Oral Propoxylated nitrilotriethanol (a read-across source for “ethoxylated glycerol,” according to the ECHA dossier) A reproductive/developmental toxicity screen test was performed in accord with OECD TG 421.4 Groups of 12 male and 12 female Wistar rats were administered a propoxylated nitrilotriethanol (average MW 280 g/mol) in water at doses of 0, 100, 300, and 1000 mg/kg bw, by gavage. Concentration of test article and days of dosing were not specified. Typically, in a study following this TG females are dosed throughout the study; however, that was not stated in the summary. The rats in each dose group were allowed to deliver. Body weights were determined daily during pregnancy, and dams were examined shortly after birth and on day 4 postpartum. Transient salivation was noted in both sexes of the parental rats dosed with 1000 mg/kg. Slight body weight loss occurred in females of the 1000 mg/kg dose group during lactation, and marginal body weight gains were noted during the premating period at all doses. Neither significant embryotoxic or teratogenic effects, nor abnormalities, were noted, and no effects on reproductive performance were observed. Four pups from the F1 generation developed filiformed tip at 1000 mg/kg, compared to 3 pups in the control group. No adverse effect levels (NOELs) were determined to be 100 mg/kg in females and 300 mg/kg in males, based on increased incidence of salivation. Under the test conditions, the NOAEL was derived as 1000 mg/kg because reduction of body weight was observed with females at the highest dose group (1000 mg/kg bw/day). The mild weight loss was considered to be a non-adverse treatment-related effect, as it follows a statistically significant increased body weight gain compared to the control group in the premating phase.
