VEHICLE
- Justification for use and choice of vehicle: Stability analyses performed previously in conjunction with the method development and validation study (Test Facility Study No. 20326206) demonstrated that the test item was stable in the vehicle when prepared and stored under the same conditions at concentrations bracketing those used in the present study.

- yes
- Details on analytical verification of doses or concentrations:
- Analyses were performed using a laboratory validated analytical procedure.
The concentrations analyzed in the formulations of Group 2, Group 3 and Group 4 were in agreement with target concentrations (i.e., mean sample concentration results were within or equal to 90 - 110% of target concentration). No test material was detected in the Group 1 formulation.

- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- No test material-related clinical signs were noted during daily detailed clinical observations or during weekly arena observations.
Clinical signs noted during the treatment period occurred within the range of background findings to be expected for rats of this age and strain which are housed and treated under the conditions in this study and did not show any apparent dose-related trend. At the incidence observed, these were considered to be unrelated to treatment with the test material. - Mortality:
- no mortality observed
- Description (incidence):
- No mortality occurred during the study period.
- Body weight and weight changes:
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- Body weights and body weight gain of treated animals remained in the same range as controls over the treatment period.
- Food consumption and compound intake (if feeding study):
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- Food consumption before or after correction for body weight of treated animals was similar to the control level over the treatment period.
- Food efficiency:
- not examined
- Water consumption and compound intake (if drinking water study):
- not examined
- Ophthalmological findings:
- not examined
- Haematological findings:
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- No test material-related changes were noted in hematological parameters in males up to 300 mg/kg bw/day and females up to 1000 mg/kg bw/day. In males at 1000 mg/kg bw/day, lower neutrophil count was noted. No corroborating pathological findings were observed, and therefore this change was considered non-adverse.
Remaining differences in hematology parameters, regardless of statistical significance, were considered not test material-related based on the absence of a dose response or general overlap of individual values with the range of control values.
Coagulation parameters of treated rats were considered not to have been affected by treatment with the test material. - Clinical biochemistry findings:
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- No test material-related changes were noted in clinical chemistry parameters in males up to 300 mg/kg bw/day.
The following changes in clinical biochemistry parameters distinguished treated animals from
control animals: Higher urea levels in males at 1000 mg/kg bw/day; Higher total bilirubin (not statistically significant) for females at 100, 300 and 1000 mg/kg bw/day. No corroborating pathological findings were observed, and therefore these changes were considered non-adverse.
Any other significant changes were considered unrelated to the treatment in the absence of a dose-related response or because individual values were within range of control values.
Thyroid hormone
Serum levels of T4 in males were considered unaffected by treatment with the test material up to 1000 mg/kg bw/day. - Endocrine findings:
- not specified
- Description (incidence and severity):

For details, please refer to the RSS in IUCLID section 7.8.1. - Urinalysis findings:
- not examined
- Behaviour (functional findings):
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- Hearing ability, pupillary reflex, static righting reflex and grip strength were considered not to have been affected by treatment with the test material.
Lower hind leg grip strength was noted in females at 100, 300, and 1000 mg/kg bw/day (not always statistically significant). In the absence of a dose-relationship and as mean values are within the historical control range, this was considered not related to treatment with the test material.
Motor activity was considered not to be affected by treatment with the test material. All groups showed a similar motor activity habituation profile with a decreasing trend in activity over the duration of the test period.
In females at all dose levels mean total movements and ambulations were lower (not statistically significant), which could be attributed to one or two animals per group. In the absence of clear dose relationship and as the control means were slightly high, this was considered unrelated to the treatment with the test material. - Immunological findings:
- not examined
- Organ weight findings including organ / body weight ratios:
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- There were no test material-related alterations in organ weights.

- There were no test material-related gross observations.
All the recorded macroscopic findings were within the range of background gross observations encountered in rats of this age and strain. - Neuropathological findings:

Additional information
Combined Repeated Dose Toxicity Study with the Reproduction/Developmental Toxicity Screening Test
The repeat dose and reproductive/developmental toxicity of esterification products of fatty acids, C18 (unsaturated) alkyl and adipic acid with pentaerythritol was investigated in a study performed according to OECD guideline 422 under GLP conditions (Charles River, 2022e). The registration substance was administered once daily, 7 days/week, via gavage to groups of 10 Wistar rats per sex at doses of 100, 300, and 1000 mg/kg bw in corn oil. A control group received the vehicle alone. Males were treated for at least 28 days, including at least 2 weeks of treatment prior to mating and during the mating period (up to and including the day before scheduled necropsy). Females were treated for at least 14 days prior to mating (with the objective of covering at least two complete oestrous cycles), the variable time to conception, the duration of pregnancy and at least 13 days after delivery, up to and including the day before scheduled necropsy. In-life observations and measurements included mortality, clinical observations, body weights, food consumption, water consumption, and functional tests. Clinical pathology included haematology, coagulation, clinical chemistry, and thyroid hormone measurements. Terminal procedures included necropsy, tissue collection, organ weights, histology processing and microscopic evaluation of certain tissues. Parameters and results in relation to reproduction/developmental toxicity are provided in the endpoint summary in IUCLID section 7.8.
No mortality occurred during the study period. No treatment-related effects were seen in clinical signs, body weight, food/water consumption, and functional tests.
No treatment-related effects were seen in coagulation parameters, thyroid hormone levels, macroscopic findings, organ weights, and microscopic observations. A lower neutrophil count was observed in males at 1000 mg/kg bw/day. Higher urea levels were observed in males at 1000 mg/kg bw/day. Higher total bilirubin for females was observed at 100, 300, and 1000 mg/kg bw/day. As no corroborative findings were observed in any other measure, the above changes were considered non-adverse.
Based on the available data, no changes that could be considered adverse were observed at any of the dose levels investigated. Therefore, the No Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) for general systemic toxicity was concluded to be 1000 mg/kg bw/day, for both male and female parental animals (for information on reproduction/developmental toxicity please refer to IUCLID section 7.8).
Justification for classification or non-classification
According to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 the data on repeat dose toxicity are conclusive but not sufficient for classification.
