Maternal developmental toxicity
- Number of abortions:

- Description (incidence and severity):
- The overall pregnancy rates were 75.0 % in the vehicle control, 88.9 % in the low-dose, 94.4 % in the intermediate dose and 93.3% in the high-dose group. No significant intergroup differences were assumed.
Effect levels (maternal animals)
- Dose descriptor:
- NOAEL
- Effect level:
- 1 200 mg/kg bw/day (actual dose received)
- Basis for effect level:
- other: maternal toxicity
Results (fetuses)
- Fetal body weight changes:
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- In comparison with the vehicle control, the average body weight of the live foetuses was not diminished at either dose. In the intermediate dose a slight but significant increase was noted (Student's t test, one-tailed, observed p < 0.01). In view of the data recorded for the historical control population, this finding, however, is not believed to be of a biological relevance.
- Reduction in number of live offspring:
- no effects observed
- Changes in sex ratio:
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- The sex ratios (expressed as percent male foetuses) were not significantly altered in either group.
- Changes in litter size and weights:
- no effects observed
- Changes in postnatal survival:
- no effects observed
- External malformations:
- no effects observed
- Skeletal malformations:
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- The skeletal assessment revealed instances of irregular sternebral ossification in the vehicle control as well as in the dose groups.
Concerning skeletal maturation of the foetuses, a slight but significant delay in ossification of in particular the 5th sternebra was recorded for the high-dose group in comparison with the vehicle control; with regard of the ranges recorded for the historical
control, no experimental significance is attached to this finding, the sternebral anomalies were considered to be of a spontaneous origin. Sternebral anomalies were recorded to occur at an incidence of 0.87% in the historical control population. - Visceral malformations:
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- The gross and visceral examination of the live foetuses revealed anomalies and/or malformations in the intermediate and high-dose groups and in the vehicle control.
Omphalocele was recorded for one foetus each ot the intermediate dose group and the vehicle control, respectively. One instance of internal hydrocephaly was found in the intermediate dose group, excessive fluid in the abdominal and thoracic cavities was noted for one foetus of the vehicle control. Unilateral agenesis of kidney and unilateral agenesis of kidney and ureter occurred in one foetus each from one litter of the high-dose group. These malformations and/or anonalies were considered to be of a spontaneous origin and not related to tne treatment, the incidence of agenesis ot kidney/ureter being 0.16% in the historical control population of the breed of rabbits used for the present study.
