Administration / exposure
- Route of administration:
- oral: gavage
- Vehicle:
- corn oil
- Details on oral exposure:
- PREPARATION OF DOSING SOLUTIONS: The stock solution was prepared by weighing the necessary amount of test item in an appropriate
container or into a volumetric flask and slowly adding the vehicle while mixing. Then the
formulation was transferred into a volumetric flask and the initial container rinsed with the
vehicle, when applied.
VEHICLE

- Concentration in vehicle:
- Amount of vehicle (if gavage):
- Lot/batch no. (if required):
- Purity: - Analytical verification of doses or concentrations:
- yes
- Details on analytical verification of doses or concentrations:
- In order to prepare the formulations, a stock solution was prepared and used to take the volume required for each day of administration into aliquots. In the case that the formulation was prepared for only one administration day, the same procedure was followed for the preparation of the stock solution.
The stock solution was prepared by weighing the necessary amount of test item in an appropriate container or into a volumetric flask and slowly adding the vehicle while mixing. Then the formulation was transferred into a volumetric flask and the initial container rinsed with the vehicle, when applied.
Vehicle was added to top up the volumetric flask after which the formulation was transferred into an appropriate container. If there was any vehicle left, it was used to take any formulation remaining on the walls of the volumetric flask and to obtain the final volume.
For each day of administration, the necessary volume was taken from the stock solution into appropriate containers. The aliquots were stored at room temperature (20 ± 5 ºC) protected from light.
The concentration of dose formulation was determined in samples taken from the formulation to be administered to Groups 1 to 4 at the start and end of treatment on.
2-phenoxyethyl acrylate was used as analytical standard. Formulations were analyzed using an analytical method previously validated in-study in Study
S39286 and according to SOP BA/ML/0084.
The results obtained showed that mean test item concentrations found in the formulations analyzed ranged from 99.7% to 105.3% and was therefore within the acceptance range of 85-115% and that precision was below 3.28 %. - Duration of treatment / exposure:
- Males: two weeks prior mating and at up to and including the day before sacrifice (minimum a total of 43 days).
Females: two weeks prior mating and at least up to and including the day before sacrifice (day 4 postpartum). - Frequency of treatment:
- Once daily

DETAILED CLINICAL OBSERVATIONS: Yes
- Time schedule: Detailed clinical observations were performed on all test and control group animals before the first exposure to the test item and once weekly thereafter, at least two hours after dosing. Observations were also performed on females with litters on Day 4 postpartum. These observations were performed outside the home cage, in a standard arena, at least two hours after dosing (where applicable) to ensure that any transient effects of treatment are identified. All observations were recorded.
BODY WEIGHT: Yes
- Time schedule for examinations: F0 males: twice weekly during the pre-pairing and pairing period and daily during postpairing period. F0 females: twice weekly during the pre-pairing and pairing period and daily until day 5 postpartum.
FOOD CONSUMPTION AND COMPOUND INTAKE:
- F0 males: once weekly during the pre-pairing period and during the two weeks of the postpairing period. F0 females: once weekly during the pre-pairing period and on days 0-7, 7-14, 14-21 postcoitum and days 1-4 postpartum.
No food consumption was examined during the mating period.
WATER CONSUMPTION AND COMPOUND INTAKE: Yes
- Time schedule for examinations: F0 males: during the pre-pairing period and during the two weeks of the postpairing period. F0 females: during the pre-pairing period, pregnancy and days 1-4 postpartum.
No water consumption was examined during the mating period.
Clinical Laboratory Investigations:
Blood samples were drawn from the retro-orbital plexus of five animals/sex/group under light isoflurane anesthesia. The animals were fasted before blood sampling but allowed access to water ad libitum. The samples were collected early in the working day to reduce biological variation caused by circadian rhythms. Blood Sampling was perfomed for males ( at least on day 44 (day of sacrifice)) and females (on day 5 postpartum). Haematology, coagulation and clinical biochemistry investigations was perfomed. Further, urinanalysis was performed.
