- - Dose selection rationale: The evaluation of data about toxicity of Dicyclohexylamine was performed. This evaluation of toxicity information will serve for the determination of dose levels for Repeated Dose 90-day Oral Toxicity Study and Prenatal Developmental Toxicity Study. The data used for toxicity evaluation of above mentioned substance originated from three sources:
- Original literature data obtained from internet
- Data from toxicological databases – free and commercial
- (Q)SAR Evaluation
According to information mentioned above, especially based on the results of 28-day repeated dose study and reproduction toxicity screening test, the following doses – 0, 40, 80 and 160 mg/kg bw/day were chosen for Prenatal Developmental Toxicity Study.

- For statistical evaluation the software Statgraphic ® Centurion (version XV, USA) was used. The data from control group were compared with data from treated groups. The results statistically significant on probability level 0.05 were indicated.
The parametric tests were used for statistical evaluation of:
- body weight of females
- mean weight of fetuses (males, females, both sex)
- biometry of uterus (absolute and relative weight )
The non-parametric tests were used for statistical evaluation of following parameters:
- number of corpora lutea, number of implantations, number of resorptions
- number of live fetuses (males, females, both sex)
The categorical data (external and internal alteration) was summarised in the form of a summary tables but test of independence between row and column classifications was not implemented by the reason of low incidence of these findings at the treated group against the control. - Indices:
- preimplantation loss - IUDE (Intra Uterine Death Early): (corpora lutea – implantations)/corpora lutea*100
postimplantation loss - IUDL (Intra Uterine Death Late): resorptions/implantations*100 - Historical control data:
- Not available
Results and discussion
Results: maternal animals
Maternal developmental toxicity
- Details on maternal toxic effects:
- Maternal toxic effects:yes
Details on maternal toxic effects:
Strong toxic effect of the test substance on maternal animals was observed. The majority of the endpoints of maternal toxicity (includes mortality, body weight changes, health clinical changes, changed food consumption, changes in uterus weight, pathological findings, changed reproduction parameters) were found out in treated females and they are described below.
The statistically significantly decreased body weight of treated females (related to lower body increment) and seriously changed health condition of females (piloerection, convulsion, tremble, salivation, gibbous posture, apathy, vocalism) at the middle and at the highest dose levels was detected. The number of females with pathological findings was increased in the highest dose. Other finding related with treatment was enlargement of the adrenal gland at the highest dose (releasing hormones in response to stress). The biometry of uterus revealed decreased absolute and slightly decreased relative weight of uterus (except the relative weight of uterus at the middle dose).
Reproduction parameters – number of live foetuses, early and late intra uterine death were evaluated on the basis of examination of uterus content. During examination of reproductive parameters the following changes were recorded - the decreased number of implantations, corpora lutea at the middle and highest dose level and increased number of resorptions at the lowest dose level. The preimplantation loss was increased at the highest dose level and intra uterine death after implantation was increased at the lowest dose level.
Effect levels (maternal animals)
- Dose descriptor:
- NOAEL
- Effect level:
- < 40 mg/kg bw/day (actual dose received)
- Based on:
- test mat.
- Basis for effect level:
- other: maternal toxicity
Results (fetuses)
- Details on embryotoxic / teratogenic effects:
- Embryotoxic / teratogenic effects:no effects
Details on embryotoxic / teratogenic effects:
The low incidence of variations and malformation (in foetuses of treated dams compared to control dam) can not be considered as teratogenic effect of the test substance on early prenatal development of organism in uterus. The causes of their occurrence are questionable, it could be influenced by many factors, one of them is genetic background.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- The toxicity in maternal animals administered by test substance was observed.
The delayed development of foetuses (delayed ossification of cranial, sternum skeleton and sacral vertebrae) was detected at all groups (including control group) but is not induced by the test substance treatment and can be connected with low individual body weight of foetuses. The lowered body weight of foetuses is noticeable especially in highest dose group.
The structural alterations in development were found out in all groups. One variation (wavy ribs) was detected in the litters of lowest dose level and also in control group. The other variations (sternum – misaligned sternebrae and increased number of floating ribs) were sporadically detected in treated groups and not in control. The more serious structural alteration - malformation (fused ribs – cartilaginous fusion) occured only in one foetus from the middle dose level.
The low incidence of variations and malformation (in foetuses of treated dams compared to control dam) can not be considered as teratogenic effect of the test substance on early prenatal development of organism in uterus. The causes of their occurrence are questionable, it could be influenced by many factors, one of them is genetic background.
Therefore the NOAEL (No Observed Adverse Effect Level) for PRENATAL DEVELOPMENT is higher than 160 mg/kg/day.
The toxicity in maternal animals administered by test substance was observed in all treated groups.
The NOAEL (No Observed Adverse Effect Level) for toxicity in PREGNANT FEMALES is less than 40 mg/kg/day. This NOAEL value is based on the death of two females, the statistically significant decreased body weight of females (related to lower body increment), serious changes in health condition status, higher incidence of the pathological findings in the dams, changes in reproduction parameters, and decreased number of live foetuses. - Executive summary:
Based on data from study, there is no need to update or change the classification and/or labelling of the substance.
