- Details on study design:
- Groups of 16 male and 16 female Crl:CD® rats were fed for approximately 90 days with diets that contained 0, 100, 2500, or 7500 ppm of the test substance. Clinical indices were measured in urine and blood at approximately one, two, and three months after study initiation. At the end of the 90-day period, ten rats per sex from each diet group were sacrificed, necropsied, and select tissues examined histologically. The remaining six rats per sex per diet group were mated for the purpose of a one-generation, one-litter reproduction sub-study.

- No
Examinations
- Observations and examinations performed and frequency:
- During the 90-day feeding phase of the study all rats were weighed once weekly and were observed at least twice daily for abnormal behavior or appearance and moribundity. The amount of food consumed by each group was determined weekly during the 90-day feeding phase of the study. Food consumption and body weight data were used to calculate, mean daily food consumption, food efficiency (utilization of food for body growth), and mean daily intake of the test substance.
At approximately one, two, and three months after the study's initiation, hematological, clinical chemical, and urine analytical evaluations were conducted on the ten rats in each treatment group designated for evaluation of subchronic toxicity. Rats were individually housed in metabolism cages to facilitate the collection of urine. Following a 24-hour acclimation period, the rats were deprived of food overnight (approximately 16 hr.) during which time urine was collected. Blood samples were subsequently collected via tail cut from the fasted rats.
The hematological parameters examined at each interval consisted of erythrocyte, leukocyte, differential leukocytes, and platelet counts, hemoglobin contents, and mean corpuscular volumes (MCV). Hematocrits, mean corpuscular hemoglobin contents (MCH), and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentrations (MCHC) were calculated. Blood smears for reticulocytes were prepared and counted. Clinical chemical evaluation of serum consisted of measures of alkaline phosphatase (AP), alanine-amino transferase (ALT), and aspartate-amino transferase (AST) activities, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), total serum protein, albumin, globulin (calculated), creatinine, cholesterol, glucose, calcium, sodium, and potassium. Urine analysis consisted of quantitative measures of urine volume, pH, and osmolality and semi-quantitative measures of glucose, protein, bilirubin, urobilinogen, ketones, and occult blood. Urine color and appearance were recorded and sediment from the urine samples was examined microscopically. - Sacrifice and pathology:
- On days 95 and 96 of the study, the surviving male and female rats, respectively, from each treatment group designated to be evaluated for subchronic toxicity were sacrificed and necropsied. The order of sacrifice was random among all rats within a sex. All rats that died or were sacrificed before the end of the study were also necropsied. Brain, heart, liver, spleen, kidneys, lungs, thymus, adrenals, pituitary and testes of all necropsied rats except those found dead were weighed and, for rats in the terminal sacrifice, organ weight/final body weight ratios were calculated. The following tissues taken from rats designated to be evaluated for subchronic toxicity that died (tissue integrity permitting) or were sacrificed prior to the end of the 90-day feeding study, and from rats in the high-dose and control groups, were examined microscopically: thymus, spleen, femoral bone marrow, lymph nodes, heart, aorta-thoracic, trachea, lungs, salivary glands, esophagus, stomach, small intestine (duodentnn, jejuntnn and
ileum), large intestine (colon and cecum), liver, pancreas, kidneys, bladder, pituitary, thyroid - parathyroid, adrenals, testes, epididymides, prostate, ovaries, corpus and cervix uteri, vagina, brain, eye, muscle (thigh), bone (femur), and all gross lesions. All gross lesions, heart, liver, kidney, and target organs from rats in the low- and intermediate-dose groups were also examined histopathologically. The other tissues listed above from rats in the low- and intermediate-dose groups were collected, processed to the block stage of preparation, but were not evaluated histologically. - Statistics:
- Body weights and organ weights were subjected to analyses of variance. The least significant difference [LSD] from control values and Dunnett's statistics were calculated whenever the ratio of variances (F-ratio) indicated significant differences existed among the test groups.
Significance was judged at the p <0.05 probability level.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- The no-observable-effect level (NOEL) for the administration of the test substance for the 90-day feeding study was 100 ppm for both male and female rats.
- Executive summary:
Groups of 16 male and 16 female Crl:CD® rats were fed for approximately 90 days with diets that contained 0, 100, 2500, or 7500 ppm of the test substance. Clinical indices were measured in urine and blood at approximately one, two, and three months after study initiation. At the end of the 90-day period, ten rats per sex from each diet group were sacrificed, necropsied, and select tissues examined histologically. The remaining six rats per sex per diet group were mated for the purpose of a one-generation, one-litter reproduction sub-study (equivalent to OECD 408).
The administration of the test substance in the feed for a 90-day period resulted in significantly decreased body weights in the male 7500 ppm group and the female 2500 and 7500 ppm groups. Since there were no meaningful differences in food consumption among these groups compared to their respective control group, the decreased body weights were interpreted to represent a compound-related toxic effect or possibly an indirect effect of the test substance on nutrient absorption.
Rats in this study did not demonstrate any adverse clinical signs with the exception of alopecia which was observed in two males and two females in the 7500 ppm groups. Since alopecia is a relatively common clinical observation among CD® rats, it is not clear that the low incidence of alopecia observed in this study was related to the administration of the test substance.
Numerous, statistically-significant changes in hematological and clinical chemical parameters were reported for both male and female rats at each of the evaluation periods during the study. Decreased erythrocyte counts and hematocrits and decreased or increased MCH and MCHC are believed to have resulted from non-compound-related in vitro hemolysis. Decreased serum AST activity which occurred in the male 2500 and 7500 ppm groups after two and three months on test appeared to be compound-related but is not believed to be biologically significant. Other hematological and clinical chemical parameters which were affected were within the expected range of biological variation and are not believed to be compound-related.
Numerous, statistically-significant differences in absolute and relative organ weights were observed between rats in the control and treatment groups. However, none of the organs affected demonstrated any compound-related histopathological effects. Although the biological significance of these changes in organ weights remains unclear, these changes may simply reflect the decreased body weights observed throughout the study. The liver was the only organ affected histologically. Margination of hepatocyte cytoplasmic contents in the centrilobular areas occurred in the male 2500 and 7500 ppm groups and the female 7500 ppm group. These changes were interpreted to represent a non-degenerative, adaptive response by the liver.
The no-observable-effect level (NOEL) for the administration of the test substance for the 90-day feeding study was 100 ppm for both male and female rats.
