Results and discussion

Results of examinations

Clinical signs:
effects observed, treatment-related
Description (incidence and severity):
Decreased faeces were observed in all rats that received 750 mg/kg/day and sialorrhea was observed in all treatment groups.
Mortality:
mortality observed, treatment-related
Description (incidence):
In animals that received 750 mg/kg/day 1 male was found dead on Day 3 and 1 male was sacrificed as moribund on Day 11.
Body weight and weight changes:
effects observed, treatment-related
Description (incidence and severity):
In males that received 750 mg/kg/day, mean bodyweights were significantly lower than in controls.
Food consumption and compound intake (if feeding study):
not examined
Food efficiency:
effects observed, treatment-related
Description (incidence and severity):
Food consumption for males that received 750 mg/kg/day was reduced on Days 4 and 7.
Water consumption and compound intake (if drinking water study):
not specified
Ophthalmological findings:
not specified
Haematological findings:
no effects observed
Clinical biochemistry findings:
effects observed, treatment-related
Description (incidence and severity):
Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and ALAT concentrations were increase in males that received 750 mg/kg/day. A slight, statistically significant increase in ALAT was also observed in males that received 225 mg/kg/day. The slight increases in ALAT and ALP could be related to the changes observed in the pancreas of animals that received 750 mg/kg/day.
Urinalysis findings:
not specified
Behaviour (functional findings):
not specified
Immunological findings:
not specified
Organ weight findings including organ / body weight ratios:
effects observed, treatment-related
Description (incidence and severity):
In males that received 750 mg/kg/day, there were increases in relative adrenal, testes, kidney and liver weights and decreased absolute spleen, kidney and thymus weights. Liver weights were also increased in females that received 750 mg/kg/day. No associated gross or microscopic findings were observed in these organs.
Gross pathological findings:
not specified
Neuropathological findings:
not specified
Histopathological findings: non-neoplastic:
effects observed, non-treatment-related
Description (incidence and severity):
Mild exocrine cell necrosis of the pancreas was observed in animals that received 750 mg/kgbw.
Histopathological findings: neoplastic:

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Based on information provided by ECHA, the results of a 28 day repeated dose study include a NOAEL of 225 mg/kg/day based on effects observed in the pancreas of high dose animals.
