- Sacrifice on gestation day 20
On gestation day 20, sperm positive females were subjected to a caesarean section after sacrificing the animals using an overdose of pentobarbital injected intraperitoneally at a dosage of approximately 8 mL/kg bw.
At the time of termination, the dam (presumed pregnant female) was examined macroscopically for any structural abnormalities or pathological changes, which may have influenced the pregnancy. Unusual growth in fat tissue attached to the uterus (with oviduct and cervix) of female no. 60 of MD group was preserved in 4% neutral-buffered formaldehyde for potential histopathological examination.
Immediately after the termination, the uteri were removed, and the pregnancy status of the dams was confirmed. Uteri that appear non-gravid were further examined by staining with 10 % ammonium sulphide solution to confirm the non-pregnant status.
Each gravid uterus with the cervix was weighed. The number of corpora lutea was counted for pregnant animals. The uterine contents were examined for embryonic or fetal deaths as well as the number of viable fetuses. The degree of resorption (late and early) was confirmed in order to help estimate the relative time of death of the conceptus. The position and number of fetuses in each uterine horn was also recorded.

Results and discussion
Results: maternal animals
General toxicity (maternal animals)
- Clinical signs:
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- There were no adverse clinical signs in the animals of the control and test-tem treated groups. Alopecia (on various parts- hindlimb, forelimb, abdomen and dorsal back of the body) was noted in a few animals of control and dose groups. There was no dose-response relationship for this finding and it was considered spontaneous.
- Dermal irritation (if dermal study):
- not examined
- Mortality:
- no mortality observed
- Body weight and weight changes:
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- There were no effects on body weight and body weight gain. Slight, statistically significantly higher mean body weights were noted in LD and HD groups on GD 0, 5, 8 and 11 and also on GD 14 in LD group. These changes were not dose-dependent and as noted already prior to dosing not considered test item related. The mean body weights on GD 17 and GD 20 in dose groups were comparable to the corresponding control group. No statistically significant changes in body weight gain were noted between treated and control groups.
- Food consumption and compound intake (if feeding study):

A statistically significantly higher number of mean male fetuses was observed in LD group compared to the control, which in the absence of dose-response relation was considered incidental. Higher mean post-implantation losses in MD and HD groups compared to the control, were in the absence of dose-response relationship and absence of statistical significance were not considered test item related. Further, all mean values for percent pre- and postimplantation loss observed in control and test item treated groups were within the range of historical control data (0 to 51.20 % and 0 to 32.15 %, respectively).
There was a single dead fetus in female no. 100 of HD group, which was an isolated incident and was considered incidental.
Slightly higher numbers of early and total resorptions were noted in the HD group compared to the control group. However, the values in test-item groups were not statistically significantly different compared to the control and the mean values were also within the range of the historical control data (0 to 2.7 %). Therefore, the findings were not considered an adverse effect of test item treatment. - Pre- and post-implantation loss:

Results (fetuses)
- Fetal body weight changes:
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- The mean fetal weight in the HD group was statistically significantly lower compared to the control group value (3.38 g in HD Vs 3.70 g in C). However, the numbers of live fetuses and total litter weight were not statistically different in HD group compared to the control. Further, the mean fetal weight in HD group was within the range of historical control data (2.63 g to 4.71 g). However in light of other findings potentially indicative of embryotoxicity (delayed ossification of bones) a test item-related effect on fetal weights in the HD group cannot be ruled out.
The mean male litter weight in the LD group was statistically significantly higher compared to the control value (26.23 g in LD Vs 20.80 g in C). In the absence of a dose- response relationship, this finding was considered incidental.
There were no statistically significant differences noted for total litter weight and female litter weight of treated groups compared to the corresponding control.
There were comparable numbers of fetuses in both (left and right) uterine horns of control and test item treated groups.

