Test animals

Species:
rat
Strain:
Wistar
Remarks:
CRL
Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
Selection of animal species: laboratory rat has been chosen because our testing laboratory has long experience with this species and because rat is recommended according to the test guideline
Strain: Wistar CRL (SPF quality - guaranteed)
Sex: females (males – only for mating)

Total number of animals: 6 per group
Acclimatization: 13 days



Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
oral: gavage
Vehicle:
water
Details on exposure:
The test item concentration at single dose level was adjusted so that the administered volume was constant at all dose levels: 1 ml/100 g body weight.
The animals were without feed two hours before application and two hours after application of the test item.
Details on mating procedure:
After acclimatization females were mated with males (1 male and 1 female). Control of fertilization was made by the help of the vaginal smears. Vaginal smears were carried out after 24 hours of the first removing to male and then daily at the same time and the presence of sperms were examined. Day 0 of pregnancy was the day on which sperms in vaginal smear were found out.
Frequency of treatment:
daily - 7 days per week at the same time (8.00 – 10.00 am)
Duration of test:
Exposition lasted from implantation (the 5th day after fertilization) to one day prior to the day of scheduled euthanasia (the 19th day after fertilization).

Examinations

Maternal examinations:
- Examination of vaginal smears of females
Each morning in the mating period vaginal smears were prepared from all mated females. These smears were stained and examined microscopically for presence of spermatozoa. Day 0 of pregnancy was the day when sperms were observed.

- Body weight of females:1st, 5th, 8th, 11th, 14th, 17th and 20th day of pregnancy

- Mortality of females: twice daily

- Health condition control of females: daily, before the application of the test item

- Clinical observations of the females: twice a day (except weekend, when clinical observation was performed once a day)

- Haematology examination: blood samples were collected from the orbital plexus by glass micropipette under the light diethyl ether narcosis into the PVC test tubes containing anticoagulation systems.
Basic blood parameters: total erythrocyte count, total leucocyte count, mean corpuscule volume, haematocrit, haemoglobin concentration, total platelet count – 20th day of pregnancy

- Pathological examination of females: 20th day of pregnancy




Ovaries and uterine content:
Number of implantations, corpora lutea and resorptions

No adverse changes of health condition and no clinical symptoms of intoxication were found in females at any dose level after administration of the test item.
The haematological examination did not show significant differences among dose levels.
The pathological examination of females and foetuses revealed no serious macroscopic changes.
The reproduction parameters were not changed at any dose levels.
Executive summary:

The oral administration of the test item to pregnant females by gavage from the 5th to the 19th day of pregnancy at the dose levels 100, 300 and 1000 mg/kg/day did not cause mortality of pregnant females.

No adverse changes of health condition and no clinical symptoms of intoxication were found in females at any dose level after administration of the test item.

The haematological examination did not show significant differences among dose levels.

The pathological examinationof females and foetuses revealed no serious macroscopic changes.

The reproduction parameters were not changed at any dose levels.

Based on these findings and the results obtained from studies on other category compounds, the highest tested dose for the main study was selected.
