This species and strain of rat has been recognized as appropriate for general and reproduction toxicity studies. The testing laboratory has general and reproduction/developmental historical data in this species from the same strain and source. This animal model has been proven to be susceptible to the effects of reproductive toxicants. - Route of administration:
- oral: gavage
- Vehicle:
- polyethylene glycol
- Details on exposure:
- PREPARATION OF DOSING SOLUTIONS:
Formulations (w/w) were prepared daily within 6h prior to dosing and were homogenized to a visually acceptable level.
Adjustment was made for the density of the test substance (0.944), and the specific gravity of the vehicle (1.125).
VEHICLE
- Justification for use and choice of vehicle (if other than water): Based on trial formulations performed at the testing laboratory.
- Purity: polyethylene glycol 400, specific gravity 1.125 (Merck, Darmstadt, Germany)
Dose volume: 5 mL/kg bw - Details on mating procedure:
- - M/F ratio per cage: 1/1
- Length of cohabitation: max. 14 days
- Proof of pregnancy: evidence of sperm in the vaginal lavage, by staging of the estrous cycle and/or by the appearance of an intravaginal copulatory plug referred to as Day 0 of pregnancy
- After successful mating each pregnant female was caged individually in Macrolon cages (MIII type).
Following a minimum of 14 days of exposure for the males and females, one Repro female was cohabitated with one Main male of the same treatment group, avoiding sibling mating (Charles River supplied non-litter mates). Detection of mating was not confirmed for animal no. 98 which did deliver. The mating date of this animal was estimated at 21 days prior to the actual delivery date. This day was designated Day 0 post-coitum. Once mating had occurred, the males and females were separated. A maximum of 14 days was allowed for mating. After 14 days of mating, females who had not shown evidence of mating were separated from their males. - Analytical verification of doses or concentrations:
- yes
- Details on analytical verification of doses or concentrations:
- Chemical analyses of formulations were conducted once during the study to assess accuracy, homogeneity and stability. Samples of formulations were analysed for homogeneity (highest and lowest concentration) and accuracy of preparation (all concentrations). Stability in vehicle over 6h at room temperature was also determined (highest and lowest concentration).
The accuracy of preparation was considered acceptable if the mean measured concentrations were 85-115% for suspensions. Homogeneity was demonstrated if the coefficient of variation was ≤10%. Formulations were considered stable if the relative difference before and after storage was maximally 10%.
The concentrations analysed in the formulations of Group 2, Group 3 and Group 4 were in agreement with target concentrations (i.e. mean accuracies between 85% and 115%). The formulations of Group 2 and Group 4 were homogeneous (i.e. coefficient of variation ≤10%) and formulations at the entire range were stable when stored at room temperature for at least 6h. - Duration of treatment / exposure:
- 41-49 days,
i.e. during 2 weeks prior to mating, during mating, during post-coitum, and during at least 4 days of lactation. - Frequency of treatment:
- daily, 7 days/week
- Details on study schedule:
- Offspring were euthanized at the age of 4 days.

- Details on study design:
- - Dose selection rationale: Based on the results of a 10-day dose range finding study
- Parental animals: Observations and examinations:
- Male number paired with, mating date, confirmation of pregnancy, and delivery day were recorded.
Pregnant females were examined to detect signs of difficult or prolonged parturition, and cage debris of these females was examined to detect signs of abortion or premature birth. Any deficiencies in maternal care (such as inadequate construction or cleaning of the nest, pups left scattered and cold, physical abuse of pups or apparently inadequate lactation or feeding) were examined.

for further details see Section 7.5.1 - Oestrous cyclicity (parental animals):
- Uterus epithelium was analysed histologically for estrus, proestrus and cystic endometrial glands.
- Sperm parameters (parental animals):
- Parameters examined in [all/P/F1/F2] male parental generations: testis weight, epididymis weight, histology of testes
Of the first 5 Main males of the control and high dose group, additional slides of the testes were prepared to examine staging of spermatogenesis.