- Changes in sex ratio:
- no effects observed
- Changes in litter size and weights:
- no effects observed
- Changes in postnatal survival:
- not examined
- External malformations:
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- Hematoma was noted in few isolated fetuses from all test item treated and control groups without any dose- response relationship. This finding was concluded as not related to treatment with the test item. Malformations were noted in two fetuses of the HD group. Fetus No. 7 (dam no. 81) had an absent left eye and misshapen snout. Fetus no. 5 (dam no. 82) had an umbilical hernia. However, these malformations occurred in single isolated fetuses of the HD group and additionally, the finding absent eye was within the historical control range. Therefore, these findings were considered spontaneous in origin. One fetus of the control group was noted with a malformation (right hindlimb rotated).
- Skeletal malformations:
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- The fetal skeletal examinations found a statistically significantly increased incidence of findings in the HD group, including incomplete ossification of skull frontal bone (bilateral) (35% in HD and 0% in C), zygomatic arch (right) (35% in HD and 5% in C) and supraoccipital bone (80% in HD and 35% in C); statistically significantly higher incidence of unossified metacarpals (60% in HD and 10% in C); statistically significantly higher incidences of rudimentary right cervical rib (7th) (25% in HD and 0% in C); statistically significantly higher incidences of wavy ribs (80% in HD and 45% in C); and a statistically significantly higher incidence of misshapen humerus (25% in HD and 0% in C). In addition, a statistically significantly increased incidence of incomplete ossification of parietal bone (bilateral) was noted in the in MD group (65% in MD and 25% in C), and a statistically significantly increased incidence of incomplete ossification of pelvic girdle pubis in LD group (23% in LD and 0% in C).
Moreover, increased incidences of incomplete ossification of frontal (bilateral) (20% in MD group and 0% in C) , hyoid body (25% in HD and 5% in C), interparietal (75% in MD, 85% in HD and 55% in C), bent scapula and spine (right sided) (15% in HD and 0% in C), bent scapula (right sided and bilateral) (25% and 20% in HD and 5% and 0% in C, respectively). These findings did not attain the statistical significance compared to the corresponding control.
When compared to historical control data (HCD), the majority of these skeletal findings occurred at a higher incidence than HCD mean value, but for most observations within HCD ranges. However, there were incidences which were either outside the range of HCD or the HCD incidence was 0.
The findings of incomplete ossification of various bones, including frontal, zygomatic, supraoccipital, metacarpals and hyoid body are variations associated with delayed ossification and transient in nature. Also wavy ribs are conformational bone changes that are transient and reversible [11] [17] and of minor toxicological significance. In combination with the observed lower fetal weight these findings are considered a sign of test item related embryotoxicity in the HD group. In the absence of associated signs of adverse effects, the increased incidence of incomplete ossification of parietal bone, rudiementary 14th rib, bent scapula and long bones observed in the MD group is not considered an adverse effect of the test item [17]. The increased incidence of incomplete ossification of pelvic girdle pubis in the LD group did not show dose-response relationship and was therefore concluded not to be related to treatment with the test item. The other skeletal findings listed in the above table were statistically not significantly different compared to the corresponding control and/or were not dose response related.
The statistically significantly higher incidences of rudimentary cervical rib (7th) in HD group are considered adverse effects of treatment with the test item because the cervical ribs causes considerable adverse effects in human [11], but in rats it is a minor variation [16]. The misshapened bones represent malformations, irrespective of the structure concerned [11], thus the statistically significantly higher incidences of misshapen humeri in HD group was an adverse effect of test-item treatment. - Visceral malformations:

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- On the basis of this prenatal developmental toxicity study in Wistar pregnant female rats with IPETC at dose levels of 3, 10, and 30 mg/ kg body weight/ day administered on gestation days 5 to 19, the following conclusions can be made: There were no test item related findings in maternal animals.
There were increased incidences of rudimentary cervical rib (7th) and misshapen humerus in high dose (HD) group compared to the corresponding control and were considered to be adverse effects. In addition, in the same group, increased incidences of reversible skeletal variations and reduced fetal weights were considered signs of test item related embryotoxicity. Thus, the NOAEL for the maternal toxicity is 30 mg/ kg body weight/ day and the NOAEL for the embryo-fetal developmental toxicity is 10 mg/ kg body weight/ day. - Executive summary:
Developmental toxicity test was done according to OECD Guideline 414. Wistar pregnant female rats were exposed to test item concentration of 3, 10 and 30mg/kg bw/day for 20 days. There were no test item related findings in maternal animals. There were increased incidences of rudimentary cervical rib (7th) and misshapen humerus in high dose (HD) group compared to the corresponding control and were considered to be adverse effects. In addition, in the same group, increased incidences of reversible skeletal variations and reduced fetal weights were considered signs of test item related embryotoxicity. Thus, the NOAEL for the maternal toxicity is 30 mg/ kg body weight/ day and the NOAEL for the embryo-fetal developmental toxicity is 10 mg/ kg body weight/ day.
