- Details on study design:
- After an acclimatisation period of ca. 5 days, rats were assigned to groups by randomisation based on weight. The test article, 3 methylpentane-1,5-diol was administered once daily orally to groups of rats for a period of 90 d. Animals (10/sex/gp), were administered the test article orally via gavage at concentrations of 0, 100, 300, 1000 mg/kg bw/d, employing a dose volume of 5 mL/kg bw. Following 90 d of treatment animals were subjected to complete necropsy. Body weight and food consumption were measured at regular intervals. Functional observational battery were performed prior to dosing and during the last week of exposure. Clinical pathology evaluations (haematology) were performed with all surviving animals subjected to complete gross necropsy and full histopathology. Fertility parameters (sperm counts) were determined at necropsy.
- Positive control:
- not applicable
Examinations
- Observations and examinations performed and frequency:
- Observations:
Animals were inspected at least once daily for signs of toxicity and mortality. Detailed clinical examinations were conducted once before administration (on the day before the administration start day) and once a week during the administration period.
Body weights:
Animals were weighed at initiation of dosing and weekly during administration and at study termination.
Food consumption:
Determined by weighing food supplied and food that remained were calculated as time-weighted averages at weekly intervals.
Water consumption:
Not conducted
Ophthalmological examination:
Conducted on all animals before the first administration and during the final week of the treatment period.
Neurological functional examinations:
The following evaluations (measurements) were performed prior to initiation of dosing and at wk 12: approach response, auditory stimulation, proprioceptive response, grip strength, rearing, and motor activity.
Haematology and clinical chemistry:
Conducted on days 91. Animals were fasted overnight prior to blood sampling.
Haematology: red blood cell parameters (haematocrit (commonly termed PCV), haemoglobin concentration (Hb), mean haemoglobin concentration (MHC), mean cell haemoglobin concentration (MCHC), mean cell volume (MCV), erythrocyte count, platelet count, reticulocyte count), white blood cell parameters (total and differential (neutrophils, lymphocytes, eosinophils, basophils, monocytes) leukocyte count, large unstained cells), coagulation parameters (activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), prothrombin time (PT)).
Clinical chemistry: electrolytes (sodium, potassium), kidney function test (creatinine, urea), glucose, liver function tests (albumi, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), alanine aminotransferase (ALT [commonly referred to as glutamic pyruvic transaminase (GPT)]), aspartate aminotransferase (AST [commonly referred to as glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (GOT), gamma-glutamyl transferase (G-GT)]), total bilirubin (T.Bili), total bile acids (TBA), total protein (TP), lipid profile (total triglyceride, total cholesterol, LDL, HDL), thyroid hormones (T3, T4, TSH).
Toxicokinetics:
Blood samples from 5 animals/sex/gp were taken at 30 minutes and 2 h post dosing in week 1, 4 and 13 to assess for possible systemic exposure and accumulation.
Urinalysis:
Conducted on day 91. The following urinary parameters were measured: specific gravity, pH, protein, glucose, ketones, bilirubin, blood, urobilinogen, leukocyte, nitrite
Organ weights:
Adrenal glands, brain, epididymides, heart, kidney, liver, ovary, pituitary gland, prostate (+seminal vesicles, coagulating gland), spleen, thymus, thyroid (+parathyroid), testis, uterus (+cervix). - Sacrifice and pathology:
- Conducted on day 91. Gross pathological examination was performed on all animals and included examination of the external surface, all orifices and associated tissues.
The following tissues were preserved in 4% neutral buffered formalin for subsequent histopathological examination (with the exception of eyes, testes and epididymides which were fixed in Modified Davidson's fixative, then transferred to 70% ethanol) and performed on control and high dose group animals:
Accessory sex glands (M: epididymides, prostate (ventral and dorsolateral), seminal vesicle (coagulating gland), testes; F: ovary, uterus +cervix, vagina), cardiovascular/haematological system (aorta, bone (sternum for marrow), heart, lymph nodes (mesenteric, auxiliary), spleen, thymus), gastrointestinal tract (oesophagus, tongue, stomach, intestine (caecum, colon, duodenum, Peyer's patches, ileum, jejunum, rectum), liver, pancreas, salivary glands (submaxillary, sublingual, parotids'), neurological (brain (cerebellum, cerebrum, midbrain), eyes (+optic nerve, Harderian gland), sciatic nerve, spinal cord (cervical, thoracic, lumbar), respiratory system (trachea, lung), urogenital system (kidneys, urinary bladder), other (skeletal muscle, skin, all gross lesions and masses)
Other endocrine producing/sensitive glands (adrenals, mammary gland, pituitary, thyroid (+parathyroid)) - Other examinations:
- Spermatogenesis:
At necropsy, the left epididymis and left testis were separated and used for the evaluation of sperm parameters. Epididymal sperm motility and testicular sperm counts were undertaken for all males.
