Summary Oral administration of T-2998CoC at doses of 0, 150, 50, 1.5 and 0.05 mg/kg/day to pregnant Sprague-Dawley rats during days 6 through 15 of gestation (period of organogenesis) was not embryotoxic and did not affect the ovaries or reproductive tract contents of the dams. Ohe compound did not cause abnormal gross, internal, or skeletal malformations of the fetuses. T-2998CoC was not teratogenic in the rat. T-2998CoC administration was maternally toxic to the 150 mg/kg/day dose group animals. It caused significantly low mean body weights during the dosing interval. Toxic clinical signs and deaths occurred in only the 150 mg/kg/day dose group.

Introduction
This teratology study- in rats was conducted to evaluate the embryotoxic and teratogenic effects of orally administered T-2998CoC-. 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. Two sets of compound administration groups were dosed between April 6 and April 16, 1981. The protocol and list of the principal participants and supervisory personnel can be found in Appendices I and II respectively.
All portions of this study were conducted according to the Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) regulations and the Safety Evaluation Laboratory Standard Operating Procedures (see Appendix III for Quality Assurance Unit statement). The storage location for specimens, raw data and a copy of the final report is maintained in the Safety Evaluation Laboratory's record archives.
Methods
Time mated Sprague Dawley derived CD rats were obtained from Charles River Breeding Laboratory, Wilmington, Massachusetts, and assigned cages according to a computer-generated random numbers table. The rats, ranging in weight from 167 to 230 grams, were then divided into four groups of 22 animals each. The rats were housed individually in hanging stainless steel cages with wire mesh floors and fronts in a temperature and humidity controlled room. Food^ and water were available ad libitum. The lights were on a 12 hour light/dark cycle.
The animals were observed daily from day 3 through day 20 of gestation for abnormal clinical signs. Body weights were recorded on days 3, 6, 9, 12, 15 and 20 of gestation and the rats dosed accordingly using a constant dose volume of 5 ml/kg of body weight. The five groups were dosed with T-2998CoC dissolved in distilled water daily at 0, 150, 5, 1.5 or 0.05 mg/kg/day. T-2998CoC was administered daily by oral intubation with a syringe equipped with a ball-tipped intubation needle to the rats on days 6 through 15 of gestation (day 0 indicated by sperm-positive vaginal smear). T-2998CoC analysis was provided by 3M Commercial Chemical Division, St. Paul, Minnesota (Appendix IV).
All surviving animals were sacrificed on day 20 by cervical dislocation and the ovaries and uterus, including its contents, were examined immediately to determine the following: number of corpora lutea, number of viable fetuses, number of resorption sites, pup weights and sex, and any gross fetal abnormalities. Approximately two-thirds of the fetuses were preserved in alcohol for clearing and staining of the skeleton with alizarin red to detect skeletal abnormalities. Approximately one-third of the fetuses were fixed in Boilin's solution for subsequent free-hand sectioning by the Wilson technique to determine visceral abnormalities. In order to evaluate lens findings seen under the dissecting microscope, all eye sections with findings, plus select eye sections without lens findings were inbedded in paraffin, sectioned at 5-6 microns, stained with hematoxylin and eosin and examined histologically.

Results and Discussion
T-2998CoC administered during the period of organogenesis was toxic to the high dose group (150 mg/kg/day) rats in causing low mean body weights during the dosing period. At gestational days 9, 12 and 15 (Table 1, Appendix V), the high dose group rats weighed significantly less than controls (0 mg/kg/day). The mean maternal body weights of the intermediate (5 mg/kg/day), mid (1.5 mg/kg/day), and low (0.05 mg/kg/day) dose groups were not different from the controls throughout the study.
Abnormal clinical signs were observed and deaths occurred only in the high dose group. Three rats in the high dose group died. All three of the rats that died were ataxic and two of the rats were pale for one to two days before death. The surviving high dose rats did not have abnormal clinical signs and signs of toxicity did not occur in lower dose animals.
