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

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

DATE: 07.01.2005<br />

CONTROLS<br />

---Subcutaneous fibromas and fibrosarcomas: 0/16--18/23(significant)-<br />

21/24(significant)--18/111<br />

---transitional cell carcinomas of the urinary bladder<br />

0/16--3/23-4/24--5/111<br />

---Multiple tumours<br />

3/16--6/23-8/24(significant)--14/111<br />

There were 6 cases where a fibroma or a fibrosarcoma occurred along with<br />

a transitionalcell carcinoma of the bladder.<br />

In 8 instances pituitary or adrenal adenomas were seen along with<br />

subcutaneous tumours(no details specified)<br />

Test condition : TEST ORGANISMS<br />

- Age: 6-8 weeks<br />

Acclimation period: 2 weeks<br />

- Number of animals: 25 per group<br />

ADMINISTRATION /EXPOSURE<br />

- Diet: purina certified rodent diet<br />

- Doses:<br />

Doses were chosen based on prelimminary 30-day feeding study followed<br />

by a 2-week recovery period (no further information)<br />

---Initially 8000, 16000 ppm (approximately 600, 1200 mg/kg bw/day) over<br />

feeding period of 3 months,<br />

---Reduction of doses after 3 months because weight gain was by 10 %<br />

below that observed in the concurrent controls:<br />

4000, 8000 ppm (approximately 300, 600 mg/kg bw/day)<br />

OBSERVATIONS:<br />

body weights<br />

NECROPSY:<br />

Animals which died during the first 6 month of treatment were discarded<br />

without necropsy.<br />

A complete gross necropsy was done on all animals which died after 6<br />

month on test or were killed at the end of the study.<br />

Tissues were fixed, sectioned, and stained by hematoxylin and eosin.<br />

HISTOPATHOLOGY<br />

Histopathological examinations were done on all grossly abnormal organs,<br />

tumor masses, lung, liver, spleen, kidney, adrenal, heart, bladder, stomach,<br />

intestines, reproductive organs, and pituitaries.<br />

STATISTICS<br />

Statistical analysis of tumors found was performed using the Fisher exact<br />

testwith Bonferroni correction.<br />

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

Study doesn't meet the criteria of today and is reported in brief<br />