Functional Performance Tests: Grip strength (fore- and hind limbs) and motor activity were measured in five randomly selected males per group once during the final week of treatment and at least two hours after dosing. Five randomly selected females per group were similarly evaluated on day 4 postpartum.
Sensory Reactivity Assessment: Sensory reactivity to different stimuli (e.g. auditory, visual and proprioceptive) was evaluated in the animals mentioned above. - Sacrifice and pathology:
- Sacrifice of F0 Females
On day 5 postpartum, all females were deeply anaesthetized with sodium pentobarbital
administered intraperitoneally, exsanguinated and necropsied. The mated females that did not
give birth or show signs of pregnancy were sacrificed after 24-26 days postcoitum if no repeat
mating was done.
Sacrifice of F0 Males
At least on day 44 of the study all males were deeply anaesthetized with sodium pentobarbital
administered intraperitoneally, exsanguinated and necropsied.
Sacrifice of F1 Generation
On day 4 postpartum, all pups were sacrificed by an intraperitoneal injection of sodium
pentobarbital and subjected to macroscopic examination.
F1 offspring that died during the study was examined externally. Necropsy and a macroscopic
examination were carried out for all the other animals. - Other examinations:
- Organ Weights
The following organs were weighed on the day of necropsy and their organ to terminal body weight ratios and organ to brain weight ratios were determined:
Adrenals, Kidneys, Prostate and seminal vesicles; Thyroid and parathyroids; Brain, Liver, Spleen, Uterus and oviducts; Epididymides, Ovaries; Testes,Heart;Pituitary, Thymus.
Paired organs were weighed together.
Macroscopic examination
The necropsy included the examination of the external surface of the body, all orifices, cranial,
thoracic and abdominal cavities and the observation of the organs both in situ and after
evisceration.
Samples of the following tissues and organs were collected from all animals at necropsy and
fixed in neutral phosphate buffered 4% formaldehyde solution (10% formalin) unless otherwise
indicated.

Histotechnique
All organ and tissue samples, except for the nose, to be examined by the study pathologist (see
Histopathology, below) were processed, embedded and cut at an approximate thickness of
2-4 micrometers and stained with hematoxylin and eosin.
The bone marrow smears were stained using the May Grünwald-Giemsa method.
Histopathology
Slides of all organs and tissues collected at necropsy from five males
and five females from groups 1 and 4 selected for clinical pathology, as well as all gross lesions,
were examined. Reproductive organs (tissues shown in bold) from all control and high dose
animals were examined for histopathology.
Because test-item-related morphological changes were detected in stomach and liver at high dose,
these organs of all remaining animals (including group 2 and 3) were examined. A description of
all abnormalities was included in the report. Where possible, the microscopic findings were
correlated with the gross observations. - Statistics:
- The following statistical methods were used to analyze food consumption, body weight, clinical laboratory data, organ weights and ratios as well as macroscopic findings:
- The Dunnett-test (many to one t-test) based on a pooled variance estimate was applied
if the variables can be assumed to follow a normal distribution for the comparison of the
treated groups and the control groups for each sex.
- The Steel-test (many-one rank test) was applied instead of the Dunnett-test when the
data cannot be assumed to follow a normal distribution.
- Fisher's exact-test was applied to the macroscopic findings.

- CLINICAL SIGNS AND MORTALITY
No mortality was observed in either males or females.
F0 Males; substance-related clinical signs such as hunched
back and abnormal gait were recorded at 800 mg/kg from first week of treatment. These clinical
signs disappeared on week 3 (abnormal gait) and on week 6 (hunched back). In addition, ruffled
fur and rales were recorded occasionally in some males at 800 mg/kg.
Functional performance tests
No differences in fore- or hind limb grip strength were recorded in males after at least 43
administrations.
