Description (incidence and severity):
Effects on the foetus were confined to an increase in numbers of litters with the skeletal variant 'malaligned sternebrae' which occured at 200 mg/kg/day only and a slight decrease in foetal weight at 1000 mg/kg/day which was within the historical control range. As an increased incidence of 'malaligned sternebrae' was not observed at 1000 mg/kg/day the observation at 200 mg/kg/day was considered incidental.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The no observed adverse effect level (NOAEL) was considered to be 1000mg/kg bw/day for reproductive and developmental toxicity .When female rats were treated with test material by orally during gestation days 6-15.
Executive summary:

The reproductive and developmental toxicity study of test material was performed in female COBS CD rats. The test material was dissolved in corn oil and administered in dose concentration 0,200,1000mg/kg bw by oral gavage route from days 6-15 of gestation. 25 females /dose group were used in study. All the animals were observed forClinical signs, body weight and food consumoption.The dams were sacrificed and sectioned on gestation day 20. Intrauterine survival, foetal weight and external, skeletal and visceral anomalies were recorded. In dams clinical signs of intoxication were observed also reduced body weight was observed at 1000mg/kg bw dose group. Effects on the foetus were confined to an increase in numbers of litters with the skeletal variant 'malaligned sternebrae' which occurred at 200 mg/kg/day only and a slight decrease in foetal weight at 1000 mg/kg/day which was within the historical control range. As an increased incidence of 'malaligned sternebrae' was not observed at 1000 mg/kg/day the observation at 200 mg/kg/day was considered incidental. Hence the no observed adverse effect level (NOAEL) was considered to be 1000mg/kg bw/day for reproductive and developmental toxicity .When female rats were treated with test material by orally during gestation days 6-15.
