Examinations

Maternal examinations:
Body weight were examined.
Ovaries and uterine content:
Resorptions and Implants were examined.
Fetal examinations:
Viable fetuses, Number and position of each fetus, Number of litters and Body weight and Gross pathology, visceral and skeletal abnormalities were examined.
Statistics:
Using the methods from Olson and Back (1978) and Wilson and Warkany (1965), the number and position of each fetus was recorded, weighed and examined for abnormalities.
The Students T test was used to test for statistical significance
between mean values and the Fisher exact test was used to test for significant differences in frequency of resorption and skeletal and soft tissue abnormalities using the litter as the experimental unit.
Indices:
Number and position of each fetus, Number of litters with resorptions and weigh were observed.
Historical control data:
not specified

General toxicity (maternal animals)

Clinical signs:
not specified
Dermal irritation (if dermal study):
not specified
Mortality:
not specified
Body weight and weight changes:
effects observed, non-treatment-related
Description (incidence and severity):
When treated with 188, 376 and 752 mg/kg bw, increase in body weight gain were observed in the females mice as compared to control and 569 mg/kg bw teated mice.

The increased maternal weight in the 188 and 376 mg/kg is apparently due to increased fetal weight and the increased maternal weight gain in the 752 mg/kg group is due to slightly larger average litter size.

Fetal body weight changes:
no effects observed
Description (incidence and severity):
When treated with 188 and 376 mg/kg bw, increase in mean fetal weights were observed as compared to control and 569 and 752 mg/kg bw treated mice.

The increased fetal weight in the mouse is not easily explained particularly when no such increase occurred in the groups receiving 569 and 752 mg/kg.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
NOAEL was considered to be 752 mg/kg/day for P and F1 generation when ICR female mice treated with test chemical orally by gavage for 4 days (6, 7, 8 and 9 of gestation).
Executive summary:

In aTeratogenicity study, ICR female mice were treated with test chemical in the concentration of 0, 188, 376, 569 and 752 mg/kg/day orally by gavage in Soybean oil for 4 days (6, 7, 8 and 9 of gestation). Increase in body weight gain were observed in the females mice at 188, 376 and 752 mg/kg bw as compared to control and 569 mg/kg bw treated mice.The increased maternal weight in the188 and 376 mg/kg is apparently due to increased fetal weight and the increased maternal weight gain in the 752 mg/kg group is due to slightly larger average litter size. Similarly, No significant effect on mean implants/female, mean resorptions/litter and frequency of resorptions of treated female mice were observed as compared to control. In addition, No developmental effect such as viability of pups were observed as compared to control. Increase in mean fetal weights were observed in male and female pups at 188 and 376 mg/kg bw as compared to control and 569 and 752 mg/kg bw treated mice.The increased fetal weight in the mouse is not easily explained particularly when no such increase occurred in the groups receiving 569 and 752 mg/kg. No external abnormalities, Soft Tissue and or Skeletal findings were observed in any pup as compared to control. Therefore, NOAEL was considered to be 752 mg/kg/day for P and F1 generation when ICR female mice treated with test chemical orally by gavage for 4 days (6, 7, 8 and 9 of gestation).
