animals of 150 mg/kg bw group and twelve animals of 500 mg/kg bw group for females. Although the grades of salivation were not reported, the sign was observed for about 5 minutes after dosing at 150 mg/kg bw , and for 30 minutes to 5 hours after dosing at 500 mg/kg bw during treatment
period. In addition, lacrimation was observed in two animals of 500 mg/kg bw group for males and in one animal each of 150 and 500 mg/kg bw
groups for females. The onsets and grades of lacrimation were not reported.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

No adverse effects regarding fertility or development. The NOAEL was 500 mg/kg bw/day regarding reproductive endpoints.

Executive summary:

The study was conducted according to the OECD combined repeated dose toxicity study with the reproduction/developmental toxicity screening test guideline [TG 422].

Cyclohexene was administered to SD(Crj:CD)IGS rats by gavage at doses of 0, 50, 150 and 500 mg/kg b.w./day for 48 days from 14 days prior to mating in males and for 42-53 days from 14 days prior to mating to day 4 of lactation throughout the mating and pregnancy period in females.

Regarding the reproductive ability of parent animals, no effects were detected on the estrus cycle, copulation index, fertility index, gestation length, numbers of corpora lutea and implantations, implantation index, gestation index, delivery index, parturition or maternal behavior. And regarding the developmental parameters, no effects were detected on viability, body weight, general

appearance or autopsy findings of offspring. The NOAEL for reproduction/developmental toxicity was considered to be 500 mg/kg bw/day, the highest dose tested.
