Description of key information
Repeated oral dose toxicity combined to a reproduction screening (OECD guideline 422) in SD rats:
-The No Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) for parental systemic toxicity was considered to be 300 g/kg/day based on absence of adverse findings at this high-dose level,
- The No Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) for local tolerance was considered to be lower than 30 mg/kg/day (pronounced microscopic changes in the forestomach in males from 30 mg/kg/day and in females from 100 mg/kg/day).

Day 1 corresponds to the first day of the treatment period. - Frequency of treatment:
- Once daily, at approximately the same time (7 days/week)
- Remarks:
- Doses / Concentrations:
0, 30, 100 or 300 mg/kg bw/day.
Basis:
other: nominal concentration. - No. of animals per sex per dose:
- 10 animals/sex/dose.
- Control animals:
- yes, concurrent vehicle
- Details on study design:
- Dose selection rationale: the dose-levels were set based on the results of a previous 2-week dose-range finding study performed in the same species and strain (CiToxLAB France/Study No. 40287 TSR). ). In this study, 4 groups of 3 males and 3 females received 0 (corn oil), 100, 400 or 1000 mg/kg/day daily for 2 weeks by gavage with a constant dose volume of 5 mL/kg/day. In this preliminary study, there were the following findings:
- clinical signs: ptyalism (hypersalivation) from 400 mg/kg/day (from study day 3 or 8) in both sexes,
- body weight and food consumption: no obvious effects (high variations between animals),
- macroscopic examination at necropsy: no effects on mean organ weight, but thickened and/or white discoloration of forestomach from 400 mg/kg (1 to 3 animals per sex).
Ptyalism was considered to be test item treatment-related but of minor toxicological significance. However, the effects on forestomach were considered to represent signs of local intolerance to the test item and potentially related to its corrosive properties. Therefore, 300 mg/kg/day was selected as the high-dose level. The low-dose and mid-dose were selected using a ratio representing approximately a 3-fold interval (i.e. 30 and 100 mg/kg/day).
- Rationale for animal assignment (if not random): during the acclimation period, the required number of animals (40 males and 40 females) was selected according to body weight and clinical condition. The animals were allocated to groups (by sex) using a computerized stratification procedure based on body weight, so that the average body weight of each group was similar. - Positive control:
- Not used.
- Observations and examinations performed and frequency:
- CAGE SIDE OBSERVATIONS: Yes
- Time schedule: each animal was checked for mortality or signs of morbidity once a day before the treatment period and at least twice a day during the treatment period, including weekends and public holidays. From arrival, each animal was observed once a day as part of routine examinations. From the start of the treatment period, each animal was observed once a day, at approximately the same time, for the recording of clinical signs.
DETAILED CLINICAL OBSERVATIONS: Yes
- Time schedule: detailed clinical examinations were performed on all animals once before the beginning of the treatment period and then once a week until the end of the study.
Observations included (but were not limited to) changes in the skin, fur, eyes, mucous membranes, occurrence of secretions and excretions and autonomic activity (e.g. lachrymation, piloerection, pupil size, unusual respiratory pattern). Changes in gait, posture and response to handling as well as the presence of clonic or tonic movements, stereotypes (e.g. excessive grooming, repetitive circling) or bizarre behavior (e.g. self mutilation, walking backwards) were also recorded.

FOOD CONSUMPTION AND COMPOUND INTAKE (if feeding study):
- Food consumption for each animal determined and mean daily diet consumption calculated as g food/kg body weight/day: Yes
The quantity of food consumed by each male was measured once a week, over a 7 day period, from the first day of treatment until the start of the mating period. The quantity of food consumed by each female was measured once a week, over a 7 day period, from the first day of treatment until the start of the mating period, during pregnancy at the intervals days 0-7, 7 14 and 14-20 p.c. and during lactation for interval days 1 5 p.p..

