Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Piroctone olamine is not considered to be reproductive toxic after subcutaneous injection. Maternal toxic effects are confined to local effects at the
injection side in the highest dose group. - Executive summary:
Piroctone olamine was subcutaneously given to groups of 24 male and 24 female rats at daily doses of 0, 20, 50, 100 or 500 mg/kg body weight. Males were administered the test compound for 9 weeks before mating and through the mating period, while the females were treated for 2 weeks before mating up to day 6 of gestation. In the highest dose-group 8 male animals died probably due to remarkable inflammatory changes at the application side leading to a poor general health status. Additionally body weight gain was depressed in both male and female animals of the highest dose group. Copulation was delayed in the 500 mg/kg dosage group. However, the females and survived males at this dose level were shown to have reproductive ability. At each treatment level, fetuses exhibited no changes in any parameters examined at cesarian section. No differences occurred between treated and control animals in the incidences of visceral anomalies, skeletal anomalies and variations, and delayed ossification. Based on the results of this study, no significant reproductive toxicity is attributable to piroctone olamine.
