Principles of method if other than guideline:
Pregnant rats were treated orally with dibutyl hydrogen phosphate (250, 500, 1000 mg/kg bw/day) on days 7-17 of gestation. Cesarean sections were performed on day 20 of gestation. The fetuses were examined for external, visceral or skeletal abnormalities.

Any other information on results incl. tables

The fetuses from dams receiving dibutyl hydrogen phosphate showed no evidence of external, visceral or skeletal abnormalities. Dibutyl hydrogen phosphate caused no maternal of fetal toxicities in any dibutyl hydrogen phosphate treated group.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The fetuses from dams receiving dibutyl hydrogen phosphate showed no evidence of external, visceral or skeletal abnormalities. Dibutyl hydrogen phosphate caused no maternal of fetal toxicities in any dibutyl hydrogen phosphate treated group.
Executive summary:

Pregnant rats were treated orally with dibutyl hydrogen phosphate (250, 500, 1000 mg/kg bw/day) on days 7-17 of gestation. Cesarean sections were performed on day 20 of gestation. The fetuses were examined for external, visceral or skeletal abnormalities.


Dibutyl hydrogen phosphate caused no maternal toxicity, besides a reduced body weight gain in the highest dose group (not statistically significant). No effects on pregnancy parameters were affected. The fetuses showed no evidence of treatment related toxicity with regard to body weight, sex ration, external, visceral or skeletal abnormalities in any dibutyl hydrogen phosphate treated group. Under the conditions of this study, the no-observed-adverse-effect levels (NOAEL) for maternal and fetal toxicities were considered to be more than 1000 mg/kg bw/day.
