Liver, kidney, ovary and thymus weight was measured after removal, adrenal gland, brain, heart and spleen with a fixed 10% neutral buffered formalin solution.

Statistics:

In either test, significant risk factors were less than 5%.
1) multiple comparison test

Significant difference test, Bartlett's test and the homoscedasticity of Law, Law-way layout analysis of variance if the variance 1) and, if significant Dunnett method 2) or Scheff Method 3) were using. However, if the variance was not approved, the analysis method using centrally located position (Kruskal-Wallis test of 4)) and a significant if you use the ranking method or Dunnett Scheff Method was used.
2) χ ^ 2 test
Copulation rate [(number of established animal mating / number of live animals) × 100], fertility [(number of female fertility / Establishment of animal mating) × 100], the birth rate [(number of female newborns / number of female fertility) × 100] is, χ ^ 2 using the test.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

In an OECD 422 study in rats, the oral repeated dose NOAEL was determined to be 300 mg/kg based on body weights.

Executive summary:

According to the OECD test guidelines for combined repeated dose toxicity study with the reproductive/developmental toxicity screening test [OECD TG 422], SD (Crj: CD) rats (12 animals/dose/sex) were administrated with this substance by gavage at doses of 0 (vehicle; water for injection), 30, 100, 300, and 1,000 mg/kg bw/day (12 animal/dose/sex). Males were dosed for a total of 49 days beginning 14 days before mating, and females were dosed for total of 41 to 48 days starting from 14 days before mating to day 4 of lactation throughout the mating and pregnancy period.

At 1000 mg/kg bw/day for males, two of the 12 animals died. Salivation, decreases in locomotor activity, ptosis were observed. The decrease in hematocrit and the tendencies for decrease in erythrocyte (RBC) and hemoglobin were found in haematological examination. The statistically significant increase in the relative liver weights was observed in organ weight. At that for females, one of the 12 animals died. Salivation, decreases in locomotor activity, ptosis were observed. The other significant toxicological changes were not observed. 

At 0, 30, 100 and 300 mg/kg bw/day for both sexes, no animals died and no abnormal clinical changes were observed. Moreover, significant toxicological changes were not observed in body and organ weight, food consumption, haematological examination, blood chemical examination, necropsy, and histopathological examination. Therefore, no adverse effect was observed in both sexes. 

The NOAELs for the repeated dose toxicity are considered to be 300 mg/kg bw/day for both sexes.
