11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
SUBCHRONIC TOXICITY [Specific to Active Ingredient(s)]
In a 90-day subchronic feeding study in rats, the NOEL was 50 mg/kg/day. Changes in body weight and organ weights
were observed at higher dose levels. Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) was suggested to be between 250 and 1,000
mg/kg/day. No immunotoxic effects were observed in a study in mice when (S)-Hydroprene was fed (diet) at dose levels
up to and including 1,200 mg/kg/day, continuously for 30 days.
DEVELOPMENTAL/REPRODUCTIVE TOXICITY [Specific to Active Ingredient(s)]
Parental reproductive performance in rats remained unaffected up to a dose level of 7,500 ppm, when evaluated in a 2-
generation reproduction/toxicity study. Histologically, all females of 7,500 ppm dose group had cytoplasmic vacuolation
in the ovaries and regression of corpora lutea, but without affecting reproductive performance. The NOEL for pup
development was 1,500 ppm. No teratogenic or fetotoxic effects were observed in rats when pregnant animals were
exposed (gavage) to (S)-Hydroprene at levels up to 1,000 mg/kg/day (highest dose tested) during days 6 to 15 of
gestation. NOEL for maternal toxicity was 1,000 mg/kg/day. Minor skeletal anomalies observed at lower dose levels
were absent in the high dose animals, indicating an observation unrelated to the dose treatment.
MUTAGENICITY [Specific to Active Ingredient(s)]
(S)-Hydroprene is not a mutagen.
