Examinations

Observations and examinations performed and frequency:
Animal were subjected to routine clinical observations. Their body weight and food and water consumption were recorded. Haematologicalm clinicochemical and ophtalmoscopic investigations were performedduring week 7 and 13. At the end of the treatment period, all the animals were subjected to general pathological examination and organ weight analizes. A wide range of tissues was fixed and examineted by microscope.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Systemic toxicity was not observed in any group. The NOAEL for systemic toxicity was 1000 mg/kg bw/day. The NOEC for “local compatibility” (irritation and ulceration of the mucous membrane of the forestomach) was deduced as 2.5% active ingredient.
Executive summary:

Sprague-Dawley rats were dosed by gavage with 0, 250, 500 and 1000 mg/kg bw/day C12/16 APG for 90 days. An additional 5 male and 5 female control and high dose rats were used as a recovery group. There were two fatalities, neither of which was linked to the test material. No treatment-related changes in body weights, organ weights, or biochemistry or hematology parameters were observed. Absolute gonad weights were decreased in all test groups, but the decrease was not considered treatment related by the researchers because of a lack of a dose-response. A dose-dependent, slowly reversible, irritation and ulceration of the forestomach mucosa was observed in animals of the 0.5 and 1 g/kg bw groups. Systemic toxicity was not observed in any group. The NOAEL for systemic toxicity was 1000 mg/kg bw. The NOEC for “local compatibility” (irritation and ulceration of the mucous membrane of the forestomach) was deduced as 2.5% active ingredient.