The testes were processed, sectioned at 3-4 micrometers, and stained with PAS/haematoxylin. - Litter observations:
- On Day 1 of lactation, all pups were randomized per litter and individually identified by means of subcutaneous injection of Indian ink.
Each litter was examined to determine the following, if practically possible:
Mortality / Viability: The numbers of live and dead pups on Day 1 of lactation and daily thereafter were determined. If possible, defects or cause of death were evaluated.
Clinical signs: At least once daily, detailed clinical observations were made in all animals.
Body weights: Live pups were weighed on Days 1 and 4 of lactation.
Sex: Sex was determined for all pups on Days 1 and 4 of lactation. - Postmortem examinations (parental animals):

The assessment of the integrity of the spermatogenetic cycle did not provide any evidence of impaired spermatogenesis, as explored by histological examination of testes.
REPRODUCTIVE FUNCTION: ESTROUS CYCLE (PARENTAL ANIMALS)
Histological examination of the uterus epithelium and endometrial glands did not reveal any treatment related influences on estrous cycle.
REPRODUCTIVE PERFORMANCE (PARENTAL ANIMALS)
No treatment related effects on reproductive parameters were noted.
The mating, fertility and conception indices, precoital time, and number of corpora lutea and implantation sites were unaffected by treatment.
ORGAN WEIGHTS (PARENTAL ANIMALS)
No treatment-related effects observed.
GROSS PATHOLOGY (PARENTAL ANIMALS)
No treatment-related effects observed.
HISTOPATHOLOGY (PARENTAL ANIMALS)
No treatment-related effects observed.
For further details see 7.5.1
Details on embryotoxic / teratogenic effects:
Number of live pups: 432
Mortality: 1/119, 1/116. 1/126 and 1/71 for the control, 100, 300 and 1000 mg/kg bw/day groups, respectively. This is not considered to be treatment-related, as this falls within the expected range for this strain and age.
A statistically significant lower mean number of living pups at first litter check observed at 1000 mg/kg/day was due to a low number of pups (5 in total) for one female. Since the number of pups of other females of this dose group was within the range considered normal, no toxicological relevance was ascribed to this change.
Viability index, body weights of pups, external examination for abnormalities and clinical signs of pups did not indicate any treatment-related abnormalities
The assessment of the integrity of the spermatogenetic cycle did not provide any evidence of impaired spermatogenesis, as explored by histological examination of testes.
REPRODUCTIVE FUNCTION: ESTROUS CYCLE (PARENTAL ANIMALS)

For further details see 7.5.1
No toxicologically relevant effects on gestation index and duration, parturition, maternal care and early postnatal pup development (mortality, clinical signs, body weight and macroscopy) were observed.
Effect on fertility: via oral route
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no adverse effect observed
- Quality of whole database:
- The available information comprises an dequate, reliable (Klimisch score 1) and consistent study, from a reference substance with similar structure and intrinsic properties. Read-across is justified based on common precursors and breakdown products of hydrolysis and consistent trends in environmental fate, ecotoxicological and toxicological profile (refer to endpoint discussion for further details). The selected to study is thus sufficient to fulfil the standard information requirements set out in Annex VIII-IX, 8.7, in accordance with Annex XI, 1.5, of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006.
Effect on fertility: via inhalation route
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no study available
Effect on fertility: via dermal route
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no study available
Additional information
Analogue justification
No data on the reproduction toxicity of Dub TGI 24 are available. The assessment was therefore based on studies conducted with analogue substances as part of a read across approach, which is in accordance with Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006, Annex XI, 1.5. For each specific endpoint the source substance(s) structurally closest to the target substance is/are chosen for read-across, with due regard to the requirements of adequacy and reliability of the available data. Structural similarities and similarities in properties and/or activities of the source and target substance are the basis of read-across. A detailed justification for the read across approach is provided in the technical dossier (see IUCLID Section 13).
