Effects on fertility
Description of key information
WS400130 was tested in the rat in a Combined Repeated Dose Oral (Gavage) Toxicity Study with the Reproduction/Developmental Toxicity Screening Test (OECD 422) at dose levels of 0 (vehicle control), 100, 300 and 1000 mg/kg bw/day. The NOEL regarding fertility was set at 1000 mg/kg/day, i.e. the highest dose level applied.
In the sub-chronic oral toxicity study no effects on reproduction organs and tissues were observed up to and including the highest dose of 1000 mg/kg/d.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
Air conditioned room kept at positve pressure without re-circulation of the filtered fresh air supplied to the room.
Controlled environment, environmental conditions were set at:
- Temperature (°C): 21 ± 2°C
- Relative Humidity (%): 40 to 70%
- Photoperiod (artificial lighting): 12 hrs day / 12 hrs night
- Rate of air exchange: At least 15 changes/h
Deviations from the target ranges for temperature and relative humidity were not evident. - Route of administration:
- oral: gavage
- Vehicle:
- propylene glycol
- Details on exposure:
- Treatment of parental animals by oral gavage administration. Test substance was not directly administered to F1 animals.
- Concentration in vehicle: The concentration of the test material in vehicle varied between dose groups thus allowing constant dosage volume in terms of mL/kg bw/day.
- Amount (dose volume by gavage): 5 mL/kg bw/day.
Actual dose volumes were calculated at about weekly or shorter intervals accounting for the latest body weight.
- For concentrations of test material in vehicle at different dose levels, see Table 1 in "Any other information on materials and methods incl. tables"
- Justification for choice of vehicle:
The suitability of propylene glycol as a vehicle was established during the 7-day range-finding study:
Endpoint study record "7.5.1 Repeated dose toxicity: oral - 7d_range-finding_gavage_HLS_GAH0091".
In addition, in the present main study, concentrations of dose formulations were determined by chemical analysis. - Details on mating procedure:
- - Male/female ratio per cage: 1/1
- Length of cohabitation: At the most 14 days, until proof of pregnancy was confirmed.
- Proof of successful mating: Formation of at least one copulation plug and a sperm positive vaginal smear.
The day this was found was referred to as day 0 of gestation.
(During cohabitation, females were checked every morning for pregnancy). - Analytical verification of doses or concentrations:

- Details on analytical verification of doses or concentrations:
- - Chemical analysis of test material formulations by high performance liquid chromatography coupled with a mass spectrometer (HPLC-MS/MS).
- Concentrations (verified at first and last treatment week) of the test material formulations were confirmed at each dose level.
- Chemical analysis confirmed that the mean concentrations of WS400130 in prepared formulations were 93.5% to 99.5% of the corresponding
nominal concentration, thus confirming accuracy of formulation. - Duration of treatment / exposure:
- - Treatment period, males & toxicity phase females: Daily, for five consecutive weeks, in males commencing 14 days prior to mating

