Endpoint summary
Administrative data
Description of key information
One repeated dose toxicity study (28 days) according to OECD guideline 422 was conducted with DINCD and revealed no test-item related signs of toxicity. The NOAEL for systematic toxicity is above the highest administered dose 1000 mg test item/kg b.w./day, p.o..
In addition, a repeated dose toxicity study (90 days) accoding to OECD TG 408 was conducted with DINCD and revealed no test-item related effects. Based on these results, the NOAEL was established as being at least 1000 mg/kg/day for males and females.

Parametric/non-parametric: one-way ANOVA F-test, Levene’s test or Kruskal-Wallis test
Incidence: Fisher’s exact test - Clinical signs:
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- Incidental salivation was seen after dosing among a few animals of all test item groups on one or more days, which was considered not toxicologically relevant. Any other clinical signs (e.g. thin fur cover, skin lesions, scabs) noted during the Dosing Period occurred within the range of background findings to be expected for rats of this age and strain.
- Mortality:
- no mortality observed
- Body weight and weight changes:
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- In males of all treated groups, a general trend towards decreased mean body weights and body weight gains was observed from Day 1 onwards. Changes compared to the concurrent control group were very slight, i.e. statistical significance was reached for mean body weight gain at 300 and 1000 mg/kg/day over Days 36-43 only, and less than 10% decrease in body weight was observed at the end of the dosing period (Day 91). Furthermore, not always a dose-related trend was evident. Based on this, these changes were considered unrelated to treatment with the test item. Any changes observed in treated females when compared to the concurrent controls, including the statistically significantly increase in mean body weight gain at 300 mg/kg/day over Days 22-29, were considered not toxicologically relevant as these occurred in absence of a dose-response.
- Food consumption and compound intake (if feeding study):
- no effects observed
- Ophthalmological findings:
- no effects observed
- Haematological findings:
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- In males treated at 1000 mg/kg/day, a decrease in reticulocyte count (0.85x of control) compared to the control was observed. In absence of changes in correlating parameters, this finding was considered unrelated to treatment with the test item.
Remaining differences in hematology parameters in males and females, regardless of statistical significance, were considered not test item-related based on the absence of a dose response, general overlap of individual values with the range of control values, were of a magnitude of change commonly observed in rats under similar study conditions and/or were considered to have arisen as a result of slightly high control value (basophils in control males). The prolonged mean prothrombin time (PT) observed in females at 300 and 1000 mg/kg/day (both 1.05x of control) was considered to be unrelated to treatment with the test item as this occurred in the absence of a dose-related trend and mean values remained within the range considered normal for females of this age and strain. - Clinical biochemistry findings:
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- In males at 300 and 1000 mg/kg/day, increased calcium concentrations (1.07x and 1.06x of control, respectively) were observed compared to the control. In absence of changes in correlating parameters, this finding was considered unrelated to treatment with the test item.
- Endocrine findings:
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- Triiodothyronine (T3) concentrations were decreased in all test item-treated females (0.91x, 0.90x, 0.86x of control, respectively; not statistically significant). Given the magnitude of change this finding was considered unrelated to treatment with the test item.
- Urinalysis findings:
- not examined
- Behaviour (functional findings):
- no effects observed
- Immunological findings:
- not examined
- Organ weight findings including organ / body weight ratios:
- no effects observed
- Gross pathological findings:
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- No test item-related microscopic observations were observed in males at 100 mg/kg/day and females up to 1000 mg/kg/day.
- Histopathological findings: non-neoplastic:
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- In males treated at 300 and 1000 mg/kg/day, test item-related microscopic findings were noted in the kidney, consisting of an increased incidence of minimal to mild tubular hyaline droplet accumulation (up to a mild degree).
- Histopathological findings: neoplastic:
- no effects observed
- Key result
- Remarks on result:
- not determinable due to absence of adverse toxic effects
- Critical effects observed:
- no
- Conclusions:
- In conclusion, administration of Diisononyl 1,4-cyclohexanedicarboxylate (DINCD) by once
daily oral gavage for 90 days was well tolerated in Wistar Han rats at dose levels of up to
1000 mg/kg/day. Increased minimal to mild tubular hyaline droplets accumulation was
observed in the kidneys of males at 300 and 1000 mg/kg/day, which was considered non-adverse.
No test item-related effects were seen in females up to 1000 mg/kg/day.
Based on these results, the No Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) was established as
being at least 1000 mg/kg/day for males and females. - Endpoint:

Toxicity study with recovery period
20 animals (10 males and 10 females) - Control animals:
- yes, concurrent vehicle
- Details on study design:
- - Dose selection rationale: The dose levels were selected by the Sponsor based on available toxicological data and a 14-day dose range finding study.
In the 14-day dose range finding study, Diisononyl 1,4-cyclohexanedicarboxylate (DINCD) was administered orally to male and female rats at dose levels of 100, 300 or 1000 mg/kg b.w./day for 2 weeks.
No premature deaths, no abnormalities in behaviour, the external appearance or the condition of the faeces and no test item-related influence on body weight or food consumption were noted for the animals of the treatment groups (100, 300 or 1000 mg/kg b.w./day).The macroscopic inspection of the inner organs and tissues revealed no pathological changes. Furthermore, no test item-related influence on the organ weights was noted for the animals of the treatment groups (100, 300 or 1000 mg/kg b.w./day).
Based on the data obtained in this dose range finding study, dose levels of 100, 300 and 1000 mg Diisononyl 1,4-cyclohexanedicarboxylate (DINCD)/kg b.w./day were selected for the present study. - Positive control:

