- Endpoint:
- screening for reproductive / developmental toxicity
- Data waiving:

- the study does not need to be conducted because a pre-natal developmental toxicity study is available
- Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
- data waiving: supporting information
- Reproductive effects observed:
- not specified
- Endpoint:
- extended one-generation reproductive toxicity - basic test design (Cohorts 1A, and 1B without extension)
- Data waiving:
- study scientifically not necessary / other information available
- Justification for data waiving:
- the extended one-generation reproductive toxicity study does not need to be conducted because there are no results from available repeated dose toxicity studies that indicate adverse effects on reproductive organs or tissues, or reveal other concerns in relation with reproductive toxicity
- Justification for type of information:
- JUSTIFICATION FOR DATA WAIVING
According to REGULATION (EC) No 1907/2006, an Extended-One Generation Reproductive study shall be initially performed if there are results available from repeated dose toxicity studies that indicate adverse effects on reproductive organs or tissues, or reveal other concerns in relation with
The substance was administered as feed admix during 13 weeks in a study according OECD TG 408. Four test groups each consisting of 12 rats per sex were formed. The animals received 0, 200, 450, and 1000 mg active ingredient per kg body weight per day. Mortality, general symptoms, and body weights were recorded. Haematology and clinical chemistry determinations were performed. All rats were autopsied. Organs and tissues of the control rats and rats treated with 1000 mg/kg bw/day were microscopically examined.
Deaths related to treatment did not occur throughout the test period. Two female rats died as a result of anaesthesia. Treatment-related clinical symptoms were not observed. The treatment with BMDBM did not have an effect on the weight development and feed consumption. The number of red blood cells was decreased in female rats treated with 1000 mg/kg bw/day. The results of the urinalysis were normal. No findings were observed in eyes of control rats and rats treated with 1000 mg/kg bw/day. No treatment-related necropsy findings were seen. The liver weights of male rats treated with 1000 mg/kg bw/day and of females treated with 200, 450, and 1000 mg/kg bw/day were higher than those of the control groups. The liver weight increase in the animals treated with 200 mg/kg bw/day could be attributed to their higher body weight compared to the control animals, but the effect in the higher dose groups must be considered as related to treatment. After a treatment-free period of 4 weeks, the high dosed male and female rats had a normal liver weight. With the exception of hepatic parenchyma cells which became hypertrophic in females treated with 1000 mg/kg bw/day, no histopathological changes were considered to be related to treatment. No histopathological changes could be detected in uterus, testes or epididymides. The organs weights of uterus, ovaries, testes and prostate were not changed compared to the untreated control. Under the conditions of this study, the maximum oral dose level producing no toxic effect (NOAEL) was considered to be 450 mg/kg bw/day. The increase of liver weights as well the increase of hepatic parenchyma cells were interpreted as a process of liver adaption to treatment.
In conclusion, no toxic effects on reproductive organs have been reported after repeated exposure. Therefore, and because of animal welfare reasons an Extended-one Generation Reproductive study is not required. - Reason / purpose for cross-reference:

- Description (incidence and severity):
- The distribution of fetuses by sex was normal in all dose groups.
- External malformations:
- no effects observed
- Skeletal malformations:
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- No treatment-related skeletal malformations were observed in the controls and the 500 and 1000 mg/kg dose groups. One case of a fusion of two sternal elements was revealed in the 250 mg/kg dose group. Single occurrence of this malformation was also observed in animals of former control groups and therefore drug-relation is not taken into account. A slight incidence of delayed ossification of neural arches and sternebrae was observed in the 500 mg/kg dose group fetuses, but not in fetuses of the 250 and 1000 mg/kg dose groups. Because of this lack of dose dependence a drug relation seems to be questionable.
- Visceral malformations:
- no effects observed
- Other effects:
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- In the rearing group all measured parameters like resorption rate, birth rate, gestation length, survival and weight development of the pups compared well to concurrent and historical control group values.
- Details on embryotoxic / teratogenic effects:
- Embryotoxic / teratogenic effects: no effects
All reproductive parameters examined in the necropsy sub-groups compared well to concurrent control group results. Only one case of complete resorption of embryos was observed in the 250 mg/kg dose group. Because of its single occurrence in the lowest dose group it is considered to be a random finding without biological significance. The examination for soft tissue abnormalities revealed in the 500 mg/kg dose group one fetus with missing right ovarium and uterus. Because of its isolated occurrence in the middle dose group this finding is considered to be accidental. - Key result

- NOAEL
- Effect level:
- 1 000 mg/kg bw/day (nominal)
- Basis for effect level:
- other: embryotoxicity
- Key result
- Abnormalities:
- not specified
- Key result
- Developmental effects observed:
- no
- Conclusions:
- It can be concluded, that under the conditions of the present study butyl methoxydibenzoylmethane (BMDBM) is neither embryotoxic or teratogenic nor impairs postnatal development of rat offspring up to a dose of 1000 mg/kg bw/day.
- Executive summary:
Butyl methoxydibenzoylmethane (BMDBM), an UV-A absorber, was tested for embryotoxic and teratogenic action in the rat. In order to determine postnatal manifestations of prenatal administration of the test compound, this investigation included concurrent rearing of the offspring until weaning. Doses of 250, 500 and 1000 mg/kg body weight were administered daily by oral gavage from day 7 to 16 of gestation. A control group received the vehicle (SSV) only.
The test compound in general was well tolerated in all dose groups. All reproductive parameters examined in the necropsy subgroups compared well to control group results. No treatment-related skeletal malformations were observed in the controls and the treatment groups. One pup with two fused sternal elements was revealed in the lowest dose group. In the middle dose group a slight increase of incised neural arches and sternebrae was assessed. The soft tissue examination displayed one fetus of the 500 mg/kg dose group with unilateral missing ovarium and uterus. All these observations show no dose-dependence and are considered to be fortuitous findings without drug relation. In the rearing group all measured parameters were well comparable to concurrent control group values.
It may be concluded that under the conditions of the present study BMDBM, when applied orally to pregnant rats up to a dose of 1000 mg/kg bw/day is neither embryotoxic or teratogenic nor impairs the postnatal development of the offspring.
