- rat
- Strain:
- other: CRL:WI (Han)
- Sex:
- male/female
- Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
- TEST ANIMALS
- Source: Charles River UK, Margate, Kent, UK
- Age at study initiation: 11 to 12 weeks
- Weight at study initiation: 249 - 392 g (males); 174 - 247 g (females)
- Housing: Animals were initially housed 2 or 3 per cage by sex (unless reduced by mortality) in appropriately sized suspended polycarbonate cages with stainless steel grid tops and solid bottoms. Bedding material was sterilised white wood shavings. A few days prior to mating, males were transferred to individual cages with solid bottoms. Mated females were transferred to individual solid bottomed cages. White paper tissue was supplied as nesting material from Gestation Day (GD) 20. Females with litters were retained in this type of cage until termination. After mating, the males were re-housed with their original cages mates.
- Diet: SDS VRF-1 breeder diet, ad libitum (except during designated procedures)
- Water: tap water, ad libitum
- Acclimation period: 5 weeks
ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature: 18 to 26°C (actual range)
- Humidity (%): 28 to 89% (actual range)
- Air changes: Ten or greater air changes per hour
- Photoperiod: 12-hour light/12-hour dark cycle
IN-LIFE DATES: From: 22 July 2019 To: 29 September 2019
Deviations: The protocol stated that the target environmental conditions would be 19 to 23°C for temperature and 40 to 70% for humidity. The actual ranges were 18 to 26°C and 28 to 90%, respectively. Animal welfare checks (morning and afternoon) were performed on all the study animals during these dates and all animals appeared unaffected from the transient change in environmental conditions. Therefore, this deviation had no impact on the outcome of the study.
Administration / exposure
- Route of administration:
- oral: gavage
- Details on route of administration:
- The oral route of administration was selected for this study as this route has been defined by the Sponsor as a possible route of human exposure. Doses were administered using plastic tube.

- yes
- Details on analytical verification of doses or concentrations:
- Analyses were performed by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-ultra violet (UPLC-UV) using a validated analytical procedure (study 20190830).
Duplicate top, middle and bottom (middle only for control) samples for each sampling time point were sent to the analytical laboratory. Triplicate top, middle and bottom (middle only for control) samples were collected for each sampling occasion as backup. Week 2 and 5 backup samples were shipped to the analytical laboratory for analysis and Week 1 back up samples were retained at the Test Facility. Sample volumes were 1 mL for Day 1 and Week 5 collections and 0.5 mL for Week 2 collections. Concentration results were considered acceptable if sample concentration results were within or equal to ±10% of theoretical concentration. Each individual sample concentration result was considered acceptable if it was within or equal to ± 15%. Homogeneity results were considered acceptable if the relative standard deviation (RSD) of the mean value at each sampling location was ≤ 5%. - Duration of treatment / exposure:
- The males were dosed for at least 4 weeks overall, starting from 2 weeks prior to mating. The females were dosed from 2 weeks prior to mating, then continuing until the day prior to termination.

