Mean number of pups per litter was significantly lower for the mid and high dose groups from PD1 up to PD21 (see table in "Any other information on results incl. tables").
CLINICAL SIGNS (OFFSPRING)

BODY WEIGHT (OFFSPRING)
Significantly reduced for the mid and high dose group pups (see table in "Any other information on results incl. tables").
ORGAN WEIGHTS (OFFSPRING)
In all test groups significant increases of absolute and relative organ weight were observed (see table in "Any other information on results incl. tables"). The decreases in the absolute organ weight can be considered related to the decrease in body weight in the mid and high dose group, however, this does not explain the effect on relative organ weights. The organ weight effects may have been caused by direct developmental toxicity or by the poor general condition (body and organ weight effects) of the dams.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Under the conditions of this study, a developmental LOAEL of 144 mg/kg bw/day was established based on significant effects on the organ weights of F1 pups of the low dose group. The parental LOAEL was established to be 132 and 144 mg/kg bw/day for males and females, respectively, based on significant effects on relative organ weights in the low dose group.
- Executive summary:
The study was conducted according to an equivalent of OECD 415 and used to determine effects of Santicizer 141 on the fertility and reproduction of parents and development of offspring. Male and female rats were treated with the test article prior to mating (M: 70 days, F: 21 days), during mating, during pregnancy and up to lactation (females only) with 0, 0.2, 0.4 or 0.8% Santicizer 141 in food (corresponding to 132, 259 and 490 mg/kg bw/day for males and 144, 293 and 536 mg/kg bw/day for females).
No mortality was observed for the parental treatment groups, but significant effects on primarily food consumption and relative organ weights were noted for the low dose group. Additional significant effects observed in the high dose groups were related to water consumption, body weight and histopathology (only high dose group examined). For the low dose group pups, only a statistical significant effect on relative organ weights was observed. Additional significant effects on postnatal weight gain and post natal survival were noted for the mid and high dose group.
Under the conditions of this study, a developmental LOAEL of 144 mg/kg bw/day was established based on a decrease in postnatal survival and litter size. The parental LOAEL was established to be 132 and 144 mg/kg bw/day for males and females, respectively.
The effects in P and F1 at the lowest dose level were considered minimal for this study, but when considering the (comparable) effects observed in the available 90-day repeated dose toxicity study (in which lower dose levels are tested), it is indicated that these observed effects are of toxicological relevance. The NOAEL is expected to be lower than the doses tested in this study and therefore the LOAEL was set at the lowest dose level.