This included examination of the external surfaces, all orifices, the cranial cavity, the external surfaces of the brain and spinal cord, the thoracic, abdominal and pelvic cavities with their associated organs and tissues and the neck with its associated organs and tissues. Special attention was paid to the reproductive organs. The numbers of corpora lutea and implantation sites were also recorded for females sacrificed as scheduled on Day 6 p.p. and for females sacrificed on Days 25 or 26 p.c. due to no delivery. For apparently non-pregnant female the presence of implantation scars on the uterus was checked.

A microscopic examination was performed on:
- all tissues listed in the Tissue Procedure Table (See Table 7.5.1/1) from the first five sacrificed as scheduled males and the first five females sacrificed on day 6 p.p. of the control and high-dose groups (groups 1 and 4),
- all macroscopic lesions of all groups.
Special emphasis was paid to the stages of spermatogenesis in the male gonads and histopathology of interstitial testicular cell structure.
ORGAN WEIGHTS: the body weight of each animal sacrificed as scheduled after the end of the mating period for males or on Day 6 p.p. for females was recorded before sacrifice and the organs specified in the Tissue Procedure Table (See Table 7.5.1/1) were weighed (wet) as soon as possible after dissection. - Other examinations:
- See "Tox.reproOECD 422 study V1 CiToxLAB 2013" section
- Statistics:

- CLINICAL SIGNS AND MORTALITY
There were no unscheduled deaths in males during the study.
For no delivery, one female given 30 mg/kg/day was sacrificed on Day 26 p.c. and two others given 100 mg/kg/day were sacrificed on Day 25 p.c.. These females were found to be non-pregnant at necropsy.
Ptyalism was recorded in 6/10 males given 100 mg/kg/day and in all males and females given 300 mg/kg/day throughout the premating, gestation and/or lactation periods. This sign, commonly observed when a test item is administered by gavage, was considered to be of minor toxicological importance.
Other findings (area(s) of hair loss and cutaneous lesion(s) on neck), commonly observed in this species and strain, were considered to be not treatment related
BODY WEIGHT AND WEIGHT GAIN
There were no effects on mean body weight and mean body weight change in males and females during the study.
FOOD CONSUMPTION AND COMPOUND INTAKE (if feeding study)
There were no effects on mean food consumption during the study in males and females.
HAEMATOLOGY
There were no test item-related effects and no statistically significant changes in mean hematology and coagulation data (See Table 7.5.1/2)
CLINICAL CHEMISTRY
There were no test item-related effects on mean blood biochemistry data (See Table 7.5.1/3)
URINALYSIS
No relevant differences were noted in the quantitative or qualitative urinary parameters between control and test item-treated animals.
NEUROBEHAVIOUR
There were no differences between test item-treated and control groups in motor activity (horizontal movements and rearing). There were no behaviral or neurologic abnormalities in any animal.
ORGAN WEIGHTS
When compared with controls, the following changes in the mean organ weights were observed:
- the absolute and relative liver weights were higher in males given 300 mg/kg/day but without reaching a statistical significance,
- the absolute and relative spleen weights were higher in males given 30 or 100 mg/kg/day reaching a statistical significance for the absolute weight at 100 mg/kg/day (p<0.05). In the absence of a similar trend at 300 mg/kg/day, any relationship with the test item was excluded,
- the absolute and relative adrenal weights were higher in males given 30 mg/kg/day without reaching a statistical significance. In the absence of a similar trend at 100 or 300 mg/kg/day, any relationship with the test item was excluded.
Other changes in the mean organ weights were considered to be part of the normal variation between groups.
GROSS PATHOLOGY
Thickening or white discoloration of the forestomach was seen in 1/10 males given 30 mg/kg/day, 1/10 males given 100 mg/kg/day, 9/10 males and 2/10 females given 300 mg/kg/day. This mainly correlated histologically with hyperplasia of squamous cells and/or hyperkeratosis and was considered to be related to the test item.
Black deposit was present in the stomach of one female given 100 mg/kg/day correlating histologically with erosion and one female given 300 mg/kg/day correlating with a chronic inflammation of the serosa with fibrosis. This stomach also appeared thickened. Any relationship with the test item was excluded.
Reduced size of testes was observed bilaterally in one male given 100 mg/kg/day (associated with reduced size of epididymides) and unilaterally in one male given 300 mg/kg/day (associated with agenesis of the epididymis). These isolated changes were considered to be fortuitous and without relationship with the test item.
Other macroscopic changes were considered to be part of the normal changes commonly seen in rats and were considered without any relationship with the test item.
HISTOPATHOLOGY
Test item-related changes were seen in the forestomach at all dose-levels in males and at 100 or 300 mg/kg/day in females.
1- Forestomach:
The forestomach was examined histologically in the following animals:
- the first five sacrificed as scheduled males from all groups 1 to 4 (controls, 30, 100 and 300 mg/kg/day respectively) and those showing macroscopic changes at necropsy (one given 30 mg/kg/day and four given 300 mg/kg/day),
- the first five females sacrificed on Day 6 post-partum from groups 1 to 4 (controls, 30, 100 and 300 mg/kg/day respectively).
Hyperplasia of squamous cells (graded minimal to marked in males and minimal to moderate in females) was observed at all dose-levels in males and at 100 and 300 mg/kg/day in females. This was often associated with hyperkeratosis. Additional changes consisted of minimal erosion/ulceration in a few animals at 100 and 300 mg/kg/day and inflammation and/or edema
2- Miscellaneous:
Minimal mononuclear cell infiltrate (perivascular) was observed in lungs of all groups including controls, but with a higher incidence in treated animals than in controls. However, in the absence of a dose-related incidence and/or severity any relationship with the test item was excluded.
3- Testes:
Marked tubular atrophy was seen in the right testis of one male given 300 mg/kg/day correlating with the reduced size noted at necropsy.
Severe tubular atrophy was seen bilaterally in one male given 100 mg/kg/day associated with severe reduced sperm count in the epididymides correlating with the reduced size observed at necropsy.
As these changes are occasionally seen in rats, involved only one side in the high dose group male and in the absence of testes changes in the other treated animals, these isolated observations were considered to be fortuitous.
4- Liver
There were no histopathological correlates with the higher liver weight at necropsy in males at 300 mg/kg/day. - Dose descriptor:

