- CLINICAL SIGNS AND MORTALITY
No treatment-related mortality occurred in the male and female animals. Four males died due to intubation errors (2) and a broken palate (2), while 2 female animals died after blood collection.
Slight but statistically significant excess in salivation was noted for both males and females of the 50 mg/kg bw/day group, while this excess was moderate and significant in the 125 and 250 mg/kg bw/day groups. A statistically significant increase in urine-stained abdominal fur was observed in the 125 and 250 mg/kg bw/day groups, while the latter group showed also rales (males) and chromorhinorrhea (females). Females of the 50, 125 and 250 mg/kg bw/day dose group showed an ungroomed coat.
No test substance-related clinical signs were observed during the recovery period in both males and females.
BODY WEIGHT AND WEIGHT GAIN
Absolute body weights in males of the 125 and 250 mg/kg bw/day group were significantly reduced from day 28, as well as body weight gain during several periods throughout the study. The latter also accounted for the females of the same groups, but their absolute body weights did not differ from the control group (as well as the other female groups).
No effects that were considered treatment-related were observed on the body weight (gain) of males and females of the other two test groups (10 and 50 mg/kg bw/day).
During recovery the absolute body weights remained significantly reduced in the 250 mg/kg bw/day group, although body weight gains were significantly increased.
FOOD CONSUMPTION
Absolute feed consumption was comparable between the control and 250 mg/kg bw/day group. Relative feed consumption was significantly increased for the 125 and 250 mg/kg bw/day group at several intervals and the entire dose period. No effects were observed for the other dose groups.
No difference in absolute and relative feed consumption was observed for females of the control and 250 mg/kg bw/day group.
During recovery the relative feed consumption was significantly higher for both males and females in the 250 mg/kg bw/day group.
OPHTHALMOSCOPIC EXAMINATION
No effects found in males and females of any dose group, at the end of study (including recovery).
HAEMATOLOGY
Hematology and coagulation parameters for male and female rats were generally comparable between the vehicle control and four treatment groups and no toxicologically important differences were observed on day 43 and/or day 91.
CLINICAL CHEMISTRY
Male rats showed significantly increased total bilirubin in the 125 and 250 mg/kg/day treatment groups. Cholesterol was also increased in the 250 mg/kg/day treatment group male rats. Blood urea nitrogen was significantly increased in the 250 mg/kg/day treatment group. Female rats showed significantly increased cholesterol and total bilirubin in the 250 mg/kg/day treatment group. After the recovery period, clinical chemistry values were comparable between the vehicle control and the 250 mg/kg bw/d treatment groups and no toxicologically important differences were observed.
URINALYSIS
A significant increase in the number of male rats in the 250 mg/kg bw/day group with cloudy orange urine was observed in week 7. There was also a tendency for reduced pH and an increase of ketones in urine in the 125 and 250 mg/kg bw/day groups (males). In females the pH was significantly reduced in all dose groups. The number of female rats with absent ketones was significantly reduced in the 50 and 250 mg/kg bw/day groups, while in the latter group there was a slight increase in females with 40 mg/dl ketones.
During week 13 the pH of urine was significantly decreased for the males of the 125 mg/kg bw/day group, but not for the 250 mg/kg bw/day group. For females this effect was observed in all dose groups. Number of rats with absent ketones were significantly reduced in the 50, 125 and 250 mg/kg bw/day dose groups for both males and females. Number of male rats with clear light orange urine was significantly increased in the highest dose group.
The number of male rats with ketones in urine (5 mg/dl) was significantly increased in the 10 and 50 mg/kg bw/day groups, but the effect was not dosage dependent and therefore not considered toxicologically relevant. Number of male rats in the 250 mg/kg bw/day group with 40 mg/dl ketones was (not significantly) increased.
No effects on urinalysis were observed during the recovery period for males, while for females the specific gravity of urine was significantly reduced in the 250 mg/kg bw/day group.
