- Executive summary:
Developmental study was initiated to study the toxicity of test material . In this study, Crl:CD® (SD) IGS BR VAF®/Plus male and female rats were mated for 5 days and the presence of spermatozoa and/or a copulatory plug in situ was designated as gestational day 0 (GD 0). The test material in a corn oil vehicle was administered orally via gavage to four groups of presumed pregnant rats on GDs 7 to 17 at dosages of 0, 3, 10, or 30 mg/kg/day. No effects were observed on survival, body weight and body weight gain and food consumption of treated female rats as compared to control. Chromorhinorrhea, excess salivation, sparse hair coat, localized alopecia, urine-stained abdominal fur, soft or liquid feces, or decreased activities were observed in a few animals from each group of rats. None of these clinical signs were attributed to treatment because the number of affected rats was not dosage related and did not significantly differ between control and treated groups. Similarly, No significant effect were observed on corpora lutea, implantations, litter sizes, live fetuses, resorptions, percentage of dead or resorbed conceptuses and percentage of live male fetuses and no alterations were observed on litters with fetuses and % fetuses/litter in treated female rats as compared to control. In addition, no effects were observed on number of live fetuses, fetus weight and on gross external fetal alterations in treated rats as compared to control. Limited to infrequent incidences of skeletal variations as delayed ossification at various bone ossification centers (non–dose dependent) and the presence of cervical ribs at the 7thcervical vertebra in four foetuses were observed in 30 mg/kg/day and in control. Folded retinas in seven foetuses and aberrant umbilical artery in two fetuses at 10 mg/kg/day and Slight dilation of the renal pelvis in one fetus at 3 mg/kg/day was observed. All fetal gross external, soft tissue, or skeletal alterations (malformations or variations) were considered unrelated to treatment because (1) neither the fetal nor litter incidences were dosage dependent; (2) the incidences did not significantly differ from the control group values; and/or (3) the incidences were within the ranges observed historically at the Testing Facility. Therefore, the no observed adverse effect level (NOAEL) was considered to be 30 mg/kg/day for F0 and F1 generation when Crl: CD® (SD) IGS BR VAF®/Plus female rats were treated with test material orally by gavage for 11 days.

- Details on study design:
- 2. - Dose selection rationale: Dosages were selected on the basis of range-finding study. dosages of 0, 1.25, 2.5, 5, or 10 mg/kg/day were administered daily to 8 rats/group on GDs 7 to 17. No adverse test chemical related clinical signs and food consumption observed. During the post dosage period, the body weight gains remained increased. All rats were pregnant and all caesarean sectioning and litter observations were comparable among the five groups. No fetal gross external alterations were observed. Based on these data, a dosage greater than 10 mg/kg/day AIM was recommended for the definitive developmental toxicity study in rats.
- Rationale for animal assignment (if not random): The healthy, mated female rats, weighing 213 to 241 g, were assigned to four dosage groups, 25 rats/group, using a computer-generated (weight-ordered) randomization procedure based on body weights recorded on initiation of study.
- Rationale for selecting satellite groups:No data avaiable
- Post-exposure recovery period in satellite groups: No data avaiable
- Section schedule rationale (if not random):No data avaiable

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- The no observed adverse effect level (NOAEL) was considered to be 30 mg/kg/day for F0 and F1 generation when rats were treated with test chemical by gavage route of exposure.
- Executive summary:
Data available for various test chemicals was reviewed to determine the developmental toxic nature of the test chemical. The studies are as mentioned below:
Developmental study was initiated to study the toxicity of test material . In this study, Crl:CD® (SD) IGS BR VAF®/Plus male and female rats were mated for 5 days and the presence of spermatozoa and/or a copulatory plug in situ was designated as gestational day 0 (GD 0). The test material in a corn oil vehicle was administered orally via gavage to four groups of presumed pregnant rats on GDs 7 to 17 at dosages of 0, 3, 10, or 30 mg/kg/day. No effects were observed on survival, body weight and body weight gain and food consumption of treated female rats as compared to control. Chromorhinorrhea, excess salivation, sparse hair coat, localized alopecia, urine-stained abdominal fur, soft or liquid feces, or decreased activities were observed in a few animals from each group of rats. None of these clinical signs were attributed to treatment because the number of affected rats was not dosage related and did not significantly differ between control and treated groups. Similarly, No significant effect were observed on corpora lutea, implantations, litter sizes, live fetuses, resorptions, percentage of dead or resorbed conceptuses and percentage of live male fetuses and no alterations were observed on litters with fetuses and % fetuses/litter in treated female rats as compared to control. In addition, no effects were observed on number of live fetuses, fetus weight and on gross external fetal alterations in treated rats as compared to control. Limited to infrequent incidences of skeletal variations as delayed ossification at various bone ossification centers (non–dose dependent) and the presence of cervical ribs at the 7thcervical vertebra in four foetuses were observed in 30 mg/kg/day and in control. Folded retinas in seven foetuses and aberrant umbilical artery in two fetuses at 10 mg/kg/day and Slight dilation of the renal pelvis in one fetus at 3 mg/kg/day was observed. All fetal gross external, soft tissue, or skeletal alterations (malformations or variations) were considered unrelated to treatment because (1) neither the fetal nor litter incidences were dosage dependent; (2) the incidences did not significantly differ from the control group values; and/or (3) the incidences were within the ranges observed historically at the Testing Facility. Therefore, the no observed adverse effect level (NOAEL) was considered to be 30 mg/kg/day for F0 and F1 generation when Crl: CD® (SD) IGS BR VAF®/Plus female rats were treated with test material orally by gavage for 11 days.
In another teratogenicity study, Wistar female rats were treated with test material in the concentration of 250,500, 750 and 1000 mg/kg body weight orally by gavage in corn oil at day 11 of pregnancy.No overt signs of maternal toxicity and effect on body weight gain were observed in treated rats as compared to control. Substantially increased in ratio of resorptions per implantations, and the percentage of resorptions per implantations per litter, while the ratio of live fetuses per implantations per litter was drastically decreased at 1000 mg/kg bw in treated rats as compared to control. Similarly, Decreased in gravid uterus weight were observed in dams treated with 1000 mg/kg/day. In addition, no significant effect on externally visible anomaly and skull defects were observed in fetuses of treated rats as compared to control. Therefore, the no observed adverse effect level (NOAEL) was considered to be 750 mg/kg bw for P generation and 1000 mg/kg bw for F1 generation when Wistar female rats were treated with test material once orally by gavage in corn oil at day 11 of pregnancy.
Based on the details of the study, the no observed adverse effect level (NOAEL) was considered to be 30 mg/kg/day for F0 and F1 generation when rats were treated with test chemical by gavage route of exposure.