actual ingested - No. of animals per sex per dose:
- Toxicity phase animals: */ 5 females
Main phase animals (i.e. reproductive subgroups): 10 males / 10 females
*Explanatory note by the notifier:
Examinations assigned to the toxicity phase females to meet the requirements of a 28-day repeat dose oral toxicity study were also assigned to 5 (for some examinations to 10) main phase males per dose group. Therefore, these 5 main phase males per dose group are called also "toxicity subgroup" in the present robust study summary for clarification. After pairing with main phase females, all males were killed at the same time (Week 6). - Control animals:
- yes, concurrent vehicle
- Details on study design:
- This study was conducted to examine both repeated dose toxicity and reproductive/developmental toxicity as an OECD screening combined study
(OECD 422 test guideline). Therefore, animals initially entering the study were divided into toxicity subgroup animals (toxicity phase) and reproductive subgroup animals (main phase), whereby 5 of the 10 F0 males (used for pairing) per dose group formed the toxicity male subgroups.
Dose selection was based on the results of a 7-day preliminary oral toxicity study in the rat in which dose levels of 100, 300 or 1000 mg/kg/day did not have any overt treatment-related effects on young adult animals (females nulliparous and non-pregnant) necessitating any reduction of target dose levels in the present OECD 422 combined repeat dose toxicity and reprotoxic/develpmental toxicity screening study. - Positive control:
- Not included in the study.
- Parental animals: Observations and examinations:
- Clinical observations performed and frequency:
- Clinical signs : At least twice a day (before and after administration)
- Detailed physical examination
and arena observations: Before treatment start and at least once a treatment week.
- Functional Observation Battery: During treatment week 5 (before dosing) on all toxicity subgroup animals (5 parental males/group inclusively)*.
- Body weight, all males: Weekly throughout the study.
Body weight, Toxicity Females: Weekly throughout the study.
Body weight, Repro. Females: Weekly for pre-pairing period; on gestation days 0, 6, 13, 20; on lactation days 1 & 7.

and are detailed in the separate endpoint study record "7.5.1 Repeated dose toxicity: oral - Repeat dose tox combined_gavage_rat_HLS_GAH0092"
Explanatory note
This study was conducted to examine both repeated dose toxicity and reproductive/developmental toxicity as an OECD screening combined study

Reference
There were no deaths attributable to treatment with the test substance. One female of the low dose group (100 mg/kg/day) was killed on treatment day 6 and one female of the high dose group (1000 mg/kg/day) was killed on gestation day 19. Both animals were in poor health condition resulting from an intubation error. One female of the mid dose group (300 mg/kg/day) and its litter were killed on lactation day 1 for reasons of animal welfare. Its litter comprised of a single female offspring that had a bruised head and no evidence of milk in stomach and therefore low survival prognosis.
Toxicologically relevant clinical signs were not evident. A low incidence of chin rubbing occurring in females at 0 (vehicle control), 100 and 300 mg/kg/day, and a low incidence of salivation in females at 100, 300 and 1000 mg/kg/day may have been related to palatability of the formulations and therefore were considered to be of no toxicological importance.
BODYWEIGHT, WEIGHT GAIN AND FOOD CONSUMPTION
There were no adverse effects on bodyweight, weight gain and food consumption.
REPRODUCTIVE ENDPOINTS
Oestrous cycles, pre-coital interval mating performance, fertility, gestation length, gestation index and litter size were unaffected by treatment.
GROSS PATHOLOGY
Macroscopic findings attributable to treatment with the test material were not evident. The mean numbers of uterine implantation sites in main phase females recorded on lactation day 7 were unaffected by treatment with WS400130.
ORGAN WEIGHTS
Toxicologically significant effects on organ weights were not evident in males and females following 5 treatment weeks or in females on lactation Day 7. In dams of the high dose group, ovary and spleen weights adjusted to terminal bodyweight were statistically significantly higher than concurrent controls. In the absence of consistency of these findings within or between sexes and of macroscopic or microscopic pathology correlates, the changes in organ weight were toxicologically not significant.
HISTOPATHOLOGY
Microscopic pathology findings attributable to treatment with the test material were not evident in main phase males and toxicity subgroup females (nulliparous and non-pregnant) after five weeks of treatment. In addition, evaluation of the spermatogenic tubules regarding their stage in the spermatogenic cycle and regarding the integrity of the various cell types present within the different stages did not reveal any cell or stage abnormalities. Main phase females (reproductive subgroup) killed on lactation day 7 were not histopathologically examined.
One dam of the mid dose group (300 mg/kg/day) and its litter were killed on lactation day 1 for reasons of animal welfare. Its litter comprised of a single female offspring that had a bruised head and no evidence of milk in stomach and therefore low survival prognosis. This isolated litter mortality was not considered to be attributable to treatment with the test material.