NEUROBEHAVIOUR
During the functional observational battery (FOB) conducted in week 11 of the dosage period, the mean scores for appearance were increased for male rats in the 125 and 250 mg/kg/day treatment groups, as were the numbers of unkempt rats or rats with urine and/or fecal staining. No other treatment-related differences were observed among the vehicle control and four treatment groups in any of the functional observational battery (FOB) parameters during week 11 of the dosage period. The total number of movements and the time spent in movement were increased for male and female rats in the 250 mg/kg/day treatment group during week 11 of the dosage period.
No test substance-related effects were observed in the performance of male and female rats in the functional observational battery conducted during week 17 (recovery period). During week 17 of the study, the total number of movements and the total time spent in movement continued to be increased (17% above control) for female rats in the 250 mg/kg/day treatment group, while the motor activity of male rats was not affected in the same treatment group during this same period.
ORGAN WEIGHTS
In males, no effects on absolute kidney weight were observed, while the relative kidney weight to BW ratio increased in 50, 125 and 250 mg/kg bw/d and relative kidney weight to brain ratio increased in 50, and 125 mg/kg bw/d. In females, absolute kidney weight was increased at all doses, while relative kidney weight to BW ratio was significantly increased in 125 and 250 mg/kg/d and relative kidney weight to brain weight ratio wassignificantly increased at 250 mg/kg/d
In males no effects were observed on absolute liver weight, while the relative liver weight to BW ratio was increased in 50, 125, and 250 mg/kg bw/d. When the relative liver weight to brain ratio was calculated, no effects were observed. In females, absolute and relative liver weight to BW ratio were increased at 50, 125 and 250 mg/kg bw/d. Relative liver weight to brain ratio was increased at 50 and 250 mg/kg bw/d.
Furthermore, an increased relative adrenal weight to BW ratio was observed in males, while in females no effects were observed on adrenal weight, absolute or relative.
No toxicologically important differences were observed in the organ weights and the ratios of the organ weights to terminal body weight and brain weight for male rats after the recovery portion of the study. For female rats, the liver weight was significantly reduced and the ratio of the thymus weight to the terminal body weight was significantly increased in the 250 mg/kg/day treatment group on DS 118.
GROSS PATHOLOGY
There were no gross test substance-related pathology findings in the animals evaluated.
HISTOPATHOLOGY: NON-NEOPLASTIC
In males, dose dependent increase in chronic progressive nephropathy was observed from 10mg/kg/d (4 minimal), 50 mg/kg/d (8 minimal, 1 mild), 125 mg/kg/d (5 minimal, 5 mild) and 250 mg/kg/d (5 minimal/5 mild). Minimal hyaline droplet change was noted in the cortical tubules of male rats in the 125 mg/kg/d and 250 mg/kg/d dose groups. Furthermore, dose dependent increase in dilatation of tubules was observed from 10mg/kg/d (1 minimal), 50 mg/kg/d (3 minimal, 1 mild), 125mg/kg/d (5 minimal) and 250 mg/kg/d (5 minimal, 4 mild).
In females, dose dependent dilatation of kidney tubules was observed in 50 (4 minimal), 125(9 minimal) and 250 mg/kg/d (7minimal, 2 mild, 1 moderate).
No histopathological effects were observed on liver and adrenals in both males and females.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Under the conditions of the test (OECD 429, GLP), the NOAEL was determined to be 10 mg/kg bw/day, based on increased adverse clinical observations, decreased pH and increased ketones in the urine of female rats, increased kidney weights, increased liver weights for female rats only and increased incidence and/or severity of histological changes in the kidney at the three highest doses.
- Executive summary:
In a 90-d oral repeated dose toxicity study (OECD TG 408, GLP), with a 4 week recovery period, the test substance was administered via oral gavage to 60 male and 60 female Sprague-Dawley rats by at 0, 10, 50, 125, and 250 mg/kg bw. Control animals received the vehicle, canola oil, alone. The dosage volume was 10 mL/kg. All parameters measured from the OECD TG 408 have been recorded. Rats assigned to the main study were sacrificed on day 91 of study and rats assigned to the recovery study (included to study reversibility of effects) were sacrificed on day 118 of study.
