Description of key information

Reproductive Toxicity Study:

In the three generations of male and female C57BL/6 mice, continuously, a diet containing10 % test chemical (equivalent to 0 or 5 g/kg bw/day; higher doses expected in pregnant females and in the post-weaning period of 10 g/kg bw/day). Four matings were performed in the F0 and F1 generations and three matings in the F2 generation. Pup weight at weaning was significantly reduced after exposure to both polysorbates. The number of live pups born, the viability index and the lactation index decreased. No effects on body weight gain of pregnant mice were observed, and no effects on organ weights of gonads or sperm motility were recorded. From the observations, The NOAEL for the test chemical in male and female C57BL/6 was observed to be 5000mg/kg in F0 genearation and LOAEL for F1 generation observed to be 5000mg/kg

Reproductive Toxicity Study 2:

In the present study, the two years experimental study carried out. The Wistar rats (F0 generation) fed to different test chemical level 5, 10 and 20% i.e (2500000, 5000000 and 10000000mg/kg), the next generation from different dose levels divided to groups of 12 males and 20 females and fed with same dose levels. The F0 generation and descending 2 generations observed for change in body weight, the efficiency of food utilization (EFU) as well as the efficiency of caloric utilization (ECU), hematology , urinalysis, Reproductive performance, lactation response gross and histopathology examination.The results of the study revealed, no treatment related weight gain in treated animals, the efficiency of food utilization (EFU) as well as the efficiency of caloric utilization (ECU) were somewhat higher in the initial (F0) generation than in the succeeding generations (F1 and F2 ). No chnage innhematological parameters, urinalysis, reproductive performance and lactation respose in initial and succeeding generations (F1 and F2). On the basis of the observed results the NOAEL for the test chemical observed to be 10000000mg/kg.

Effects on developmental toxicity

Description of key information

Developmental Toxicity Study:

The present study aimed, to examine the teratogenic potential of test chemical given to pregnant rats during the organogenetic period. The mating was done by using Virgin female rats of about 12 weeks of age were mated for 15 hours with male rats of same strain. The day when the spermatozoa in the vagina was detected was considered to be day 0 of pregnancy. In this study the pregnant Wistar rats were given test chemical at a dose of 0, 0.1 (99 mg/kg), 1.0 (960 mg/kg) or 10% (7693 mg/kg) in the diet from day 7 to day 14 of pregnancy. The treated female rats observed for evidence of clinical signs of toxicity and weighed daily. On day 20 of pregnancy, the pregnant rats in each group were killed by cervical dislocation. The peritoneal cavity and uterus were opened, and the numbers and positions of live and dead fetuses and resorptions were recorded. The live fetuses removed from the uterus by cesarean section were sexed, weighed and inspected for external anomalies and anomalies within the oral cavity. About half of the fetuses in each litter were fixed in alcohol, cleared in KOH solution, stained with Alizarin Red S14 and examined for skeletal anomalies. The remaining half of the fetuses in each litter were fixed in Bouin's solution, sectioned with razor blade and examined for internal anomalies.The results of the study revealed, No significant difference in the maternal body weight gain during the treatment period between the treated and control groups. The maternal developmental toxicity results revealed, the incidences of intrauterine death in the 1.0 % (960mg/kg) group were significantly higher than that of the control group however no such effects were seen in treated group at 96 and 7693mg/kg. In the 99mg/kg group, the number of implantations per litter was significantly higher than that of the control group. The incidences of resorptions in the 1.0 % (960mg/kg) group were significantly higher than that of the control group. No significant effect on number of resorptions were observed in treated and control animals. No significant effect were observed in live and dead fetuses per litter in  treated and control animals. No change in the sex ratio of live fetuses and the fetal body weight of both sexes. No other maternal toxicty effects were observed. When the fetuses toxicity examined no change in the sex ratio of live fetuses and the fetal body weight of both sexes weight were observed. Neither external, skeletal and vesceral anomalies were observed in any treated groups at 99, 960 and 7693mg/kg. Thus, based on the observations and results of the study, the NOAEL for the test chemical was considered to be 7693mg/kg in Wistar rats.

Thus, based on the observations and results of the study, the NOAEL for the test chemical was considered to be 7693mg/kg in Wistar rats.

Developmental Toxicity Study 2:

The present study aimed to evaluate the developmental toxicity of the test chemical in pregnant CD-1 mouse. All experiment were conducted in two phases: an initial dose-finding study, followed by a reproductive phase which employed a single dose level for test chemical. For dose-finding,  test chemical was tested at five dose levels using ten virgin female mice per group. Treatment were administered once daily for 8 consecutive days, with a dosing volume determined on the basis of body weights on the first treatment day. Mice were observed twice daily during treatment, and once daily for 8 days following treatments. Body weights were recorded on the first and last (eighth) day of treatment, and on days 4 and 8 post-treatment. For the reproductive phase, the LD10 predicted on the basis of dose-finding results was the single dose used. Treatment in the reproductive phase were administered once daily on gd 6-13, with a dosing volume determined on the basis of pretreatment body weights on gd 6. The Mice were observed twice daily during treatment, and once daily on gd 14-17. Body weights were again recorded on gd 17. At the daily observation, signs of toxicity were recorded. Beginning on gd 18, mice were observed twice daily for signs of parturition. When delivery was judged to be complete (postnatal day l), the number of live pups was recorded, and live pups were weighed together as a litter, Neither live nor dead pups were systematically examined for malformations. Two days later (postnatal day 3), live pups were again counted and weighed as a litter, and maternal body weights were recorded. Dams and litters were then discarded. Females that failed to deliver a litter by the presumed gd 22 were killed and uteri were examined. If there was no gross evidence of a failed pregnancy, uteri were placed in 10% ammonium or sodium sulfide to reveal implantation sites as evidence of early termination of pregnancy. The results of the study revealed, No signs of maternal toxicity and no effects on maternal survival. No effects on maternal weight  were observed. No effects on pup survival were recorded. No change on pup survival and birth weight but decreased postnatal pup weight gain were seen and no external, skeletal and visceral abnormalities were recorded at 52000mg/kg dose of test chemical. From the observations and results the NOAEL for the test chemical considered to be 52000mg/kg bw/day in CD-1 mice.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on all the observations and results of the data available, the test chemical may not be classified as reproductive and developmental toxicant according to CLP regulation.
