- The number of corpora lutea and former implantation sites were recorded. Nongravid uteri were stained using the Salewski technique.
Samples of the following tissues and organs were collected and fixed in 10% buffered formalin:
Identification marks (not processed), Preputial gland, Cervix, Prostate gland, Clitoral gland, Seminal vesicles, Coagulation gland, Testes*, Epididymides*, Uterus, Ovaries, Vagina, Pituitary gland, All gross lesions
* Fixed in modified Davidson's solution and transferred to formalin after fixation for at least 24 hours.
ORGAN WEIGHTS
Epididymides

HISTOPATHOLOGY:
The following slides were examined by a pathologist:
- The ovaries and epididymides of the animals of Groups 1 and 4 and testes of all groups.
- The additional slides of the testes of the males of Groups 1 and 4 to examine staging of spermatogenesis.
- The reproductive organs (cervix, clitoral gland, coagulation gland, epididymides, ovaries, preputial gland, prostate gland, seminal vesicles, testis, uterus, and vagina) of all animals that failed to mate, conceive, sire or deliver healthy offspring.
- The preserved organs and tissues of the animals of all dose groups which died spontaneously.
- All gross lesions of all animals (all dose groups). - Ovaries and uterine content:
- See maternal examinations.
- Fetal examinations:
- PARAMETERS EXAMINED
The following parameters were examined in offspring:
number and sex of pups, stillbirths, live births, postnatal mortality, presence of gross anomalies, weight gain, physical or behavioural abnormalities,
GROSS EXAMINATION OF DEAD PUPS:
yes, for external abnormalities; possible cause of death was not determined for pups born or found dead.
SACRIFICE
- Animals were subjected to external postmortem examinations.
GROSS NECROPSY
The stomach was examined for the presence of milk. Descriptions of all external abnormalities were recorded.
If possible, defects or cause of death were evaluated. Any abnormal pup, organ or tissue was preserved in 10% buffered formalin, for possible further examination. - 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 (Dunnett, 1955) (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 (Miller, 1981) (many-to-one rank test) was applied if the data could not be assumed to follow a normal distribution.
- The Fisher Exact-test (Fisher 1950) was applied to frequency data.
- The corpora lutea and implantation sites were subjected to the Kruskal-Wallis onparametric ANOVA test (Kruskal, 1952) to determine intergroup difference. As no results of the ANOVA were significant (p<0.05), the Wilcoxon test (Wilcoxon, 1945) was not applied to the data.
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) in the summary tables. Test statistics were calculated on the basis of exact values for means and pooled variances. Individual values, means and standard deviations may be rounded off before printing. Therefore, two groups may display the same printed means for a given parameter, yet display different test statistics values.
No statistical analysis was performed on histopathology findings. - Indices:
- For each group the following calculations were performed:
Percentage mating males = (Number of females mated/Number of males paired) x 100
Percentage mating females = (Number of females mated/Number of females paired) x 100
Fertility index males = (Number of males generating a pregnancy/Number of males paired) x 100
Fertility index females = (Number of pregnant females/Number of females paired) x 100
Conception rate = (Number of pregnant females/Number of females mated)x 100
Gestation index = (Number of females bearing live pups/Number of pregnant females) x 100
Duration of gestation = Number of days between confirmation of mating and the beginning of parturition
Percentage live males at first litter check: Number of live male pups at First Litter Check x 100/Number of live pups at First Litter Check
Percentage live females at first litter check: Number of live female pups at First Litter Check x 100/Number of live pups at First Litter Check
Percentage of postnatal loss Days 0-4 of lactation: Number of dead pups on Day 4 of lactation x 100/Number of live pups at First Litter Check
Viability index: Number of live pups on Day 4 of lactation x 100/Number of pups born alive

Any other information on results incl. tables
At 1000 mg/kg (Group 4), postnatal loss was significantly increased to 10.9% of living pups lost from Days 0-4 post-partum compared to no pups lost in the control Group. In addition, there was a corresponding reduction in the viability index for Group 4, with a viability index of 89.1% compared to 100% for controls. As the postnatal loss was driven exclusively by one litter (female no. 71) that lost 16 pups over Days 0-4 post partum, it is considered not to reflect treatment-related toxicity.
In absence of a dose response relationship, no relevance was attached to the changed sex ratio observed at 150 mg/kg (sex ratio males/females was 60/40% in group 3 compared to 42/58% in the control group).
One pup of the control group, two pups of the mid dose group and sixteen pups of high dose group were found dead or missing during the first days of lactation. The increased number of pups found dead or missing in Group 4 was driven exclusively by one litter (female no. 71) that lost all but one pup over Days 0-4 post partum. As only one litter was affected, it is considered not to reflect treatment-related toxicity
Incidental clinical symptoms consisted of small and/or pale appearance, scabs on the nose and missing tail. No relationship with treatment was established for these observations and/or they were considered to be within the normal biological variation for rats of this age and strain.
Incidental macroscopic findings comprised small appearance, no milk in the stomach, missing tail and scabs on the nose. No relationship with treatment was established for these observations and/or they were considered to be within the normal biological variation for rats of this age and strain.
Macroscopic findings of pups that were found dead at the first litter check or in the days prior to scheduled necropsy included small size, cold, absence of milk in the stomach and/or autolysis. Cannibalism and stomach not present was noted for three of the sixteen pups that were lost from litter no. 71 (Group 4, 1000 mg/kg). No relationship with treatment was established for these findings.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Accuracy, homogeneity and stability of formulations were demonstrated by analyses.
There were no treatment-related changes for mortality, clinical signs, body weight, food consumption or organ weights. Furthermore, macroscopic and microscopic examination did not reveal any findings that were related to treatment with AD-1000 up to 1000 mg/kg.
There were no treatment-related changes for reproduction, breeding data and pup development up to 1000 mg/kg/day. At 1000 mg/kg, increased postnatal loss and reduced viability index was noted. However, as this effect was driven exclusively by one litter (female no. 71) that lost all but one pup over Days 0-4 post partum, it is considered not to reflect treatment-related toxicity.
CONCLUSION
In conclusion, treatment with AD-1000 by oral gavage in male and female Wistar Han rats at dose levels of 50, 150 and 1000 mg/kg body weight/day revealed no parental, reproduction, breeding and developmental toxicity up to 1000 mg/kg body weight/day.
The parental, reproduction, breeding and developmental NOAEL was established as being at least 1000 mg/kg body weight/day.
