- - PREPARATION OF DOSING SOLUTIONS:
Formulations (w/w) were prepared daily within 6 hours prior to dosing (stored at room temperature) and were homogenized to a visually acceptable level. Adjustment was made for specific gravity of the vehicle (factor 1.036). The formulations were heated to a maximum of 83°C for a maximum of 1 hour under nitrogen to obtain visual homogeneity. (only on Day 1: 1 hour and 20 minutes and for 3 days without nitrogen, see deviation). Formulations were allowed to cool down below 40°C before dosing. All test item preparations appeared as white suspensions.
- VEHICLE
- Justification for use and choice of vehicle (if other than water): The choice was based on trial formulations performed at WIL Research Europe and on information provided by the Sponsor.
- Amount of vehicle (if gavage): 10 mL/kg bw - Analytical verification of doses or concentrations:
- yes
- Details on analytical verification of doses or concentrations:
- Analyses were conducted during the treatment phase, according to a validated method. Samples of formulations were analyzed for homogeneity (highest and lowest concentration) and accuracy of preparation (all concentrations), in Weeks 1, 4 and 13. Accuracy of the highest concentration was also analyzed in Week 6. Stability in vehicle over 6 hours at room temperature under normal laboratory light conditions were analyzed in Week 1 (highest and lowest concentration) and Week 4 and 6 (highest concentration).
The accuracy of preparation was considered acceptable if the mean measured concentrations were 90-110% of the target concentration for suspensions. Homogeneity was demonstrated if the coefficient of variation was ≤ 10%. Formulations were considered stable if the relative difference before and after storage was maximally 10%. - Duration of treatment / exposure:

- Details on study design:
- - Dose selection rationale:
In order to set the dose levels for the main study, and to determine the peak effect of occurrence of clinical signs after dosing, a dose range finding study was performed.
Three female rats (6-8 weeks old) per group were exposed to 500 and 1000 mg/kg body weight for 14 days (10 mL/kg body weight/day). The animals were observed daily, at 0-15 minutes, 1 hour (±15 minutes) and 3 hours (± 30 minutes) after dosing for clinical signs and twice daily for mortality. Body weight and food consumption was monitored weekly. All animals were subjected to an external, thoracic and abdominal examination on Day 15 after the last observation of clinical signs (scheduled necropsy). No organs were fixed. Animals were not deprived of food prior to necropsy. - Observations and examinations performed and frequency:
- CAGE SIDE OBSERVATIONS: Yes
- Time schedule: At least twice daily.
DETAILED CLINICAL OBSERVATIONS: Yes
- Time schedule: Clinical observations (clinical signs and arena) were conducted and functional observations were started between 1-2 hours after dosing. At least once daily from start of treatment onwards, detailed clinical observations were made in all animals after dosing. Once prior to start of
treatment and at weekly intervals, this was also performed outside the home cage in a standard arena.
BODY WEIGHT: Yes
- Time schedule for examinations: Weekly
FOOD CONSUMPTION: Yes
- Time schedule for examinations: Weekly
WATER CONSUMPTION: Yes
- Subjective appraisal was maintained during the study, but no quantitative investigation introduced as no effect was suspected.
OPHTHALMOSCOPIC EXAMINATION: Yes
- Following instillation of tropicamide solution both eyes were examined by means of an ophthalmoscope.
- Time schedule for examinations: at pretest: All animals; at Week 13: controls and high dose group animals.
HAEMATOLOGY: Yes
- Time schedule for collection of blood: at the end of the study, before sacrifice
- Anaesthetic used for blood collection: Yes (isoflurane)
- Animals fasted: Yes, animals were deprived of food overnight (for a maximum of 24 hours), but water was available
- How many animals: all
- All parameters according to guideline were examined.
CLINICAL CHEMISTRY: Yes
- Time schedule for collection of blood: at the end of the study, before sacrifice
- Anaesthetic used for blood collection: Yes (isoflurane)
- Animals fasted: Yes, animals were deprived of food overnight (for a maximum of 24 hours), but water was available
- How many animals: all
- All parameters according to guideline were examined.