T-2998CoC was not embryotoxic and did not affect the ovaries or reproductive tract contents of the dams. The mean number of male, female, total and dead fetuses, the mean number of resorption sites, implantation sites, corpora lutea and mean fetus weights of the four T-2998CoC dose groups were not significantly different from the control (Table 2, Appendix VI).
T-2998CoC did not cause compound-related abnormal gross fetal findings (Table 3), nor did T-2998CoC treatment produce fetal skeletal malformations (Table 4, Appendix VII). A significant higher incidence of the skeletal finding of one sternebrae missing occurred in the high dose group. One sternebrae missing is a minor skeletal aberration and was not considered a malformation in this study. Further, the incidence of the finding of one sternebrae missing was not different among the control group and the lower three treatment groups. The incidences of skeletal findings associated with delayed ossification and rib aberrations were not different among the five treatment groups.
A fetal lens finding was observed to occur in individual fetuses of all dose groups including the control group. The lens findings were localized to the area of the embryonal nucleus, although a variety of morphological appearances were present within that location. The range of morphological appearances as observed under the dissecting microscope included: a discoloration of the lens near the anteriocentral region extending from beneath the lens epithelium to half-way through the lens posteriorly, a cleft at the anteriocentral lens region or a combination of lens discoloration and the presence of a cleft.
The lens findings observed under the dissecting microscope were interpreted histopathologically as either a freehand sectioning artifact of a normal area of primary lens fiber degeneration. The cleft was a space opened up at the vestage of the lens vesicle remnant and consisted of a separation of primary lens fibers of the embryonal nucleus from the lens epithelial cells. The dark streak discoloration of the embryonal nucleus resulted from either the lens being freehand sectioned across the area of normal primary lens fiber degeneration or an artifact being created in the lens during freehand and sectioning accentuating the area of normal primary lens fiber degeneration. The
003037
4. differences in the appearance of the lens artifact in individual fetuses and even among dose groups were largely due to the manner and frequency in which the artifact was created and the limitations inherent in visualizing the artifact under the dissecting microscope. Histologically, the lens artifact was the same in all dose groups regardless of the morphological appearance described under the dissecting microscope. T-2998CoC in utero exposed fetuses did not have compound-related changes in their lenses.

Appendix I
TITLE:
Protocol for Oral Teratology Study of T-2998CoC^- in Rats (Riker Experiment Number 0681TR0110).
OBJECTIVE:
A teratology study will be used to evaluate the embryotoxic and teratogenic effects of orally administered T-2998CoC to pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis. The procedure complies with the general recommendations of the FDA issued in January, 1966 ("Guidelines for Reproduction Studies for Safety Evaluation of Drugs for Human Use"). The study will be conducted according to the 1978 Good Laboratory Practice Regulations and Safety Evaluation Laboratory's Standard Operating Procedures.
SPONSOR:
3M Commercial Chemical Division, St. Paul, Minnesota.
TESTING FACILITY:
Safety Evaluation Laboratory, Riker Laboratories, Inc., St. Paul, Minnesota.
STUDY DIRECTOR:
E. G. Gortner
START OF DOSING: April, 1981.
TEST SYSTEM:
One hundred and ten sexually mature, time mated Sprague-Dawley derived female rats from Charles River Breeding Laboratory will be housed in hanging stainless steel cages with wire mesh floors and fronts in a temperature and humidity controlled room. This strain of rat will be used because of historical control data and time mated females are readily available. Purina Laboratory Chow and water will be available ad libitum. The lights will be on a 12 hour light/dark cycle.
TEST SYSTEM IDENTIFICATION: Each animal will be ear tagged and that number will be indicated on the outside of the cage.
RANDOMIZATION: The animals will be assigned cages according to a computer generated random numbers table.
CONTROL ARTICLE: Corn oil.
TEST ARTICLE: T-2998COC.
ANALYTICAL SPECIFICATIONS: The test article, composition and purity will be determined by the Sponsor (3M Commercial Chemical group) prior to the start of the study and at the end of dosing.
