- Details on study design:
- - Dose selection rationale: In a previous range-finding inhalation study, rats were exposed to MXDA for 6-hours per day, 5 days per week, for a period of 4 weeks (up to 20 total exposures), target concentrations were 10, 40, and 200 mg/m^3. Three males in the 200 mg/m^3 group were euthanized in extremis. Test
substance-related microscopic findings were observed in the lungs of the 10, 40, and 200 mg/m^3 group males and females. Findings included minimal to mild mucous cell hyperplasia noted in the bronchi and medium-sized bronchioles of the lungs in the 10, 40, and 200 mg/m^3 group males and females; and minimal to mild epithelial degeneration of the bronchial and bronchiolar epithelium noted in the 10, 40, and 200 mg/m^3 group males and females. No other test substance-related findings were noted. Based on the data, the high exposure concentration for this 13-week toxicity study was set at 30 mg/m^3.

- Each mean was presented with the standard deviation (SD), standard error (SE), and the number of animals (N) used to calculate the mean. Due to the use of significant figures and the different rounding conventions inherent in the types of software used, the means and standard deviations on the summary and individual tables may differ slightly. Therefore, the use of reported individual values to calculate subsequent parameters or means will, in some instances, yield minor variations from those listed in the report data tables. All statistical tests were performed using WTDMS™ unless otherwise noted. Analyses were conducted using two-tailed tests (except as noted otherwise) for minimum significance levels of 1 % and 5 %, comparing each test substance-treated group to the control group by sex. Body weight, body weight change, food consumption, clinical pathology, and organ weight data were subjected to a parametric one-way ANOVA (Snedecor and Cochran, 1980) to determine intergroup differences. If the ANOVA revealed statistically significant (p<0.05) intergroup variance, Dunnett's test (Dunnett, 1964) was used to compare the test substance-treated groups to the control group.

- CLINICAL SIGNS AND MORTALITY
Incidental dead of one male animal in the Group 3 (5.0 mg/m^3).
BODY WEIGHT AND WEIGHT GAIN
Statistically significant higher mean body weight gains were noted in the 5.0 mg/m^3 group males from study day 56 through 63. The difference in body weight gain was considered to be due to biological variability and was not considered related to test substance exposure due to lack of a dose-response trend.
FOOD CONSUMPTION
Statistically significantly lower mean food consumption was noted in the 30 mg/m^3 group males during study week 16 to 16’ compared to the control group value. This difference in food consumption was considered to be due to biological variability and was not considered related to test substance exposure due to the single occurrence.
OPHTHALMOSCOPIC EXAMINATION
No effects
HAEMATOLOGY
Higher mean prothrombin time in the 0.6 mg/m^3 group males and higher mean absolute basophil count in the 0.6 mg/m^3 group females were noted at study week 13; however, these changes did not show a dose-related response. Thus, these changes were not considered to be test substance-related.
CLINICAL CHEMISTRY
No effects
URINALYSIS
No effects
NEUROBEHAVIOUR
Not examined
ORGAN WEIGHTS
Higher mean thyroids/parathyroids weight (absolute, relative to final body weight, and relative to brain weight) was noted in the 0.6 and 30 mg/m^3 group males at the study week 13 primary necropsy; however, this change did not show a clear dose-related response. Lower mean liver weight relative to final body weight was noted in the 30 mg/m^3 group males at the study week 17 recovery necropsy; however, all individual animal absolute liver weight values in the 30 mg/m^3 group males were within the range of individual animal values in the concurrent control group. Thus, these changes were not considered to be test substance-related.
GROSS PATHOLOGY
No effects
HISTOPATHOLOGY: NON-NEOPLASTIC
Test substance-related microscopic findings were noted in the lungs of the 5.0 and 30 mg/m^3 groups at the primary necropsy (study days 91 and 92). Degeneration of the bronchial epithelium (4/9 (m) and 3/10 (f) in 5.0 mg/m^3 group, and 10/10 (m) and 9/10 (f) in 30 mg/m^3 group) was characterized by loss of cilia, attenuation of the epithelium, increased cytoplasmic basophilia, and/or pyknotic nuclei. Degeneration was most pronounced at bronchial branch points and over regions of bronchus-associated lymphoid tissue (BALT). Squamous metaplasia was observed in association with regions of epithelial degeneration in 1 high-dose group male and was characterized by layers of flattened epithelial cells with visible cellular borders and eosinophilic cytoplasm. Subacute inflammation in the lungs was characterized by multifocal areas of infiltration of the alveoli and interstitium by mononuclear and polymorphonuclear inflammatory cells, thickening of alveolar septae, and/or pneumocyte hyperplasia. An increase in the
incidence of pulmonary subacute inflammation was noted in the 30 mg/m^3 group males compared to the control group males at the primary necropsy. Test substance-related histologic changes in the lungs were not observed at the recovery necropsy (study day 119). In the lungs, bronchial epithelial degeneration and squamous metaplasia were not present. Subacute inflammation was present, but without any increase in incidence or severity in the high-dose groups compared to the concurrent control groups. Thus, it was not considered to be test substance-related. There were no other test substance-related histologic changes. Remaining histologic changes were considered to be incidental findings or related to some aspect of
experimental manipulation other than exposure to the test substance. There was no test substance-related alteration in the prevalence, severity, or histologic character of those incidental tissue alterations. Subacute inflammation in the larynx was characterized by infiltration of the laryngeal
submucosa and occasionally the laryngeal epithelium by mixed inflammatory cells. At the primary necropsy, the incidence and severity of laryngeal inflammation in the 30 mg/m^3 group males and females was higher than that observed in the control group animals. Based on this observation, the larynx was evaluated microscopically from the low- and mid-dose group animals at the primary necropsy and the control and high-dose group animals at the recovery necropsy. Subacute inflammation in the larynx was present in all dose groups examined with equivocal differences in the incidence and severity of this finding between dose groups. Differences observed were attributed to individual animal biological variation and were not considered to be test substance-related.

