Clinical Observations
There were clinical signs moving the bedding, salivation and piloerection observed dose responsive with respect to both frequency and severity in dose groups due to test item treatment. These signs were immediately after the dose administration and were considered to be due to local effect of test item treatment and were non adverse. Low incidences of crust, nasal discharge (red), diarrhea, alopecia and half eyelid closure were in isolated females in all groups, including control. As these findings were mostly transient and seen irrespective of the groups in isolated animals, they were considered to be incidental.
Body Weight
There were no statistically significant changes in body weight or body weight gain in dose group animals compared to control. A markedly lower mean weight gain in the 1000 mg/kg bw/day group (1.83 g) compared to control (4.24 g) was observed for GD 5-8, but this reduction was not statistically significant. This was a transient change and was considered to be of minor toxicological relevance. The terminal and adjusted maternal body weight was not affected due to treatment as there were no statistically significant changes between the control and the dose groups.
Food Consumption
There was statistically significantly lower food consumption observed in 1000 mg/kg bw/day group when compared to control after GD 5-8, GD 8-11, GD 17-20 and GD 0-20. The food consumption in this group was lower by 5.6 % to 16.6% when compared to control. However, all mean and most individual values were within recent historical control ranges reported in this laboratory. This finding was not considered adverse as the terminal and adjusted maternal body weight was not statistically significantly different in the 1000 mg/kg bw/day group compared to control group.
Pathology
No findings of toxicological relevance were observed in treated animals when compared to the controls. However, there was a single isolated incidence of dark red and soft liver with cyst on lobus sinister lateralis in 100 mg/kg bw/day group. There was also single isolated incidence of ovary cyst (unilateral, right) in the same group. These findings were considered to be incidental.
Organ Weight
There were statistically significantly higher absolute and relative (to terminal body weight) liver weights in the 300 and 1000 mg/kg bw/day groups when compared to the control group. Based on the interpretation of a similar effect in the 28 days oral repeated dose toxicity study with same test item, this was not considered to be an adverse effect of treatment.

External examination
There were no statistically significant external observations in any of the dose groups compared to the controls. The few abnormalities were observed (hematoma in fore- or hindpaw, head or leg) were considered to be incidental in nature and unrelated to treatment.
Skeletal examination
Skeletal examination of the Alizarin red stained foetuses revealed a range of observations which were generally of a type or which occurred at an incidence comparable to or lower in dose groups when compared to the control group or were seen only at the MD or LD dose groups and were not dose dependent.
There was a statistically significantly higher incidence of “full 14th rib (bilateral)” at 1000 mg/kg bw/day (18 incidences in 9 litters) when compared to the concurrent control (2 incidences in 2 litters). This observation was above the historical control data range. This observation is a skeletal variation and in rats is a result of developmental delays in a labile region of the axial skeleton and not a manifestation of a teratogenic event. Therefore, this observation was not considered to be an adverse effect of test item treatment.
Thirteenth vertebral thoracic arch and centra were absent in 2 litters at 1000 mg/kg bw/day, but were none observed in the concurrent control group. This observation is a rare event and in the absence of statistically significant differences between the dose and control groups, the observation was not considered to be an adverse effect of test- item treatment.
There were also higher incidences of “full 14th rib (right)” and “pelvic girdle ilium (B) shift” in the dose groups when compared to concurrent and historical controls (except “ pelvic girdle ilium shift” at 300 mg/kg bw/day wherein the percent litter incidence was within historical control range). In the absence of statistically significant differences and dose response relation, the observation was not considered to be an adverse effect of test- item treatment.
Visceral examination
Internal examinations of foetal viscera by the free-hand-microdissection technique revealed a range of visceral observations which were generally of a type or which occurred at an incidence comparable to or lower in dose groups when compared to the control group or were seen only at 300 or 100 mg/kg bw/day and were not dose dependent.
There was a statistically significantly higher incidence of “thymus- cervical remnants” at 1000 mg/kg bw/day when compared to controls. The thymic remnant is a visceral variation thought to be a change suggesting growth inhibition rather than teratogenicity. It is considered that the indices for evaluation of growth fetuses are related to morphological development of external differentiation and viscera and progress of ossification. In this study there were no changes suggestive of fetal growth inhibition considering fetal and litter weights. Therefore, this observation was not considered to be an adverse effect of test item treatment .
There were also higher incidences of liver- extra tissue at medium lobe and supernumerary liver lobe at 1000 mg/kg bw/day. These observations are not uncommon. Further, in the absence of statistically significant differences and dose response relation the observation was not considered to be an adverse effect of test- item treatment.
The remaining visceral abnormalities observed in the dose groups were at frequencies generally comparable to or in some cases slightly higher or lower in frequency compared to the controls and were statistically insignificant.
Craniofacial examination
The craniofacial examination by the razor blade serial sectioning technique revealed a range of abnormalities which were generally of a type or which occurred at an incidence comparable to or lower in dose groups when compared to the control group or were seen only at 300 or 100 mg/g bw/day and were not dose dependent. The statistical analysis showed no statistically significant differences.
The percent litter incidence “3rd ventricle- slightly dilated” was higher at 1000 mg/kg bw/day when compared to concurrent control. The percent litter incidence in dose groups including the concurrent control were higher than the historical control. This incidence was not statistically significantly different and was also seen in 10/21 litters of control group. Therefore, this was not considered to be an adverse effect of test item treatment.

Dose Formulation Analysis
Formulation analysis was performed on samples of all dose groups collected at various intervals during the study. The concentration verification of samples of all dose groups was investigated in study weeks 1, and 6 (last week). The mean recoveries in 100, 300 and 1000 mg/kg bw/day groups were 98.9%, 106.2% and 110% of the nominal concentration, respectively.
The Stability of formulation samples of 100 and 1000 mg/kg bw/day dose groups was investigated in study week 1. The recoveries after 6 hours storage at room temperature compared to starting value was 97.3% (100 mg/kg bw/day) and 98.7% (1000 mg/kg bw/day). The recoveries after 10 days storage (2-8oC) compared to starting value was 96.5% (100 mg/kg bw/day) and 87.9% (1000 mg/kg bw/day). The formulation sample was stable at 6 hours (room temperature) and 10 days (2-8 oC).
The Homogeneity of formulation samples of 100 and 1000 mg/kg bw/day dose groups was determined in study week 1 and 6 (last week). The mean recoveries observed for 100 mg/kg bw/day dose group was between 100.8 % and 93.1% of the nominal value and between 104.9% and 108.7% of the nominal value for 1000 mg/kg bw/day dose group. The coefficients of variation of the different sampling levels (top, middle and bottom) were between 3.3% and 4.0% in 100 mg/kg bw/day dose group, between 3.6% and 1.6% in 1000 mg/kg bw/day dose group.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- In a prenatal developmental toxicity study conducted according to OECD Test Guideline 414 and in compliance with GLP, oral administration of cyclohexyldimethoxymethylsilane at 0, 100, 300 or 1000 mg/kg bw/day to pregnant female Wistar rats from gestation days 5 to 19 resulted in lower food consumption at 1000 mg/kg bw/day and higher liver weight at 300 and 1000 mg/kg bw/day. Foetal examination revealed a higher litter incidence of the soft tissue observation thymus-cervical remnant and the skeletal observation of 14th full rib (bilateral). None of the maternal or foetal effects were considered to be adverse, therefore the maternal and foetal no-observed-adverse-effect-level were considered to be equal to 1000 mg/kg bw/day, the highest dose tested.
