Results and discussion
Results of examinations
- Details on results:
- CLINICAL SIGNS AND MORTALITY
No death occurred during the experiment. No clinical symptoms and no signs of systemic toxicity were observed.
BODY WEIGHT AND WEIGHT GAIN
The mean body weight values in all male and female treatment groups were similar to that of the respective controls during the whole experiment.
FOOD CONSUMPTION
The mean feed consumption values in all male and female treatment groups were similar to that of the respective controls during the whole experiment.
FOOD EFFICIENCY
The mean feed conversion values in all male and female treatment groups were similar to the values of the respective controls during the whole experiment.
WATER CONSUMPTION
Within the limits of reliability of the measuring method, the mean water consumption values in all male and female treatment groups were considered to be within a normal range, and comparable to the values of the control group.
OPHTHALMOSCOPIC EXAMINATION AND HEARING TEST
Ophthalmic inspections and hearing examinations performed before and towards the end of the administration period revealed no evidence of a reaction to the treatment.
HAEMATOLOGY
A minor increase in the percentage of segmented neutrophils was found in males and females of the high dosage group (1000 mg/kg bw per day), but the difference to controls was not reaching a level of statistical significance. No other changes attributable to the administration of the test item were seen throughout the treatment groups.
CLINICAL CHEMISTRY
The findings in blood chemistry investigations generally were unremarkable. Besides a minor (statistically not significant) increase in aspartate aminotransferase activity in the male group 4, treated with 1000 mg/kg bw per day, no changes attributable to the treatment with the test item were found.
ORGAN WEIGHTS
A trend to absolute and relative mean liver weight increase was observed in males, and an opposite trend to liver weight decrease was seen in females. Since there were no substantial differences in the histopathological appearance of this organ between control and treated animals, and since no systematic pattern emerged, which indicated a treatment-related effect, no experimental relevance was attributed to this fluctuation.
GROSS PATHOLOGY
Macroscopical examination at autopsy revealed no evidence of a reaction to the treatment.
HISTOPATHOLOGY: NON-NEOPLASTIC
All microscopical changes noted in some control and treated animals were only incidental in nature and unrelated to the treatment with the test item.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- It can be inferred from the observations made during the above study that a "no observable effect level" for the test substance when administered by gavage over a period of 28 days is 200 mg/kg body weight and the NOAEL is 1000 mg/kg.
- Executive summary:
In a 28-day subchronic toxicity study according to OECD guideline 407, five male and five female rats were treated with the test substance by gavage at dose levels of 40, 200 and 1000 mg/kg body weight. A control group received the vehicle (distilled water containing 0.5% carboxymethyl cellulose and 0.1% Tween 80) alone. The observed parameters were the following: Clinical signs, mortality, hearing test and ophthalmologic examinations, body weight, food and water uptake, hematology, clinical chemistry, gross pathology, organ weights (limited to brain, liver, spleen, kidneys, adrenals, gonads) and histopathology (limited to spleen, heart, liver, kidney and adrenal glands). No deaths occurred during the study and no clinical symptoms or signs of systemic toxicity were observed. Eye examination and hearing test, body weight gain and food consumption revealed no changes when compared to controls. A minor increase in the percentage of segmented neutrophils was found in males and females of the high dose group (1000 mg/kg bw), but the difference to controls was not reaching a level of statistical significance. In addition, a minor (statistically not significant) increase in aspartate aminotransferase activity in males treated with 1000 mg/kg bw was observed. The analysis of organ weights and organ weights ratios revealed no consistent treatment related effect. Trends to a dose-dependent liver weight increase in males and, inversely, liver weight decrease in females, were considered to be of no experimental relevance. No treatment related findings were recorded during macroscopical and histopathological investigations. Therefore, based on the presented results and under the conditions employed, the NOAEL for the test article when administered by gavage over a period of 28 days was set at 1000 mg/kg.
