- Remarks:

- No. of animals per sex per dose:
- 10 males and 10 females
- Control animals:
- yes, concurrent vehicle
- Details on study design:
- - Dose selection rationale: Based on the results of GLP Toxicology Study No. 87-XE-ODBP-10
conducted by the U.S. Army Public Health Command and the preliminary results obtained in the
previous non-GLP study PX87XC 7-day Oral (Gavage) Dose-Range Toxicity Study for OECD 421
conducted at Envigo CRS, S.A.U.
- The high dose level of 20 mg/kg was chosen with the aim of inducing some developmental and/or
maternal toxicity but not death or severe suffering. This dose level was previously tested in toxicology
study No. 87-XE-ODBP-10 and produced signs of systemic toxicity but no mortality or suffering. In
study PX87XC this dose level showed no evidence of toxicity or mortality.
- The intermediate and low dose levels were selected as a descending sequence to demonstrate any
possible exposure-related response.
- Rationale for animal assignment: Random
Examinations
- Statistics:
- Bartlett's test, Williams' test, Dunnetts test.
Linear-by-linear test (Cytel, 1995).
Cochran-Armitage test (Cytel, 1995). - Indices:
- Reproductive indices: Estrous cycle, pre-coital interval, mating performance, fertility and gestation length.
Offspring viability indices: Survival indexes, litter size, sex ratio, body weight, clinical signs, ano-genital distances or external examination.
Results and discussion
Results: maternal animals
General toxicity (maternal animals)
- Clinical signs:
- no effects observed
- Dermal irritation (if dermal study):
- not examined
- Mortality:
- mortality observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence):
- The death of two females (numbers 75 and 66) could be considered occasional and not treatment related given that no mortality was recorded at the high dose, due to the incidence observed in the study and to the fact that no test item related effects were observed in these animals during the study. The major factor contributing to their death remained undetermined histologically.
- Body weight and weight changes:
- no effects observed
- Food consumption and compound intake (if feeding study):
- no effects observed
- Food efficiency:
- not examined
- Water consumption and compound intake (if drinking water study):
- not examined
- Ophthalmological findings:
- not examined
- Haematological findings:
- not examined
- Clinical biochemistry findings:
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- T4 and TSH determinations: a decrease was recorded when compared to Control in adult males (at all doses but mainly at 20 mg/kg/day) and females (at 20 mg/kg/day). It was also observed at 20 mg/ kg/day in offspring males and females on Day 13 of lactation. Despite the effect observed at 20 mg/ kg/day in T4 and TSH determinations, thyroid and parathyroid glands weights were unaffected by treatment. Based on the fact that what was recorded was a decrease in the levels of TSH analyzed and not an increase (which would be related to a possible effect attributable to the components that alter the hormonal function at the level of generation of hypertrophy / follicular hyperplasia) and that no macroscopic findings have been recorded in the pituitary or thyroid / parathyroid glands, this finding cannot be considered as a relevant adverse effect.
- Urinalysis findings:
- not examined
- Behaviour (functional findings):
- not examined
- Immunological findings:
- not examined
- Organ weight findings including organ / body weight ratios:
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- Body-weight-adjusted prostate, seminal vesicles and coagulating gland and spleen weights in males from Group 4 (20 mg/kg/day), epididymides in males from Groups 3 and 4 (5 and 20 mg/kg/day, respectively) and brain weight in females from Group 4 (20 mg/kg/day) differed significantly when compared to control.
- Gross pathological findings:
- no effects observed
- Neuropathological findings:
- no effects observed
- Histopathological findings: non-neoplastic:
- no effects observed
- Histopathological findings: neoplastic:
- not examined
- Other effects:
- not examined
- Description (incidence and severity):
- During treatment one female at 1 mg/kg/day (number 62) and one at 5 mg/kg/day (number 76) showed irregular cycles and one female administered at 5 mg/kg/day (number 70) was acyclic. At termination, all reproductive phase females (pregnant) showed diestrus with the exception of 1/9
(number 68) at 1 mg/kg/day and 2/9 (numbers 70 and 71) at 5 mg/kg/day. These females showed different stages of estrous cycle, which indicated they had recovered the cycle. - Details on results:
- There was no effect of treatment on the pre-coital interval: all animals mated within four days of mating at the first estrous, with the exception of one female at 5 mg/kg/day, whose pre-coital interval extended to 14 days of mating with one male and 2 days of mating with a second male.
Mating performance was 100% for all groups except 5 mg/kg/day males, for which it was 90%. Fertility was 100% at 0 and 20 mg/kg/day and 90% (9/10) at 1 and 5 mg/kg/day for males and females. These differences cannot be taken into account based on occurrence and lack of dose response.
Gestation length was within the normal range in all treated groups.

There was no effect on offspring growth. There were no offspring clinical or necropsy signs observed which were indicative of a reaction to DNAN, and there was no relevant effect on litter size, sex ratio, survival indices, body weights, ano-genital distance or nipple areolae.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- The No Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) for reproductive / developmental toxicity was considered to be 20 mg/kg/day, taking into account that there was no effect on estrous cycle, pre-coital interval, mating performance, fertility and gestation length or in the offspring on survival indexes, litter size, sex ratio, body weight, clinical signs, ano-genital distances or external examination.
