Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The No Observed Adverse effect level (NOAEL) in relation to reproductive toxicity for the test chemical was considered to be 500 mg/Kg bw/day in male and female Crl:CD (SD) rats for both P0 and F1 generation.
Executive summary:

Combined Repeated Dose Toxicity Study with the Reproduction/ Developmental Toxicity Screening Test (OECD TG422) was performed to evaluate the toxic nature of the test chemical upon repeated dosing by oral route. The test was performed on male and female Crl:CD (SD) rats at dose levels of 0, 80, 200, 500 mg/kg/day. The animals were observed for clinical signs, body weight, food consumption, urinalysis, hematological and blood biochemistry parameters, gross and histopathological changes and reproductive performance.

in male decrease in the body weight gain (500 mg/kg/day, tendency), Decrease in the rate of body weight gain (500 mg/kg/day)was observed while in female decrease in the body weight (500 mg/kg/day), Decrease in the body weight gain(200, 500 mg/kg/day and Recovery 500 mg/kg/day), Decrease in the rate of body weight gain (Recovery 500 mg/kg/day) .in Female decrease in the food consumption (200 and 500 mg/kg/day) dose grop while male decrease in the WBC (200 and 500 mg/kg/day, tendency), Decrease in the RET (500 mg/kg/day), Decrease in the percentage of Eosinophil (500 mg/kg/day)Female: Decrease in the Hct (500 mg/kg/day and Recovery 500 mg/kg/day), Decrease in the WBC (500 mg/kg/day, tendency), Decrease in the percentage of Lymphocyte (500 mg/kg/day, tendency), Decrease in the RBC (Recovery 500 mg/kg/day), Increase in the MCHC (Recovery 500 mg/kg/day)In female atrophy of white pulp in the spleen (500 mg/kg/day) was observed .No overall adverese effects were observed on rats (male/female) including reproductive performance.

 

On the basis of observations made, The No Observed Adverse effect level (NOAEL) in relation to reproductive toxicity for the test chemical was considered to be 500 mg/Kg bw/day in male and female Crl:CD (SD) rats for both P0 and F1 generation.