DOSAGE LEVELS AND EXPERIMENT DESIGN: The test article will be suspended in corn oil daily. The test article suspension and control article will be administered by oral intubation to the rats on days 6 through 15 of gestation according to the following:
- FC-143

Group Size
150 mg/kg/day 5 mg/kg/day 1.5 mg/kg/day 0.05 mg/kg/day 0 mg/kg/day
22 22 22 22 22
The oral route of administration will be used because metabolism studies showed radiolabeled T-2998CoC was well absorbed. No dietary contaminants are known to interfere with the test article.
The animals will be observed daily from day 3 through day 20 of gestation for abnormal clinical signs. Body weights will be recorded on days 3/ 6, 9, 12, 15 and 20 of pregnancy and the rats dosed accordingly using a constant dose volume of 5 ml/kg of body weight.
The females will be killed on day 20 and the ovaries, uterus and its contents will be examined to determine: number of corpora lutea, number of fetuses (live and dead), number of resorption sites, number of implantation sites, pup weight and gross abnormalities. Approximately one-third of the pups will be fixed in Bouin's solution for subsequent free-hand sectioning by the Wilson technique to determine any visceral abnormalities using a dissecting microscope. Select eye sections can be sent to histopath for microscopic examination as deemed necessary by the study director. The remaining approximately two-thirds of the pups will be fixed in ethyl alcohol for subsequent skeletal examination after clearing and staining with alizarin red.
DATA ANALYSIS AND FINAL REPORT: The proposed statistical methods to be used for analysis of the data are: Dunnett's t test for dam and pup weights, number of fetuses, number of resorption sits, number of implantation sites and number of corpora lutea; Chi square for percent abnormalities. The proposed date for the final report is 2-3 months after detailed pup examinations have been completed (approximately third quarter, 1981).
Amendment to Protocol
dhe control article for Experiment Number 0681TR0110 (oral teratology study of T-2998CoC in rats) will be changed from corn oil to water. The test article will not be suspended in corn oil daily as noted in the protocol, but solutions will be made by dissolving T-2998CoC in water by Dr. V. Pothapragada and the solution for the whole study will be submitted to 3M Commercial Chemical group for clearance before the start of the study and at the end of dosing.

Results and Discussion
T-2998CoC administered during the period of organogenesis was toxic to the high dose group (150 mg/kg/day) rats in causing low mean body weights during the dosing period. At gestational days 9, 12 and 15 (Table 1, Appendix V), the high dose group rats weighed significantly less than controls (0 mg/kg/day). The mean maternal body weights of the intermediate (5 mg/kg/day), mid (1.5 mg/kg/day), and low (0.05 mg/kg/day) dose groups were not different from the controls throughout the study.
Abnormal clinical signs were observed and deaths occurred only in the high dose group. Three rats in the high dose group died. All three of the rats that died were ataxic and two of the rats were pale for one to two days before death. The surviving high dose rats did not have abnormal clinical signs and signs of toxicity did not occur in lower dose animals.
T-2998CoC was not embryotoxic and did not affect the ovaries or reproductive tract contents of the dams. The mean number of male, female, total and dead fetuses, the mean number of resorption sites, implantation sites, corpora lutea and mean fetus weights of the four T-2998CoC dose groups were not significantly different from the control (Table 2, Appendix VI).
T-2998CoC did not cause compound-related abnormal gross fetal findings (Table 3), nor did T-2998CoC treatment produce fetal skeletal malformations (Table 4, Appendix VII). A significant higher incidence of the skeletal finding of one sternebrae missing occurred in the high dose group. One sternebrae missing is a minor skeletal aberration and was not considered a malformation in this study. Further, the incidence of the finding of one sternebrae missing was not different among the control group and the lower three treatment groups. The incidences of skeletal findings associated with delayed ossification and rib aberrations were not different among the five treatment groups.
Fetal lens findings were observed to occur in individual fetuses of all dose groups including the control group. The lens findings were localized to the area of the embryonal nucleus, although a variety of morphological appearances were present within that location. The range of morphological appearances as observed under the dissecting microscope included: a discoloration of the lens near the anteriocentral region extending from beneath the lens epithelium to half-way through the lens posteriorly, a cleft at the anteriocentral lens region or a combination of lens discoloration and the presence of a cleft.