- Executive summary:
The objective of the study was to evaluate potential toxic effects of aerosolized MXDA when administered via nose-only inhalation to Sprague Dawley rats for 6 hours per day on a 5 day per week basis for 13 weeks (minimum of 65 exposures for each animal). In
addition, a 4-week recovery period (minimum of 27 days) was included as appropriate to assess the persistence, reversibility, and/or delayed occurrence of potential test substance-related effects according to the OECD TG 413. Standard toxicity endpoints included clinical observations, body weights, hematology and serum chemistry evaluations, urinalysis, macroscopic examinations and organ weight determinations at necropsy, and microscopic examinations of tissues. The test substance, MXDA (meta-xylenediamine), is an intermediate in the production of epoxy curing agents, polyamides, and polyurethanes.
MXDA was administered via nose-only inhalation exposure for 6 hours per day, 5 days per week for a period of 13 weeks (minimum of 65 total exposures), to 3 groups (Groups 2-4) of Crl:CD(SD) rats. To accommodate a staggered necropsy schedule, the females received an additional exposure during the final week (66 total exposures). Target exposure concentrations were 0.6, 5.0, and 30 mg/m^3 for Groups 2, 3, and 4, respectively. Overall mean measured exposure concentrations were 0.64, 5.1, and 31 mg/m^3 for Groups 2, 3, and 4, respectively. A concurrent control group (Group 1) was exposed to filtered air on a comparable regimen. Groups 1 and 4 each consisted of 20 animals/sex and Groups 2 and 3 each consisted of 10 animals/sex. Following 13 weeks of exposure, up to 10 rats/sex/group were euthanized; the remaining ≤10 rats/sex in the control and high-dose groups were euthanized following a 4-week non-exposure (recovery) period. All animals were observed twice daily for mortality and moribundity. Clinical examinations were performed daily and detailed physical examinations were performed weekly. Individual body weights were recorded twice weekly for the first 4 weeks and weekly thereafter. Individual food weights were recorded weekly. Ophthalmic
examinations were performed on study days -8 and 86. Clinical pathology parameters (hematology, coagulation, serum chemistry, and urinalysis) were analyzed for all animals at the primary necropsy (study day 91 or 92). Complete necropsies were conducted on all animals, and selected organs were weighed at the scheduled necropsies. Selected tissues were examined microscopically from all animals in the control and high-concentration groups at the primary necropsy. The lungs, larynx, and gross lesions were examined from all animals in the low- and mid-concentration groups at the primary necropsy and from all animals at the recovery necropsy.
One male in the 5.0 mg/m^3 group was found dead on study day 77 with no prior clinical observations. The cause of death of this animal was undetermined; however, based on the occurrence of this single unscheduled death in the mid-dose group and the lack of
unscheduled deaths in high-dose group animals, the death of this animal was not considered test substance-related. All other animals survived until the scheduled primary or recovery necropsy. There were no test substance-related clinical observations or effects on body weights or food consumption. There were no alterations in hematology, coagulation, serum chemistry, or urinalysis parameters that were associated with test substance-exposure. There were no test substance-related ophthalmic findings. In addition, there were no test substance-related macroscopic or organ weight findings at the scheduled necropsies. Test substance-related microscopic findings were noted in the lungs of the 5.0 and 30 mg/m^3 groups at the primary necropsy. Degeneration of the bronchial epithelium was characterized by loss of cilia, attenuation of the epithelium, increased cytoplasmic basophilia, and/or pyknotic nuclei.Degeneration was most pronounced at the bronchial branch points and over regions of the bronchus-associated lymphoid tissue (BALT). Squamous metaplasia was observed in association with regions of epithelial degeneration in 1 high-dose group male and was characterized by layers of flattened epithelial cells with visible cellular borders and eosinophilic cytoplasm. In addition, subacute
inflammation in the lungs was characterized by multifocal areas of infiltration of the alveoli and interstitium by mononuclear and polymorphonuclear inflammatory cells, thickening of alveolar septae, and/or pneumocyte hyperplasia. An increase in the incidence of pulmonary subacute inflammation was noted in the 30 mg/m^3 group males compared to the control group males at the primary necropsy. Test substance-related histologic changes in the lungs were not observed at the recovery necropsy.
Exposure of Crl:CD(SD) rats to MXDA via nose-only inhalation, 6 hours per day for 5 days per week over a period of 13 weeks (65 or 66 total exposures) at target exposure concentrations of 0.6, 5.0, and 30 mg/m^3 was well tolerated. However, test substance-related, minimal bronchial epithelial degeneration was observed in the 5.0 mg/m^3 group euthanized at the primary necropsy. Therefore, the no-observed-effect concentration (NOEC) was 0.6 mg/m^3. In the 30 mg/m^3 group, findings from the primary necropsy consisted of test substance-related minimal to mild bronchial epithelial degeneration, minimal bronchial squamous metaplasia, and minimal to mild subacute inflammation in the lungs. Concurrence of the histopathological findings of bronchial epithelial degeneration and bronchial squamous metaplasia at 30 mg/m^3 was considered to be adverse. Therefore, the no-observed-adverse-effect target concentration was 5.0 mg/m^3. In addition, following the 4-week recovery period there were no test substance-related effects.
