Results and discussion
Results of examinations
- Clinical signs:
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- Dark feces were noted from treatment days 7-28 in males and females treated with 200 mg/kg. Black feces were seen from treatment days 4-28 in all animals treated with 1000 mg/kg. The latter finding was also noted in all remaining animals during days 29-32 of the recovery period. Discoloration of the feces was considered to be a common passive effect caused by oral ingestion of a dyestuff, rather than a specific toxic effect of the test article.
Additionally, kinked tail was noted in one male (no. 13) of group 2 during weeks 2 and 3. Dyspnea was noted in one female (no. 55) of group 4 during week 3. These findings were considered to be incidental. All other animals were without findings. - Mortality:
- no mortality observed
- Body weight and weight changes:
- no effects observed
- Food consumption and compound intake (if feeding study):
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- The mean daily food consumption of the test article-treated animals compared favorably with those of the control animals. Evaluation of the relative food consumption did not indicate test article-related differences between groups.
- Food efficiency:
- not examined
- Water consumption and compound intake (if drinking water study):
- not examined
- Ophthalmological findings:
- not examined
- Haematological findings:
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- A slightly elevated absolute reticulocyte count was noted in males and females treated with 1000 mg/kg after four weeks' treatment when compared with the control animals. The difference from the control value attained statistical significance (p<0.05) in males only. Elevated reticulocyte counts persisted after 2 weeks' recovery in males only, and were therefore considered to be incidental. Slightly elevated proportions of high-fluorescence reticulocytes were noted in the females treated at 50 and 1000 mg/kg. In the absence of a dose-response relationship, these findings were considered to be incidental.
The plasma concentrations of methemoglobin was slightly higher in males treated with 1000 mg/kg (p<0.05) for four weeks when compared with the controls. This finding was attributed to a low control value as the post-recovery plasma methemoglobin concentration of the test article-treated group was almost unchanged, whereas the control group was more than twice that of its post-treatment value. The plasma methemoglobin concentration of test articletreated females compared favorably with that of the control females.
The slightly higher absolute white blood cell concentration (p<0.05) noted in the males treated with 1000 mg/kg after 4 weeks' treatment was attributed chiefly to the marginal increase in the absolute lymphocyte count (p<0.05). This finding was considered to be incidental, as the relative lymphocyte counts of the test article-treated and control males compared favorably. After two weeks' recovery, the absolute lymphocyte count of the test article-treated males was lower (p<0.05) than that of the controls. This finding was considered to be incidental as the relative lymphocyte count of the test article-treated males did not significantly differ from that of the control groups.
The statistically significant differences noted in females treated with 50 mg/kg (erythrocyte, platelet and absolute segmented neutrophil counts, p<0.05) and 200 mg/kg (absolute segmented neutrophil counts, p<0.05) were not noted in the females treated with 1000 mg/kg and therefore considered to be incidental.
All other parameters were similar to the control values. - Clinical biochemistry findings:
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- Significantly higher levels of albumin were noted in females treated with 200 mg/kg and 1000 mg/kg (p<0.05 and 0.01, respectively). Total protein was also significantly increased (p<0.05) in females treated with 1000 mg/kg. These changes were considered to be incidental as similar values were recorded after two weeks' recovery in females treated with 1000 mg/kg and in the absence of any effect upon these parameters in the males.
All remaining clinical biochemistry parameters of test article-treated females were considered to be similar to those of the control females. - Urinalysis findings:
- no effects observed
- Behaviour (functional findings):
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- The urine osmolality of the males treated with 1000 mg/kg was significantly higher (p<0.05) than that of the control males. This value was considered to be incidental and related to a low control value as the osmolality of the urine of males treated with 1000 mg/kg was similar with that of the historical control data.
- Immunological findings:
- not examined
- Organ weight findings including organ / body weight ratios:
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- After 4 Weeks:
A small number of statistically significant, differences to the control values were noted in males.
These comprised reduced absolute liver weights (p<0.01 at 50 mg/kg and p<0.05 at 1000 mg/kg) and reduced absolute thymus weights (p<0.01 at 50 mg/kg). In the absence of a doseresponse relationship or microscopical abnormalities, these and all differences noted between the relative organ weights of control and test article-treated males, including those which attained statistical significance, were considered to be incidental. In females, there were no statistically significant differences of absolute or relative organ weights of the test article-treated females when compared with the control females.
