Examinations
- Parental animals: Observations and examinations:
- On the 20th day of gestation, 1 day prior to expected parturition, the rats were sacrificed by ether inhalation. The uterine horns and ovaries were surgically exposed to permit counting and recording of the numbers of corpora lutea, resorption sites, and viable and dead fetuses.
- Oestrous cyclicity (parental animals):
- Female rats were selected for experimentation only after observation of at least two complete 4- or 5-day estrus cycles. Occurrence of estrus was determined by daily vaginal smears, obtained by introducing 0.2 ml. of fresh, clean tap water into the vagina with a smooth. clean. sterile medicine dropper, withdrawing a part of the liquid, and transferring it to a clean slide. The slide was examined microscopically while fresh, and the stage of estrus (proestrus, metestrus, or diestrus) was determined according to cell types found in the vaginal smear.
- Sperm parameters (parental animals):
- No Data Available
- Litter observations:
- The following parameters of adverse effects were investigated:
(a) embryonic-fetal toxicity, as evidenced by resorptions and stillbirths,
(b) gross (external) malformations of fetuses,
(c) skeletal malformations.
(d) visceral abnormalities, and
(e) fetal size (weight).
In all evaluations. both viable and nonviable fetuses were considered - Postmortem examinations (parental animals):
- On the 20th day of gestation, 1 day prior to expected parturition, the rats were sacrificed by ether inhalation. The uterine horns and ovaries were surgically exposed to permit counting and recording of the numbers of corpora lutea, resorption sites, and viable and dead fetuses.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Based on all the observations and results, it was concluded that the NOAEL for the test chemical was 1.269 ml/Kg bw.
- Executive summary:
A study was performed to evaluate and assess the effect of the test chemical on the maternal animals and on the fetus of the treated maternal animals. In this study, the test chemical was administered to the test animals via the intraperitoneal route at doses of 0.1262, 0.3786, 0.7572 and 1.2619 ml/kg bw. Female rats were selected for experimentation only after observation of at least two complete 4- or 5-day estrus cycles. Occurrence of estrus was determined by daily vaginal smears, obtained by introducing 0.2 ml. of fresh, clean tap water into the vagina with a smooth. clean. sterile medicine dropper, withdrawing a part of the liquid, and transferring it to a clean slide. The slide was examined microscopically while fresh, and the stage of estrus (proestrus, metstrus, or diestrus) was determined according to cell types found in the vaginal smear. Test animals were adult, virgin female, Sprague-Dawley rats, weighing 175-225 g. Adult, male rats of this strain were utilized as the “stud pool.” Five female rats were housed with one male in a large cage at room temperature (22-27“) with foods and fresh tap water provided ad libitum. The onset of gestation was established by the presence of sperm in the vaginal smear and was designated as Day 0. with the following day being Day 1 of the gestation period. At this time, the female rats were moved to individual cages, where they were kept undisturbed except for specified injections. There were 31 groups, each composed of five female rats. All treatments were administered by intraperitoneal injection on the 5th, 10th, and 15th days of gestation. On the 20th day of gestation, 1 day prior to expected parturition, the rats were sacrificed by ether inhalation. The uterine horns and ovaries were surgically exposed to permit counting and recording of the numbers of corpora lutea, resorption sites, and viable and dead fetuses. The following parameters of adverse effects were investigated, embryonic-fetal toxicity, as evidenced by resorptions and stillbirths, gross (external) malformations of fetuses, skeletal malformations, visceral abnormalities, and fetal size (weight). In all evaluations. both viable and nonviable fetuses were considered. After treatment it was observed that, only one resorption site was ohserved in the test chemical group. No other gross pathological effects were observed in the test chemical treated group. No effects on the estrous cyclicity of the maternal animals was observed. Also, no effects on the reproductive parameters was observed. In fetal examinations, no effects on the body weights and the viability of the fetus was observed. Also, no significant effects on gross abnormalities except some sporadic cases of skeletal and visceral malformations were observed in the fetus treated with the test chemical. Thus, based on all the observations and results, it was concluded that the NOAEL for the test chemical was 1.269 ml/Kg bw.
