| Abstract |
Cefmatilen hydrochloride hydrate (S-1090) was administered daily by gavage to female rats at doses of 100, 300 or 1000 mg potency/kg/day from Days 7 to 17 of pregnancy to assess its effects on dams and on development of the embryo-fetuses and offspring. Loose or reddish-brown feces were observed in dams of all the S-1090 dosing groups. Body weight gain was increased from the early stage of administration to the end of pregnancy, food consumption was transiently decreased at the early stage of administration, and water consumption was increased from the middle to the end of pregnancy in all the S-1090 dosing groups. However, no effects on pregnancy, parturition and lactation were observed. Necrospy revealed an increased cecum weight in pregnant and lactating dams of all the S-1090 dosing groups. No effects of S-1090 were observed in viability, growth, incidences of external, skeletal and visceral anomalies, and degree of ossification in F1 fetuses. No effects of S-1090 were observed in such parameters as viability, incidence of external and skeletal anomalies, physical development, sensory functions/reflexes, behavior and reproductive function in F1 offspring. No adverse effects were observed in F2 offspring. On the basis of these results, the no observed adverse effect levels of S-1090 are estimated to be less than 100 mg potency/kg/day for maternal general toxicity, 1000 mg potency/kg/day for maternal reproductive toxicity and the developmental toxicity in the embryo-fetuses and offspring under the conditions of the present study.