Toxicity to reproduction
CAS 91052-13-0
A combined repeated dose toxicity study with the reproduction / developmental toxicity screening test was performed according to OECD guideline 422 and under GLP conditions in Crl:WI(Han) Wistar rats receiving 100, 300 and 1000 mg/kg bw/day by gavage (please refer to IUCLID section 7.8.1). Dilutions of the test substance in polyethylene glycol or the vehicle alone were administered once daily to groups of 10 male and 5 female rats (main groups) via gavage. In addition, satellite groups of 5 males and 5 females (recovery animals) each for the control and high dose group were used to investigate the reversibility of effects during a 14-day post-exposure recovery period. Furthermore, 10 females (repro animals) were added to each group for the assessment of reproduction and developmental toxicity. The main and recovery groups were exposed for at least 28 days from start of treatment up to termination or start of recovery. Females used for the assessment of reproduction/developmental toxicity were exposed for 41-49 days (during 2 weeks prior to mating, during mating, during post-coitum, and during at least 4 days of lactation). In parental animals, no effects on reproductive function (spermatogenetic and oestrus cycle) or performance (mating, fertility and conception indices; precoital time; number of corpora lutea and implantation sites) were observed after treatment compared with the control animals. The maternal care level was comparable in all groups. The testis weight, epididymis weight, and histological examination of the testes in males as well as the histological examination of the uterus epithelium in females did not reveal any substance-related effects in the parental animals. Therefore, a NOAEL for parental fertility of≥1000 mg/kg bw/day was derived for male and female rats.
CAS 111-03-5
A GLP-compliant combined repeated dose toxicity study with the reproduction / developmental toxicity screening test was performed according to OECD 422 with 2,3-dihydroxypropyl oleate at dose levels of 100, 300 and 1000 mg/kg bw/day (please refer to IUCLID section 7.8.1). Male and female Sprague Dawley rats (12 per sex and group, except for 1000 mg/kg bw/day: 7 males and 12 females) received the test substance in corn oil once daily via gavage. A control group, consisting of 7 males and 12 females, was treated with the vehicle alone. The duration of treatment was 42 days (14 days prior to mating and 28 days thereafter) in males and 42-52 days (from 14 days before mating to day 4 of lactation) in females, respectively. Satellite groups of 5 animals per sex, each for the control and test groups, were used to investigate reversibility of effects during a 14-day post-exposure recovery period. In parental animals, no difference in reproductive function (spermatogenetic and oestrus cycle) was observed compared to controls. Reproductive performance (copulation, fertility, gestation indices) in treated animals was comparable to controls. No substance-related changes in organ weights and histopathology of reproductive organs in males and females were observed. Based on the results of the study, the NOAEL for reproductive toxicity in male and female Sprague Dawley rats is ≥ 1000 mg/kg bw/day.
Overall conclusion for toxicity to reproduction
There are no available studies on the toxicity to reproduction of Dub TGI 24. Therefore analogue read across from 2 source substances was applied. No effects on reproductive parameters/organs were observed in the available screening studies. NOAEL values for reproduction toxicity were all at or above the currently applied limit dose of 1000 mg/kg bw/day. Therefore, no hazard to reproduction was identified. Based on the available data and following the analogue approach, Dub TGI 24 is not expected to be toxic to reproduction/fertility.

Additional information
Analogue justification
No data on the developmental toxicity/teratogenicity of Dub TGI 24 are available. The assessment was therefore based on studies conducted with analogue substances as part of a read across approach, which is in accordance with Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006, Annex XI, 1.5. For each specific endpoint the source substance(s) structurally closest to the target substance is/are chosen for read-across, with due regard to the requirements of adequacy and reliability of the available data. Structural similarities and similarities in properties and/or activities of the source and target substance are the basis of read-across. A detailed justification for the read across approach is provided in the technical dossier (see IUCLID Section 13).