Neurohistopathology: No specific neurohistopathology with specific fixatives were performed in addition to the standard histopathology undertaken on neuronal tissues. - Statistics:
- Body weight, food consumption, parameters of haematology, blood coagulation and clinical biochemistry and absolute and relative organ weights were undertaken for each gender by comparing values of dosed animals with the respective control group animals using either a parametric one-way ANOVA and a post-hoc Dunnett Test or a non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis Test and a post-hoc Dunn’s Test, based on the results of homogeneity and normality tests.

- Description (incidence and severity):
- No test article related effects were observed in either sex, with changes deemed representative of normal background variability within the Wistar rat at the conducting laboratory (refer to Table 7.5.2/02-9).
There was no histological evidence of toxicity in the reproductive organs and tissues including testes, epididymides, prostate gland, seminal vesicles, coagulating glands, ovaries, uterus, cervix, and vagina. In addition, in the investigated testes no treatment-related effects on the testicular histopathology were observed and the histological appearance reflected the animal physiology.
Thymus - minimal to slight multifocal hemorrhage within the thymus and moderate multifocal hemorrhages in the connective tissue adjacent to the thymus were observed in several control and treated animals. Further, minimal multifocal hemosiderin deposits mostly associated with the above mentioned hemorrhages were also observed in some control and high dose animals at incidences comparable to published data (McInnes, 2012). In the absence of additional thymic changes (e.g. necrosis, inflammation), all the above mentioned changes in the thymus were considered most likely incidental were deemed to be not test item related [Firth, 2000, McInnes, 2012, 2017; NTP. Sefanski et al 1990).
Mesenteric lymph nodes - minimal to slight multifocal hemorrhages were observed in several animals from the control and high dose group. Further, slight hemosiderin deposits within macrophages was observed in one female from the high dose group only. Haemorrhages and bron pigment deposition (e.g. haemosiderin, ceroid lipofusin) are background lesions commonly observed in lymph nodes of rats (McInnes, 2000, 2017, Stefanski et al 1990). Furthermore, in this present study the incidence and severity of the above mentioned changes was similar to the published data and all observed in the mesenteric lymph nodes changes were considered to be most likely incidental and deemed to be not test item related (McInnes, 2012, 2017).

- Description (incidence and severity):
- Thyroid hormones:
T3 was significantly elevated in females at both the mid and high dose groups, exceeding, but were not deemed biologically relevant for the following reasons:
- Due to the lack of historical control data, in this instance, the biological relevance assessment should be made against the concurrent control group which had an individual animal range of 0.73 – 2.01 ng/mL. In the treated groups, 2/10, 5/10 and 5/10 animals exceeded the upper concurrent vehicle control range for the low, mid and high dose groups respectively. No dose response relationship was evident at the individual animal level. These data are consistent with open literature data drawn on a greater number of studies.
- The changes observed were not replicated in each sex.
- No associated histopathological changes in the liver, thyroid or pituitary gland were observed.
- Both T4 and TSH levels were comparable with the concurrent vehicle control.
Refer to Table 7.8.2/02-6
Spermatogenesis:
There were treatment related effects observed in mean testis weights, mean sperm count, mean sperm motility for all dose groups in the treatment period. Mean total number of abnormal and normal sperms/findings and sperm morphology for high dose group animals were comparable with the vehicle control.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Under the conditions of this study, the NOAEL is deemed to be 1000 mg/kg bw/day for males and females based on no adverse effects when tested up to a maximum recommended concentration for repeat dose toxicity studies.
- Executive summary:
In this study, 3-methylpentane-1,5-diol was administered once via oral gavage for 90 days to Wistar rats. Animals (10/sex/group) were administered test article formulations at concentrations of 0 (water for injection), 100, 300, or 1000 mg/kg bw/day. Body weight and food consumption were measured at regular intervals with neurological function examination performed. Clinical pathology evaluations (haematology, clinical chemistry (including thyroid hormones) and urinalysis) were performed with all surviving animals subjected to complete gross necropsy. All control and high dose group animals were subjected to a full histopathology. Spermatogenesis assessments were made on all male animals at necropsy.
No treatment-related effects were seen on survival, clinical signs, haematological and clinical chemistry parameters, urinalysis or in neurological parameters (FOBs), organ weight, histopathology or spermatogenesis.
Whilst no toxicologically relevant findings attributed to the test article were observed in either sex, a statistically significant lower mean score for response to open field grooming, handling, spontaneous activity and rearing supported in high dose group males were observed. A statistically significant lower mean body temperature was measured in the low and mid dose groups. These changes were considered unrelated to test article administration and deemed serendipitous because: i) the effects were not replicated in the high dose group (temperature); ii) there were no significant differences in any functional observations; iii) the effects were not replicated in females.
Under the conditions of this study, the NOAEL is deemed to be 1000 mg/kg bw/day for males and females based on no adverse effects when tested up to a maximum recommended concentration for repeat dose toxicity studies.