Results and discussion
Results of examinations
- Mortality:
- mortality observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence):
- Two control females were euthanised unscheduled on Gestation Day 11 (Day 27 of the study) due to clinical signs of decreased muscle tone in both forelimbs and swollen abdomen resulting in an abnormal gait. One animal was also noted to have increased vocalisation. There appeared to be no effects on body weights or food consumption. In one animal, dark red discoloration of the thymus was observed during gross necropsy examination. This finding correlated microscopically with agonal haemorrhage. Moderate axonal degeneration was also noted microscopically in the lumbar spinal nerves attached to the lumbar spinal cord segment and this was associated with mild, regionally extensive myofiber atrophy and replacement by adipose tissue in skeletal muscle from the hindlimb. In the second control animal that was euthanised there were no gross necropsy findings, however, mild axonal degeneration was also noted microscopically in the lumbar spinal nerves accompanied by mild, regionally extensive hindlimb skeletal muscle myofiber atrophy and replacement by adipose tissue, similar to that seen in the first control animals that was euthanised. Although lumbar spinal nerve degeneration and secondary skeletal muscle myofiber atrophy would be expected to be associated with clinical signs in the hindlimbs (e.g. abnormal gait and decreased muscle tone), given the nature of these microscopic changes it is considered likely that this may be indicative of a more generalised/multifocal condition which could account for the gait/forelimb changes described clinically in these animals. Irrespective, as both animals were in Group 1 (Control) and had not received any test item, these findings cannot be associated with the treatment.
- Body weight and weight changes:
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- There were minor changes that occasionally achieved statistical significance such as Day 8 to 15, Group 4 males at 1000 mg/kg bw/day body weight gain was noted to be 48% lower in comparison to the Control male group with an overall 18% lower body weight gain from Day 1 to 42. In addition, on Day 15 to 22 Group 2 males at 100 mg/kg bw/day body weight gain was 62% lower in comparison to the Control male group. However, due to the low incidence and lack of a dose related pattern, these findings were considered sporadic and unrelated to treatment.
- Haematological findings:
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- There were minor changes that achieved statistical significance however, noted changes were considered to be within normal biological variation and/or due to a small magnitude of difference. They were therefore considered incidental and unrelated to treatment.
- Clinical biochemistry findings:
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- There were minor changes that were considered to be within normal biological variation and/or due to a small magnitude of difference. They were therefore considered incidental and unrelated to treatment.
- Behaviour (functional findings):
- no effects observed
- Organ weight findings including organ / body weight ratios:
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- Compared to controls, absolute and relative (to both body weight and brain weight) thymus weights were slightly lower in Group 2, 3 and 4 females (although these differences were not statistically significant). In two animals of group 4 this correlated microscopically with minimal decreased cellularity in the cortex. However, this microscopic finding was also present in one control animal, with an individual absolute thymus weight lower than that of one group 4 animal. Absolute thymus weights were also slightly lower in Group 2, 3 and 4 males but again the difference was not statistically significant and there was no microscopic correlate. As these differences were small, not statistically significant and lacked any compatible gross finding (e.g. small thymus) and given that a correlating microscopic finding occurred in only one sex (females) and was also present in a control animal, they were considered not to be related to the treatment and were considered
most likely to be a spontaneous occurrence or related to pregnancy/lactation. At least in males, the lower absolute thymus weights were considered most likely to be a reflection of the lower terminal body weights in these groups. There were individual organ weight values that were different from their respective controls. There were, however, no patterns or correlating data to suggest these values were related to treatment. - Gross pathological findings:
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- All gross findings observed were considered incidental, of the nature commonly observed in this strain and age of rat or occurred at a similar incidence in control and treated animals, and therefore, were considered not to be related to treatment.
- Neuropathological findings:
- no effects observed
- Other effects:
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- At dose levels up to and including 1000 mg/kg bw/day, there were no treatment related changes in the mating performance and in the duration or pattern of the oestrus cycle.
At dose levels up to and including 1000 mg/kg bw/day, there were no treatment related changes in the thyroid hormone parameters noted in the F0 animals.

Dose Formulation Analyses
No test item was detected in the Group 1 control samples.
Formulation analysis demonstrated that Week 1 samples did not meet the specified acceptance criteria. Out of specification investigation concluded that samples were out of specification due to being unprotected from light. As a result, an additional sampling occasion was performed (Week 2) on samples protected from light.
Formulation analysis demonstrated that the Week 2 and 5 prepared formulation samples were accurate and homogenous. Initial analysis of Group 2 and Group 3 samples failed to meet the criterion, therefore back up samples were analysed and were within the specified acceptance criteria:
- Mean sample concentration results within or equal to ± 10% of theoretical concentration (week 2: 91-98%; week 5: 88-95%)
- Each individual sample concentration result within or equal to ± 15% (week 2: 88-106%; week 5: 85-96%)
- A relative standard deviation (RSD) of concentrations of ≤ 5% for each group (week 2: 1.0-4.2; week 5: 1.5-2.1).
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- A combined repeated dose toxicity study with reproduction/developtmental toxicity screening test was performed according to OECD 422 and in accordance with GLP principles. Administration of Diazo PW 980 by once daily oral gavage was well tolerated in rats at levels of 1000 mg/kg bw/day without in-life observations of toxicity or histopathological findings in the F0 or F1 generation. There was no evidence of test item related changes to the mating and fertility, maternal behaviour or pre-weaning viability. Mean litter weights and pre-weaning physical development were similar in all dose groups. Based on these results, the no-observed-effect level (NOEL) of parental, reproduction (up to and including implantation) and developmental (from implantation onwards) was considered to be 1000 mg/kg bw/day.