FUNCTIONAL OBSERVATIONS: Yes
- Time schedule for examinations: During Week 12-13 of treatment
- Dose groups that were examined: All groups, 5 animals /sex/group (starting 1-2 hours after dosing)
- Battery of functions tested: hearing ability, pupillary reflex and static righting reflex; fore- and hind-limb grip strength; motor activity test (total movements and ambulations were reported) - Sacrifice and pathology:
- GROSS PATHOLOGY: Yes, according to the guidelines
ORGAN WEIGHTS: Yes (all major organs according to the guidelines)
HISTOPATHOLOGY: Yes
The following slides were examined by a pathologist:
- all tissues collected at the scheduled sacrifice from all control and high dose animals;
- all gross lesions. - Statistics:
- The following statistical methods were used to analyze the data:
− If the variables could be assumed to follow a normal distribution, the Dunnett-test (many-to-one t-test) based on a pooled variance estimate was applied for the comparison of the treated groups and the control groups for each sex;
− The Steel-test (many-to-one rank test) was applied if the data could not be assumed to follow a normal distribution;
− The Fisher Exact-test was applied to frequency data;
− The Kruskal-Wallis nonparametric ANOVA test was applied to motor activity data to determine intergroup differences.
All tests were two-sided and in all cases p < 0.05 was accepted as the lowest level of significance. Group means were calculated for continuous data and medians were calculated for discrete data (scores). Test statistics were calculated on the basis of exact values for means and pooled variances. - Clinical signs:
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- No clinical signs were noted during the observation period that were considered to be related to treatment. No abnormalities during weekly arena observations were noted during the observation period. Any clinical signs noted during the treatment period, including hunched posture and piloerection, occurred among all dose groups at low incidence and severity with no apparent dose-related trend. At the incidence observed, these were considered to be unrelated to treatment with the test item.
- Mortality:
- no mortality observed
- Description (incidence):
- No mortality occurred during the study period.
- Body weight and weight changes:
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- Body weights and body weight gain of treated animals remained in the same range as controls over the study period.
- Food consumption and compound intake (if feeding study):
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- Food consumption before or after correction for body weight remained similar to the control level over the study period.
- Water consumption and compound intake (if drinking water study):
- no effects observed
- Ophthalmological findings:
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- No ophthalmology findings were noted that were considered to be related to treatment. The nature and incidence of ophthalmology findings noted during pretest and in Week 13 was similar among the groups, and occurred within the range considered normal for rats of this age and strain. These findings were therefore considered to be unrelated to treatment with the test item.
- Haematological findings:
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- No toxicological relevant changes were noted in haematological parameters. A statistically significant change in relative neutrophil counts was noted in males (decrease of 14%, 20% and 21 for the males dosed at 100, 300 and 1000 mg/kg bw/day compared to control males). As the average concentration in control males was highly influenced by a single male (which had a neutrophil concentration of 33.2%) and this effects was not seen in females, this was considered to be not toxicologically relevant. In addition, a reduction in red blood cells was found in males dosed at 300 mg/kg bw/day (-5% compared to controls), and reduced prothrombin time was seen in males dosed at 100 and 300 mg/kg bw/day (respectively -6% and -4% compared to the control males). Both these effects were small, not dose-related and not seen in females, therefore it was considered to be an incidental finding and not related to exposure to the test item. In females, an increase was seen in platelets at the two highest dose groups (both groups +15% compared to control females). This observation was influenced by a single control female with a low platelet count. Taking this into account and based on the fact that no other effects were seen in females, the increased number of platelets was not considered to be toxicologically relevant.
- Clinical biochemistry findings:
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- Higher alanine phosphatase activity was measured in males and females at 1000 mg/kg bw day (+45% for males and +12% for females compared to controls). Furthermore higher glucose level in exposed males (+6%, +8% and +34% in the males exposed to 100, 500 and 1000 mg/kg bw, respectively). In females, glucose levels were only statistically significantly increased in the group exposed to 500 mg/kg bw/day compared to controls (+30%; increase at low and high dose +5% and +6%, respectively). In absence of any other adverse findings these effects were not considered to be toxicologically relevant.
Any other statistically significant changes in clinical biochemistry parameters were considered to be unrelated to treatment as these occurred in the absence of a dose-related trend. - Urinalysis findings:
- not examined
- Behaviour (functional findings):
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- Hearing ability, pupillary reflex and static righting reflex were normal in all examined animals. Grip strength was similar between control and high dose animals. The motor activity measurements showed a similar motor activity habituation profile for all dose groups with a decreasing trend in activity over the duration of the test period. An apparent trend towards higher motor activity was noted in males at 1000 mg/kg bw/day. This finding was highly influenced by one male. Since this animal showed no corroborative findings in the parameters determined in this study and the change was only slight in nature, this apparent trend was considered not toxicologically relevant.