- Executive summary:
A combined repeated dose toxicity study with the reproduction/developmental toxicity screening test (CiToxLAB, 2013) was conducted with Phosphoric acid, mono and bis(branched and linear pentyl)esters according to the OECD test guideline No. 422 and in compliance with GLP.
Sprague-Dawley rats (10/sex/dose level) received the test item daily by oral (gavage) administration before mating, through mating and, for the females, through gestation until day 5 p.p.. The test item was administered at dose levels of 30, 100 and 300 mg/kg/day in the vehicle (Corn oil). Another group of ten males and ten females received the vehicle, alone, under the same experimental conditions and acted as a control group. A constant dosage volume of 5 mL/kg bw/day was used.
The animals were checked daily for clinical signs, mortality, and detailed clinical observations were conducted weekly. Body weight and food consumption were recorded weekly until mating and then at designated intervals throughout gestation and lactation. A Functional Observation Battery (FOB), including motor activity, and laboratory investigations (haematology, blood biochemistry and urinalysis) were carried out on five males and five females from each group at the end of the study.
The males were sacrificed after completion of the mating period and dams were sacrificed on Day 6 p.p.. A full macroscopic post mortem examination was performed, with particular attention accorded to the reproductive organs. Designated organs were weighed and selected tissue specimens were preserved.
A microscopic examination was performed on selected organs from the first five males sacrificed at the end of the treatment period and the first five females sacrificed on Day 6 p.p. of the control and high-dose groups and on all macroscopic lesions from all groups.
A macroscopic post-mortem examination of the principal thoracic and abdominal organs was performed on pups sacrificed on Day 5 p.p. and on those found dead.
There were no unscheduled test item-related deaths. Ptyalism was the only recorded clinical sign, observed in both sexes at 300 mg/kg/day and in males at 100 mg/kg/day. This finding was considered to be related to the test item but of minor toxicological importance. There were no effects on body weight, food consumption, functional observation battery tests or motor activity data in any group and sex. No relevant changes were noted in haematology and biochemistry parameters. At pathology examination, microscopic changes were seen in the forestomach at all dose-levels in males and at 100 and 300 mg/kg/day in females. These included erosions (at 100 and 300 mg/kg), hyperplasia of squamous cells with hyperkeratosis (correlating with macroscopy), inflammation and edema. Due to the severity of these changes and the presence of erosion/ulcer at 100 and 300 mg/kg/day, these changes were considered to be adverse at both these levels in rats. Despite the absence of histopathological correlates, the higher liver weight in males at 300 mg/kg/day was considered to be test item-related but non adverse.
Based on the experimental conditions of this study:
-The No Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) for parental systemic toxicity was considered to be 300 g/kg/day based on absence of adverse findings at this high-dose level,
- The No Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) for local tolerance was considered to be lower than 30 mg/kg/day (pronounced microscopic changes in the forestomach in males from 30 mg/kg/day and in females from 100 mg/kg/day).
This study is considered as acceptable as it satisfies the main criteria of OECD guideline No.422.

