Introduction
The test substance was tested for reproduction and subacute toxicity using the OECD Test Guideline No. 422: Combined Repeated Dose Toxicity Study with the Reproduction/Developmental Toxicity Screening Test, Adopted by the Council on 28th July 2015.
Methods
Wistar rats of SPF quality were used for testing. The test substance was administered in the form of solution in water for injection. Oral application by stomach tube was performed daily. The study includes four main groups and two satellite groups of animals. Each main group consisted of 12 males and 12 females; each satellite group consisted of 6 males and 6 females. Main groups contained 3 treated groups (doses 250, 500, 1000 mg/kg of body weight /day) and one control group (vehicle only). The satellite groups contained one control group (vehicle only) and one treated group (1000 mg/kg/day). The dose levels for study were determined on the basis of results of a dose-range finding experiment (see the Annex 2) and approved by Sponsor.
The treated groups were administered daily for the following periods:
males and females – 2 weeks prior to the mating period and during the mating period,
pregnant females – during pregnancy and till the 12th day of lactation,
males – after mating period – totally for 49 days,
nonpregnant females (mated females without parturition) – for 25 days after the confirmed mating,
non-mated females – for 25 days after the end of mating period
After the end of administration period the animals of main groups were sacrificed and satellite animals were observed for the next 14 days without treatment.
During the study clinical observation and health status controls were performed daily. The body weight and food consumption were measured weekly. Detailed clinical observation was carried out weekly. The functional observation was performed at the end of application and observation period. Vaginal smears were prepared daily, 2 weeks before start of administration period (oestrous cycle monitoring), during the mating period (until the presence of spermatozoa) and at necropsy day. Reproduction parameters relevant to pups (number of pups, weight of litters, weight, sex and vitality of pups, measurement of anogenital distance, nipple retention) were also recorded.
The study was finished by urinalysis, haematological and biochemical analysis and gross necropsy of animals. In all males of main groups the sperm parameters, sperm motility and sperm morphology were examined. The selected organs from parental animals and pups were removed for weighing and histopathological examination.
Results
Repeated oral administration of the tested substance to rats by gavage at the dose levels of 250, 500 and 1000 mg/kg/day did not cause any mortality.
Reproduction part of study:
Parental males and females
The dose level 250 mg/kg/day – No significant changes in growth on treated animals were recorded. Macroscopic examination not showed findings of reproductive organs.
Biometry of organs shows decreased relative and absolute weight of prostate gland and seminal vesicles in males, differences from control were insignificant. In females no changes of weight of organs were recorded.
Examination of sperm in males was without significant changes.
The dose level 500 mg/kg/day – No significant changes in growth on treated animals were recorded.
The concentration of thyroid hormone thyroxine (T4) examined in males was decreased, but this value was in physiological range for rats.
During biometry of organs, examination of sperm in males and macroscopic examination of organs no significant changes related to the test substance treatment were not detected.
The dose level 1000 mg/kg/day – No significant changes in growth on treated animals were recorded.
Biometry of organs showed significant decrease relative and absolute weight of prostate gland and seminal vesicles in males.
No significant changes during examination of sperm in males were recorded.
During the examination of microscopical structure of reproductive organs no toxicological significant changes appeared.
The concentration of thyroid hormone thyroxine (T4) examined in males was significantly decreased, but this value was in physiological range for rats.
Pups
Mean number of pups per litter and sex ration were not affected by the test substance treatment. In pups at the highest dose level the mean body weight was slightly decreased.
No differences in postnatal developmental were observed in pups at the treated groups – presence of nipples in male pups was not recorded and anogenital distance in treated pups in comparison with the control pups was similar. Concentration of thyroxine hormone T4 in pups was similar with the control group.
Pups in all dose level were without macroscopic findings.
During the microscopical evaluation of thyroid gland in pups no findings were found out.
Reproduction parameters
Female with abortion was not recorded. Number of females showing evidence of copulation and number of females achieving pregnancy was not seriously affected. Number of corpora lutea, number of implantations was not significant changed. The number of females with pups was reduced at the highest dose level but one female died during the study and this unrelated with the test substance treatment.
Male and female fertility index at the highest dose level was insignificantly decreased. Gestation and survival index was without toxicological significant changes.
Conclusion
The NOAEL (No Observed Adverse Effect Level) for REPRODUCTION and DEVELOPMENT was established as 1000 mg/kg body weight/day.

One sttudy is available for analogue substance 3 for the reproductive toxicity following OECD 422. No effects on the reproductive performance, nor on uterus and ovaries pathology, sperm motility was observed at any dose. Under the experimental conditions the NOAEL is set to 1000 mg/kg bw /day.
Two other studies are available for analogue substance 4, a multi-generation study with small information, focused on reprotoxicity without any effects up to 1500 mg/kg bw /day and teratogenicty and a 2 years toxicity study where the organs histopathology of testes and ovaries did not show any effects up to the highest dose, 500 mg/kg bw /day.
Based on the read across considerations the target substance has a NOAEL equal to 1000 mg/kg bw /day.

Additional information
Two studies are available on two analogue substances. The first study is an OECD 422 wehre the development of pups unitl PND12 was assesed without effects on survival, sex ratio, wiehgts. The maternal part was assed for number of corpora lutea, pre and post-implantations losses, number of pregnancies and abortions, duration of pregnancy and the NOAEL resulted equal to 1000 mg/kg bw/day. Anoher study, for which small information is available, equivalent to OECD 414 focused on the pre-natal developmental toxicity: the number of corpora lutea and the number and position of implantation sites were recorded. Live foetuses, embryonic and foetal resorptions, and dead foetuses were counted. Half the foetuses in the control and top dose groups were examined for skeletal malformations and the other half for visceral defects. At autopsy, no signs of embryotoxicity or teratogenicity were observed and the fianl NOAEL is equal to 2500 mg/kg bw /day.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Reproductive toxicity includes adverse effects on sexual function and fertility in sexually adult males and females animals, as well as developmental toxicity in the offspring. However, developmental toxicity essentially means all the adverse effects induced during pregnancy that can be manifested at any point of the life span of the animal, which might in turn bring to structural abnormality, altered growth and/or organs development, functional deficiency, even death.
Table 3.7.1(a) of Annex I of EC Regulation 1272/2008 states that to classify compounds "for category 2 suspected human reproductive toxicant, reproductive effects shall have been observed in the absence of other toxic effects, or if occurring together with other toxic effects the adverse effect on reproduction is considered not to be a secondary non-specific consequence of the other toxic effects". None of the submitted studies performed on the analogue substances show any indication of direct adverse effect on reproduction. In fact up to the dose of 1000 mg/kg bw/day no effects were observed in both genders on reproduction, nor parental toxicity was detected. Moreover, no developmental toxic effects in the offspring were observed at all doses.
In conclusion, since no adverse effects on reproduction were observed, classification for reproductive/developmental toxicity is not warranted under Regulation 1272/2008.
Based on the read across considerations same non classification apply to target substance.