Slightly lower locomotor activity was recorded in males at 800 mg/kg, but the differences were
not statistically significant. No differences were recorded in the remaining groups.
Sensory reactivity assessments
All animals responded positively to the different reflexes such as blink, pinna, righting and iridic
reflexes and pain, auditory startle and handling response (push-off).
Females;
Salivation was recorded in all test item groups. This clinical sign increased in frequency and
number of occurrences with the dose level. Test item-related clinical signs such as hunched back
and abnormal gait were recorded at 800 mg/kg in all animals during pretreatment period and in
some animals during pregnancy. In addition, ruffled fur and rales at breathing were recorded in
some females at 800 mg/kg. During lactation, only salivation was recorded.
No clinical signs were recorded in the control group.
BODY WEIGHT AND WEIGHT GAIN
Males;
Statistically lower body-weight gain was recorded at 800 mg/kg during prepairing after which
there was a recovery in body weight.
Slight lower body-weight gain was recorded at 300 mg/kg during postpairing. It was statistically
significant on day 5.
No differences with the control group were recorded at 100 mg/kg.
Females;
Slightly lower body-weight gain was recorded at 100 mg/kg at pregnancy and statistically
significant differences were recorded on days 3 and 5 of pregnancy. No differences were
recorded in the remaining group.
Lower body-weight-gain was recorded at lactation in all test item groups. Statistically significant
differences were recorded at 300 and 800 mg/kg.
FOOD CONSUMPTION AND COMPOUND INTAKE (if feeding study)
Males;
Slight decreased in food consumption was recorded during the prepairing period at 800 mg/kg,
but the difference was not statistically significant.
No differences with the control group were recorded in the remaining groups.
Females;
Slightly significant lower food consumption was recorded at 100 and 800 mg/kg during days 0-7
of pregnancy. In addition, slightly lower food consumption was recorded at 300 and 800 mg/kg
during lactation, but the difference was not statistically significant.
No differences with the control group were recorded in the remaining groups.
FOOD EFFICIENCY
WATER CONSUMPTION AND COMPOUND INTAKE (if drinking water study)
Males;
Higher water consumption was recorded at 800 mg/kg throughout the treatment period. The
differences were statistically significant on days 3-8 of the postpairing period.
No differences with the control group were recorded in the remaining group.
Females;
Higher water consumption was recorded at 800 mg/kg during prepairing period and pregnancy.
The differences were statistically significant during days 2-7 and 16-18 of pregnancy.
Slightly higher water consumption was recorded at 300 mg/kg on days 4-14 of pregnancy, but
the difference was not statistically significant.
No differences with the control group were recorded at 100 mg/kg.
OPHTHALMOSCOPIC EXAMINATION
HAEMATOLOGY
Males;
At 800 mg/kg, statistically lower hemoglobin, hematocrit and erythrocyte values were observed
with respect to the control group.
In addition, high fluorescence reticulocyte ratio (HFR) value increased with respect to the
control group. These differences were not statistically significant.
At 300 mg/kg, slightly lower hemoglobin, hematocrit and erythrocyte values were observed in
males compared to the control group.
No differences with the control group were recorded at 100 mg/kg.
Females;
At 800 mg/kg, high fluorescence reticulocyte ratio (HFR) and reticulocyte values increased with
respect to the control group. These differences were not statistically significant.
No differences with the control group were recorded at 100 or 300 mg/kg.
Blood Chemistry
Males;
Statistically significant increases in chloride values were recorded in all test-item-treated groups
in a dose dependent manner. Additionally, lower calcium values and higher potassium, urea and
creatinine values were observed at 800 mg/kg. The differences recorded were not statistically
significant with respect to the control group.
Females;
At 800 mg/kg, decreases in creatinine values and increases in glucose and sodium values were
observed. The differences in the sodium values were statistically significant. Moreover, higher
cholesterol was recorded at 100 mg/kg and higher triglycerides at 800 mg/kg.
