- The following organ weights were recorded an the scheduled dates of necropsy: Brain, Thymus, Spleen, Ovaries, Heart, Kidneys, Testes, Liver, Adrenals and the Epididymides. The organ to terminal body weight ratlos as well as organ to brain weight ratios were determined. The determination of the terminal body weight was performed immediately prior to necropsy.
- Statistics:
- The following statistical methods were used to analyse the grip strength, locomotor activity, body weight, organ weights and ratios, as well as:
- The Dunnett-test (many to one t-test) based on a pooled variance estimate were applied if the variables could be assumed to follow a normal distribution for the comparison of the treated groups and the control groups for each sex.
- Fisher's exact-test were applied to the macroscopic findings. The following statistical methods were used for statistical analysis of clinical laboratory data:
- Quantitative data were analyzed by a one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) when the variances are considered homogeneous according to Bartlett. - Alternatively, if the variances are considered to be heterogenous (p = 0.05), a non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis test was used. Treated groups were compared to the control groups using Dunnett's test if the ANOVA was significant at the 5% level and by Dunn's test in the case of a significant Kruskal-Wallis test (p = 0.05) - Clinical signs:

- CLINICAL SIGNS AND MORTALITY
Diverse hair loss was noted in single control males, and in males treated with 100 mg/kg/day and 1000 mg/kg/day. Transient incidents of rales were seen in one male and one female treated with 1000 mg/kg/day. These changes were considered to be incidental. Pale faeces were noted in males and females treated with 1000 mg/kg/day from treatment day 4-28 and from recovery day 1-2, and this was considered to be a passive test item-related finding of no toxicological relevance. This finding is often seen in oral gavage studies in which high doses of light-coloured test items are administered. Scattered external findings (such as diverse hair loss and scabbing) were noted in control males as well as rats treated with 100 or 1000 mg/kg/day. Rales were observed in one female treated with 300 mg/kg/day (week 3), and one or two females treated with 1000 mg/kg/day (weeks 2 and 3), and one male treated with 1000 mg/kg/day (week 3). These findings were considered to be incidental changes of na toxicological significance.
BODY WEIGHT AND WEIGHT GAIN
The mean body weights of the test item-treated males and females were generally similar to those of their respective controls during the treatment and recovery periods. In males treated with 1000 mg/kg/day, the mean body weight gain were slightly lower than those of the control males during the recovery period. The difference attained statistical significance (p<0.05) an day 1 of recovery when compared with the control males. This difference was not considered to be test item related. The mean body weight gain values of the females were unaffected during treatment and recovery
FOOD CONSUMPTION AND COMPOUND INTAKE
The mean daily food consumption of the test item-related males compared favourably with those of the control males. The females treated with 1000 mg/kg/day, however, consumed less feed during study (10% less during days 1-8, 13% less during days 8-15, 15% less during days 15-22 and 11% less during days 22-28) when compared with the control females. A relationship with the test item administration could not be eliminated. The mean daily food consumption during the recovery period was similar in all females
HAEMATOLOGY
No statistically significant or toxicologically relevant differences were noted after 4 weeks treatment in the hematology parameters of the test item-treated males_ After 2 weeks' recovery, significant reductions were noted in red blood cell count (p<0.05), hemoglobin (p<0.01), hematocrit (p<0.01) and mean cell volume (p<0.01) of males previously treated with 1000 mg/kg/day when compared with the control males, but all remained within the
range of variation for the historical control data and were considered to be incidental. In females treated with 300 mg/kg/day, the number of high flurorescence reticulocytes was significantly elevated (p<0.05) when compared with the control females. In the absence of a dose response relationship, this finding was considered to be incidental. The recovery females treated previously with 1000 mg/kg/day had significantly lower mean cell volume
(p<0.05) and red cell distribution width (p<0.05), as well as a reduction in the number of "large unstained cells" but these differences were well within the ranges of the historical control data and considered to be fortuitous.
CLINICAL CHEMISTRY
No test item-related differences of toxicological relevance were noted in the clinical biochemistry parameters alter 4 weeks of treatment or 2 weeks of recovery. After 4 weeks of treatment, significantly elevated sodium levels were seen in males treated with 100 mg/kg/day (p<0.05) and 1000 mg/kg/day (p<0.05), whereas significantly lower chloride levels (p<0.05) were seen in the latter males when compared with the controls. The sodium levels exceeded the range of the historical control data, but was considered unlikely to be test item-related. The observed difference in the chloride levels remained within the range of the historical control data and therefore considered to be incidental.
Creatinine was significantly lower in females treated with 1000 mg/kg/day (p<0.05), in the absence of a dose-response relationship, this finding was considered to be incidental. Females treated with 1000 mg/kg/day had significantly elevated lactate dehydrogenase (p<0.05) and significantly elevated creatine kinase (p<0.01) when compared with the control females. These parameters are subject to wide variation and were generally due to a small number of variant animals. These differences were not considered to be of toxicological relevance. Cholesterol levels were significantly lower (p<0.05) alter the recovery period in females treated previously with 1000 mg/kg/day, but as no differences were seen after the treatment period (although females treated with 100 mg/kg/day had a fortuitous dose-unrelated reduction (p<0.05) in cholesterol after the end of the treatment period), this finding was considered to be incidental.