Additional information
Repeated dose toxicity via oral route:
One study of reliability 1 according to Klimisch cotation critera, is available (CiToxLAB, 2013) and was selected as a key study.In this study (OECD 422), Sprague-Dawley rats (10/sex/dose level) received the test item daily by oral (gavage) administration before mating, through mating and, for the females, through gestation until day 5 p.p.. The test item was administered at dose levels of 30, 100 and 300 mg/kg/day in the vehicle (Corn oil). Another group of ten males and ten females received the vehicle, alone, under the same experimental conditions and acted as a control group.
The animals were checked daily for clinical signs, mortality, and detailed clinical observations were conducted weekly. Body weight and food consumption were recorded weekly until mating and then at designated intervals throughout gestation and lactation. A Functional Observation Battery (FOB), including motor activity, and laboratory investigations (haematology, blood biochemistry and urinalysis) were carried out on five males and five females from each group at the end of the study.
There were no unscheduled test item-related deaths. Ptyalism was the only recorded clinical sign, observed in both sexes at 300 mg/kg/day and in males at 100 mg/kg/day. This finding was considered to be related to the test item but of minor toxicological importance. There were no effects on body weight, food consumption, functional observation battery tests or motor activity data in any group and sex. No relevant changes were noted in haematology and biochemistry parameters. At pathology examination, microscopic changes were seen in the forestomach at all dose-levels in males and at 100 and 300 mg/kg/day in females. These included erosions (at 100 and 300 mg/kg), hyperplasia of squamous cells with hyperkeratosis (correlating with macroscopy), inflammation and edema. Due to the severity of these changes and the presence of erosion/ulcer at 100 and 300 mg/kg/day, these changes were considered to be adverse at both these levels in rats.
Based on the experimental conditions of this study:
-The No Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) for parental systemic toxicity was considered to be 300 g/kg/day based on absence of adverse findings at this high-dose level,
- The No Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) for local tolerance was considered to be lower than 30 mg/kg/day (pronounced microscopic changes in the forestomach in males from 30 mg/kg/day and in females from 100 mg/kg/day).
Justification for selection of repeated dose toxicity via oral route - systemic effects endpoint:
Only one study was available.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Based on the available data (OECD 422 results), Phosphoric acid, mono and bis(branched and linear pentyl)esters is not classified for repeated dose toxicity according to the criteria of the Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 and the Directive 67/548/EEC criteria.
