Details on study design:
- Dose selection rationale: As a dose setting test, the test substance was repeatedly administered orally at doses of 0, 100, 300, and 1000 mg / kg for 14 days to 5 rats of each group. Weight and food consumption measurements, hematology and blood biochemical examination, necropsy and measurement of organ weights were carried out. As results, toxic effects due to administration were not observed. Therefore, the dose in this study was 1000 mg / kg / day as the highest dose, then 3 doses of 300 and 100 mg / kg / day.
- Post-exposure recovery period: was set in 14 days.

- Battery of functions tested: sensory activity / grip strength / motor activity / other: the landing foot width, grip strength of forelimb and hindlimb, spontaneous momentum ( males for 30 minutes and 60 minutes, females for 30 minutes). Spontaneous momentum of female of satellite group was also measured for 60 minutes.

Sacrifice and pathology:
pathological examination:
Male planned slaughtered animals were delivered the next day on the 42nd day of administration, cases where the female was delivered well and the nursing was also smooth on the 5th day of the nursing, the case where the mating was not established was 24 days after the mating period.
Blood was sacrificed under anesthesia, and the body surface, opening mucosa and internal organs were observed macroscopically. In addition, the liver, kidney, adrenal gland, thymus, spleen, brain, heart were observed.
The experiment was conducted on these preserved organs. All the cases were examined for macroscopic abnormalities in each group. In the examination, paraffin sections were prepared according to a conventional method and subjected to microscopic examination with HE staining.
Formation cycle tests (stages II · III, V, VII and XII) were also performed.
Statistics:
Regarding the average value or frequency obtained, a significant difference (a risk ratio of 5% or less) from the control group was confirmed for quantitative data and parametric data when the test group had three or more groups , Bartlett's variance test was carried out, and if the variance was uniform, a one-way analysis of variance was performed. If the variance is not uniform and nonparametric data, We ranked Kruskal-Wallis's ranking. When significant differences were found as a result of these results, multiple comparisons were carried out by the Dunnett or Dunnett type test method. The test group consisted of 2 groups In case of parametric data, F test is carried out, and if the variance is uniform as a result, Student's t test is made, and if the variance is not uniform, Aspin-Welch's t test went. Also, nonparametric data was Mann - Whitney 's U test. Categorical data was tested using Fisher's direct stochastic method.

Details on results:
In the hematological examination, a significant low value of activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) was observed in males of 100 mg / kg group and 300 mg / kg group, but in the background data The change in the normal range (17.1 to 25.0 sec), dose correlation was not observed. In the blood biochemical tests, females of 300 mg / kg group and 1000 mg / kg group received inorganic phosphorus , But this also changed in the normal range (6.6 to 9.6 mg / dL), no other related changes were observed, and dose correlation was not clear either. Therefore, changes in these hematology tests and blood biochemical tests were judged as findings unrelated to administration of the test substance. In the organ weight, 100 mg / kg
In the group, there was a significant low value of only the absolute weight of the seminal vesicle in males, a significant low value only in the relative weight of the spleen in females, but neither dose correlated only change , And since histological examination also showed no change in these organs, it was considered as a finding unrelated to administration of the test substance. In histopathological examination, No change due to the administration of the test substance was observed in any of the organs. Regarding fibroadenoma of the mammary gland observed in one female of the 300 mg / kg group, in female rats Benign tumors 2, 3, 4 with relatively high incidence of expression, and it is judged to be spontaneous. On the other hand, in the satellite group, males had lower values of pituitary relative weight, females had thyroid The low value of the relative gland weight and the high value of the locomotor activity and cholinesterase were observed. However, during the period of administration and at the end of the administration period, Since neither change tendency is observed nor any of them is a mild change, it does not suggest a delayed toxic effect, and they are also unrelated to administration.
