signs:
- no effects observed
- Mortality:
- mortality observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence):
- On the day of scheduled necropsy, one female (no.48, control group) died as a result of a blood sampling-related injury. This death was considered not to be test item-related. No findings were observed at macroscopic examination of this female.
- Body weight and weight changes:
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- In males at 1000 mg/kg, slightly reduced body weight gain (up to maximally 6%) was observed during the treatment period, in comparison with controls. No effects on body weights were observed in females up to 1000 mg/kg.
- Food consumption and compound intake (if feeding study):
- no effects observed
- Food efficiency:
- not examined
- Water consumption and compound intake (if drinking water study):
- no effects observed
- Ophthalmological findings:
- not examined
- Haematological findings:
- no effects observed
- Clinical biochemistry findings:
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- Decreased levels of total bilirubin were observed in both sexes at 1000 mg/kg and decreased creatinine in females at 1000 mg/kg. Lower bilirubin levels were considered to be test item related but the toxicological relevance was doubted as the opposite effect would be expected in case of target (liver) organ toxicity. Furthermore, based the magnitude of the decrease in creatinine in females at 1000 mg/kg, which was possibly related to the histopathological findings in the liver (see below), was considered to be non-adverse. Serum levels of T4 in F0 males were considered not to be affected by treatment.
- Urinalysis findings:
- not examined
- Behaviour (functional findings):
- no effects observed
- Immunological findings:
- not examined
- Organ weight findings including organ / body weight ratios:
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- Increased liver and kidneys weights were observed in both sexes at 1000 mg/kg. Histopathological examination of the liver revealed a suspected correlating hepatocellular hypertrophy also in both sexes, which was accompanied by single cell necrosis in males only. Therefore, the changes in the liver in high dose males were considered to be adverse, whereas that in females were considered to be non-adverse, mainly because of the absence of any degenerative findings. In the kidneys, hyaline droplet accumulation, a finding not relevant for humans, was observed in male rats without evidence of tubular damage in the kidneys. No histopathological findings were observed in the female kidneys which could be correlated with the increased weights. In the absence of indicators of kidney damage in both sexes the findings in the kidneys were considered to be non-adverse.
- Gross pathological findings:
- no effects observed
- Neuropathological findings:
- not examined
- Histopathological findings: non-neoplastic:
- effects observed, treatment-related

This incidental pup mortality was within normal limits, and due to the absence of a dose-related trend, was considered unrelated to treatment.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- A NOAEL of >= 1000 mg/kg was established based on the absence of any adverse developmental effects at the highest dose tested. Given these results, the substance does not meet the GHS criteria for classification under the criteria for developmental toxicity.
- Executive summary:
In this GLP Combined 28-Day Repeated Dose Toxicity Study with the Reproduction/Developmental Toxicity Screening Test, conducted in accordance with OECD guideline 422 with male and female Wister (Han) rats by oral gavage at doses of 0 (vehicle only), 100, 300, and 1000 mg/kg-bw/day, a NOAEL of 1000 mg/kg-bw/day was established for developmental toxicity based on the absence of any adverse developmental effects at the highest dose tested. Given these results, the substance does not meet the GHS criteria for classification under the criteria for developmental toxicity.
