Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
No Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) was considered to be 10mg/kg/day and LOAEL was considered to be 50 mg/kg bw .When female Sprague Dawley rats were treated with 4,4'-[(4-imino-3-methylcyclohexa-2,5-dien-1-ylidene)methylene]bis(2-methylaniline) hydrochloride(3248-91-7) orally.
Executive summary:

Prenatal development toxicity study of  with4,4'-[(4-imino-3-methylcyclohexa-2,5-dien-1-ylidene)methylene]bis(2-methylaniline) hydrochloride(3248-91-7)was performed on female Sprague Dawley  Hsd: SD strainrats. 72 rats were divided as 24 rats /dose group. The test materialdissolved in water were administers in dose concentration 0, 5, 10and 50 mg/kg bw/day from day 6 through day 15of gestationby oral gavage route. Animals were observed for clinical signs, Food consumption and body weight .On day 20 post-coitum, the dams were sacrificed and subjected to a macroscopic examination. The litter parameters like number of implantation sites. The foetuses were weighed and subjected to external, soft tissue or skeletal examinations.Clinical sings like violet coloured faeces in 10mg/kg bw/day and 50mg/kg bw/day dose groups while dyspnoea in 50mg/kg bw/day group were observed.Body weightreduced in 50mg/kg bw/day group from day 8 and reductionin food consumptionwas observed during treatment. At necropsy final body weight, uterus weight and corrected body weight were decreased in 50mg/kg bw/day dose group in dams were noted. In litter the number of implantations was decreased in 50mg/kg bw/day dose group and foetal weight decrease in 50mg/kg bw/day dose group but no treatment related effects were observed in Foetal visceral and skeletal examination at any dose group. Hence No Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) was considered to be 10mg/kg/day and LOAEL was considered to be 50mg/kg bw.When female Sprague Dawley rats were treated with 4,4'-[(4-imino-3-methylcyclohexa-2,5-dien-1-ylidene)methylene]bis(2-methylaniline) hydrochloride(3248-91-7) orally.
