Very slight decrease in G6PD enzyme activity with increasing levels of Tinopal in females. Here, too, this decrease disappeared when the enzyme activity was expressed per unit body weight

Necrosis, swelling, irregular vacuolization (Sudan III negative) and granular deterioration (eosinophylic, PAS-negative granules) of tubular epithelial cells in the renal cortex of all male and felllll1e rats at 1000 mg/kg bw.
Sloughed necrotic tubular material was often found in tubular lumens. The nuclei of viable tubular cells varied considerably in size and chromatin content. Dilated tubules lined by flattened epithelium and filled with proteinaceous casts were seen in most animals.
Moderate degree of bilateral testicular atrophy were observed in male rats at 1000 mg/kg bw.
A number of seminiferous tubules only contained Sertoli cells and occasional spermatogonia containing an irregularly vacuolated cytoplasm, Partial inhibition of spermatogenosis occurred in other tubules in which many polynucleated giant cells were seen. Varying numbers of seminiferous tubules still showed a normal development of sperm cells.
In the epididymic tubules cellular debris, scattered spermatozoa and a few giant cells were found.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

NOAEL was considered to be 200 mg/kg/day for P generation when Newly weaned albino male and female rats treated with Hexasodium 2,2'-[vinylenebis[(3-sulphonato-4,1-phenylene)imino[6-(diethylamino)-1,3,5-triazine-4,2-diyl]imino]]bis(benzene-1,4-disulphonate (Tinopal CH 3669) orally by feed for 90 days.

Executive summary:

In a Repeated Dose Toxicity Study, Newly weaned albino male and female rats treated with Hexasodium 2,2'-[vinylenebis[(3-sulphonato-4,1-phenylene)imino[6-(diethylamino)-1,3,5-triazine-4,2-diyl]imino]]bis(benzene-1,4-disulphonate (Tinopal CH 3669) in the concentration of 0, 200, 1000 and 2000 mg/kg/day orally in feed for 90 days. All animals were died at 5th week of study at 5000 mg/kg bw. Except for one female which succumbed in the 9th week. No mortality was observed in 200 and 1000 mg/kg bw treated rats. All animals looked very sick in the second week of the experiment at 5000 mg/kg bw. No abnormalities in appearance were observed in 200 and 1000 mg/kg bw treated rats. Decrease in body weight were observed in treated rats at 1000 and 5000 mg/kg bw as compared to control. Slight decrease in body weight but not significant as compared to control from week 6 onwards at 200 mg/kg bw. Decrease in food consumption were observed in treated rats at 5000 mg/kg bw and slight decrease in food consumption were observed in treated rats at 200 and 1000 mg/kg bw as compared to control. Decrease in food efficiency were observed in treated rats at 5000 mg/kg bw and slight decrease in food efficiency were observed in treated rats at 1000 mg/kg bw as compared to control. Decrease in food efficiency were observed in treated rats at 200 mg/kg bw as compared to control. Similarly, significant increase in percentage of neutrophils and White blood cell counts were observed in treated male and female rats at 1000 mg/kg bw and significant increase in Packed cell volume were observed in male rats at 200 mg/kg bw but no dose-relationship was observed. Increase in SGOT activity of females and decreased in SAP activity of males were observed at 1000 mg/kg bw, decreased SGOT activity in males at 200 mg/kg bw but not observed at 1000 mg/kg bw and is therefore considered incidental. Slight decrease in G6Pase activity with increasing levels of Tinopal was observed in females only. When the enzyme activity is expressed per unit body weight the figures show a slight tendency to increase with increasing levels of Tinopal in males, while in females there are no distinct differences between the groups. Very slight decrease in G6PD enzyme activity with increasing levels of Tinopal in females. Here, too, this decrease disappeared when the enzyme activity was expressed per unit body weight. In addition, increase in relative weights of the kidney, liver and the brain and decrease in testis and ovary weight were observed at 1000 mg/kg bw as compared to control. No effect on reproductive organ weight of 200 mg/kg bw treated male and female rats were observed as compared to control. Large, pale kidneys in all male and female rats at 1000 mg/kg bw. Most of the male rats in this group had strikingly small testicles, other les ions noted at autopsy, such as unilateral hydronephrocis, eurly signs of murine pneuronia, and proteinaceous plugs in urinary bladder, are frequently encountered in the strain of used rats. They may therefore, not be related to the ingestion of the test compound. Necrosis, swelling, irregular vacuolization (Sudan III negative) and granular deterioration (eosinophylic, PAS-negative granules) of tubular epithelial cells in the renal cortex of all male and felllll1e rats at 1000 mg/kg bw. Sloughed necrotic tubular material was often found in tubular lumens. The nuclei of viable tubulur cells varied considerably in size and chromatin content. Dilated tubules lined by flattened epithelium and filled with proteinaceous casts were seen in most animals. Moderate degree of bilateral testicular atrophy were observed in male rats at 1000 mg/kg bw. A number of seminiferous tubules only contained Sertoli cells and occasional spermatogonia containing an irregularly vacuolated cytoplasm, Partial inhibition of spermatogenosis occurred in other tubules in which many polynucleated giant cells were seen. Varying numbers of seminiferous tubules still showed a normal development of sperm cells. In the epididymic tubules cellular debris, scattered spermatozoa and a few giant cells were found. Therefore, NOAEL was considered to be 200 mg/kg/day for P generation when Newly weaned albino male and female rats treated with Hexasodium 2,2'-[vinylenebis[(3-sulphonato-4,1-phenylene)imino[6-(diethylamino)-1,3,5-triazine-4,2-diyl]imino]]bis(benzene-1,4-disulphonate (Tinopal CH 3669) orally by feed for 90 days.
