Administration / exposure

Route of administration:

oral: feed

Vehicle:

unchanged (no vehicle)

Details on oral exposure:

PREPARATION OF DOSING SOLUTIONS: 1.0% in the feed
Taking into account a mean body weight of 250 g and a mean food consumption of 20g/rat/day (Derelanko M.J., 2008, The Toxicologist's Pocket Handbook, Informa).
1% in the diet = 10000 mg/kg diet corresponds with 10 mg/g diet
20 g feed/rat (250g bw)/day = 80 g feed/kg bw/day = 0.8 g active ingredient/kg bw/day = 800 mg/kg bw/day.
A higher feed intake is possible, e.g. 1000 mg/kg at higher body weight and feed intake, but from a conservative viewpoint 750 mg/kg bw is taken.

Experimental Animals
The animals employed in the study were Charles River strain (Charles River Breeding Laboratories, North Wilmington, Mass.) albino rats. Two hundred and eighty rats (140 males and 140 females) were selected for the experiment, ear-punched with the animal number assigned and housed individually in standard wire-bottomed steel rat cages. Each cage bore a color-coded card identifying the animal with respect to project number, test material assignment, individual animal number and sex.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

The comparisons of final body weights and total weight gains revealed no statistically significant differences between test and control animals.
No outstanding differences in food consumption were noted between test rats and control rats.
No deaths or abnormal behavioral reactions were noted among any of the animals employed in the study.
No outstanding differences between test and control rats were noted with respect to any of the blood parameters studied.
No significant differences between the urine of test rats and control rats were observed.
No outstanding differences between test and control rats were noted at the time of gross pathological examination.
There were no significant differences between the tissues of test and control rats observed upon histopathological examination.

Executive summary:

Six groups of 40 albino rats (20 male, 20 female Charles River Strain) plus 1 control group (20 male, 20 female) were fed with 1% of various test items mixed into the diet. The various test items were category members ofthe Sulfosuccinates Diester Group, including Butanedioic acid, sulfo-, 1,4 -diamyl ester, sodium salt. After 84 days 5 hematological values, 4 blood chemical values, 5 urinalysis values were measured for all animals. 40 tissues have been examined pathologically at the conclusion of the 90-days test period. Organ to body weight and organ to brain weight ratios were calculated. Body weights organ to body weight ratios, hematologic studies and urinalysis were not different between test and control animals. No deaths or abnormal behavioral reactions occurred; no gross pathological findings were noted. Administration of category members at 1% in the diet (10000 ppm equivalent to 750 mg/kg body weight/day) for 90 days in rats did not result in any relevant changes in the subchronic toxicity study. The NOAEL was therefore considered to be ca.750 mg/kg bw/day.

The IBT Report, supplemented by the Intox report and the Validation Report of October 15, 1983, may be considered a valid study and the data and conclusions relied upon.