- The statistical evaluation of data was performed with the program package SAS v9.2 in case of Provantis v.9, or SPSS PC+4.0 (SPSS Hungary Kft, Budapest) in case of data tabulated in Excel, by an appropriate statistical method.
In case of the SAS v9.2 software package (within the validated Provantis system) the following decision tree was applied automatically for statistical evaluation of numeric data. The normality and heterogeneity of variance between groups were checked by Shapiro-Wilk and Levene tests using the most appropriate data format (logtransformed when justified). Where both tests showed no significant heterogeneity, an Anova / Ancova (one-way analysis of variance) test was carried out. If the obtained result was positive, Dunnett’s (Multiple Range) test was used to assess the significance of inter-group differences; identifying differences of <0.05 or <0.01 as appropriate.
In case of the SPSS PC+4.0 program package, the heterogeneity of variance between groups was checked by Bartlett's test. Where no significant heterogeneity was detected, a one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was carried out. If the obtained result was significant, then Duncan's Multiple Range test was used to assess the significance of inter-group differences. - Indices:
- - Number of corpora lutea: mean ± S.D.
- Number of implantations: mean ± S.D.
- Number and percentage of live foetuses: mean ± S.D.
- Number and percentage of intrauterine mortality: mean ± S.D.
Classified according to time of death: preimplantation loss, postimplantation loss, early and late embryonic loss, as well as foetal death
Foetal Data:
- Sex distribution: %, group mean
- Foetal body weight : mean ± S.D.
- External abnormalities/litter: %, group mean
- Visceral abnormalities/litter: %, group mean
- Skeletal abnormalities/litter: %, group mean - Clinical signs:
- no effects observed
- Mortality:
- no mortality observed
- Body weight and weight changes:
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- A minor, but statistically significant (p<0.01) difference was noted in the body weight gain of the High dose group in GD 8-10 period when compared to the control, in the period GD 6-8 a similar low weight gain was observed, but was not statistically significant. From GD 10 the weight gain for this group was comparable with controls. This was a minor, transient effect with little or no consequences on the overall body weight values. It is not unusual to have such transient effects in the first few days of treatment, with full recovery after animals acclimatise to the test item. There was no effect on weight gain for the Mid or Low dose groups. The difference at the high dose was so small and transient, with no consequences on the overall body weight, and no statistical difference on the overall weight gain, that the small change is not considered as a clear adverse effect.
see Table 2 in the attachments - Food consumption and compound intake (if feeding study):
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- Reduced daily food consumption was recorded for the High dose group at the beginning of the treatment (by 9% in the GD 6-8 period and by 13% in the GD 8-10 period. This transient difference was statistically significant at p<0.01) when compared to the control values (smaller changes without statistical significance were also recorded in the Mid dose group). The minor, transient difference at the high dose corresponds to the body weight gain data. The overall mean daily food consumption values in the treatment period or entire study did not differ more the 6% from the control values in any test item treated groups and there was no dose response in any case. Similar trends were seen in the total food consumption and food utilization parameters. Overall, no test item related effect on the food consumption was observed in the Mid or Low dose groups; a minor, transient reduced food intake in the High dose group was seen. The effect at the High dose was so small and transient with no significant on the overall study food intake that the difference is not considered to be adverse.

Justification for classification or non-classification
There were no findings or adverse effects in the Combined Repeated Dose Oral (Gavage) Toxicity Study with the Reproduction/Developmental Toxicity Screening Test (OECD 422) regarding reproductive or developmental toxicity.
In a 90-day oral toxicity study in rats (OECD 408) the NOAEL was derived at 1000 mg/kg/d; no effects were observed in reproduction organs and tissues.
In a prenatal development toxicity study (OECD 414) no effects on foetuses was observed up to and including the highest dose level of 1000 mg(/kg/d.
Based on absence of adverse effects on reproduction and development WS400130 does not need to be classified according to European classification rules [REGULATION (EC) 1272/2008].