Results:
Clinical signs: No mortality (males) was observed in any of the treatment groups. In the three highest dose levels of 50, 125 and 250 mg/kg/day increased adverse clinical observations were done (excess salivation, urine-stained abdominal fur, rales and ungroomed coat). In the 250 mg/kg/day treatment group, male and female rats displayed increased motor activity. Body weight gains were significantly reduced for both male and female rats in the 125 and 250 mg/kg/day treatment groups over the entire dosage period (DSs 1 to 90). Relative feed consumption values for male rats were significantly increased in these two groups over the entire dosage period (DSs 1 to 90).
Haematology: Haematology and coagulation parameters for male and female rats were generally comparable between the vehicle control and four treatment groups and no toxicologically important differences were observed on DS 43 and/or 91.
Urinalysis: Reduced pH and increased numbers of male rats with greater than 40 mg/dL ketones in the 125 and 250 mg/kg/day treatment groups.
Urine pH was significantly reduced for female rats in the 10, 50, 125 and 250 mg/kg/day treatment groups. The number of female rats with absent urinary ketones was significantly reduced in the 50 and 250 mg/kg/day treatment groups, and the number of female rats with greater than 40 mg/dL ketones in the urine was slightly increased in the 250 mg/kg/day treatment group.
Biochemical parameters: For male rats sacrificed on DS 91, values for total bilirubin (T-BIL) were significantly increased in the 125 and 250 mg/kg/day treatment groups. Blood urea nitrogen (BUN) was significantly increased in the 250 mg/kg/day treatment group. For female rats sacrificed on DS 91, the values for cholesterol (CHOL) and total bilirubin (T-BIL) were significantly increased in the 250 mg/kg/day treatment group.
Organ effects weight/macroscopy and histopathology: No test substance-related necropsy observations were noted in the male rats sacrificed on DS 91 and 118.
The weight of the heart and the ratio of the heart weight to the brain weight were significantly reduced for male rats in the 125 and 250 mg/kg/day treatment groups.
For male rats only, the weight of the right adrenal gland was significantly reduced in the 250 mg/kg/day treatment group, while the ratio of the left adrenal weight to the terminal body weight was significantly increased in the 125 and 250 mg/kg/day treatment groups.
The weight of the liver and the ratio of the liver weight to the terminal body weight and brain weight were increased or significantly increased for female rats in the 50, 125 and 250 mg/kg/day treatment groups. After the recovery period, for female rats, the liver weight was significantly reduced and the ratio of the thymus weight to the terminal body weight was significantly increased in the 250 mg/kg/day treatment group on DS 118.
Microscopic test substance-related findings were observed in the kidneys of both sexes. These findings included an increased incidence and/or severity of changes typically seen in chronic progressive nephropathy. A minimal hyaline droplet change was also observed in the cortical tubules of individual males in the 125 and 250 mg/kg/day treatment groups. The afore-mentioned test substance-related renal changes were not seen in the recovery animals and were therefore considered reversible.
Conclusion:
During the four-week recovery period, body weight gains and relative feed consumption values were increased for male and female rats in the 250 mg/kg/day treatment group. Test substance-related changes in clinical signs, urine pH and ketones, kidney weight/kidney histopathology and clinical pathology were not observed in the recovery animals and were therefore considered to be reversible.
The NOAEL for test substance is considered to be 10 mg/kg bw/d, based on increased clinical observations, decreased pH and increased ketones in urine of female rats, increased kidney weights (absolute and relative) in male and female rats, increased liver weights in female rats and increased incidence and/or severity of histological changes (i.e., changes consistent with chronic progressive nephropathy and increased tubular dilatation in the renal outer medulla) in the kidney on the highest dose levels of 50, 125 and 250 mg/kg/day. In the 125 and 250 mg/kg/day treatment group male rats reduced body weight gain, increased relative feed consumption, decreased pH and increased urinary ketones, and reduced heart weights were observed.
