Based on these results, a preliminary test carried out at doses of 0, 100, 300 and 1000 mg / kg. Therefore, as in the preliminary test, high dose of 1000 mg / kg was also set, divided by the common ratio of about 3, and 300 and 100 mg / kg were set.
- Rationale for animal assignment (if not random): The animals were stratified based on the body weight at the start of administration, and 12 animals per group were sorted by a random sampling method.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- NOAEL was considered to be 1000 mg/kg/day for P and F1 generation when male and female rats treated with 2-Amino-5-methylbenzenesulfonic acid orally by gavage for approx 68 days.
- Executive summary:
In a Preliminary Reproduction Toxicity Screening Test,Crj:CD(SD) male and female rat were treated with 2-Amino-5-methylbenzenesulfonic acidin the concentration of 0 (vehicle), 100, 300, 1000 mg/kg/day orally by gavage in sesame oil for male consecutive 48 days of 14 days before mating and 14 days of mating period and 20 days after the end of the mating period. The female administration period was 14 days before the mating and during the mating period (maximum 14 days) and through 3 days of postpartum feeding (41 to 46 days) throughout the gestation period of the female. The females who did not deliver after copulation establishment were for 41 and 43 days up to the day before dissection on 25th gestation. Females that failed to mate were consecutive 48 days of 20 days after the mating period. No mortality was observed in treated male and female rats as compared to control. In male rats, 1 ocular secretion in the 100 mg / kg group of male, 1 hair loss in the 300 mg / kg group, 1 in the 1000 mg / kg group Crust and hair loss were observed in one case and in females, hair removal was observed in the 100 mg / kg group through pregnancy and nursing periods. In male, no effect on body weight and in female at 100 and 1000 mg / kg, statistically significant decrease in body weight were observed only on the 4th day of nursing compared to the control group. However, since there was no obvious difference on the other measurement day and it was a change only for 1 day, and since there was no obvious change in body weight gain during the nursing period, the influence of administration of the test substance It was not thought to be an accidental change.In male rats at 1000 mg/kg bw, statistically significant increase in daily food intake for the 8 to 15 days and the cumulative food consumption from 1 to 15 days and in female rats, no effect on food consumption was observed as compared to control. Similarly,No reproductive effect on copulation, implantation and sexual cycle, gestation length, number of corpora lutea or implantations, implantation index, gestation index, delivery index, purturition or maternal behavior, numbers of offspring or live offspring, sex ratio and live birth index were observed in treated rats as compared to control. At 300 and 1000 mg/kg bw, statistically significant decrease in absolute epididymis weight were observed but no relative weight change and no effect on testicular weight were observed in treated male rats as compared to control. No gross pathological changes were attributed to the administration of the test substance. At 1000 mg/kg bw, cell infiltration of the epididymis, case in skin erosion and squamous cell epithelial hyperplasia , 1 atrophy of the thymus, 1 lung inflammation, 1 stomach ulcer and 1 part of the adrenal cortex one hypertrophy were observed in male rats. At 300 mg/kg bw, seminiferous tubular atrophy of the testes, pulmonary inflammation, 1 case in the liver necrosis and 1 atrophy of the thymus were observed in male rats. At 100 mg/kg bw, 1 Young yolk sac cysts in females who spontaneously delivered, so it was considered that there was no effect on the ovaries of the test substances. 1 Skin inflammatory infiltration and squamous epithelial hyperplasia were observed. In males and females who did not mate, seminiferous tubular atrophy of the testes was observed in males. No abnormal findings were observed in females. No abnormal findings were observed in males who did not establish pregnancy and infertile females. Atrophy of the thymus and purulent inflammation of the uterus were observed in one case in all the dead animals. No abnormal finding was observed in the other case. In addition,No effect on Viability and body weight of neonates were observed on day 0 and 4 andnoclinical sign were observed inneonates as compared to control.No abnormal findings were observed in females. At autopsy on 4th day of nursing, in the male, thymus neck remnant was 1 in the control group, 1 in the renal pelvic enlargement in the 300 mg / kg group, in the female in the control group and in the 300 mg / kg group in the renal pelvic enlargement in the kidney It was recognized in 1 and 3 cases respectively. In both cases, expression was expressed in a few cases, which was not related to administration of the test substance. Therefore, NOAEL was considered to be 1000 mg/kg/day for P and F1 generation when male and female rats treated with2-Amino-5-methylbenzenesulfonic acidorally bygavage for approx68 days.
