- Litter observations:
- PARAMETERS EXAMINED
The following parameters were examined in F1 offspring: number and sex of pups, stillbirths, live births, postnatal mortality, presence of gross anomalies.
GROSS EXAMINATION OF DEAD PUPS: yes, for external abnormalities. - Postmortem examinations (parental animals):
- GROSS NECROPSY
All adult animals - complete gross necropsy (external surfaces, orifices, cranial, thoracic and abdominal cavities)
Females - number of corpora lutea, implantation sites.
HISTOPATHOLOGY / ORGAN WEIGHTS
The tissues indicated in Table 2 from the control and high dose groups were prepared for microscopic examination and/or weighed
In the case of the kidney, identified as a likely target organ, tissues were taken from all male dose groups.
The following tissues were also taken from mid-dose males: urinary bladder, prostate, heart, stomach and liver; and mid-dose females: urinary bladder, kidney, stomach and liver.
IMMUNOHISTOCHEMISTRY
The microscopic findings in the kidney were not indicative of alpha 2U globulin accumulation and therefore tissues were not sent for immunohistochemical staining - Postmortem examinations (offspring):
- Dead pups and pups terminated on PND4 were only examined for external gross abnormalities.

CLINICAL SIGNS
Muzzle soiling: 0, 3, 7,10 (m); 5, 2, 8, 10 (f)
Repetitive paw pressing (transient after dosing): 0, 5, 5, 10 (m); 0, 2, 7, 10 (f)
BODY WEIGHT
Statistically significant decreases in body weight (12%) and body weight gain (32%) in 1000 mg/kg bw/day males compared to controls on day 29, considered test article related. No such clear effect in females.
FOOD CONSUMPTION
No treatment-related effect on mean food consumption in males, but a statistically significant increase in food consumption in 1000 mg/kg bw/day females during study days 1-8 (13.4%), gestational days (GDs) 0-7 (10.5%) and in overall food consumption (2.7%). An increase in food consumption was seen in 30 mg/kg bw/day females during GDs 0-7 (10.6%). No toxicological significance was attributed to this effect.
FUNCTIONAL OBSERVATIONAL BATTERY AND MOTOR ACTIVITIES
No treatment-related statistically significant difference in FOB categories or motor activity data in either sex.
CLINICAL CHEMISTRY
1000 mg/kg bw/day males had increased mean cholesterol levels (29.5% compared to controls) that were within the historical range for the laboratory, but 3/10 were above the historical range. Kidney function parameters blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine were increased in 1000 mg/kg bw/day males (183% and 200%, respectively, compared to controls; above the historical range). These finding were consistent with microscopic findings in the kidney.
Top dose females also had increased cholesterol (33% compared to concurrent controls) – the mean and individual values were within the historical range. The finding was considered not toxicologically significant.
No other treatment-related clinical chemistry effects in either sex.
HAEMATOLOGY
Males treated with 1000 mg/kg bw/day had increased neutrophils, measured as percentage and absolute, (%-66% increase) and monocytes (%-70% increase; abs-77% increase) compared to concurrent controls; the mean values for monocytes were slightly above historical controls. The decrease in lymphocytes (%-24% decrease) in 1000 mg/kg bw/day males was outside the historical range. These effects were considered secondary to kidney effects.
No significant treatment-related haematological effects in female rats and no differences in prothrombin times in either sex.
URINALYSIS
Females in the 30 and 1000 mg/kg bw/day groups had reduced urinary pH (5% and 11%, respectively) compared to concurrent controls. This effect was not considered toxicologically significant. There were no treatment-related effects on urine in males.
ORGAN WEIGHTS
1000 mg/kg bw/day males had increased relative kidney weight (36.4%), relative brain weight (12.4%) and relative testis weight (12.2%). Mean absolute brain and testis weight were similar to controls, but the kidneys were enlarged and their weight increased (18.5%, without statistical significance). Absolute liver and prostate weights were decreased (15.3% and 29.8%, respectively) but the relative weights of these organs were similar to controls or slightly but not significantly lower. Apart from the kidney weight changes these effects are probably related to the overall reduction in body weights.
30 and 1000 mg/kg bw/day females had increased absolute kidney weight. 1000 mg/kg bw/day females had increased absolute liver weight. No other absolute or relative changes in organ weights.
REPRODUCTIVE PERFORMANCE
One 300 mg/kg bw/day females was non-gravid despite evidence of mating, one 1000 mg/kg bw/day female failed to mate. Other females produced litters similar in all respects to those of controls (number of live born pups, litter weight, survival to PND4). No treatment-related reproductive or developmental effects were identified.
GROSS PATHOLOGY
Kidney effects: discoloured (pale and or mottled) kidneys (1, 4, 0, 6 (m); 0, 0, 3, 5 (f)); enlarged kidneys (0, 2, 0, 6 (m)). Two male rats at 1000 mg/kg bw/day had dilated kidneys and one had a kidney nodule. All other gross findings were sporadic and considered not treatment-related.
HISTOPATHOLOGY
Clear lesions were reported in the kidneys of all males and one female at 1000 mg/kg bw/day; the lesions varied but were described as obstructive nephropathy. The two most severely and bilaterally affected animals had other lesions (mineralization of the stomach and/or aorta) indicating they were uremic (had renal failure). The characteristic kidney lesions included: foci of pale staining globular material in the cortex or medulla, multinucleated phagocytic cells, necrotic epithelial cells, dilated tubules filled with necrotic cells and exudate, interstitial infiltration of neutrophils and lymphocytes, papillary necrosis, hyperplasia and inflammation of renal pelvis.
Hyperplasia of the urinary bladder epithelium was reported in most treated rats; statistically significant in all treated males and in females at >=300 mg/kg bw/day. In the more severely affected (typically at higher doses) the hyperplasia was associated with inflammation of the submucosa, with granulomatous inflammation and pale globular deposits (similar to that in the kidneys), in one case. The globular deposit was recorded as a calculus and considered to have caused acute urinary obstruction. Combining the various forms of inflammation, this effect was statistically significant at >=300 mg/kg bw/day in both sexes.
Inflammation of the prostate in males at 1000 mg/kg bw/day (combined incidence of minimal-moderate inflammation 2, 4, 4, 7) was considered a local effect of a material excreted in the urine that had also caused urinary bladder irritation.
Significant minimal centrilobular hepatocyte hypertrophy in 9/10 females at 10000 mg/kg bw/day was considered an adaptive change to the treatment. Decreased periportal vacuolation in 1000 mg/kg bw/day males was considered in the report probably due to the depletion of glycogen stores under stress.
Diffuse gastric gland dilation (significant-mild) occurred in all females at 1000 mg/kg bw/day with occasional single necrotic cells in these dilated glands. 6/10 males were minimally affected at this dose; controls were not affected.
Other findings were sporadic and/or typical of rats of this age and stock, and considered not to be treatment-related.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- A well reported combined repeated dose toxicity study with reproductive/developmental toxicity screening test, conducted according to the current guideline (OECD 422) and GLP, found that gavage administration of up to 1000 mg/kg bw/day to male and female rats from 2 weeks prior to mating was not associated with reproductive toxicity. Systemic effects were reported in males at 30 and females at 300 mg/kg bw/day. The NOAEL for reproductive toxicity is >1000 mg/kg bw/day based on the screening element of this study.
