- PREPARATION OF DOSING SOLUTIONS:
For the purpose of this study the test material was prepared at the appropriate concentrations as a solution in Arachis oil BP. The stability and homogeneity of the test material formulations were previously determined by Harlan Laboratories Ltd., Shardlow, UK Analytical Services (Harlan Laboratories Ltd. Project Number: 0142-0416). Results from the previous study showed the formulations to be stable for at least twenty days. Formulations were therefore prepared twice monthly during the treatment period and stored at approximately +4ºC in the dark, under nitrogen.
Samples of each test material formulation were taken and analysed for concentration of test material at Harlan Laboratories Ltd., Shardlow, UK Analytical Services. The method used for analysis of formulations and the results obtained are given in Appendix 26. The results indicate that the prepared formulations were within plus or minus 9% of the nominal concentration.

during the final week of treatment and five Day 4 post partum females from each dose level.
BODY WEIGHT:
- Yes
- Time schedule for examinations:
- Individual bodyweights were recorded on Day 1 (prior to dosing) and then weekly for males until termination and weekly for females until mating w as evident. Bodyweights were then recorded for females on Days 0, 7, 14 and 20 post coitum, and on Days 1 and 4 post partum. Bodyweights were
also recorded prior to termination
FOOD CONSUMPTION:
- Yes
- During the maturation period, weekly food consumption was recorded for each cage of adults. This was continued for males after the mating
phase. For females showing evidence of mating, food consumption was recorded for the periods covering Days 0-7, 7-14 and 14-20. For females with live litters, food consumption was recorded on Days 1 and 4 post partum. Weekly food consumptions were performed weekly for each cage of adults throughout the study period.
- FOOD EFFICIENCY:
- Yes
- Food efficiency (the ratio of bodyweight change/dietary intake) was calculated retrospectively for males throughout the study period, and for females prior to mating.
WATER CONSUMPTION:
- Yes

Not applicable
HAEMATOLOGY AND CLINICAL CHEMISTRY:
- Yes
- Time schedule for collection of blood:
- Haematological and blood chemical investigations were performed on five males and five females selected from each non-recovery test and control group prior to termination (Day 42 for males and Day 4 post partum for females). These investigations were also performed on all recovery
(satellite) males at the end of the treatment-free period (Day 56).
- Blood samples were obtained from the lateral tail vein or by cardiac puncture at termination, if applicable.
- Anaesthetic used for blood collection:
- No
- Animals fasted:
- No
OTHER:
MATING
- Animals were paired on a 1 male: 1 female basis within each dose group, for a period of up to fourteen days. Cage tray-liners were checked each
morning for the presence of ejected copulation plugs and each female was examined for the presence of a copulation plug in the vagina. A vaginal
smear was prepared for each female and the stage of the oestrous cycle or the presence of sperm was recorded. The presence of sperm within the vaginal smear and/or vaginal plug in situ was taken as positive evidence of mating (Day 0 of gestation) and the males were subsequently returned to
their original holding cages (unless required for additional pairing). Mated females were housed individually during the period of gestation and
lactation.
PREGNANCY AND PARTURITION
- Each pregnant female was observed at approximately 0830, 1230 and 1630 hours and around the period of expected parturition. Observations
were carried out at approximately 0830 and 1230 hours at weekends and public holidays. The following was recorded for each female:
i) Date of mating
ii) Date and time of observed start of parturition
iii) Date and time of observed completion of parturition
iv) Duration of gestation
LITTER SIZE
On completion of parturition (Day 0 of post partum), the number of live and dead offspring was recorded. Offspring were individually identified within each litter by tattoo on Day 1.
For each litter the following was recorded:
i) Number of offspring born
ii) Number and sex of offspring alive recorded daily and reported on Day 1 and 4
post partum
iii) Clinical condition of offspring from birth to Day 5 post partum
iv) Individual offspring weights on Day 1 and 4 post partum (litter weights were calculated retrospecively from offsring weights).