GROSS PATHOLOGY: Yes
HISTOPATHOLOGY: Yes - Clinical signs:
- no effects observed
- Mortality:
- no mortality observed
- Body weight and weight changes:
- no effects observed
- Food consumption and compound intake (if feeding study):
- no effects observed
- Food efficiency:
- no effects observed
- Water consumption and compound intake (if drinking water study):
- no effects observed
- Ophthalmological findings:
- not examined
- Haematological findings:
- no effects observed
- Clinical biochemistry findings:
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- Increased cholesterol concentrations were noted for the male and the female animals in all treatment groups, more pronounced for the female animals than for the male animals. However, as all cholesterol concentrations of the individual female animals were within the LPT background range, this observation was considered as spontaneous and not as test item-related.
Further statistically significant changes that were not considered as test item-related or of toxicological relevance was Alkaline phosphatease (decreased in group 3 females on test day 29). - Urinalysis findings:
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- However, on test day 29 a slight reduction in the pH value was noted for the main study animals of the intermediate and the high dose group and the high dosed animals of the toxicity study, statistically significant for the main study animals at p ≤ 0.01. As fasting results in a reduction of the pH value of the urine in general, the slightly more pronounced reductions of the pH value that were noted at the high dose group and / or the intermediate dose group in comparison to the control group were considered as spontaneous and in the range of normal variability. This was demonstrated by the pH value that was noted for the animals of the control group at the end of the recovery period on test day 66. This pH value was even slightly below the pH value that was noted for the high dosed animals on test day 29 (pH 6.04 in comparison to 6.10).
- Behaviour (functional findings):
- no effects observed
- Immunological findings:
- not examined
- Organ weight findings including organ / body weight ratios:
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- For the female animals slightly reduced absolute and relative heart weights were noted at the high dose level, statistically significant for the absolute heart weight.
As the reduction of the heart weight at the high dose level in comparison to the control group was only slight and all values of the absolute female heart weight at the high dose level were within the LPT background range, this change was considered as spontaneous and not as test item-related.
Furthermore, no differences in the absolute and the relative heart weight were noted between the female animals of the control and the high dose group of the toxicity study at the end of the recovery period. - Gross pathological findings:
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- The following changes were considered as spontaneous and not test item-related:
Male rats
- A cyst in the right kidney of animal no. 51 of the intermediate dose group.
- A reddened discoloured thymus of animal no. 78 of the high dose group.
Female rats
- A small adrenal gland from animal no. 61 of the intermediate dose group.
- The non-pregnant animal no. 88 of the high dose group revealed a partly pale liver. Furthermore, the cervix and the left uterus horn were thickened.
- An irregular shaped spleen with a rough surface was noted for animal no. 94 of the high dose group. - Neuropathological findings:
- no effects observed
- Histopathological findings: non-neoplastic:
- no effects observed
- Histopathological findings: neoplastic:
- no effects observed
- Other effects:
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- Thyroid hormone (T4) determination:
A slight decrease of 15.6% was detected in thyroxine serum levels of the dams after treatment with 1000 mg test item/kg b.w./day. The individual values of the dams showed certain variability. In addition, no dose-response relationship was observed. For this reason, the decrease is considered as spontaneous and not test item-related.
No test item-related differences were noted between the male and female animals of the control group and the male animals of the treatment groups (100, 300 or 1000 mg test item/kg b.w./day). - Key result

- Conclusions:
- In conclusion, the OECD guideline 422 with the test item Diisononyl 1,4-cyclohexanedicarboxylate (DINCD) revealed that the NOAEL for systemic and reproductive toxicity is above 1000 mg test item/kg b.w./day, p.o..
- Executive summary:
The aim of the study was to obtain information on possible effects of the test item on general toxicity,
reproduction and/or development according to OECD guideline 422. The test item Diisononyl 1,4-cyclohexanedicarboxylate (DINCD) was
administered orally to rats at dose levels of 100, 300 or 1000 mg test item/kg b.w./day.
In order to investigate the reversibility of potential signs of general toxicity during
the main study, a toxicity study with a recovery period was additionally performed.
General toxicity - Main study and toxicity study
No premature deaths were noted.
No changes were noted in behaviour, the external appearence or the condition of the faeces.
The neurological screening, the body weight, the food consumption and the
examined haematological, biochemical and urinary parameters revealed no test
item-related differences between the control group and the treatment group.
The final examinations revealed no test item-related findings during the
macroscopic inspection at necropsy, the examination of the organ weights, the
examination of the T4 level and the microscopic examination.
Reproductive toxicity
Parantel - Generation
No test item-related influence was noted on the fertility and the gestation indices,
the pre-coital time and the gestation length.
Pups
No test item-related influence on prenatal development (post-implantation loss,
number of pups born, number of stillbirths, birth and live birth indices) were noted
at any of the tested dose levels.
No test item-related influence onpostnatal development(pup body weight, viability index, the sexual development (ano-genital distance, male nipples counting), gross abnormalities, T4serum levels of pups on lactation days 4 and 13 and TSH serum levels of pups on lactation day 13) was noted at any of the tested dose levels.
The following no-observed-adverse-effect levels (NOAEL) were established:
General toxicity
NOAEL for systemic toxicity above 1000 mg test item/kg b.w./day, p.o.
Reproductive toxicity
a) for reproductive parameters of the parental females
NOAEL above 1000 mg test item/kg b.w./day, p.o.
b) for pre- and postnatal development
- b1) adverse effects on prenatal development (conceptus to birth)
NOAEL above 1000 mg test item/kg b.w./day, p.o.
- b2) adverse effects on postnatal development (pup)
NOAEL 1000 mg test item/kg b.w./day, p.o.
