GLP : yes<br />

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

Remark : For general toxicity: See also Chapter 5.4<br />

Result : LIVER:<br />

Foci/cm³ tissue: 145 versus 17 in samples of control rats<br />

mean volume (mm³): 0.017 versus 0.0 in samples of control rats<br />

Test condition : TEST ORGANISMS<br />

- Age: 45 days<br />

- Weight at study initiation: 1<strong>53</strong> g<br />

- Number of animals: control rats: 10; 20 rats treated with o-toluidine<br />

hydrochloride<br />

ANIMAL MAINTENANCE<br />

Housing: 5/cage<br />

Time held before study start: 9 days<br />

Diet: NIH-07 Open Formula Diet ad libitum<br />

Water: ad libitum<br />

Room air: temperature: 72°F, humidity: ca. 50 %, 10 room air changes per<br />

hour<br />

fluorescent light: 12 hour day cycle<br />

ADMINISTRATION / EXPOSURE<br />

rats were fed with o-toluidine hydrochloride for 26 weeks<br />

CLINICAL OBSERVATIONS AND FREQUENCY: see chapter 5.4<br />

NECROPSY AND HISTOPATHLOGICAL EVALUATION: see chapter 5.4<br />

SUPPLEMENTAL EVALUATION<br />

liver samples were collected and examined for placental glutathione Stransferase-positive<br />

foci<br />

STATISTICAL METHODS:<br />

The number of placental glutathione S-transferase PGST) - positive foci<br />

per cubic centimeter of liver and the volume fraction of liver occupied by<br />

PGST-positive foci were analyzed with Wilcoxon's rank sum test (Conover,<br />

1971)<br />

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

special investigation: only 1 dose used, only male rats;<br />

treatment time was to short for a general carcinogenicity investigation<br />

Flag : Critical study for SIDS endpoint<br />

Species : rat<br />

Sex : male<br />

Strain : other: CD<br />

Route of admin. : oral feed<br />

Exposure period : 18 months<br />

Frequency of treatm. : continuously<br />

Post exposure period : 6 months<br />

Doses : 3 months: 8000, 16000 ppm (approx. 600, 1200 mg/kg bw/day); 15<br />

months: 4000, 8000 ppm (approx. 300, 600 mg/kg bw/day)<br />

Result : positive<br />

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

Year : 1972<br />

GLP : no data<br />

Test substance : other TS: o-Toluidine hydrochloride, purified by treatment with charcoal,<br />

purity controlled by thin layer chromatography (no further data)<br />

Result : o-toluidine was carcinogenic in all groups.<br />
