introduction
a Th oral rangefinder study was conducted to determine the upper dose level of T-i3l4lCoC!@for a subsequent oral teratology study in rabbits. The study was sponsored by 3M Commercial Chemical Division, St. Paul, Minnesota and was conducted by the Safety Evaluation Laboratory, Riker Laboratories, Inc., St. Paul, Minnesota. The study was conducted in accordance with the Safety Evaluation IAboratory's Standard Cperating Procedures for such studies. The storage location for the raw data and a copy of the final report is maintained in the Safety Evaluation Laboratory's record archives.
Methods
Forty-eight sexually mature New Zealand White/Minikin derived female rabbits from Dutchland Laboratories, Inc., were used in the study. Each female was injected with I mg of pituitary luteinizing hormone via the ear vein before breeding. The does were then artificially inseminated with 0.5 ml of pooled diluted semen. The day of insemination was designated day 0 of pregnancy.
Eight groups of 6 animals were dosed with T-3l4lCoC dissolved daily in distilled water at 300, 150, 100, 50, 25 or 10 mg/kg/day. There were two sets of compound administration groups. Concurrent control animals dosed at 0 mg/kg/day T-3l4lCoC in distilled water were present with both groups. All animals were dosed during days 6 through 18 of gestation by oral intubation with a syringe and rubber catheter using a constant dose volume of I ml/kg. The rabbits were housed individually in hanging stainless steel cages with wire mesh floors in a temperature and humidity controlled room. Purina Rabbit Chow and water were available ad libitum. The lights were on a 12 hour ligbt/dark cycle. All animals were observed daily from day 3 of gestation until termination for abnormal clinical signs. Body weights were recorded on days 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, IS and 29 of gestation and the rabbits were dosed accordingly. All surviving animals were euthanatized on gestational day 29 and each uterus, including its contents, was examined immediately to determine if the animal was pregnant.
Results and Discussion
First Group of Pregnant Rabbits (300, 150, 100 or 0 mg/kg/day T-3l4lCoC)
The oral administration of T-3l4lCoC at doses of 300, 150 or 100 mg/kg/day resulted in compound-related deaths. All 300 mg/kg/day rabbits died within the first two days of dosing (Table 1). All 150 mg/kg/day rabbits died within the first four days of dosing. The two surviving 100 mg/kg/day rabbits were terminated on the fifth day of dosing after four rabbits had already died. The compound was very toxic to pregnant rabbits at levels of 100 mg/kg/day and higher. The resulting deaths occurred rapid enough to preclude body weight

effects, clinical signs and often necropsy findings. All of the dose levels used in the first group of pregnant rabbits were too high to be tolerated during a rabbit teratology study. Therefore, a second group of rabbits was dosed at lower compound levels.
Second Group of Pre$Mant Rabbits (50, 25, 10 and 0 mg/kg/day T-3l4lCoC)
The oral administration of T-314ICoC at doses of 50, 25 or 10 mg/kg/day did not result in compound-related deaths. One death in the 0 mg/kg/day group was due to an intubation error. No signs of either abortion or resorption were observed in the study. One 25 and one 0 mg/kg/day rabbit each had necropsy findings of abortion or resorption. A body weight loss occurred in all three compound levels between days six and nine of gestation. The loss in body weight coincided with clinical signs of either no or few stools indicating the rabbits were off feed. The body weight changes of all three compound levels between days six and nine of gestation were significantly different from the 0 mg/kg/day group (Table 2). The compound-treated rabbits recovered from the initial weight loss caused by compound administration and by day 18 of gestation were gaining more body weight than the 0 mg/kg/day group.
Conclusion
The objective of determining an upper dose level for an oral rabbit teratology study was met with the second group of rabbits. The results suggest that the 50 mg/kg/day dose level would be an appropriate high dose in a rabbit teratology study because a toxic effect of body weight loss occurred in the absence of compound-related deaths.
