Description of key information

Reproductive toxicity study

Based on the data available from different studies, NOAEL for test material was considered to be 393.6 mg/kg bw/day for F0, F1 generation. When male and female rats were treated with test material orally. Thus, comparing this value with the criteria of CLP regulation test material is not likely to classify as reproductive toxicant.

Additional information

Reproductive toxicity study

Data available from different studies were reviewed to determine the reproductive toxicity of testchemical.The studies are as mentioned below:

Study 1

In a two generation reproductive toxicity study, rats were treated with test material in the concentration of 2 mg every other day in diet. No effects on reproduction of P, F1 and F2 generation were observed in treated rats at 2 mg. Therefore, NOAEL was considered to be 2 mg/kg in P0, F1 and F2 generation when rats were treated with test material orally in diet for 8 months.

Study 2

In a 28 days repeated dose toxicity study, the effect of test material was evaluated in male and female Sprague Dawley rats. The test chemical was administered by oral gavage in the concentration of 0, 125, 250 or 500 mg/kg body weight/day. The results showed that methyl 2-naphthyl ether significantly increased the level of testosterone in the 500 mg/kg body weight/day group as well as it significantly increased the level of estrogen in the 250 mg/kg body weight/day group .The relative and absolute organ weight of ovaries decreased when treated with 125, 250 or 500 mg/kg body weight/day. In similarity, the relative and absolute organ weight of uterus decreased in the 125 or 500 mg/kg body weight/day groups.No significant changes in were detected in hematology,clinical biochemistry,mortality ororgan weight, and no effects were observed in water consumption,opthalmoscopic examination or locomotor activity. In male rats, the relative organ weights of the testes and epididymides increased when rats were treated with 500 mg/kg body weight/day. Histopathology performed on reproductive organs after treatment with 500 mg/kg body weight/day did not reveal any toxic lesions as compared to control. Hence, NOAEL was considered to be 250 mg/kg body weight/day when Sprague Dawley rats were exposed daily to test material by oral route for 28 days.

Study 3

One generation reproductive toxicity study of test material was performed according to OECD Guideline 415. The test material mixed with diet in dose concentration 0, 100, 500 and 2500 ppm and adminstered to groups of 25 rats per sex per group. Males were treated for 10 weeks and during the mated period and females for at least two weeks before mating until sacrifice. Body weights were recorded weekly during gestation period and at days 1, 4, 7, 14 and 21 during lactation period. Food consumption was measured weekly during experimental period. Food intake was recorded on presumed gestation days 7, 14 and 20 and on lactation days 4, 7, 14, 18 and 21. At birth, the number of pups born, sex and body weight of individual pups on days 1 and 4 were recorded. After standardization of litter size to 8 pups, pups were weighed individually on days 7, 14 and 21 of lactation. On day of weaning sacrifice (day 21), only one randomly selected pup per sex per litter was submitted to macroscopic examination. Fertility index for dams, sires and pup survival index were calculated. On completion of the gross pathology examination, the following tissues and organs were preserved in 10% neutral buffered formalin and submitted to microscopic examination: grossly abnormal tissues, ovaries, uterus, vagina, testes, epididymides, seminal vesicles, prostate, coagulating glands, pituitary gland and target organs of all P animals. The number of corpora lutea and implantation sites were recorded for all the dams. Histopathological examination of the parents was initially restricted to preserved organs from control and high dose group animals.

