Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The end point for the developmental study was found to be NOEL at 2500 mg/kg bw for SPF-derived Wistar rats when treated with Brilliant Black PN (2519-30-4).
Executive summary:

Developmental study were performed onSPF-derived Wistar female rats. Study were conducted in two stages as the preliminary study four groups of 15 pregnant rats Brilliant Black PN was administered by gavagefrom day 0-19 of pregnancy.

In second study, 30 pregnant rats were used with same protocol.

On 21 days the animals were killed and ovaries and uterus removed.The number of corpora lutea in each ovary was recorded and the foetuses examined. Live foetuses, embryonic and foetal resorptions and dead foetuses were counted and the number and position of implantation sites were recorded.

 In the second study, half the foetuses in the control and top dose groups were examined for skeletal malformations and half for visceral defects. No abnormalities in condition or behaviour of the dams were observed in either study. At autopsy, no signs of embryo-toxicity or teratogenicity were observed.

The end point for the developmental study was found to be NOEL at 2500 mg/kg bw for SPF-derived Wistar rats when treated with Brilliant Black PN (2519-30-4).
