Statistics:
Toxicology and pathology data were captured, as far as possible, using the departmental computerized systems (Provantis® Integrated preclinical software, version 9.4.0, Instem LSS Ltd., Stone, Staffordshire ST15 0SD, United Kingdom). Raw data not fully compatible with the computerized systems were maintained on paper according to appropriate SOPs.
The test item-treated groups 2 to 4 were compared with the control group 1.
The following statistical methods were used for the data captured with the Provantis system:

Results and discussion

Results of examinations

Clinical signs:
no effects observed
Mortality:
no mortality observed
Body weight and weight changes:
effects observed, non-treatment-related
Description (incidence and severity):
No test item-related influence was observed on the body weight and the body weight gain of the male and female animals repeatedly treated orally with 100, 300 or 1000 mg Oxooil LS13/kg b.w./day compared to the control animals throughout the course of the study.
No test item-related differences were noted for the body weight at autopsy between the test item-treated animals and the control animals
Food consumption and compound intake (if feeding study):
not examined
Food efficiency:
effects observed, non-treatment-related
Description (incidence and severity):
A slightly, but statistically significantly (at p ≤ 0.05 or p ≤ 0.01) increased food consumption was noted for group 3 (intermediate dose) and group 4 (high dose) in a few test weeks. However, the marginal changes are considered as coincidental and not test item-related.
The statistically significant differences to the control group's food consumption considered not to be test item-related .
Water consumption and compound intake (if drinking water study):
no effects observed
Ophthalmological findings:
no effects observed
Haematological findings:
effects observed, non-treatment-related
Description (incidence and severity):
No test item-related influence was observed on the haematological and coagulation parameters for the male and female animals treated orally with 100, 300 or 1000 mg Oxooil LS13/kg b.w./day compared to the control animals on test day 91.
Clinical biochemistry findings:
effects observed, non-treatment-related
Description (incidence and severity):
No test item-related influence was noted on the biochemical parameters of the male and female animals treated with 100, 300, or 1000 mg Oxooil LS13/kg b.w./day on test day 91.
Urinalysis findings:
effects observed, non-treatment-related
Description (incidence and severity):
No test item-related changes were noted for the specific gravity and the pH value of the urine and the urine volume. The analyte concentrations of nitrite, protein, glucose, ketones, urobilinogen, bilirubin and haemoglobin were not influenced in male and female animals. No test item-related changes were observed in the urine colour and the microscopically analysed urine sediments.
A few slight but statistically significant (at p ≤ 0.01 or p ≤ 0.05) changes were noted for the pH value of the urine of the male and/or female animals at various dose levels in comparison to the control. However, the slight decrease of up to 9% is considered as coincidental and not test item-related.
Behaviour (functional findings):
effects observed, non-treatment-related
Description (incidence and severity):
No test item-related influence was noted on any of the parameters examined during the functional observation tests, on the fore- and hind limb grip strength, or on the spontaneous motility for any of the male and female animals after repeated oral treatment with 100, 300 or 1000 mg Oxooil LS13/kg b.w./day in test week 13.
A statistically significant (at p ≤ 0.05) increase by 0.3°C was noted for the body temperature of the female animals treated with 300 mg Oxooil LS13/kg b.w./day compared to the control group in test week 13. However, the marginal change is considered as coincidental and not test item-related.
Immunological findings:
not examined
Organ weight findings including organ / body weight ratios:
effects observed, non-treatment-related
Description (incidence and severity):
No test item related changes were noted for the relative and absolute organ weights of the animals treated orally with 100 mg Oxooil LS13/kg b.w./day at terminal sacrifice on test day 91.
Starting at the intermediate dose of 300 mg Oxooil LS13/kg b.w./day, statistically significantly (at p ≤ 0.05 or p ≤ 0.01) increased kidney weights were noted for the male animals, and increased liver weights were noted for the male and female animals. The changes in organ weights are considered to be test item-related.
Gross pathological findings:
effects observed, non-treatment-related
Description (incidence and severity):
The macroscopic inspection at necropsy did not reveal any test item-related changes in the organs and tissues of the animals treated orally with 100, 300 or 1000 mg Oxooil LS13/kg b.w./day at terminal sacrifice on test day 91 or 92.
A few minor macroscopic findings were noted in form of an enlarged pituitary gland for two female low dose animals and one female high dose animal, or a haemorrhagic focus with a diameter of approx. 2 mm in the mucosa of the stomach for one female intermediate dose animal. However, these changes are not considered to be test item-related but to be normal spontaneous background changes due to their isolated occurrence and the lack of dose-relationship.
Neuropathological findings:
not examined
Histopathological findings: non-neoplastic:
effects observed, treatment-related
Description (incidence and severity):
Morphological lesions considered to be related to the test item Oxooil LS13 were noted in the kidneys of the male animals, and the stomach of the male and female animals at the high dose of 1000 mg Oxooil LS13/kg b.w./day. Individual male and/or female animals of the control group 1 and the low and intermediate dose groups 2 and 3, revealed a few findings in the kidneys and/or the stomach that were similar to those noted for the high dose animals, but with clearly lower incidences and severities, and never being statistically significant compared to the control.
The test item related changes in the kidneys of the male rats are classified as Alpha 2u-globulin nephropathy.
Further, 4 of 10 male high dose animals revealed a hepatocyte hypertrophy that did not achieve statistical significance but corresponds to the slight increase noted for the relative and absolute liver weights , and therefore is considered to be test item-related, too.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
In conclusion, the experimental no-observed-adverse-effect level (NOAEL) was 300 mg Oxooil LS13/kg b.w. by daily oral administration, in particular, as no test item-related changes were noted at histopathological examination.
