- All statistical analyses compared the treatment groups with the control group, with the level of significance at P<0.05 and p<0.01. All means were accompanied by standard deviations. Male to female fetal sex ratios and the proportions of litters with malformations were compared using the Chi-square test criterion with Yates' correction for 2 x 2 contingency tables and/or Fisher's exact probability test as described by siegel to judge significance of differences.
The proportions of resorbed and dead fetuses and postimplantation losses were compared by the Mann-Whitney U-test as described by Siegel and Weil to judge significance of differences.
Mean numbers of corpora lutea, total implantations, live fetuses, mean fetal body weights, and mean maternal body weights and body weight changes were compared by analysis of variance (one-way classification). Barelett's test for homogeneity of variances and the appropriate t-test (for equal or unequal variances) as described by Steel and Torrie using Dunnet t 's multiple comparison tables to judge significance of differences. - Historical control data:

- Maternal toxic effects:yes
Details on maternal toxic effects:
Survival was 100% among the control, 50, 250 and 500 mg/kg/day groups. The test article did not produce meaningful differences in maternal appearance and behavior at any dosage level. There was no test item related effect on pregnancy rate.
Clinical signs observed in some groups inclusive of the control, included the following : alopecia .and scabbing, sparse haircoat,
and malligned upper incisors with associated ocular discharge.
The following gross changes were noted during necropsy in the treated and control groups: hydronephrosis with or without distended ureters, misshapen kidney, distended uterus and cervix, and adherence of the liver to the kidney.
The test article had a marked inhibitory effect on maternal body weight gain at 250 and 500 mg/kg/day during the overall treatment interval.Moreover, marked reductions in gain were evident at 500 mg/kg/day during the overall gestation interval. Weight loss was observed during the gestation day 6 to 9 subinterval for both groups. All of these decreases were statistically significant. No similar effect was observed at 50 mg/kg/day.
An increase in postimplantation loss was noted for the 250 and 500 mg/kg/day groups, relative to the control. The increase was statistically significant at 500 mg/kg/day. The test article had no effect on the i.e., corpora lutea, total implantations, viable litter size, and sex Distribution, at 500 mg/kg/day and less.

Details on embryotoxic / teratogenic effects:
A treatment-related trend of fetal body weight inhibition was observed at all dosage levels. Fetal body weights were statistically significantly less than the control at 250 and 500 mg/kg/day. Weight inhibition, although very slight and not statistically significant, was also observed at 50 mg/kg/day and was deemed compound related as it was considered part of the trend observed at higher dosage levels.
The incidence of fetal malformations occurring in the treated groups was not meaningfully different from the control. A single instance each of a tail anomaly with anal atresia, and a vertebral anomaly occurred in a 250 mg/kg/day litter. Also, one 500 mg/kg/day fetus exhibited a retroesophageal aortic arch. No malformations occurred in the control and 50 mg/kg/day animals.
With respect to developmental variations, the number of litters exhibiting unossification of sternebrae #5 and/or #6 was increased exclusively at 500 mg/kg/day relative to the control. The remaining variations were noted in the control and treated groups at similar incidence or occurred as an isolated incidence and were deemed biologically irrelevant.

- Executive summary:
A study was performed under GLP and according to a method similar to currently internationally accepted guidelines. Performed in accordance with Series 83-3 of the Environmental Protection Agency Pesticide Assessment Guidelines, Subdivision F, Hazard Evaluation: Human and Domestic Animals, issued November, 1982. Mated Charles River COBS CD rats consecutively assigned to one control and three treatment groups of 25 animals each were used to determine the teratogenic potential of Santicizer 9. Dosage levels of 50, 250 and 500 mg/kg/day were administered orally by gavage as a single daily dose on days 6 through 15 of gestation at a constant volume of 10 ml/kg. The control group received the vehicle only, corn oil, on a comparable regimen. Cesarean sections were performed on all surviving females on gestation day 20 and the fetuses were removed for teratologic evaluation.
Survival was 100% among all groups on study. Santicizer 9 produced meaningful changes in maternal body weight gain and several Cesarean section parameters when administered at 250 and 500 mg/kg/day. Maternal weight loss was evident during a portion of the treatment interval at 250 and 500 mg/kg/day and both groups exhibited significant (p<0.01) reductions in weight gain during the overall treatment period. Statistically significant reductions were also noted at 500 mg/kg/day during the overall gestation period. Fetotoxicity was apparent at 250 and 500 mg/kg/day as evidenced by increased postimplantation loss which was statistically significant at 500 mg/kg/day. In addition, a treatment-related trend of fetal body weight inhibition was noted at all dosage levels and values were significantly different from the control, p<0.01 at 250 and 500 mg/kg/day. An increase in the number of litters exhibiting unossification of sternebrae #5 and/or #6 was noted exclusively at 500 mg/kg/day and was correlated with fetal body weight reduction. Maternal appearance and behavior and the incidence of fetal malformations were not affected at any dosage level. Based on these results, Santicizer 9 did not produce a teratogenic effect when administered orally to mated Charles River COBS CD rats at 500 mg/kg/day and less.
