After dehydration and embedding in paraffin wax, sections were cut at 5 micrometre thickness and stained with haematoxylin and eosin. In the first instance the examination was limited to: All abnormalities in all main
phase groups and tissues listed above from all animals in the control and high dose groups at the end of the 13 weeks of treatment. Examination of the liver and spleen was extended to intermediate groups and
recovery animals. In addition, the testes and epididymides of main group animals were cut at 2-3 micrometre thickness and stained with Periodic Acid Schiff (PAS). The morphological evaluation of the seminiferous
epithelium (staging of spermatogenic cycle) was performed in all animals of the control and high dose groups at the end of the 13 weeks of treatment.
Other examinations:
The testes and epididymides of main group animals were cut at 2-3 micrometre thickness and stained with Periodic Acid Schiff (PAS). A morphological evaluation of the seminiferous epithelium (staging of
spermatogenic cycle) was performed on all animals in the control and high dose groups killed at the end of the 13 weeks of treatment. Should effects have been observed, examination would have been
extended to animals of intermediate groups and recovery groups.
Statistics:
For continuous variables the significance of the differences amongst group means was assessed by Dunnett’s test or a modified t test, depending on the homogeneity of data.
Statistical analysis of histopathological findings was carried out by means of the non parametric Kolmogorov Smirnov test.
Clinical signs:
no effects observed
Mortality:
no mortality observed
Body weight and weight changes:
no effects observed
Food consumption and compound intake (if feeding study):
no effects observed
Ophthalmological findings:
no effects observed
Haematological findings:
effects observed, non-treatment-related
Description (incidence and severity):
Leucocytosis, mainly represented by increased lymphocytes and monocytes, was noted in a number of animals from all treated groups.
Changes were with no dose-relation and males were more sensitive than females
Clinical biochemistry findings:
effects observed, non-treatment-related
Description (incidence and severity):
Fluctuations of some parameters (alkaline phosphatase, total bilirubin, triglycerides) were recorded in treated animals.
Due to the slight severity and/or absence of dose-relation, the severity of these findings was not considered to be suggestive of tissue/organ injury.
Urinalysis findings:
no effects observed
Behaviour (functional findings):
no effects observed
Organ weight findings including organ / body weight ratios:
effects observed, treatment-related
Description (incidence and severity):
Absolute and relative liver weights were increased approximately 25% in high dose (800 mg/kg bw/day males and females.
The relative weight (to terminal body weight) of the liver was also increased in Group 3 animals (200 mg/kg bw/day).
Gross pathological findings:
no effects observed
Histopathological findings: non-neoplastic:
effects observed, treatment-related
Description (incidence and severity):
Treatment-related findings were only seen in the liver of most males and females treated at 800 mg/kg bw/day.
Minimal, hepatocellular hypertrophy with centrilobular distribution, morphologically represented by a minimal increase in liver cell size, accompanied by an increase in liver weight,
when compared with controls, was commonly associated with microsomal enzyme induction and considered in this case as an adaptive response
Other effects:
no effects observed
Description (incidence and severity):
Seminiferous tubules were evaluated with respect to their stage in the spermatogenic cycle and to the integrity of the various cell types within the different stages.
Regular layering in the germinal epithelium was noted and the cycle of spermatogenesis in the high dose males was regarded as normal with no treatment-related effect apparent.

Normal physiology of the oestrous cycle (oestrus, metestrus, diestrus and proestrus) was noted in control and treated females. The morphological changes seen were normal when
compared to each “oestrus phase” in the ovaries, uterus/cervix and vagina.

Conclusions:
There were no significant changes in clinical signs, body weight or food consumption. Minor changes in some blood chemistry parameters, together with organ weights suggest an effect in the liver.
Microscopic pathology indicated changes to the liver which could be attributed to administration of the substance.
The NO(A)EL in this study was considered to be 800 mg/kg bw/day in males & females.
Executive summary:

Sub-chronic toxicity has been investigated in a study conducted according to OECD/EU test guidelines.

There were no significant changes in clinical signs, body weight or food consumption. Minor changes in some blood chemistry parameters, together with organ weights suggest an effect in the liver. Microscopic pathology indicated changes, probably adaptive, to the liver which could be attributed to administration of the substance. Examination of sex organs revealed no changes indicative of a potential effect of the substance on reproductive capacity. In partuicular, seminiferous tubules were evaluated with respect to their stage in the spermatogenic cycle and to the integrity of the various cell types within the different stages. Regular layering in the germinal epithelium was noted and the cycle of spermatogenesis in the high dose males was regarded as normal with no treatment-related effect apparent. Normal physiology of the oestrous cycle (oestrus, metestrus, diestrus and proestrus) was noted in control and treated females. The morphological changes seen were normal when compared to each “oestrus phase” in the ovaries, uterus/cervix and vagina.

The NO(A)EL in this study was considered to be 800 mg/kg bw/day in males and females.

Additional information

A repeat-dose toxicity subchronic study has been conducted according to OECD TG 408 methods and utilising dose levels of 0, 50, 200 and 800 mg/kg bw/day.

Only mild effects were observed in the animals (essentially males) dosed at 800 mg/kg/day and this dose level was regarded as the No Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL). No effects were observed at the lower doses investigated.

Justification for classification or non-classification

No significant toxicity was observed at a concentration of up to 800 mg/kg/day in a repeated-dose subchronic study of at least 90 days duration.

 

According to EU Directive 67/548/EEC and EU Classification, Labelling and Packaging of Substances and Mixtures (CLP) Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008, classification and labelling is not needed for repeated dose toxicity, as the effects seen in the repeated dose toxicity test do not indicate significant functional change or organ dysfunction occurring at levels below indicated cut-off values. Those effects that were observed are regarded as being of minimal toxicological significance insufficient to warrant classification.
