- Sprague-Dawley
- Sex:
- male/female
- Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
- The test animals were male and female Sprague-Dawley Crl:CD BR rats obtained from Charles River (UK) Limited, Kent, UK. They were 5-8 weeks old and weighed 170-217 g (males); 149-189 g (females). The animals were acclimatised for 11 days. They were housed in groups of up to four by sex in polypropylene grid-floor suspended cages. A ground diet (Rat and Mouse SQC Ground Diet No. 1, SDS Ltd., Essex UK) was provided ad libitum, except during urine collection when food was withdrawn overnight. Mains water was supplied ad libitum. The animal room was maintained to provide a temperature of 21±2°C, relative humidity of 55±15%, at least 15 air changes per hour, and lighting was provided on a 12 hour light/dark cycle.

- Not applicable.
Examinations
- Observations and examinations performed and frequency:
- The rats were observed for clinical signs and mortality once daily. Individual bodyweights were recorded on Day 0 and weekly thereafter. Food consumption was determined for each cage weekly. Water consumption was assessed daily by visual inspection. ophthalmoscopic examinations were conducted for all rats at the start of treatment, and for control and high dose rats at Week 12.
Blood was collected at study termination for haematology and clinical chemistry determinations. The following haematology parameters were determined: haemoglobin, erythrocyte count, haematocrit, MCH, MCV, MCHC, total leukocyte count, differential leukocyte count, platelet count and reticulocyte count. Prothrombin time and activated partial thromboplastin time were assessed. The following clinical chemistry parameters were determined: urea, glucose, total protein, globulin, albumin, albumin/globulin ratio, sodium, potassium, chloride, calcium., magnesium, inorganic phosphorous, gamma glutamyltransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase, sorbitol dehydroferase, creatinine, total cholesterol, total bilirubin.
Urine was collected from all animals at Week 13 for urinalysis. The following parameters were determined: volume, bilirubin, specific gravity, pH, urobilinogen, reducing substances, protein, blood, glucose, ketones, microscopic examination of sediment. - Sacrifice and pathology:
- All surviving animals were sacrificed at study termination and subject to gross necropsy. The following organs from terminal kill animals were weighed: adrenals, brain, epididymides, heart, kidneys, liver, lungs, ovaries, spleen, testes, thymus and uterus. The following tissues were processed for histological examination: adrenals, aorta, bone and bone marrow (femur and sternum), brain, caecum, colon, duodenum, epididymides, eyes, gross lesions and masses, heart, ileum, jejunum, kidneys, larynx, liver, lungs, lymph nodes, mammary gland, muscle, nasal cavity, oesophagus, ovaries, pancreas, pharynx, pituitary, prostate, rectum, salivary glands, sciatic nerve, seminal vesicles, skin, spinal cord, spleen, stomach, testes, thymus, thyroid/parathyroid, tongue, trachea, urinary bladder, uterus. Histopathology was carried out for all tissues from control and high dose rats, and for the lungs, liver and kidneys from all rats at 500 and 1500 ppm (352 and 1056 ppm a.s.).
- Other examinations:
- No other examinations performed.
- Statistics:
- ANOVA, Dunnett’s test, Levene’s test, Kruskal Wallis ANOVA and Mann Whitney U test.

- CLINICAL SIGNS AND MORTALITY
There were no treatment-related mortalities, however one control male died during blood sampling on Day 90. No clinical signs of toxicity were observed. Isolated occurrences of hair loss and/or red/brown staining of the external body surface were observed among animals of either sex from all groups; these signs occasionally occur in group housed rats and were therefore not considered to be of toxicological significance.
BODY WEIGHT AND WEIGHT GAIN
Body weight gain was reduced in both sexes of animals treated with 4500 ppm during the first 6 weeks of treatment (except for females in Week 3). Body weight development returned to normal in these animals after week 6, although these animals completed the treatment period with a lower terminal body weight than the controls. Animals in the 500 and 1500 ppm groups showed similar body weight gains to the controls.
FOOD CONSUMPTION AND COMPOUND INTAKE (if feeding study)
Reduced food intake was observed at 4500 ppm (both sexes) throughout treatment, except in females at Week 8.
FOOD EFFICIENCY
Food efficiency was reduced in 4500 ppm females during the first week of treatment.
WATER CONSUMPTION
There were no treatment-related changes.
OPHTHALMOSCOPIC EXAMINATION
There were no treatment-related changes.
HAEMATOLOGY
There were no treatment-related changes. Females treated with 4500 ppm showed a slight (but significant) reduction in total leukocyte count and a significant increase in haematocrit compared to controls. However there were no concomitant changes in associated haematological parameters or any histopathological correlates, therefore the slight difference observed was not considered to be toxicologically relevant.
CLINICAL CHEMISTRY
Reduced plasma total protein and globulin, and increased plasma alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase were observed at 4500 ppm (both sexes). Reduced plasma cholesterol was observed in 4500 ppm females. Reduced plasma sorbitol dehydrogenase was observed in the 4500 ppm males, but was considered unlikely to be of toxicological significance.
URINALYSIS
There were no treatment-related changes.
ORGAN WEIGHTS
Reduced absolute liver weights were observed at 4500 ppm (both sexes). Reduced relative (to terminal body weight) liver weights were observed in 4500 ppm males. It was considered likely that these changes were primarily associated with the reduced terminal body weight observed in this group, particularly in the absence of any histopathological correlates, but since a slght effect on relative liver weight was observed, a relationship to treatment could not be discounted. Other incidental differences were noted in the 4500 ppm group, however these findings were considered to be related to the effects on body weight, and there were no histopathological correlates - therefore these findings were considered to be of no toxicological significance.
GROSS PATHOLOGY
Three 4500 ppm females had a small spleen. Two 4500 ppm males and one 1500 ppm male had a malformed spleen, but this was considered to be a congenital abnormality often seen in laboratory rats and was therefore not considered to be relevant.
HISTOPATHOLOGY: NON-NEOPLASTIC
There were no treatment-related changes.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- There was no purity correction incorporated for this study, the actual test material concentration was calculated at those dose levels.
NOEL = 127 mg/kg/day (1500 ppm)
NOAEL = 391 mg/kg/day (4500 ppm) - Executive summary:
Groups of Sprague Dawley rats (10/sex/dose level) were fed Bardap 26 (N,N-Didecyl-N-methyl-poly(oxyethyl)ammonium Propionate aqueous/alcohol solution) for 90-days at 0, 500, 1500 or 4500 ppm according to OECD 408.
There were no treatment-related mortalities or clinical signs of toxicity in any animal during the study. There were no treatment-related effects on water consumption (visual inspection), haematology or urinalysis and there were no treatment-related changes detected during ophthalmoscopic examination. Body weight gain was reduced in both sexes during the first 6 weeks of treatment (except for females in Week 3). Reduced food intake was observed at 4500 ppm (both sexes) throughout treatment, except in females at Week 8. Reduced plasma total protein and globulin, and increased plasma alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase were observed at 4500 ppm (both sexes). Reduced plasma cholesterol was observed in 4500 ppm females. Reduced absolute liver weights were observed at 4500 ppm (both sexes). Reduced relative liver weights were observed in 4500 ppm males. Gross necropsy revealed three 4500 ppm females had a small spleen.
There was no purity correction incorporated for this study, the actual test material concentration was calculated at those dose levels.
The NOEL = 1500 ppm (corresponding to 127 mg/kg/day), and the LOAEL = 4500 ppm (corresponding to 391 mg/kg/day).
