- Details on study design:
- - Dose selection rationale:
Based on available data and information from previous experimental work, including the results of a preliminary dose range finding study in the rat (Endpoint study report 7.5.1 Dose Range Finding Study 7 days rat_WS400102) , the dose levels selected for this study were 100, 300 and 1000 mg/kg bw/day.
This study was conducted to examine both repeated dose toxicity and reproductive/developmental toxicity as an OECD screening combined study (OECD 422 test guideline). Therefore, animals initially entering the study were divided into toxicity subgroup animals (Satellite females) and reproductive subgroup animals (Main females and males), whereby 5 of the 12 Main males (used for pairing) per dose group formed the toxicity male Subgroup A.
Examinations
- Maternal examinations:
- CAGE SIDE OBSERVATIONS
- Time schedule: twice daily
All animals were monitored for pertinent behavioural changes, signs of difficult or prolonged parturition and all signs of toxicity including mortality.
Delivery process was observed as carefully as possible. Dams were observed to record whether they form a nest from the bedding material and cover their new-borns or not.
DETAILED CLINICAL OBSERVATIONS: Yes
- Time schedule: at least weekly (observations in a standard arena)
BODY WEIGHT: Yes
- Time schedule: Maternal animals were weighed on gestation Days GD 0, 7, 14 and 20 and on postpartal Days PPD0 (within 24 hours after parturition), and PPD5 (before termination).
POST-MORTEM EXAMINATIONS: Yes
- Sacrifice on Day 5 of lactation (PND5)
- Organs examined: uterus, vagina, ovaries
HISTOPATHOLOGY :
Detailed histological examinations was performed in all maternal animals of control and high dose groups of the ovaries covered the follicular, luteal, and interstitial compartments of the ovary, as well as the epithelial capsule and ovarian stroma. - Ovaries and uterine content:
- The ovaries and uterine content was examined after termination: Yes
Examinations included:
- Gravid uterus weight: Yes (with and wtihout cervix)
- Number of corpora lutea: Yes
- Number of implantations: Yes
Post implantation survival was determined.
In addition, gestation length (time elapsing between detection of mating and commencement of parturition) was recorded. - Fetal examinations:
- - External examinations: from PPD0 to PPD4, all pubs per litter
parameters observed: number and sex of pups, stillbirths, live births; postnatal mortality; presence of gross anomalies, weight gain (PPD0-PPD4), physical or behavioural abnormalities - Statistics:
- The statistical evaluation of appropriate data (marked † below) was performed with the statistical program package SPSS PC+4.0. The homogeneity of variance between groups was checked by Bartlett’s homogeneity of variance test. Where no significant heterogeneity was detected, a one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was carried out. If the obtained result was significant, Duncan Multiple Range test was used to access the significance of inter-group differences. Getting significant result at Bartlett’s test, the Kruskal-Wallis analysis of variance was used and the inter-group comparisons were performed using Mann-Whitney U-test. Chi2 test was performed as feasible.

- Details on maternal toxic effects:
- Maternal toxic effects:yes. Remark: In High dose group: changes in haematology, in some parameters of clinical chemistry, slightly increased liver weight, histological minimal changes in kidneys
Details on maternal toxic effects:
In the High dose group (1000 mg): Changes in haematology (decrease of 8-12% in erythrocyte count, hemoglobin concentration and hematocrit value) and clinical chemistry parameters (increase in albumin concentration and albumin to globulin ration, higher calcium, sodium and chloride concentrations). Animals had slightly increased liver weights (16-19%) changes. Females had histological minimal changes in kidneys in the form of bilateral vacuolation and presence of cytoplasmic eosinophilic granules in the cortical tubules (2/5 females).
Slightly increased pre-implantation, total intrauterine and postnatal mortality values and slightly lower number of born pups as well as slightly lower body weight gain of pups were observed. These small differences were considered to be probably secondary to maternal toxicity.

Details on embryotoxic / teratogenic effects:
No external abnormalities ascribed to treatment were detected at the clinical or external macroscopic examinations of the pups. At 300 mg/kg in one male pup aplasia of the tail was detected without any internal abnormality. The incidence of this finding was low, within the physiological range expected in the population of Wistar rats and considered without toxicological significance, or to reflect a test item or adverse effect.
The survival indices of pups on PND0 and PND4 were comparable to control values at up to and including 1000 mg/kg bw/day. The incidence of mortality was negligible and was 1 of 160 in control, 1 of 156 in Low dose, 6 of 155 in Mid dose and 3 of 89 in High dose. Three of 6 dead pups in the Mid dose and 3 of 3 dead pups in the High dose originated from one litter. All of these pups were lost on Day PND1, except one pup of Mid dose (PND4) and control (PND2). These pups were probably cannibalized.The sex ratios were similar in the Control and treated groups.
There was no adverse effect of treatment on the offspring body weight or body weight gain. Slightly higher mean body weights values in the Low dose group and slightly lower mean overall body weight gain values (PND0-4) in the High dose group were regarded as individual, biological variability, without
toxicological significance.