- Immunological findings:
- not examined
- Organ weight findings including organ / body weight ratios:
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- There were no test item-related findings in organ weights.
- Gross pathological findings:
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- There were no test item-related gross observations. Any changes in macroscopic examination were considered to be unrelated to treatment as these
occurred in the absence of a dose-related trend. - Neuropathological findings:
- not examined
- Histopathological findings: non-neoplastic:
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- There were no test item-related microscopic observations. All histologic changes were considered to be incidental findings and were within the range of
background pathology encountered in rats of this age and strain. There was no test item-related alteration in the prevalence, severity, or histologic character of those incidental tissue alterations. - Histopathological findings: neoplastic:
- not examined
- Key result
- Dose descriptor:
- NOAEL
- Effect level:
- >= 1 000 mg/kg bw/day (actual dose received)
- Based on:
- test mat.
- Sex:
- male/female
- Basis for effect level:
- other: No adverse effects observed up to and including highest dose (1000 mg/kg bw/day) tested
- Key result
- Critical effects observed:
- no
- Conclusions:
- Based on the results of a 90-day study performed according to OECD/EC guidelines and GLP principles, the NOAEL for repeated sub-chronic expsoure is found to exceed 1000 mg/kg bw/day, as no adverse effects were seen at any dose level in this study.
- Executive summary:
A 90-day study was performed with URALAC P 1920C according to OECD/EC guidelines and GLP principles. Male and female rats were exposed for 90 consecutive days by daily oral gavage at dose levels of 100, 300 and 1000 mg/kg bw/day. Chemical analysis of the test item formulations and the control formulations showed that the rats were dosed correctly.
No mortality occurred during the study. No toxicologically significant changes were noted in any of the parameters determnined in this study, i.e. clinical appearance, functional observations, ophthalmoscopy, body weight, food consumption, clinical laboratory investigations, macroscopic examination, organ weights, and microscopic examination. Clinical biochemistry revealed a higher alanine phosphatase activity and a higher glucose level in males at 1000 mg/kg bw/day. These changes were not supported by any corroborative changes in parameters determined in this study, including microscopic examination and therefore considered not toxicologically significant.
Based on these results it is concluded that the NOAEL for repeated sub-chronic exposure exceeds 1000 mg/kg bw/day, as no adverse effects were seen up to and including the highest dose used in this study.
Reference
Results dose range finding study:
No mortality occurred. At 500 mg/kg bw/day, hunched posture was noted mostly at 1 and/or 3 hours after dosing in all three animals. At 1000 mg/kg bw/day, hunched posture was noted mostly at 3 hours after dosing (and/or sometimes after 1 hour) in all three animals. Salivation was noted on one day immediately after dosing in all three animals. No unexpected effects were seen on body weight and at necropsy.
Analytics:
The concentrations analysed in the test item formulations of all exposed groups were in agreement with target concentrations (i.e. mean accuracies between 85% and 112%).
A small response at the retention time of the test substance was observed in one of the chromatograms of the control group formulation prepared for use in Week 1. It was considered not to derive from the formulation since the response was not observed in the duplicate study sample. In all other formulations of the control group, no test substance was detected.
The formulations of the low dose group were homogeneous (i.e. coefficient of variation ≤ 7.3%). For the formulation of the high dose group prepared for use in Week 1, the coefficient of variation was above the criterion for homogeneity of 10% (i.e. coefficient of variation 15%). Measurements in Week 4 and Week 13 showed that formulations of the high dose group were homogeneous (i.e. coefficient of variation ≤ 5.5%).
Analysis of the low and high dose group formulations prepared in Week 1 yielded a relative difference of ≤ 8.4% after storage. Based on this, formulations at the entire range were found to be stable during storage at room temperature under normal laboratory light conditions for at least 6 hours. Analysis of the high dose group formulation prepared in Week 4 showed a significant decrease in concentration (relative difference of up to -17%). Additional analysis of the high dose group formulation prepared in Week 6 however confirmed stability of the high dose group formulations (relative difference -7.0%).
