Studying of the remote effects of the action on the organism of rats of the compaund from the class benzothiadiazinones

Introduction. Currently, many xenobiotics are widely used in industry and agriculture, which can cause serious disorders of pregnancy and fetal development. In this regard, the study of the effect of pesticides on embryogenesis in experiments on laboratory animals is a mandatory stage of sanitary and toxicological research.

The aim of the study was to investigate the long-term effects of a compound of the class of benzothiadiazinones for the assessment of embryotoxic and teratogenic effects, as well as reproductive toxicity by the method of two generations, with repeated oral intake of it into the body of warm-blooded animals (rats), establishing the levels of inactive doses for parents and offspring, and determining the hazard class.

Material and methods. The embryotoxic and teratogenic effects were evaluated in female and male rats with a bodyweight of 230-240 g at the beginning of the study. Tested doses: 0; 40.0; 100.0 and 250.0 mg / kg body weight (1 control and 3 experimental groups, 15 individuals each). Mating of females was performed with intact males in a ratio of 2:1. the Compound was introduced during 20 days of pregnancy. In the dynamics of the experiment, the state and behavior of rats, water and feed consumption, and changes in body weight were observed. The analysis of embryonic material took into account: the absolute and relative mass of internal organs (thymus, heart, lungs, liver, kidneys), to determine the teratogenic effect, a group of fetuses (1/3) was fixed in Buena fluid and used to study internal organs using the Wilson method modified by Dyban the remaining 1/3 of the fetuses was fixed in ethanol to study the state of the skeleton using the Dawson method. When studying the reproductive toxicity of benzothiadiazinones in mammals (rats) using the method of two generations at doses of 0; 15.0; 50.0 and 200.0 mg/kg of body weight (1 control and 3 experimental groups, 20 individuals each). Female F0 of the parent generation was primed during the mating period, pregnancy, and continued until the end of the feeding of the F2 generation. Mating 2:1.

Results. Based on the results of studying the embryotoxic and teratogenic effects, invalid doses were established at the following levels: Noel for the mother – 100.0 mg/kg of body weight; Noel for embryotoxicity - 100.0 mg/kg of body weight; NOEL for teratogenicity - 100.0 mg/kg of body weight. Results on the study of reproductive activity: NOEL for parents and offspring - 50.0 mg/kg of body weight.

Discussion. Studies on the effects of a long-term action of a technical product - “generic”, belonging to the class of benzothiadiazinones, found the studied compound for teratogenic, embryotoxic effects, as well as for its effect on reproductive toxicity, in accordance with the hygienic classification of pesticides by hazard (SanPiN 1.2.2584-10) to be a moderately dangerous compound (hazard class 3). Studied product class benzothiadiazinones on toxicological parameters are identical with the technical product is “originator”.
Conclusion. Thus, the research shows that it is necessary to study the effects of long-term action of xenobiotics on the mammalian body when conducting sanitary and toxicological studies, to increase the reliability of the developed hygiene standards in environmental objects and food products.
