11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
CHRONIC 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 has been found negative for mutagenicity potential. It has tested negative in: 1) Ames Test, 2) in vivo cytogenetic assay, 3) micronucleus
test (in vivo), and in 4) test for DNA effects - UDS in rats (in vitro).
OTHER
U.S. EPA has evaluated other similar product鈥檚 toxicity as part of the U.S. registration process. EPA requires extensive toxicity tests be performed before
any chemical is approved for use. Based on their review of test results, they have determined that no significant risk to users, the public, or the environment
exists when this product is used as indicated on the product label.
