Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Based on the results of this study Piroctone olamine does not elicite maternal toxicity and is not embryotoxic and not teratogenic.
- Executive summary:
Piroctone olamine was investigated for embryotoxic and/or developmental (teratogenic) toxicity using groups of 15 pregnant female rabbits. They were administered Piroctone olamine orally by gavage once daily on days 7 - 19 of gestation at dose-levels of 0, 16, 32 or 63 mg/kg body weight. On day 29 of pregnancy the dams were killed and delivered by cesarean section. On opening the uterus, live and dead fetuses, fetal resoprtion sites, placentae, and corpora lutea on the ovaries were counted and macroscopically assessed. Body weight and crown-rump length of the fetuses, the diameter of the conceptuses under resorption and placental weight were determiend. The sex of the fetuses was determined at autopsy. All fetuses underwent gross pathological evaluation. About half of the fetuses in each litter were subjected for examination of visceral and the other half of skeletal malformations. The results showed that repeated administration of Piroctone olamine in the sensitive phase of organogenesis caused no impairment of general health status of the dams and no disturbances of intrauterine development of the fetuses. The examinations of the fetuses for developmental status, externally acertainable abnormalities, visceral and skeletal malformations, and a 24 -hour viability test suggested no embryotoxic and teratogenic action of Piroctone olamine.
