No. of animals per sex per dose:

Details on study design:
- Dose selection rationale: Maternal toxicity at 300 mg/kg bw/day (evident in decreased corrected body-weight gain and decreased food consumption).
- Rationale for animal assignment (if not random): The sperm-positive females were allocated to each experimental group (on each mating day) in such a way that the group averages of the body weight were as similar as possible.
- Dosage: Volume 3 mL/kg bw. The individual volume of the treatment was based on the most recent individual body weight of the animals.

Statistics:
The statistical evaluation of data* was performed with the program package SPSS PC+4.0 (SPSS Hungary Kft, Budapest) or SAS 9.2 in the case of Provantis 9, by an appropriate statistical method (Bartlett, ANOVA and Duncan, Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney U tests, Chi2) using the litter as the unit for data analysis. 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 made. If the obtained result was significant Duncan’s Multiple Range test was used to assess the significance of inter-group differences. Significant results with inter-group comparisons were further compared using Kruskal-Wallis, and Mann-Whitney U-tests.
Indices:
Maternal: Preimplantation loss: %, group mean / Postimplantation loss: %, group mean
Foetal: Sex distribution: %, group mean; External abnormalities/litter: %, group mean; Visceral abnormalities/litter: %, group mean; Skeletal abnormalities/litter: %, group mean

Results and discussion

Results: maternal animals

General toxicity (maternal animals)

Clinical signs:
no effects observed
Mortality:
no mortality observed
Body weight and weight changes:
effects observed, treatment-related
Description (incidence and severity):
There was no statistically significant difference in the development of total body weight across all groups (Report, Fig. 1). However, bw gain during the treatment period from GD6 - GD20 revealed some significance in the mid- and high-dose groups (decrease ~11 to ~12% vs. control, p<0.05). This trend became more prominent after correction for the uterus content: decrease in bw gain from GD6 - GD20 = ~50% and ~40%, respectively (p<0.01) (Report, Tab. 1 and Fig. 2).

Food consumption and compound intake (if feeding study):
effects observed, treatment-related
Description (incidence and severity):
The reduction in the food intake in the mid- and high-dose groups - though overall small and without clear dose-response - became more marked from the time of dosing on GD6 and thus is consistent with the concomittant decreases in the corrected body-weight gains (comp. Report, Fig. 3 and 4). Therefore, these effects on food intake are ascribed to treatment (see Attached document).

Results (fetuses)

Fetal body weight changes:
no effects observed
Description (incidence and severity):
The weight of viable foetuses per litter in the Low-, Mid- and High-dose groups (60, 150 and 300 mg/kg bw/day, respectively) did not differ significantly from the control mean value. In any dose-group, the total number of retarded foetuses (with a weight of < the concurrent control mean minus 2 S.D.) as well as the number of affected litters was not significantly higher than the untreated control (see "Any other information", Table 3).
Reduction in number of live offspring:
no effects observed
Description (incidence and severity):
The mean number of viable foetuses was comparable with the control mean (see "Any other information", Table 2 and 3).
Changes in sex ratio:
no effects observed
Description (incidence and severity):
There was no toxicologically significant difference in the sex distribution of foetuses between the control and treatment groups (see "Any other information", Table 3).
Changes in litter size and weights:
no effects observed
Description (incidence and severity):
See "Any other information", Table 3
Changes in postnatal survival:
not examined
External malformations:
no effects observed
Description (incidence and severity):
No statistically significant differences were observed in these examined parameters of any test item-treated groups when compared to the negative (vehicle) control (see "Any other information on results", Table 4).
Skeletal malformations:
no effects observed
Description (incidence and severity):
All of the skeletal findings correspond to the current historical control (HC) or the concurrent study control data, or were considered to be spontaneous events unrelated to treatment (see "Any other information on results", Table 5).
Visceral malformations:
no effects observed
Description (incidence and severity):
All abnormalities observed at visceral examination in this study were considered incidental findings, consistent with the concurrent study control data and with historical control (HC) data, spontaneous events unrelated to treatment (see "Any other information on results", Table 6).

Other effects:
not specified
Details on embryotoxic / teratogenic effects:
no treatment-related effects observed (see under "Any other inormation on results").

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Doses of ≥ 150 mg/kg bw/day of OAPP produced mild but significant maternal toxicity in pregnant Wistar rats. However, this was limited to a reduction in body-weight gain corrected for the uterine mass. Maternal growth retardation correlated with reduced food intake during the exposure period (GD6 through GD19). Prenatal adverse effects that could have been ascribed to the test-item were not observed at any dose level.
The maternal NOEL (No-observed-effect level) and LOAEL were 60 and 150 mg/kg bw/day, respectively, while the NOAEL for embryo- and foetotoxicity was 300 mg/kg bw/day, the highest dose tested, which proved to be maternally toxic.
Executive summary:

In a GLP-conform guideline study on prenatal development according to OECD 414, oligomerisation and alkylation reaction products of 2-phenylpropene and phenol (OAPP) [EC-no. 700 -960 -7], administered daily by oral gavage to pregnant Hannover Wistar rats from gestation days GD6 to GD19, was associated with the following findings: In the Mid- and High-dose group (150 and 300 mg/kg bw/day), there was a reduction in maternal body-weight gain and corrected body-weight gain, as well as in food intake during Gestation Day 6 – 20. The differences were considered to be relatively mild signs of maternal toxicity. There was no evidence of any adverse maternal effects in the Low-dose group at 60 mg/kgbw/day.

There were no toxicologically significant differences or test item related-changes in the reproductive parameters examined up to and including 300 mg/kg bw/day. No foetal effects were seen at exteral, visceral and/or skeletal examination of foetuses in the study which could be related to the test-item administration.

In this study, from the observations made in the dams and their foetuses, the following no-observed-adverse-effect (NOAEL), low-observed-adverse effect (LOAEL) or no-observed-effect (NOEL) levels were derived:

LOAELmaternal toxicity:                  150 mg/kg bw/day

NOELmaternal toxicity:                     60 mg/kg bw/day

NOAELembryotoxicity:                    300 mg/kg bw/day

NOAELfoetotoxicity:                        300 mg/kg bw/day

NOAELteratogenecity:                     300 mg/kg bw/day.
