OECD SIDS o-<strong>TOLUIDINE</strong><br />

5. TOXICITY ID: <strong>95</strong>-<strong>53</strong>-4<br />

DATE: 07.01.2005<br />

24h in two 12h sample portions, N-acetyl-4-amino-m-cresol (NAAC)<br />

excretion was measured<br />

STATISTICAL ANALYSES:<br />

Bartlett's test,<br />

one way analysis of variance,<br />

Dunnett's test,<br />

Least Significant Difference (LSD) test,<br />

Cochran Armitrage test<br />

Reliability : (2) valid with restrictions<br />

no details of histopathological evaluation given<br />

Flag : Critical study for SIDS endpoint<br />

13.12.2004 (156)<br />

Type : Sub-chronic<br />

Species : rat<br />

Sex : male<br />

Strain : Fischer 344<br />

Route of admin. : oral feed<br />

Exposure period : 1) 13 weeks; 2) 13 weeks and 13 weeks recovery; 3) 26 weeks<br />

Frequency of treatm. : continuous<br />

Post exposure period : 13 weeks after 13 week treatment<br />

Doses : 0, 5000 ppm (approximately 375 mg/kg bw/day)<br />

Control group : yes, concurrent no treatment<br />

Method : other: comparative toxicity and cancerogenicity<br />

Year : 1992<br />

GLP : yes<br />

Test substance : other TS: o-Toluidine hydrochloride, purity 100%<br />

Remark : Study Rationale:<br />

Comparative Toxicity and Carcinogenicity Study between o.nitrotoluene<br />

and o-toluidine hydrochloride.<br />

Result : - MORTALITY: no death occurred<br />

TOXIC RESPONSE/EFFECTS BY DOSE LEVEL:<br />

---- Clinical signs:<br />

There were no treatment-related clinical signs reported of the (1) 13-week-<br />

or (2) stop-exposure + recovery- or (3) continuous-exposure groups.<br />

---- Food consumption:<br />

Feed consumption was similar in the corresponding control and exposed<br />

rats<br />

---- Mean Compound consumption (calculated from feed consumption):<br />

comparable in all groups<br />

(1) 301 mg/kg bw/day, (2) 304 mg/kg bw/day, (3) 285 mg/kg bw/day<br />

---- Body weight gain:<br />

Mean body weight gains of rats in all exposed groups were lower than<br />

those of the controls:<br />

(1)13-week: 139 g vs 175 g or<br />

(2) stop-exposure + recovery: 187 g vs 224 g or<br />

(3) 26 weeks: 163 g vs 224 g<br />

1.) 13 weeks treatment: mean body weight gains were 21%<br />

lower for rats exposed to o-toluidine hydrochloride than<br />

those of the respective controls.<br />

2.) Rats in the stop-exposure groups had slightly greater<br />

mean body weight gains than rats continuously exposed for<br />

26 weeks (187 vs 163 g)<br />

3.) In the 26-week continuous-exposure groups, mean<br />

body weight gains were 27% lower for rats exposed to<br />

o-toluidine hydrochloride than the control value.<br />