Phospholipids were significantly reduced after 4 weeks' treatment in females treated with 100 mg/kg/day and after two weeks' recovery in the females treated previously with 1000 mg/kg/day (both p<0.05). These changes were not dose related or not seen after the end of the treatment period, respectively, and therefore considered to be inconsequential.
URINALYSIS
A significant amount of ketone were evident after the end of the treatment period in the urine of males (p<0.01) and females (p<0.01) treated with 1000 mg/kg/day. This finding was considered likely to represent metabolic adaptation to the test item, as it was no longer evident after the recovery period. The urinary pH was significantly reduced (p<0.01) after the treatment period in males treated with 1000 mg/kg/day and significantly increased (p<0.05) after the recovery period when compared with the controls, but all differences were within the range of normal variation seen in the historical control data.
NEUROBEHAVIOUR
The mean locomotor activity of the males treated with 1000 mg/kg/day were significantly reduced during the measurement intervals of 0-15 minutes (p<0.01), 15-30 minutes (p<0.01) and 30-45 minutes (p<0.05) and during the overall measurement interval of 0-60 minutes (p<0.01) when compared with the control males. In females treated with 1000 mg/kg/day, significantly reduced mean locomotor activity was noted during 0-15 minutes (p<0.05) and 15-30 minutes (p<0.05). These differences were considered to be test item-related-scattered significant differences in locomotor activity (from 30-45 minutes in males treated with 100 mg/kg/day, from 15-30 minutes in females treated with 100 mg/kg/day and from 30-45 minutes in females treated with 300 mg/kg/day) were considered to be unrelated to the test item treatment and incidental. The mean fore- and hindlimb grip strength values of the test item-treated rats were unaffected.
The mean forelimb grip strength was significantly lower in females treated with 100 mg/kg/day (p<0.01), when compared with the control females. This difference, in the absence of a dose-response relationship, was considered to be an incidental change and unrelated to the treatment with the test item.
ORGAN WEIGHTS
After 4 Weeks the absolute and relative organ weights of the test item-treated rats compared favorably with those of the control rats.
After 6 Weeks the absolute testes weight and the testes-to-brain weight ratio of the males previously treated with 1000 mg/kg/day were significantly higher (p<0.05) than those of the control males.
Similarly, the epididymide-to-body weight ratio was significantly elevated (p<0.05) in these males when compared with the controls. In the absence of microscopical changes, these differences were considered to be incidental. Uni- or bilateral renal pelvis dilation was noted alter 4 weeks' treatment in one control male and one male treated with 100 mg/kg/day. All other animals were without macroscopic findings. No macroscopical findings were noted after 2 weeks of recovery
GROSS PATHOLOGY

HISTOPATHOLOGY: NON-NEOPLASTIC
HISTOPATHOLOGY: NEOPLASTIC
Test item-related changes in rats treated with 1000 mg/kg/day were noted in the forestomach after 4 weeks of treatment. These findings included:
- squamous epithelial hyperplasia of moderate to marked severity in all males and all females;
- increased severity of squamous epithelial hyperplasia at the limiting ridge in all males and all females;
- slight ulceration in one of five males;
- increased severity of inflammatory infiltrates.
Similar, if less severe findings were noted after 4 weeks in the forestomachs of rats treated with 300 mg/kg/day. These findings amounted to:
- slight squamous epithelial hyperplasia in one of five males and one of five females;
- squamous epithelial hyperplasia at the limiting ridge of moderate severity in one of five males and one of five females. The severity of this finding noted in the No test item-related changes were seen after 4 weeks in rats treated with 100 mg/kg/day.
After the recovery period, partial reversabiltiy of the test item-related changes were seen in the affected tissue of rats previously treated with 1000 mg/kg/day. The following forestomach findings remained:
- squamous epithelial hyperplasia of slight to moderate to severity in four of five males and minimal to slight severity in three of five females.remaining animals was comparable to the control rats. - Dose descriptor:

- Conclusions:
- Oral administration ofdecan-1,2-diol to Wistar rats at doses of 100, 300 and 1000 mg/kg/day, for 28 days resulted in no deaths, no clinical signs of toxicological relevance during daily or weekly observations, as well as functional observational battery (including no changes in grip strength), no differences in body weight development, no toxicologically relevant differences in hematology, clinical biochemistry or urinalysis parameters, no differences in absolute or relative organ weights and no test item-related macroscopical changes.
Test item-related findings were generally restricted to reduced mean locomotor activity at 1000 mg/kg/day, reduced food consumption in females at 1000 mg/kg/day, and a dose related severity and incidence of squamous epithelial hyperplasia of the forestomach in rats treated with 300 mg/kg/day or 1000 mg/kg/day dose group, whereas ulceration and inflammation was restricted to rats treated with 1000 mg/kg/day only. Although the squamous epithelial hyperplasia was still present after the recovery period in the animals previously treated with 1000 mg/kg/day, the severity and incidence seen in after the treatment period was largely reversible.