After 6 Weeks:
The absolute brain weight of males treated with 1000 mg/kg was increased with statistical significance (p<0.05). This finding was considered to be fortuitous as the brain to body weight ratio of these animals was identical to that of the control males. All other organ weights and ratios compared favorably with those of the control males.
The organ weights of the females treated with 1000 mg/kg were similar to those of the control females. - Gross pathological findings:
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- At the end of the four-week treatment period, dilation of the renal pelvis was noted in two males of the control group, two males treated with 200 mg/kg and one male treated with 1000 mg/kg. After the two-week recovery period, this finding was noted in one male of the control group, and one male and one female treated with 1000 mg/kg. Dilation of the uterine horns was seen after four weeks' treatment in one female treated with 1000 mg/kg. Discoloration of the seminal vesicles was noted in one control male and thickening of the thyroid gland was noted after four weeks' treatment in one male treated with 50 mg/kg.
All macroscopical abnormalities were considered to be common findings in rats of this strain and age and unrelated to the test article. - Neuropathological findings:
- no effects observed
- Histopathological findings: non-neoplastic:
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- The following histological abnormalities were noted at 1000 mg/kg bw/d :
- Kidneys: A slightly increased incidence and markedly increased severity of hyaline droplets were noted in males (which is only seen in male rats, as the male rat is prone to hyaline droplet formation in renal proximal tubular cells)
- Stomach: Moderate focal erosion of the nonglandular stomach associated with moderate inflammation, slight squamous cell hyperplasia and moderate hyperkeratosis of the nonglandular stomach was noted in one female rat.
- Lung: Minimal to slight interstitial fibrosis associated with slight, multifocal alveolitis were noted in two females. In the female rat with slight fibrosis, slight aggregations of brownish, pigment-laden alveolar macrophages were seen.
The incidence, severity and morphologic appearance of findings noted in the other organs and tissues examined at the end of the treatment and recovery periods did not distinguish test article-treated rats from controls.
All findings noted at the end of the treatment period were fully reversible within the 14-day recovery period. - Histopathological findings: neoplastic:
- no effects observed
- Other effects:
- no effects observed
- Details on results:
FUNCTIONAL OBSERVATIONAL BATTERY:
No qualitative or quantitative differences between the behavioral parameters of test article treated or control animals were noted during the fourth treatment week.

No differences in the grip strength of the fore and hind limbs was observed in the test article-treated animals compared to the control animals.
Locomotor Activity : No effect related to the treatment at 50, 200 and 1000
mg/kg.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- The No Observed Effect Level (NOEL) of is 200 mg/kg body weight/day. As the effects seen in this study are either singular findings or of no toxicological relevance for humans, the no-observed-adverse-effect-level (NOAEL) was considered to be 1000 mg/kg body weight/day.
- Executive summary:
A sub-acute toxicity study was carried out with Reactive Brown 49 according to OECD 407 and EU B.7 guideline. The test substance was administered daily by gavage to SPF-bred Wistar rats of both sexes at dose levels of 50, 200 and 1000 mg/kg body weight/day for a period of 28 days. A control group was treated concurrently with the vehicle (bidistilled water) only.
There was no mortality found. There were no treatment related effects seen for clinical signs, body weight, food consumption, haematology, clinical chemistry, urine analysis, organ weights and gross pathology. A number of microscopic findings were considered to distinguish rats treated with the test article at 1000 mg/kg bw/day from those of the control group at the end of the treatment period. These comprised of an increased incidence and severity of hyaline droplets in the kidneys of males treated with 1000 mg/kg bw/day; erosions in the non-glandular stomach, associated with inflammation, squamous cell hyperplasia and moderate hyperkeratosis in one female treated with 1000 mg/kg bw/day; interstitial fibrosis in the lungs of two female rats treated with 1000 mg/kg bw/day, associated in one rat with pigment-laden alveolar macrophages. All other microscopic findings noted a termination of treatment were considered to be incidental findings which occur commonly in rats of this strain and age. All test article-related findings noted at the end of the treatment period were fully reversible during the 14-day recovery period.
Based on the results of this study, 200 mg/kg body weight/day (group 3) of test substance was established as the no-observed effect- level (NOEL). As the above mentioned findings are either singular findings or of no toxicological relevance for humans, the no-observed-adverse-effect-level (NOAEL) was considered to be 1000 mg/kg body weight/day.
