Results and discussion
Results of examinations
- Clinical signs:
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- There were no clinical changes observed in any animal throughout the experimental period which would be related to treatment with the test article. On a few occasions, wounds, cuts, and scratches, nose bleed, crusted nose, and nasal discharge were observed in single animals. The findings are considered to be not treatment-related.
- Mortality:
- no mortality observed
- Description (incidence):
- - males: One male control animal and one group 3 (intermediate dose group) male died accidentally on days 29 and 19 respectively. These unscheduled mortalities were considered to be incidental and due to experimental procedure.
- female: One female group 3 animal (intermediate dose group) died accidentally on day 26 and three high dose females died accidentally on days 26, 41, and 90 of study. These unscheduled mortalities were considered to be incidental and due to experimental procedures. - Body weight and weight changes:
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- - Body weight gain (day 1 to 91) was considered normal for male and female animals of all groups.
- Food consumption and compound intake (if feeding study):

- Urinalysis findings:
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- - Although there was an increased incidence of positive reactions for hemoglobin concentration in the urine of high dose males exclusively, these findings are considered to be of minor biological significance since these results could not be confirmed by microscopic urine analysis.

- not examined
- Immunological findings:
- not examined
- Organ weight findings including organ / body weight ratios:
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- - Examination of absolute and relative organ weights including weights of ovaries and testes did not reveal any treatment-related changes in male and female animals.
- Gross pathological findings:
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- - Macroscopic necropsy findings revealed some stomach ulcer at fundus and cardia region in one high dose male and female each.
There were no other treatment-related macroscopic necropsy findings. - Neuropathological findings:
- not examined
- Histopathological findings: non-neoplastic:
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- - Forestomach: Forestomach gastritis was seen in high and mid dose males and females. From the samples examined the foresomach gastritis was chronic and diffuse in affected animals and was characterised by squamous hyperplasia, with submucosal oedema and inflammatory cell infiltration in some animals. The severity of the forestomach gastritis was judged by the pathologist as minimal to moderate.
-- high dose group: Forestomach gastritis was present in six high dose group males, and three high dose females.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Up to and including the highest tested dose of 300 mg a.i./kg bw/d ( = 1000 mg product (a.i. ca. 30 %)/kg bw/d, C8-18 AAPB was tolerated with no evidence of any systemic toxicity in this 90 day rat gavage study.
The only intolerance seen at the mid and high dose level was a local irritative effects at the side of application (forestomach gastritis). This substance related finding is judged as not relevant in view of a potential serious health risk for humans due to significant different anatomic situation and exposure probability in humans. Therefore the NOEL relevant to human DNEL calculation is the is the NOEL for systemic effects which is the highest tested dose of 300 mg a.i./kg bw/d ( = 1000 mg product (a.i. ca. 30 %)/kg bw/d. - Executive summary:
In a subchronic toxicity study according OECD guideline 408 (1981), C8 -18 AAPB (30.3 % a.i. ) was administered to 10 male and 10 female Sprague-Dawley rats per dose by gavage at dose levels of 0, 250, 500, 1000 mg/kg bw/day (corresponding to ca. 75, 150, and 300 mg active ingredient/kg bw) for 90 days. The aqueous test item was further diluted with aqua destillata to achieve the scheduled doses. Concentrations in test formulations were analytically verified. The substance was tolerated without any systemic effects. Up to and including the highest dose tested of 1000 mg/kg bw, there were no compound related effects in mortality, clinical signs, body weight, food consumption, hematology, clinical chemistry, organ weights including weights of ovaries and testes, systemic organ pathology and histopathology including inspection of epididymides, testes, prostate, seminal vesicle, ovaries, mammary gland and uterus. The only treatment related effect seen in this study was a local inflammatory response at the site of application (forestomach gastritis) most probably caused by an irritant effect of the test item. These appeared in gross pathology findings in form of some stomach ulcer at fundus and cardia region in one male and one female rat at 1000 mg/kg bw/day, and in microscopic findings in form of squamous hyperplasia, submucosal edema, inflammatory cell filtration at a dose level of >= 500 mg/kg bw/day (2/10 male and 2/10 female rats at a dose level of 500 mg/kg bw, and at 1000 mg/kg bw in 6/10 males and 3/10 females). The severity of the forestomach gastritis was judged by the pathologist as minimal to moderate. Forestomach gastritis is a common finding in rat gavage studies on irritative test items. This treatment related finding is generally forced by the gavage exposure regime with constantly repeated bolus ingestion and missing when the test items are applicated via food or the drinking water. The reversibility of AAPB induced rat forestomach gastritis and its missing when the test item is applicated via food have been proven in a subacute gavage study with recovery group (see study 61789-40-0_8.6.1_Henkel_1991_OECD 407) and in a subchronic food study (see study 61789-40-0_8.6.2_90days_Unilever_A03_FT890785, both studies also reported in this IUCLID), respectively. A forestomach or a functional correlate to the rat forestomach is missing in humans.The irritative rat forestomach gastritis is judged as not relevant in view of a potential serious health risk for humans due to significant different anatomic situation and exposure probability in humans. Therefore, the NOEL derived from this study relevant to human DNEL calculation is the NOEL for systemic effects which is the highest tested dose of 300 mg a.i./kg bw/d ( = 1000 mg product (a.i. ca. 30 %)/kg bw/d. The LOEL local effects (500 mg/kg bw/day, corresponding to ca. 150 mg active ingredient/kg bw), based on local irritative effects at the site of application (forestomach gastritis), is judged as not relevant to humans due to significant different anatomic situation and exposure probability in humans.
