- Details on exposure:
- PREPARATION OF DOSING SOLUTIONS:
The test item was accurately weighed in a beaker and the property of vehicle was added and stirred with a magnetic stirrre to dissolve. Confirming the dissolution, the total volume was transferred to a measuring cylinder. The vehicle was added and mixed by end-over-end rotation to make a prescribed concentration. After preparation, the dosing formulation was divided into brown glass vials and the vials were filled with nitrogen gas.
Dosing formulations were prepared once every 2 to 3 days.
Storage temperature: The dosing formulations after preparation were divided into glass vials for each dosing day, and stored in a cold place, shielded from light in a glass vial filled with nitrogen gas (actual temperature: 3.5°C to 6.2°C, permissible range: 1°C to 15°C, storage area: in a medical refrigerator.

- No. of animals per sex per dose:
- 20
- Control animals:
- yes, concurrent vehicle
- Details on study design:
- - Dose selection rationale: Dose levels were set based on the results of a preliminary dose range-finding study for prenatal developmental oral toxicity in rats which was conducted at the same testing facility. The animals were dosed at 0, 11, 110, 330 and 1000 mg/kg bw/day. Death and moribundity occurred at 330 mg/kg bw/day or more, and low body weight of the live male and female fetuses were noted at 330 mg/kg bw/day. At 110 mg/kg bw/day, low body weight and food consumption were noted in dams, while no effects on embryo/fetal development was noted. At necropsy, reddish patch in the mucosa of the forestomach was observed at 11 mg/kg bw/day and depressed patch in the mucosa of the forestomach was observed at 110 and 330 mg/kg bw/day, suggesting irritation of the test article to the stomach. Therefore, the high dose level of the present study was set at 110 mg/kg bw/day which was expected to develop some toxicity but not to occur death and severe suffering. The middle and low dose levels were set at 31 and 7 mg/kg bw/day, respectively, with a common ratio of about 4.

- Mortality:
- no mortality observed
- Description (incidence):

- Histopathological findings: non-neoplastic:
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- In the stomach, hyperplasia of squamous cells and inflammatory cell infiltrate in the forestomach were observed at ≥ 7 mg/kg bw/day. Erosion/ulcer of the forestomach was observed at ≥ 31 mg/kg bw/day. Hypertrophy of mucous neck cells in the glandular stomach was observed in the 110 mg/kg bw/day group. The changes are indicative of a local direct irritancy of the test item and attributed to treatment.
In the larynx and trachea, erosion/ulcer, focal regeneration of mucosal epithelium, and inflammatory cell infiltrate in the mucosa were observed in the 110 mg/kg bw/day group. These changes were considered irritant changes due to direct exposure of the test article by gavage-related reflux.

Although plasma TSH concentrations at 110 mg/kg bw/day were statistically significantly increased when compared to control animals (+14%), the values were comparable to the historical control values generated in the testing facility. In addition, no treatment-related changes were observed in the thyroid at histopathological examination.