The lens findings observed under the dissecting microscope were interpreted histopathologically as a freehand sectioning artifact of a normal area of primary lens fiber degeneration. The cleft was a space opened up at the vestage of the lens vesicle remnant and consisted of a separation of primary lens fibers of the embryonal nucleus from the lens epithelial cells. The dark streak discoloration of the embryonal nucleus resulted from either the lens being freehand sectioned across the area of normal primary lens fiber degeneration or an artifact being created in the lens during freehand sectioning accentuating the area of normal primary lens fiber degeneration.

TITLE: Protocol for Oral Teratology Study of T2998CoC^ in Rats (Riker Experiment Number 0681TR0110).
OBJECTIVE:
A teratology study will be used to evaluate the embryotoxic and teratogenic effects of orally administered T2998CoC to pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis. The procedure complies with the general recomendations of the FDA issued in January, 1966 ("Guidelines for Reproduction Studies for Safety Evaluation of Drugs for Human Use"). The study will be conducted according to the 1978 Good Laboratory Practice Regulations and Safety Evaluation Laboratory's Standard Operating Procedures.
SPONSOR:
3M Commercial Chemical Division, St. Paul, Minnesota.
TESTING FACILITY: Safety Evaluation Laboratory, Riker Laboratories, Inc., St. Paul, Minnesota.
STUDY DIRECTOR: E. G. Gortner
START OF DOSING: April, 1981.
TEST SYSTEM: One hundred and ten sexually mature, time mated Sprague-Dawley derived female rats from Charles River Breeding Laboratory will be housed in hanging stainless steel cages with wire mesh floors and fronts in a temperature and humidity controlled room. This strain of rat will be used because of historical control data and time mated females are readily available. Purina Laboratory Chow and water will be available ad libitum. The lights will be on a 12 hour light/dark cycle.
TEST SYSTEM IDENTIFICATION: Each animal will be ear tagged and that number will be indicated on the outside of the cage.
RANDOMIZATION: The animals will be assigned cages according to a computer-generated random numbers table.
CONTROL ARTICLE: Corn oil.
TEST ARTICLE: T2998CoC.
ANALYTICAL SPECIFICATIONS: The test article, composition and purity will be determined by the Sponsor (3M Commercial Chemical group) prior to the start of the study and at the end of dosing.
DOSAGE LEVELS AND EXPERIMENT DESIGN: The test article will be suspended in corn oil daily. The test article suspension and control article will be administered by oral intubation to the rats on days 6 through 15 of gestation according to the following:
- FC-143
C03072
' f.*
Dose Level 150 mg/kg/day 5 mg/kg/day 1.5 mg/kg/day 0.05 mg/kg/day 0 mg/kg/day
Group Size 22 22 22 22 22
The oral route of administration will be used because metabolism studies showed radiolabeled T2998CoC was well absorbed. Mo dietary contaminants are known to interfere with the test article.
The animals will be observed daily from day 3 through day 20 of gestation for abnormal clinical signs. Body weights will be recorded on days 3, 6, 9, 12, 15 and 20 of pregnancy and the rats dosed accordingly using a constant dose volume of 5 ml/kg of body weight.
The females will be killed on day 20 and the ovaries, uterus and its contents will be examined to determine: number of corpora lutea, number of fetuses (live and dead), number of resorption sites, number of implantation sites, pup weight and gross abnormalities. Approximately one-third of the pups will be fixed in Bouin's solution for subsequent free-hand sectioning by the Wilson technique to determine any visceral abnormalities using a dissecting microscope. Select eye sections can be sent to histopath of microscopic examination as deemed necessary by the study director. The remaining approximately two-thirds of the pups will be fixed in ethyl alcohol for subsequent skeletal examination after clearing and staining with alizarin red.
DATA ANALYSIS AND FINAL REPORT: The proposed statistical methods to be used for analysis of the data are: Dunnett's t test for dam and pup weights, number of fetuses, number of resorption sites, number of implantation sites and number of corpora lutea; Chi square for percent abnormalities. The proposed date for the final report is 2-3 months after detailed pup examinations have been completed (approximately third quarter, 1981).
