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

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

DATE: 07.01.2005<br />

Reliability : (4) not assignable<br />

insufficient documentation<br />

Flag : Critical study for SIDS endpoint<br />

26.05.2004 (365) (366)<br />

5.8.3 TOXICITY TO REPRODUCTION, OTHER STUDIES<br />

Type : other: repeated dose toxicity<br />

In vitro/in vivo : In vivo<br />

Species : rat<br />

Sex : male<br />

Strain : Fischer 344<br />

Route of admin. : oral feed<br />

Exposure period : 13 and 26 weeks<br />

Frequency of treatm. : continuous<br />

Duration of test : 26 weeks<br />

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

Control group : yes<br />

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

Year : 1992<br />

GLP : yes<br />

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

Remark : Comparative Toxicity and Carcinogenicity Study. In this study onitrotoluene<br />

was administered in the same manner as o-toluidine and in<br />

addition in rats pretreated with antibioticum and therefore alterated<br />

gastrointestinal flora.<br />

Results of investigations on testis find herein, others see Chapters 5.4 and<br />

5.7<br />

Result : TESTIS<br />

--Relative weight of testis was significantly increased with 5.07 versus 4.61<br />

g after 13 weeks and 4.8 versus 4.2 g after 26-weeks<br />

--Degeneration of seminiferous tubules was a unilateral<br />

testicular lesion present in 5% to 10% of rats from each<br />

exposed group. At 26 weeks, 2 of 20 rats had epididymal<br />

mesothelioma (stop-exposure group) and one rat had<br />

epididymal mesothelial cell hyperplasia<br />

(continuous-exposure group).<br />

OTHER: for more information see also chapters 5.4 and 5.7<br />