There were significant lower body weights from control at high dose in males from weeks 2 to 6 and at week 8 associated with a significant lower food intake at weeks 2 and 8 at high dose in males. There was also a significant decrease in bodyweights at day 20 of the gestation period in females of the high dose group, also observed at days 4, 7 and 14 of lactation period. A statistically significant increase in relative kidney weights at mid dose in males and at high dose for males and females was observed. The increased kidney weights observed in males and females were minimal in nature (<12%) and were not associated with microscopic changes, hence considered as toxicologically insignificant changes. A statistically significant increase in relative epididymides was also recorded at high dose in males but with no related microscopic changes in left epididymides. Further, there were no corresponding change in the weight of right cauda epididymides and epididymal sperm count therefore the increased epididymal weights were considered as incidental changes.There were no test item related changes in sperm motility, cauda epididymal sperm counts and sperm morphology parameters. However, a statistically significant increase in percentage of abnormal sperms was observed in high dose males but this observed change was within the historical control data. Moreover, no fertility parameters were affected and there were no changes in the testes or epididymis grossly or histopathologically therefore, considered incidental and not related to the treatment. There were no test item related gross findings in males and females. Only single incidences of several gross findings observed in different groups were considered as incidental without any relation to test item administration. There were no test item related microscopic changes in males and females. All single or few incidences of microscopic findings observed in males and females were considered as incidental findings. The mean number and weight of male, female and total pups per litter at all the doses tested were unaffected by treatment. No treatment-related changes were observed in the data of pups up to lactation day 21 at all the doses tested. HenceNo Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) for maternal and developmental toxicity was considered to be2500 ppm which is equivalent to 153.8 mg/kg Bwt/day for males and 393.6 mg/kg Bwt/day for females,.When male and femalerats were treated with test material orally over one generation.

Based on the data available from different studies ,test material did not showedreproductive toxicityat dose concentration 393.6mg/kg body weight/day,when male and female rats were treated with test material orally,Thus, comparing this value with the criteria ofCLP regulationtest materialis not likely to classify as reproductive toxicant.

Effects on developmental toxicity

Description of key information

Developmental toxicity study

Based on the various studies available for the test chemical were reviewed to determine the developmental toxicity, NOAELfor test chemical was considered to be in range of 50-150mg/kg bw .When rats or rabbits were treated with test chemical orally. Thus, comparing this value with the criteria of CLP regulation test chemical is not likely to classify as reproductive and developmental toxicant.

Executive summary:

Data available from different studies for the target as well as the read across substances were reviewed to determine the developmental toxicity of test material.The studies are as mentioned below:

Study 1

The developmental toxicity study of test material was performed according to OECD guideline 414 on rabbits. Young adult nulliparous New-Zealand white strain female and male rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) were used in study. The test material dissolved in 0.5% Carboxymethyl cellulose in dose concentration 0, 3, 10 and 50 mg/kg/day and administered by daily gavage through gestation day 6 to 28to mated females (25/dose group).The preliminary range-finding study (0, 10, 60 and 300 mg/kg/day) was performed, Based on preliminary range-finding study findings, 0, 3, 10 and 50 mg/kg/day were selected for the main study. Animals were observed twice daily for morbidity and mortality. Individual clinical signs were recorded at least once a day during the treatment period and once daily during the pre- and post-treatment periods. Individual body weights were recorded on gestation days 0, 3, 5, 8, 11, 14, 17, 20, 23, 26, 29 and 30. Food consumption per cage of animals were measured over the following periods during gestation: days 0-3, 3- 5, 5-8, 8-11, 11-14, 14-17, 17-20, 20-26, 26-29 and 29-30. On Day 29 of gestation, all the rabbits were sacrificed using intravenous injection of sodium thiopentone. Any gross pathological changes in all the visceral organs of dams were recorded. Organs with macroscopic findings and kidneys were preserved for possible histological evaluation. The ovaries, uteri and uterine contents were removed and examined to determine: the number of corpora lutea, the number of implantations, early and late resorptions, the weight of intact gravid uterus, the number and distribution of live foetuses, the number and distribution of intra-uterine dead foetuses, the individual foetal weight and sex, foetal abnormalities.

There were no maternal death or necropsy findings at any dose levels. There was a significant reduction in the body weight gain during the treatment period in the high dose group (50 mg/kg). The food consumption was comparable to the vehicle control grou. The reduction in body weight during the treatment period was considered treatment related. One rabbit aborted in the high dose group, there were 2 non pregnant rabbits in control, 4 in low dose group, 3 in mid dose group and 4 in the high dose group. There was one complete resorption in mid dose group. At the end, at least 20 litters were observed in each of the dose groups. The maternal data parameters comprising of implantations, early and late resorptions, pre and post-implantation loss in all the treatment groups were comparable to the vehicle control group. The mean number of corpora lutea, implantation and live foetus were significantly lower in high dose group (50 mg/kg body weight/day) when compared with the control group. Observed decrease in corpora lutea at 50 mg/kg body weight/day is considered as biological variation because the treatment was initiated after the implantation (gestation day 6). Therefore, the decrease observed in the absolute uterine weight, implantation and live foetus reported at this dose level are also considering as biological variation as these observations are directly correlated with the decrease in the number of the corpora lutea. Hence No Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) for developmental toxicity was considered to be 50 mg/kg/day,When female rabbits were treated with test material orally.