Clinical Observations.
A higher incidence of increased salivation was detected soon after dosing and up to one hour after dosing for animals of either sex treated with 125 and 30 mg/kg/day, and also for males treated with 10 mg/kg/day when compared to controls. Regression was evident following the cessation of treatment in recovery 125 mg/kg/day males.
Functional Observations.
No treatment-related effects were evident in the weekly behavioural assessments, sensory reactivity, grip strength or motor activity.
Bodyweight.
No adverse effect on bodyweight change was detected for males or for females during the pre-mating and gestation phases. Lower bodyweight gains were evident for females treated with 125 mg/kg/day when compared to controls during the lactation phase of the study. No adverse effects were evident at 30 or 10 mg/kg/day.
Food Consumption.
No adverse effects on dietary intake were evident for males or for females during the pre-mating or gestation phases of the study. A slight reduction in dietary intake was evident for females treated with 125 mg/kg/day when compared to controls during lactation.
Water Consumption.
No overt intergroup differences in water intake were detected for males or for females during the pre-mating or gestation phases of the study. A reduction in water intake was evident for females treated with 125 mg/kg/day when compared to controls during lactation.
Reproductive performance.
Mating.
No treatment-related effects were detected in mating performance.
Fertility.
No treatment-related effects were detected in fertility.
Gestation.
No treatment-related effects were detected on gestation length.
Litter responses.
Litter size and Viability.
Lower litter sizes, live birth indices and reduced numbers of viable litters were evident at 125 mg/kg/day when compared to controls. Slightly lower numbers in corpora lutea and implantation sites were evident for females treated with 125 mg/kg/day when compared to controls, and higher post-implantation losses were also evident.
Offspring Growth and Development.
Lower total litter weights were evident at 125 mg/kg/day in comparison to control values. Bodyweights and surface righting assessments were not
affected.
Laboratory Investigations.
Haematology.
Males treated with 125 mg/kg/day showed a reduction in haemoglobin, haematocrit, mean cell haemoglobin, mean cell volume and reticulocyte counts when compared to controls. These findings were considered to be of no toxicological significance.
No treatment-related effects were evident for females treated with 125 mg/kg/day, or for animals of either sex treated with 30 and 10 mg/kg/day.
Blood Chemistry.
No significant effects were detected in the blood chemical parameters investigated.
Pathology.
Organ Weights.
Males treated with 125 mg/kg/day showed slightly higher absolute and bodyweight-relative spleen and liver weights. These findings were considered to be of no toxicological importance.
No treatment-related effects were detected for females treated at 125 mg/kg/day, or for animals of either sex treated with 30 or 10 mg/kg/day.
Necropsy.
Offspring: No treatment-related macroscopic abnormalities were detected for offspring from treated animals when compared to control litters.
Adults: Treatment-related findings were confined to the presence of a thickened non-glandular region of the stomach for one male treated with
125 mg/kg/day.
Histopathology. The following treatment-related changes were observed:
STOMACH: Acanthosis, frequently with associated hyperkeratosis, was seen in the forestomach of all animals of either sex treated with 125 mg/kg/day, and in males treated with 30 mg/kg/day. There was evidence of regression of the condition in recovery 125 mg/kg/day males following an additional fourteen days without treatment.

The
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- The read-across supporting substance N,N-Bis(2-hydroxyethyl)-C12-18(even numbered)alkyl-amine was investigated for its oral repeated dose toxicity according to the OECD Guideline 422. Stomach, hematopoietic system, and liver were identified as target organs at 125 mg/kg bw. The NOAEL of 30 mg/kg bw was derived for systemic toxicity and for reproductive toxicity.
- Executive summary:
The repeated dose toxicity of the registration substance is derived by use of data on the read-across supporting substance N,N-Bis(2-hydroxyethyl)-C12-18(even numbered)alkyl-amine.
N,N-Bis(2-hydroxyethyl)-C12-18(even numbered)alkyl-amine was investigated for its oral repeated dose toxicity according to the OECD Guideline 422. The rats were treated at doses of 0, 10, 30 and 125 mg/kg bw for up to forty five days. The irritant effect such as salivation and histopathologcal alteration in the gastric tract was evident at 125 mg/kg bw. Further, a possible effect on the hematopoietic system could be derived based on the minimal changes in hematology parameters and the slightly increased spleen weights in males. Also the liver weight was minimally increased for males that was considered as adaptive responce. Based on the histopathological changes observed in the stomach the NOAEL of 30 mg/kg bw was derived for the systemic toxicity.
At dose of 125 mg/kg bw lower litter size was evident. The NOAEL of 30 mg/kg bw was derived for the reproductive toxicity.
Similar toxicity pattern is expected for the registration substance. Gastric tract, hematopoietic system and liver are likely to serve as target organs at doses of 125 mg/kg bw and higher. Taking account that the chemical structure and the molecular size of the registration substance is closely similar to those of the read-across supporting substance, the NOAEL of 30 mg/kg bw is considered to be also valid for the registration substance.
