Administrative data

Endpoint:
developmental toxicity
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: The test substance purity was unknown. The study was only described in an abstract without details. The protocol was similar to the standard method of the guidelines even if only two doses were used.

Results and discussion

Results: maternal animals

Maternal developmental toxicity

Details on maternal toxic effects:
Maternal toxic effects:no effects

Details on maternal toxic effects:
No maternal, embryotoxic or teratologic effects were expressed at either dose level.
However, the highest dose was selected to produce maternal toxicity expressed as reduced body weight gain in a range-finding study

Effect levels (maternal animals)

Dose descriptor:
NOAEL
Effect level:
> 300 mg/kg bw/day
Basis for effect level:
other: maternal toxicity

Results (fetuses)

Details on embryotoxic / teratogenic effects:
Embryotoxic / teratogenic effects:no effects

Details on embryotoxic / teratogenic effects:
The only potential compound-related effect in the study was a slightly decreased mean fetal body weight at the 300 mg/kg bw dose although this value was within the range of the WIL historical data.
An increase in the number of litters with fetal variant malaligned sternebrae occurred at the 50 mg/kg bw dose, but the incidence at the highest dose was comparable to the control group: the 50 mg/kg bw/day dose level was considered as "no-effect" level.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
One developmental study was conducted with cyclopentanone administrated in rats by gavage from days 6 through 15 of gestation at 50 or 300 mg/kg bw. No developmental effects were observed.
