Evaluation year: 1989

ADI:
NO ADI ALLOCATED

Comments:
In a combined carcinogenicity and chronic toxicity study conducted with Sprague Dawley CFY rats, the Committee concluded that the results of this study indicated an effect of ipronidazole on mammary tumor formation in female rats in the high-dose group. However, the high incidence of tumors in the control animals, which is common in this rat strain, precluded the determination of a definite no-observed-effect level. As such, the Committee was not able to establish an ADI because the rat carcinogenicity study was inadequate to determine a no-effect level for ipronidazole. .