Developmental toxicity/teratogenicity
CAS 91052-13-0
A combined repeated dose toxicity study with the reproduction / developmental toxicity screening test was performed according to OECD guideline 422 and under GLP conditions in Crl:WI(Han) Wistar rats receiving 100, 300 and 1000 mg/kg bw/day (Otterdijk, 2010). Dilutions of the test substance in polyethylene glycol or the vehicle alone were administered once daily to groups of 10 male and 5 female rats (main groups) and 10 females (for the assessment of reproduction and developmental toxicity) via gavage. In addition, satellite groups of 5 males and 5 females (recovery animals) each for the control and high dose group were used to investigate the reversibility of effects during a 14-day post-exposure recovery period. The main and recovery groups were exposed for at least 28 days. Females used for the assessment of reproduction/developmental toxicity were exposed for 41-49 days (during 2 weeks prior to mating, during mating, during post-coitum, and during at least 4 days of lactation). Limited developmental data is assessed in the study, as pups are observed until Day 4 post-parturition. No toxicologically relevant changes in the offspring viability and post-natal loss were observed. The sex ratio, body weight, clinical signs observed and prevalence of external gross abnormalities were comparable between the treatment and control groups. Based on the results of the study, the NOAEL for developmental toxicity in offspring is ≥ 1000 mg/kg bw/day.
CAS 111-03-5
A GLP-compliant combined repeated dose toxicity study with the reproduction / developmental toxicity screening test was performed according to OECD 422 with 2,3-dihydroxypropyl oleate at dose levels of 100, 300 and 1000 mg/kg bw/day (Yamaguchi, 2005). Male and female Sprague Dawley rats (12 per sex and group, except for 1000 mg/kg bw/day: 7 males and 12 females) received the test substance in corn oil once daily via gavage. A control group, consisting of 7 males and 12 females, was treated with the vehicle alone. The duration of treatment was 42 days (14 days prior to mating and 28 days thereafter) in males and 42-52 days (from 14 days before mating to day 4 of lactation) in females, respectively. Satellite groups of 5 animals per sex, each for the control and test groups, were used to investigate reversibility of effects during a 14-day post-exposure recovery period. In offspring, the viability (delivery live birth, post-natal loss indices) in pups of treated dams were comparable to controls. The sex ratio, body weight, clinical signs observed and prevalence of external gross abnormalities were comparable between the treatment and control groups. Based on the results of the study, the NOAEL for developmental toxicity in offspring is ≥ 1000 mg/kg bw/day.
Overall conclusion for developmental toxicity/teratogenicity
There are no available studies on the developmental toxicity and teratogenicity of Dub TGI 24. Therefore analogue read across from 2 source substances was applied from a combined repeated dose toxicity study with the reproduction / developmental toxicity screening test. No hazard to development was identified. Based on the available data and following the analogue approach, the target substance Dub TGI 24 is not expected to be hazardous for in utero development.
Justification for classification or non-classification
According to Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 "General Requirements for Generation of Information on Intrinsic Properties of substances", information on intrinsic properties of substances may be generated by means other than tests e.g. from information from structurally related substances (grouping or read-across), provided that conditions set out in Annex XI are met. Annex XI, "General rules for adaptation of this standard testing regime set out in Annexes VII to X” states that “substances whose physicochemical, toxicological and ecotoxicological properties are likely to be similar or follow a regular pattern as a result of structural similarity may be considered as a group, or ‘category’ of substances. This avoids the need to test every substance for every endpoint". Since the analogue concept is applied to Dub TGI 24, data will be generated from data available for reference source substance(s) to avoid unnecessary animal testing. Additionally, once the analogue read-across concept is applied, substances will be classified and labelled on this basis.
Based on the analogue read-across approach, the available data on toxicity to reproduction does not meet the classification criteria according to Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 and is therefore conclusive but not sufficient for classification. Under Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006, Annex VIII, a pre-natal developmental toxicity study is not required. Under these circumstances, the available data on reproductive and developmental toxicity are considered as sufficient to allow a conclusive evaluation in regard to ‘reproductive toxicity’ as defined in Section 2.1 GHS.
