Clinical examinations of the dams:
Only pregnant dams were used for the study. Therefore, the following females were excluded:
- Test group 0 (0 mg/kg bw/day): one female – not pregnant
- Test group 3 (1000 mg/kg bw/day): one female – not pregnant
Mortality:
There were no substance-related or spontaneous mortalities in any females of all test groups.
Clinical symptoms:
No clinical signs or changes of general behavior, which may be attributed to the test sub-stance, were detected in any female at dose levels of 100, 300 or 1000 mg/kg bw/day during the entire study period.
One low-dose (100 mg/kg bw/day), three mid-dose (300 mg/kg bw/day) as well as one high-dose animal (1000 mg/kg bw/day) occasionally showed vaginal hemorrhage either before daily dermal application or after the daily 6-hour exposure time. This finding was observed in these individuals on GD 15-17 only, and is most likely related to handling and semiocclusive dressing, but not to the test substance itself. The assessment was also supported by the fact that no impairment of reproduction parameters became obvious.
Skin examination:
The treated skin of all female animals of all test groups was free from any notable findings during the entire study period.
Food consumption:
The mean food consumption of the dams in all test groups was comparable to the concurrent control throughout the entire study period.
Body weight data:
The mean body weights and the average body weight gains of all test substance-treated dams in test groups 1-3 were comparable to the controls throughout the entire study period. However, on GD 6-8, the mean body weight gain value of the high-dose dams (1000 mg/kg bw/day) was significantly lower (-37%), but recovered afterwards and was comparable throughout the remaining treatment period.
Corrected (net) body weight gain:
The corrected body weight gain of animals in all test groups was not influenced by treatment. The differences between these groups and the control group revealed no dose-dependency and were assessed to be without biological relevance.
Uterus weight:
The mean gravid uterus weights of the animals of the test groups were not influenced by the test substance. The differences between these groups and the control group revealed no dose-dependency and were assessed to be without biological relevance.
Necropsy findings:
No necropsy findings which could be attributed to the test substance were seen in any dam.
Reproduction data:
The conception rate was 96% in controls and in 1000 mg/kg bw/day animals, and 100% in test groups 100 and 300 mg/kg bw/day.
No test substance-related and/or biologically relevant differences between controls and the test groups were observed with regard to conception rate, mean number of corpora lutea and implantation sites or values calculated for the pre- and the postimplantation losses, the number of resorptions as well as viable fetuses. All observed differences were considered to reflect the normal range of fluctuations for animals of this strain and age. This includes the apparently lower mean number of viable female fetuses at 300 mg/kg bw/day.

Details on embryotoxic / teratogenic effects:
Sex distribution of the fetuses:
The sex distribution of the fetuses in the test groups was comparable to the control fetuses. The significantly lower mean number of viable female fetuses at 300 mg/kg bw/d was considered to be incidental and without any toxicological relevance.
Weight of the placentae:
The mean placental weights of the test groups were comparable to the corresponding control group.
Weight of the fetuses:
The mean fetal weights were comparable between the control and the test groups. Biologically relevant differences were not observed. The significantly lower mean weight of female fetuses in test group 100 mg/kg bw/d did not show a dose-response relationship and was clearly within the historical control data.
Fetal external malformations:
No external malformations were recorded.
Fetal external variations:
One external variation, i.e. limb hyperextension, was detected for one high-dose fetus (1000 mg/kg bw/d). This single finding was considered to be spontaneous in nature.
Fetal external unclassified observations:
No unclassified external observations were recorded.
Fetal soft tissue malformations:
No soft tissue malformations were recorded.
Fetal soft tissue variations:
Two soft tissue variations were detected, i.e. large liver lobe and dilated renal pelvis. The incidences of these variations were neither significantly nor dose-dependently increased. Therefore, all differences were not considered biologically relevant.
Fetal soft tissue unclassified observations:
No unclassified soft tissue observations were recorded.
Fetal skeletal malformations:
One skeletal malformation was detected in the high dose group (1000 mg/kg bw/day) affecting the fore-limb. This single finding can be found in the historical control data in a comparable frequency. An association to the treatment was not assumed.
Fetal skeletal variations:
For all test groups, skeletal variations of different bone structures were observed, with or without effects on corresponding cartilages. The observed skeletal variations were related to several parts of fetal skeleton and appeared without a relation to dosing. The overall incidences of skeletal variations were comparable to the historical control data.
The increased incidence of the skeletal variation “wavy rib” was only marginally above the historical control data. Therefore, the finding was regarded to be incidental and not related to treatment.
Fetal skeletal unclassified cartilage observations
Some isolated cartilage findings without impact on the respective bony structures, which were designated as unclassified cartilage observations, occurred in all test groups. The observed unclassified cartilage findings were related to the skull, the sternum and ribs. They did not show any relation to treatment.

Based on the analytical results it is concluded, that Pyranol is stable in corn oil over a period of 8 days at ambient temperature. The determined concentrations were in the range of 90 % - 110 % of the nominal concentration: between 98.7 and 100.5%.
The values of Pyranol in corn oil were found to be in the range of 90 % – 110 % of the nominal concentration (96.8-103.0%)
No test substance could be detected in the vehicle control sample with a concentration of ≥ 30 % of the lowest calibration solution.
These results demonstrated the correctness of the concentrations of Pyranol in corn oil.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Dermal application of Pyranol to pregnant Wistar rats from implantation to one day prior to the expected day of parturition (GD 6-19) at a dose level of 1000 mg/kg bw/day did not cause any evidence of maternal toxicity or prenatal developmental toxicity.
Based on the absence of substance- related adverse effects, the no observed adverse effect level (NOAEL) for maternal toxicity and for prenatal developmental toxicity was 1000 mg/kg bw/day, the highest tested dose.
In addition, as no local effects were observed , the NOAEL for local dermal effects in this study is 1000 mg/kg bw/day, the highest dose tested. - Executive summary:
In a prenatal developmental toxicity study the test substance Pyranol was applied dermally (6 hours/day) to pregnant Wistar rats from implantation to one day prior to the expected day of parturition (GD 6-19) for the evaluation of its potential maternal and prenatal developmental toxicity (according to OECD 414). With regard to clinical examinations, no signs of general systemic toxicity including food consumption and body weight gain were observed. No toxicologically relevant differences between the animals receiving the test substance and control animals were observed. No differences of toxicological relevance between the control and the treated groups (100, 300 or 1000 mg/kg bw/day) were determined for any reproductive parameters, such as conception rate, mean number of corpora lutea, mean number of implantations, as well as pre- and postimplantation loss. Similarly, no influence of the test substance on fetal weight and sex distribution of the fetuses was noted at any dose level. Overall, there was no evidence for toxicologically relevant, adverse effects of the test substance on fetal morphology at any dose level.
Based on the absence of substance- related adverse effects, the no observed adverse effect level (NOAEL) for maternal toxicity and for prenatal developmental toxicity was 1000 mg/kg bw/day, the highest tested dose.
In addition, as no local effects were observed , the NOAEL for local dermal effects in this study is 1000 mg/kg bw/day, the highest dose tested.
