Description of key information

In a subchronical 3 month-feeding study male and female rats received the test substance via food in following doses: 0 (control-group); 750; 3000; 12000 ppm (male rats: 57; 91.2; 228 mg/kg bw/d; female rats: 70.5; 112.8; 282 mg/kg bw/d). No mortalities and no effects on behaviour were observed. Food and water intake were not modified up to 3000 ppm. In the highest dose group of 12000 ppm the female rats consumed more food and the male rats had an increased water intake. The body weight gain was decreased in male and female rats in the highest dose group. Absolute and relative liver weight was slightly increased at some dose levels, but these slight differences (<10%, no histopathologic observations in any group) were not considered as treatment related. Kidney weight only increased at the highest dose level. No substance related histopathological effects were observed. Ophtalmological, hematological and clinical parameters were within the normal range. Only a slightly increased tromboplastin-time was observed in male rats at 12000 ppm. The NOAEL for male and female rats therefore is 3000 ppm (228 mg/kg in male rats and 282 mg/kg in female rats) (Ramm W. /Eiben R., Bayer AG, 1987).

Executive summary:

In a subchronical 3 month-feeding study male and female rats received the test substance via food in following doses: 0 (control-group); 750; 3000; 12000 ppm.

No mortalities and no effects on behaviour were observed.

Food and water intake were not modified up to 3000 ppm. In the highest dose group of 12000 ppm the female rats consumed more food and the male rats had an increased water consume.

The growth was delayed in male and femal rats in the highest dose group.

The absolute and relative liver weight was significantly dose-related increased at all dose levels, but the kidney weight only increased at the high dose level. No substance related histopatological effects (aorta, eyes with lids, cecum, duodenum, femur, brain, bladder, testicles, skin, heart, pituitary gland, larynx, head, ileum, jejunum, liver, lung, mesenterial lymph node, mandibular lymph node, stomach, lactiferous gland, spleen, femoral musculature, epididymis, nervus ischiadicus, nervus opticus, kidneys, esophagus, ovaries, oviduct, pancreas, prostata, rectum, cervical, thoracal and lumbal spinal cord, seminal vesicle, thyroid gland, salivary gland, sternum, thymus (if present), trachea, extraorbitary lacrimal gland, uterus, vagina, tongue) were observed.

Ophtalmological, hematological and clinical parameters were within the normal range.

Only a slightly increased tromboplastin-time was observed in male rats at 12000 ppm.

The NOAEL for male and female rats therefore is 3000 ppm.

Additional information

Conclusion: In a subchronical 3 month-feeding study the NOAEL for male and female rats was 3000 ppm. At 12000 ppm bodyweight gain was decreased and tromboplastin-time was slightly increased (Ramm W. /Eiben R., Bayer AG, 1987). There are no valid data available to characterize the repeated dosing using the dermal application and inhalation route.
