- Details on study schedule:
- 80 pregnant rats of the Wistar strain were treated once daily by oral gavage of picramic acid in 0.5% sodium carboxymethylcellulose during day 5 to day 15 of gestation atdoses of 0, 10, 30 and 60 mg/kg bw/d. The animals received a constant volume of 10 ml/kg bw/d. The test procedure followed the OECD guideline and was conducted in compliance with the principles of GLP.During the study the mortality, signs of intoxication, body weight and food consumption were recorded. All mated females were sacrified on day 20 of gestation. In the pregnant female, a complete autopsy and a macroscopic examination of the organs were carried out. Uterus were weighed and examined. For each ovary, corpora lutea were counted and foetuses were individually weighed and sexed. A gross examination of all foetuses was performed and one-third of the foetuses were examined for visceral anomalies. The other foetuses were evaluated for skeletal defects.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- NOAEL was found to be 30 mg/kg/day for Picramic acid in female Wistar derived SPF-Albino Crl:Wi/Br rats when they 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 a reprotox study of Picramic acid was assessed in female Wistar derived SPF-Albino Crl:Wi/Br rats when they were exposed at concentration0, 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 toxicity.