Based on the results of this study, the no-observed-effect-level (NOEL) and the no-observed adverse-effect-level (NOAEL) of decan-1,2 -diol was established as 100 mg/kg body weight/day. - Executive summary:
In this subacute toxicity study, decan-1,2 -diol was administered daily by oral gavage to SPF-bred Wistar rats of both sexes at dose levels of 100, 300 and 1000 mg/kg body weight/day for a period of 28 days. A control group was treated similarly with the vehicle, 2.5% ethanol in distilled water, only. The groups comprised 5 animals per sex which were sacrificed after 28 days of treatment. Additional 5 rats per sex and group were used at 0 and 1000 mg/kg. These animals were treated for 28 days and then allowed a 14-day treatment-free recovery period after which they were sacrificed.
All animals survived until scheduled necropsy.
No clinical signs of toxicological relevance were noted during daily observations or during weekly behavioural observations (weeks 1-3). No clinical signs of toxicological relevance were noted during the functional observational battery (week 4). Grip Strength The fore- and hind limb grip strength values of the test item-treated rats compared favourably with those of the controls. Locomotor Activity The mean locomotor activity of the males and females treated with 1000 mg/kg/day were significantly reduced during several measurement intervals. These differences were considered to be test item-related.
Reduced food consumption was noted during the treatment period in females at 1000 mg/kg/day. During the recovery period, the mean daily food consumption was similar in all females. The mean daily food consumption of the test item-related males compared favourably with those of the control males during treatment and recovery.
The mean body weights of the test item-treated males and females were generally similar to those of their respective controls during the treatment and recovery periods. No test item-related differences of toxicological relevance were noted in the hematology or clinical biochemistry parameters after 4 weeks of treatment or 2 weeks of recovery. After the treatment period, ketone were evident in the urine of males and females treated with 1000 mg/kg/day. This finding was considered likely to represent metabolic adaptation to the test item, as it was no longer evident after the recovery period.
Treatment for 28 days resulted in squamous epithelial hyperplasia, ulceration and inflammation of the forestomach in the 1000 mg/kg/day dose group, whereas treatment with 300 mg/kg/day resulted in squamous epithelial hyperplasia of the forestomach at a reduced severity and incidence. Following a 14-day recovery period, squamous epithelial hyperplasia was still present in the animals previously treated with 1000 mg/kg/day, but the severity and incidence seen in after the treatment period was largely reversible.
Based on the results of this study, the no-observed-effect-level (NOEL) and the no-observed adverse- effect-level (NOAEL) of decan-1,2 -diol was established as 100 mg/kg body weight/day.

Additional information
Oral administration of decan-1,2 -diol to Wistar rats at doses of 100, 300 and 1000 mg/kg/day, for 28 days resulted in no deaths, no clinical signs of toxicological relevance during daily or weekly observations, as well as functional observational battery (including no changes in grip strength), no differences in body weight development, no toxicologically relevant differences in hematology, clinical biochemistry or urinalysis parameters, no differences in absolute or relative organ weights and no test item-related macroscopical changes. Test item-related findings were generally restricted to reduced mean locomotor activity at 1000 mg/kg/day, reduced food consumption in females at 1000 mg/kg/day, and a dose related severity and incidence of squamous epithelial hyperplasia of the forestomach in rats treated with 300 mg/kg/day or 1000 mg/kg/day dose group, whereas ulceration and inflammation was restricted to rats treated with 1000 mg/kg/day only. Although the squamous epithelial hyperplasia was still present after the recovery period in the animals previously treated with 1000 mg/kg/day, the severity and incidence seen in after the treatment period was largely reversible.
Based on the results of this study, the no-observed-effect-level (NOEL) and the no-observed adverse- effect-level (NOAEL) of decan-1,2 -diol was established as 100 mg/kg body weight/day.
Repeat dose studies by the dermal and inhalation routes have not been conducted.
Justification for selection of repeated dose toxicity via oral route - systemic effects endpoint:
Study conducted in accordance with guideline OECD407 and EU B.7 and to GLP
Repeated dose toxicity: via oral route - systemic effects (target organ) digestive: stomach; neurologic: central nervous system
Justification for classification or non-classification
With a NOAEL of 100 mg/kg/day from a 28-day oral exposure, and with only moderate pathological changes in the forestomach of rats dosed orally at 300 mg/kg/day, decan-1,2 -diol was considered to be on the limits of the classification criteria for Specific Target Organ Toxicity -Repeat Exposure (STOT-RE) Category 2 which is generally considered to be within 30 to 300 mg/kg/day for oral administration to rats (ECHA CLP Guidance V4.1 June 2015). However, the pathology in the forestomach was considered not to be of systemic exposure origin and classification for this endpoint was not achieved.