CLINICAL CHEMISTRY
URINALYSIS
Higher urine volume was recorded in both genders at 800 mg/kg and in females the differences
were statistically significant. Consequently, the urine density decreased and the pH decreased
slightly.
No differences were recorded in remaining groups.
NEUROBEHAVIOUR
Sensory reactivity assessments
All animals responded positively to the different reflexes such as blink, pinna, righting and iridic
reflexes and pain, auditory startle and handling response (push-off).
ORGAN WEIGHTS
At the dose of 800 mg/kg, higher liver weights were recorded in both genders. These differences
were statistically significant in relative to body and brain weight in males. In males, statistically
higher kidney weights relative to body weight were recorded.
In addition, lower thymus weights were recorded in females and higher prostate/seminal gland
weights were observed in males. These differences were not statistically significant.
No relevant differences from the control group were recorded at 100 or 300 mg/kg.
GROSS PATHOLOGY
Offspring;
No findings were recorded in the control, 100 or 300 mg/kg pups.
One male (no. 3) from litter no. 74 (800 mg/kg) had dilated left renal pelvis (variation) on day 4
post partum. This was considered to be within the range of normal background findings which
may be seen in rats.
Parental generation
At 800 mg/kg, thickened gastric mucosa was observed in 9/10 male and 9/10 females. Two of
these males also presented reddish foci in gastric mucosa. Likewise, reddish mesenteric and
mandibular lymph nodes were observed in one male and three females. One female had reddish
foci in thymus and two had small thymus.
At 300 mg/kg, reddish/ dark foci in gastric mucosa were recorded in three males and in one
female. Moreover two females had thick stomach. Likewise, reddish foci in the thymus of one
male and reddish mandibular lymph nodes in one female were observed. One female had small
thymus.
At 100 mg/kg, reddish focus in gastric mucosa was observed in two males. Likewise, reddish
mandibular lymph nodes were observed in two males and reddish thymus in one male. Three
females had thymus reduced in size, one of them with pale kidneys.
At control group, one male had reddish mandibular lymph node and another one had reddish foci
on thymus. Three females had small thymus.
Yellowish gastric mucosa was recorded in few animals from all groups.
The observed effects are believed to be of no toxicological relevance as it is expected to be related to the physical administration of the test substance, leading to local irritation and ulceration.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- The repeated dose toxicity was studied in an OECD Guideline 422 study. With respect to repeated dose toxicity of the parental generation a systemic NOAEL of 300 mg/kg bw/day could be established with respect to increase in liver weights for both sexes (LOAEL at 800 mg/kg/d) , while a NOAEL of 100 mg/kg/d can be concluded for local toxic effects in the stomach (LOAEL at 300 mg/kg/d).
- Executive summary:
The repeated dose toxicity of 2-pehnoxyethyl acrylate was investigated in a combined repeated toxicity and reproductive/developmental toxicity study (OECD 422) at the dose levels of 0, 100, 300 and 800 mg/kg bw/d.
No mortality was recorded in either male or female animals. Hunched back, ruffled fur, abnormal gait and decrease in motor activity were recorded in both genders at 800 mg/kg. These clinical signs decreased in frequency and incidence with the number of administrations received. Body weight decreased in males during the pre-pairing period and slightly in females during pregnancy at 800 mg/kg. Test-item-related higher liver weight was observed in males and females at 800 mg/kg associated to minimal centrilobular hepatocellular hypertrophy with increased incidence of hematopoietic foci. Test-item-related thick gastric wall was recorded at 300 and 800 mg/kg in both genders, related in some animals with reddish foci/focus associated with acanthosis, hyperkeratosis and/or inflammatory infiltrate in submucosa and presence of forestomach ulcerations. Based on these finding a NOAEL of 300 mg/kg bw/d can be concluded in relation to systemic effects for both sexes while a NOAEL of 100 mg/kg/d applies to local effects in the stomach.
