Results and discussion
Results: maternal animals
Maternal developmental toxicity
- Details on maternal toxic effects:
- Maternal toxic effects:no effects
Details on maternal toxic effects:
No mortality was observed during the treatment period. No toxic effects were reported during the study. Females of all dose groups had orange-brown discolored urine throughout the application period at dose related intensity. Mean maternal bodyweight gains and mean food consumptions over the gestation period were normal when compared to the control group. Gross necropsy did not reveal any organ alterations related to treatment. No significant differences in the number of viable fetuses, the male to female sex ratio, birth- position, number of runts, post-implantation losses, implantations, resorptions and corpora lutea between dosage groups and the control group were observed. The highest dose (60 mg/kg/day) group showed an increase in fetal body weight and uteri weights with a tendency towards dose-relation.
Results (fetuses)
- Details on embryotoxic / teratogenic effects:
- Embryotoxic / teratogenic effects:no effects
Details on embryotoxic / teratogenic effects:
Examination of the fetuses yielded minor variations (wavy ribs) at comparable inter-group frequencies and incidences within the historical control animals of this strain. There were no biologically significant differences in the number of litters with malformations or developmental variations between any of the dose groups and the control group.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- NOAEL was found to be 30 mg/kg/day for Picramic acid in male and female Wistar derived SPF-Albino Crl:Wi/Br rats where there dams were exposed at concentration 0, 10, 30 and 60 mg/kg bw/day during gestation period of 5-15 days by oral gavage.
- Executive summary:
In devlopmental study of Picramic acid was assessed in male and female Wistar derived SPF-Albino Crl:Wi/Br rats where there dams were exposed at concentration 0, 10, 30 and 60 mg/kg bw/day during gestation period of 5-15 days.
At 60mg/kg/day dose group, there was an increase in foetal body weight and uterine weights and it was dose related change. No significant chage was observed at 30 mg/kg/day.
Therefore the No Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) of picramic acid in female rats after daily oral treatment is determined to be 30 mg/kg bw/day for the maternal and foetal organisms.
