The test material and the vehicle was warmed up on a water bath to 50 C for approximately 10 minutes separately and mixed up on a hot stirrer plate.

- Analysis of WS400104 formulations for concentration and homogeneity was performed using validated HPLC method (CiToxLAB study code 11/352-316AN). The concentration analysis was performed on 3 occasions, during the first, fourth and last weeks of the treatment period. Recovery of WS400104 from propylene glycol ranged between 92% and 106% (92% - 104%, 97% - 106%, 96% - 102% respectively to the three analysis performances).

- Details on study design:
- - Dose selection rationale:
The dose finding toxicity study with WS400104 (administered via oral gavage to Wistar rats for 7 consecutive days at dose levels of 100, 300 and 1000 mg/kg bw) showed no effects (7.5.1 Dose Range Finding Study 7 days_WS400104).
Based on these results, the dose levels selected for the main study were 0, 100, 300 and 1000 mg/kg bw/day.
This study (OECD Guideline 422) was conducted to examine both repeated dose toxicity and reproductive/developmental toxicity as an OECD screening combined study . Therefore, animals initially entering the study were divided into toxicity subgroup animals (Satellite females) and reproductive subgroup animals (Main females and males), whereby 5 of the 12 Main males (used for pairing) per dose group formed the toxicity male Subgroup A. - Positive control:

The homogeneity of variance between groups was checked by Bartlett’s homogeneity of variance test. Where no significant heterogeneity was detected, a one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was carried out. If the obtained result was significant, Duncan Multiple Range test was used to access the significance of inter-group differences. Getting significant result at Bartlett’s test,the Kruskal-Wallis analysis of variance was used and the inter-group comparisons were performed using Mann-Whitney U-test. Chi2 test was performed as feasible. - Clinical signs:

- Details on results:
- CLINICAL SIGNS AND MORTALITY
There were no clinical signs related to treatment.
BODY WEIGHT AND WEIGHT GAIN
There was no adverse effect of test material on body weight or body weight gain. Body weights were comparable to the control in all treated groups.
FOOD CONSUMPTION
There was no adverse effect of treatment on food consumption. The individual values remained within the normal ranges.
HAEMATOLOGY
There were no test material related adverse effects at any dose level, all parameters falling with the normal physiological ranges for the age, strain and sex of rats on test.
Slightly lower prothrombin time (PT) values were measured in males at 300 and 1000 mg/kg (Mid and High dose), compared to the control. The mean values were lower by approximately 9% and differences were statistically significant. As the mean and individual values remained within the normal
ranges, the differences were of low magnitude, therefore the finding was not considered toxicologically significant or to reflect an adverse effect of WS400104.
CLINICAL CHEMISTRY
There were no toxicologically significant effects at any dose levels.
URINALYSIS
There was no effect of treatment noted during urinalysis.
NEUROBEHAVIOUR
There were no treatment related effects. There were no toxicologically significant changes in the animal behaviour, general physical condition, in the reactions to different type of stimuli in the control or treated groups. There was no effect of treatment noted during the assessment of foot splay or grip strength.
NECROPSY
There were no macroscopic findings related to treatment.
Observations of some changes were considered incidental.
ORGAN WEIGHTS
There were no toxicologically significant effects on organ weights.
Slightly lower weights of kidneys were recorded for males at 300 and 1000 mg/kg bw/day (Mid and High dose). The changes were not associated with any findings in clinical pathology or microscopic changes and were regarded as physiological variation.
HISTOPATHOLOGY: NON-NEOPLASTIC:
Test material related microscopic findings were found at 1000 mg/kg bw/day (High dose) in stomach, in the form of hyper/paraceratosis of the nonglandular gastric mucosa. This minimal to mild multifocal change occurred in 4 of 5 males and 2 of 5 females.
There were no microscopic findings related to treatment at 100 or 300 mg/kg bw/day. - Dose descriptor:
- NOAEL
- Remarks:
- for systemic toxicity
- Effect level:
- 1 000 mg/kg bw/day (actual dose received)
- Based on:
- test mat.
- Sex:
- male/female
- Basis for effect level:
- other: see 'Remark'
- Critical effects observed:
- not specified
- Conclusions:
- In the report the NOAEL of WS400104 administered by oral route to Wistar rats for 35 consecutive days is considered to be the mid-dose level of 300 mg/kg bw/day.
However, based on the fact that no systemic effects were observed in the study and considering that the effects seen in the pars non-glandularis of the the stomach are indicative of local irritation and that analogous structures do not exist in man it is concluded that the NOAEL of this subacute oral toxicity study is 1000 mg/kg/d for systemic toxicity.

