Test animals
- Species:
- rabbit
- Strain:
- other: HRA:[NZW]SPF
- Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
- Timed-mated HRA:[NZW]SPF rabbits aged between 5 and 6 months of age at initiation of dosing and weighing between 2.7 and 3.8 kg were obtained from Covance Research Products (Denver, PA). The female rabbits were mated at the supplier and the day of mating was designated GD 0. Rabbits were uniquely identified by tattoo and ear tag and were individually housed in suspended injection-molded plastic cages. Rabbits were acclimated to laboratory conditions before initiation of dosing. Approximately 140 g of Certified high fiber rabbit diet 5325 (PMI Nutrition International) and 10g of Certified rabbit stix (Bio-Serv, Frenchtown, NJ) was offered daily and reverse osmosis purified water was provided ad libitum. The room in which the animals were housed was maintained at 61–721F, relative humidity 30–70%, and had a 12-h light/dark cycle. The use of animals in this study followed the guide- lines provided in the NRC Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals (1996) and the Animal Welfare Act. This study was approved by the facility’s Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee and was conducted in an Association for the Assessment and Accreditation of Laboratory Animal Care accredited facility.

Examinations
- Maternal examinations:
- Maternal body weights were recorded on GD 0, 7, 10, 13, 16, 19, 22, 25, and 29. Food consumption was visually estimated such that a value of 0 indicated that the rabbit ate 0–19% of food offered; a value of 1 indicated that the rabbit ate 20–79% of food offered; a value of 2 indicated that the rabbit ate 80–100% of food offered. Food consumption was visually estimated daily from 2 days after arrival (GD 1 to 5) through GD 29. All females were observed once daily for physical signs of toxicity on the day of arrival through the day of necropsy on GD 29. During the dosing interval (GD 7–19), females were also observed 1–3 h after dosing. Females were euthanized on GD 29 by an intravenous injection of Beuthanasia-D-Special (Schering-Plough) and the uterus of each female was examined to determine pregnancy status. Corpora lutea were counted and recorded as left and right and the total number per female are presented. A gross examination of the thoracic and abdominal cavities was performed on all F0 females in all dose groups.
- Ovaries and uterine content:
- Uterine implants were counted and each was classified as a live fetus, dead fetus, or resorption (early or late), and the total number per animal are presented. Placental morphology was evaluated by gross evaluation.
- Fetal examinations:
- All fetuses were weighed and examined externally. After external examination, each fetus was euthanized by intraperitoneal injection of Beuthanasia-D-Special (Schering- Plough). The heads of all fetuses were examined after fresh, free-hand coronal sectioning, and a fresh visceral examination was performed on all fetuses using a modified Staples’ technique (Stuckhardt and Poppe, 1984). The gender of each fetus was determined by visceral examination of the gonads. All fetuses were subsequently fixed in 95% ethanol and stained with alizarin red for skeletal examination. Fetal observations were recorded in general accordance with internationally developed terminology (Wise et al., 1997).
- Statistics:
- The adult animal or litter was considered as the experimental unit and was evaluated by identifying biologically significant changes and/or using comparative statistical methods. Descriptive statistics are presented as the mean7 standard deviation (SD), unless otherwise noted. Continuous variables including body weight gain, food consumption, number of corpora lutea, and number of implantation sites were analyzed using a one-way analysis of variance (Scheffe, 1959). If these analyses revealed significant differences, pairwise comparisons were performed using Dunnett’s test (Miller, 1981). Noncontinuous variables including % pre-implantation loss, % post-implantation loss, % affected fetuses per litter for total external, visceral and skeletal malformations were analyzed using a Kruskal–Wallis non-parametric analysis of variance (Kruskal and Wallis, 1952). If these analyses revealed significant differences, pairwise comparisons were performed using Dunn’s test (Dunn, 1964). A probability value of Pr0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Results and discussion
Results: maternal animals
General toxicity (maternal animals)
- Clinical signs:
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- In the rabbit teratology study, both the 500 and 1,000 mg/kg HPbCD groups exhibited stool findings (loose and/or scant stool) and concomitant effects on food consumption and body weight, when compared with MC. Owing to this excessive maternal toxicity, four rabbits in the 500 mg/kg and three rabbits in the 1,000 mg/kg HPbCD groups were euthanized for humane reasons on GD 16–20. In addition to these mortalities described above, one additional rabbit each in the 500 and 1,000 mg/kg HPbCD groups was euthanized because of abortion, which was attributed to maternal toxicity (scant stool, decreased food consumption, and body weight loss).
- Mortality:
- no mortality observed
- Body weight and weight changes:
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- Individual rabbits in the 500 and 1,000 mg/kg HPbCD groups exhibited decreases in body weight gain during GD 7–19, when compared with MC (data not shown). This finding correlated with decreased food consumption and stool findings. During the post-dosing interval, mean body weights and food consumption in these HPbCD groups exhibited evidence of recovery and were comparable to the MC group.
