Statistics:
Parametric and count data were analyzed by One-Way analysis of Variance (ANOVA). If significance was detected, pair-wise group comparisons proceeded using the Tukey-Kramer test. Ranked data were analysed by Kruskall Wallis non-parametric ANOVA, followed by Dunn's test. Descriptive and quantatative data were analyzed by fisher's Exact test. Group by group comparison was undertaken using the Chi-Square test.

Absolute and relative organ weights and clinical pathology data were analyzed for homogeneity of variance using Levene's test, then Kruskal-Wallis non-parametric ANOVA, followed by Dunn's test.

CLINICAL SIGNS AND MORTALITY
No mortality or significant clinical abnormalities were observed during the main or recovery phases of this study.

BODY WEIGHT AND WEIGHT GAIN
In the males, a statistically significant decreased bodyweight gain was observed in the top dose group. A decrease in bodyweight gain (not statistically significant) was observed in the next highest dose group. However, these decreases were less than 10%, and therefore of questionable statistical significance.

In females, no statistically significant changes were observed.

FOOD CONSUMPTION AND COMPOUND INTAKE (if feeding study)
Statistically significant decreases in food consumption occurred in the second highest group males and the top dose group females.

FOOD EFFICIENCY
Not recorded.

WATER CONSUMPTION AND COMPOUND INTAKE (if drinking water study)
Not recorded.

OPHTHALMOSCOPIC EXAMINATION
No treatment related effects occurred.

HAEMATOLOGY
No biologically significant changes occurred.

CLINICAL CHEMISTRY
No biologically significant changes occurred.

URINALYSIS
No biologically significant changes occurred.

NEUROBEHAVIOUR
No biologically significant changes occurred.

ORGAN WEIGHTS
No biologically significant changes occurred.

GROSS PATHOLOGY
No adverse gross pathology occurred in treated animals.

HISTOPATHOLOGY: NON-NEOPLASTIC
Irritation of the non-glandular stomach occurred in the two highest dose group males and the three highest dose group females.This irritation appeared to be transient. Minimal oedema in the submucosa was observed in the second highest dose group males and minimal to mild oedema in the submucosa and minimal epithelial hyperplasia was observed in the highest dose group males. However, these effects were not observed after the reovery phase.

Minimal oedema in the submucosa, minimal haemorrhage, minimal epithelial hyperplasia, mild inflammation and a mild ulcer occurred in females in the second highest dose group. Minimal oedema in the submucosa and minimal to mild epithelial hyperplasia was observed in females in the top dose group.

HISTOPATHOLOGY: NEOPLASTIC (if applicable)
Not recorded.

HISTORICAL CONTROL DATA (if applicable)

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
A NOAEL of 1000 mg/kg bw/day was identified in this study.
Executive summary:

In a subacute toxicity study  was administered to 5 Sprague-Dawley rats/sex/dose via gavage at dose levels of 0, 50, 150, 500, or 1000 mg/kg bw/day).

 

No dose related effects occurred. The NOAEL is 1000 mg/kg bw/day.

 

This subchronic toxicity study in the rat is acceptable and satisfies the guideline requirement for a subchronic oral study (OPPTS 870.3100; OECD 408) in rats.