Additional information
The repeated dose toxicity is assessed by using the results of a combined repeated dose and reproduction / developmental screening study performed according to OECD 422 with the source substance Fatty acids, C14-18 and C16-18-unsatd., maleated. Groups of twelve males and females received daily dosages of 100, 300 or 1000 mg/kg test substance bw/day by gavage, respectively. Males were treated for 35 days (14 days pre-mating, 14 days mating/post-mating period followed by an additional week), whereas females received the test material for approx. 47 days (14 days pre-mating, for up to 7 days mating period, through gestation until PPD 4), respectively. Examinations of the parental animals included detailed clinical observations, body weight, food consumption, haematology, clinical chemistry, urinalysis and neurobehavioural examination. At the end of study gross pathology and histopathology was performed. The only substance-related effect have been noted in animals treated with the dose levels of 1000 mg/kg bw/day, where a minimal/mild hyper/paraceratosis of the nonglandular gastric mucosa in stomach in 4 of 5 males and 2 of 5 females have been found. However, this finding was considered to be indicative of local irritation in a structure of the stomach that does not exist in man. Consequently the NOAEL was found to be 1000 mg/kg bw/day, the highest dose tested due to the absence of any systemic effects up to the highest dose.
In a dietary study with natural and synthetic glycerol, goups of 22 rats (Long-Evans)/sex/treatment received 5, 10 and 20% glycerol (natural or synthetic) in their diet (males 2000, 4000 and 8000 mg/kg bw; females 2500, 5000 and 10000 mg/kg bw) for 2 years. Routine clinical observations were made, and bodyweight and food consumption was determined weekly. Deviations from the current OECD guideline included the absence of clinical chemistry investigation and a limited range of haematological and urinary analyses were performed. A limited range of organs was investigated at necropsy and the liver, spleen, adrenals, small intestine, gonads and urinary bladder were examined microscopically. Glycogen and fat content of the liver was determined in surviving rats from the 0 and 20 % dose groups. No individual data were reported. For high dosed animals treatment was discontinued after 1 year (reason not stated in report, presumably as an ‘interim’ assessment for carcinogenicity. No data on mortality and clinical observations were reported. Food consumption was slightly increased in males treated with 5 and 10% natural glycerol. Incidental observations considered by the report-authors to be without relationship to treatment included: bronchiectasis, pneumonia, pulmonary abcesses, hydronephrosis and pyelonephritis. Based on the absence of overt adverse effects and despite the results were not described in detail, the NOAEL could be determined to be 10,000 mg/kg bw/day.
Because the tested substances Fatty acids, C14-18 and C16-18-unsatd., maleated and glycerol represent the breakdown products after hydrolysis by pancreatic lipases, the same result have to be expected for High oleic sunflower oil, maleated.
Justification for selection of repeated dose toxicity via oral route - systemic effects endpoint:
GLP-Guideline study with source substance Fatty acids, C14-18 and C16-18-unsatd., maleated.
Justification for classification or non-classification
The available data on repeated dose toxicity do not meet the criteria for classification according to Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 or Directive 67/548/EEC, and are therefore conclusive but not sufficient for classification.
