Results and discussion

Results of examinations

Clinical signs:

effects observed, treatment-related

Description (incidence and severity):

Gait abnormalities in high dose (stilted and/or uncoordinated gait)

Mortality:

no mortality observed

Body weight and weight changes:

effects observed, treatment-related

Description (incidence and severity):

Mean body weight was significantly lower for high dose males and females; mean body weights for mid dose males were significantly lower.

Food efficiency:

not examined

Ophthalmological findings:

no effects observed

Haematological findings:

no effects observed

Clinical biochemistry findings:

effects observed, treatment-related

Description (incidence and severity):

Clinical chemistry changes comprised significantly increased total bilirubin for the high dose group, slightly increased urea nitrogen for mid and high dose females and very slightly increased AST and ALT activity in the liver of high dose males.

Urinalysis findings:

no effects observed

Behaviour (functional findings):

no effects observed

Organ weight findings including organ / body weight ratios:

no effects observed

Gross pathological findings:

no effects observed

Histopathological findings: non-neoplastic:

no effects observed

Details on results:

At the end of 28-day treatment, body weight in males was -5.3% (p > 0.05, ns) at low dose -7.5% (p ≤ 0.05) at mid dose, and -10% (p ≤ 0.05) at high dose compared to the body weight of controls. At the end of recovery, body weight in high dose males remained at the same, significantly lower level (-9.8%, p ≤ 0.05). Body weights in high dose females were -10.4% lower than the control values at the end of treatment and a clear tendency to recover was seen at the end of 4-week recovery (difference was still -5.9%, p > 0.05, ns). Food consumption remained unaffected throughout the study in all dose groups. Hematology findings in high dose groups included significantly increased hematocrit and decreased reticulocyte counts (males only) and slightly increased white blood cell counts with a shift towards increased neutrophils (both genders), all findings were reversible. Clinical chemistry changes comprised significantly increased total bilirubin for the high dose group, slightly increased urea nitrogen for mid and high dose females and very slightly increased AST and ALT activity in the liver of high dose males. Urinalysis remained unaffected in all dose groups. No anatomic pathology correlates (organ weights, macroscopy, microscopy) of toxicological significance were detected.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

The test substance was administered by gavage to CD rats in a 28-day OECD 407 guideline experiment with a 14 day recovery period. Doses were 3.25, 12.5 and 50 mg/kg bw/day. Mean body weight was significantly lower for mid and high dose males and in high dose females. There were no significant clinical effects, clinical chemistry or pathology results associated with treatment. The NOAEL was 3.25 mg/kg bw/d.
