Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Test animals

Species:
rat
Strain:
other: (CRL:COBS CD (SD) BR)
Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
Female (CRL:COBS CD (SD) BR) rats were paired with a sexually mature male of the same strain. Females were examined daily for the presence of a copulatory plug. The presence of such a plug was taken as evidence of mating and designated as Day 0 of gestation. The female rats were 11 weeks of age at the time of the first dose. Mated female were assigned to groups so as to have 20 animals in control, 1000, 3000 and 10000 mg/kg dose level groups.

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
oral: gavage
Analytical verification of doses or concentrations:
yes
Details on analytical verification of doses or concentrations:
Mated female were assigned to groups so as to have 20 animals in control, 1000, 3000 and 10000 mg/kg dose level groups.
Details on mating procedure:
Female (CRL:COBS CD (SD) BR) rats were paired with a sexually mature male of the same strain. Females were examined daily for the presence of a copulatory plug. The presence of such a plug was taken as evidence of mating and designated as Day 0 of gestation. The female rats were 11 weeks of age at the time of the first dose. Mated female were assigned to groups so as to have 20 animals in control, 1000, 3000 and 10000 mg/kg dose level groups.On Day 20 of gestation the adult female rats were anesthetized with chloroform and the visceral and thoracic organs examined. The uterus was removed and opened. The number of implantation sites and their placement in the uterine horns, live and dead fetuses and resorption sites were recorded. The fetuses were removed examined externally for abnormalities and weighed.
One third of the fetuses of each litter were fixed in Bouin’s fluid. These were later examined for changes in the soft tissues of the head, thoracic and visceral organs. The remaining fetuses of each litter were examined for skeletal abnormalities following staining with Alizarin Red S.

Details on study design:

Mated female were assigned to groups so as to have 20 animals in control, 1000, 3000 and 10000 mg/kg dose level groups.
On Day 20 of gestation the adult female rats were anesthetized with chloroform and the visceral and thoracic organs examined. The uterus was removed and opened. The number of implantation sites and their placement in the uterine horns, live and dead fetuses and resorption sites were recorded. The fetuses were removed examined externally for abnormalities and weighed.
One third of the fetuses of each litter were fixed in Bouin’s fluid. These were later examined for changes in the soft tissues of the head, thoracic and visceral organs. The remaining fetuses of each litter were examined for skeletal abnormalities following staining with Alizarin Red S.
The uterus and ovaries from the adult females were preserved in 10% formalin for possible future examination, but no further examinations were judged to be necessary.

Examinations

Results (fetuses)

Fetal body weight changes:
no effects observed
Description (incidence and severity):
Mean body weight and food consumption indicated no significant difference between control and treated pregnant rats.
Changes in sex ratio:
no effects observed
Other effects:
no effects observed
Description (incidence and severity):
Mean body weight and food consumption indicated no significant difference between control and treated pregnant rats.
Details on embryotoxic / teratogenic effects:
There was no evidence of substance teratogenicity, variation in sex ratio, embryo toxicity or inhibition of fetal growth and development.

Effect levels (fetuses)

Dose descriptor:
other: NOAC
Effect level:
ca. 3 000 mg/kg diet
Basis for effect level:
fetal/pup body weight changes

Fetal abnormalities

Abnormalities:
no effects observed

Lowest effective dose / conc.:
10 000 mg/kg diet

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
There was no evidence of substance teratogenicity, variation in sex ratio, embryo toxicity or inhibition of fetal growth and development. The NOAEC is therefore considered to be 10 000 mg/kg.