The developmental toxicity study of test material was performed on Crl:CD BR VAF/Plus rats. Test material in dose concentration0, 150, 300, 600, or 1000 mg/kg/day was administered orally on gestation days 6-15. The mortality observed on1000 mg/kg/day dose group. Clinical signs like Tremors, uncoordinated movements, recumbent posture, languidness, cold body and decreased body weight gain observed. Fetal body weights were decreased at 600 and 1000 mg/kg/day. Skeletal variations were seen at the 300 mg/kg/day and at higher doses. The skeletal variations manifested as increased unossified sternebrae, seventh cervical ribs, and misaligned sternebrae. Hence No Observed Effect Level (NOELs )for maternal and developmental toxicity were considered to be 150mg/kg/day. When rats were treated with test material orally on gestation days 6-15.

Thus, Based on the data available forthe target as well as the read across substances ,No Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) was considered to be in range of 50-150mg/kg bw . Thus, comparing this value with the criteria of CLP regulation test material is not likely to classify as reproductive and developmental toxicant.

Developmental toxicity study

Data available from different studies for the target as well as the read across substances were reviewed to determine the developmental toxicity of test material.The studies are as mentioned below:

Study 1

The developmental toxicity study of test material was performed according to OECD guideline 414 on rabbits. Young adult nulliparous New-Zealand white strain female and male rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) were used in study. The test material dissolved in 0.5% Carboxymethyl cellulose in dose concentration 0, 3, 10 and 50 mg/kg/day and administered by daily gavage through gestation day 6 to 28to mated females (25/dose group).The preliminary range-finding study (0, 10, 60 and 300 mg/kg/day) was performed, Based on preliminary range-finding study findings, 0, 3, 10 and 50 mg/kg/day were selected for the main study. Animals were observed twice daily for morbidity and mortality. Individual clinical signs were recorded at least once a day during the treatment period and once daily during the pre- and post-treatment periods. Individual body weights were recorded on gestation days 0, 3, 5, 8, 11, 14, 17, 20, 23, 26, 29 and 30. Food consumption per cage of animals were measured over the following periods during gestation: days 0-3, 3- 5, 5-8, 8-11, 11-14, 14-17, 17-20, 20-26, 26-29 and 29-30. On Day 29 of gestation, all the rabbits were sacrificed using intravenous injection of sodium thiopentone. Any gross pathological changes in all the visceral organs of dams were recorded. Organs with macroscopic findings and kidneys were preserved for possible histological evaluation. The ovaries, uteri and uterine contents were removed and examined to determine: the number of corpora lutea, the number of implantations, early and late resorptions, the weight of intact gravid uterus, the number and distribution of live foetuses, the number and distribution of intra-uterine dead foetuses, the individual foetal weight and sex, foetal abnormalities.

There were no maternal death or necropsy findings at any dose levels. There was a significant reduction in the body weight gain during the treatment period in the high dose group (50 mg/kg). The food consumption was comparable to the vehicle control grou. The reduction in body weight during the treatment period was considered treatment related. One rabbit aborted in the high dose group, there were 2 non pregnant rabbits in control, 4 in low dose group, 3 in mid dose group and 4 in the high dose group. There was one complete resorption in mid dose group. At the end, at least 20 litters were observed in each of the dose groups. The maternal data parameters comprising of implantations, early and late resorptions, pre and post-implantation loss in all the treatment groups were comparable to the vehicle control group. The mean number of corpora lutea, implantation and live foetus were significantly lower in high dose group (50 mg/kg body weight/day) when compared with the control group. Observed decrease in corpora lutea at 50 mg/kg body weight/day is considered as biological variation because the treatment was initiated after the implantation (gestation day 6). Therefore, the decrease observed in the absolute uterine weight, implantation and live foetus reported at this dose level are also considering as biological variation as these observations are directly correlated with the decrease in the number of the corpora lutea. Hence No Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) for developmental toxicity was considered to be 50 mg/kg/day,When female rabbits were treated with test material orally.
