Abstrakt: Dicyclopentadiene (DCPD) was investigated in a 14-day oral rat toxicity study based on the OECD 407 guideline in combination with plasma metabolomics. Wistar rats received the compound daily via gavage at dose levels of 0, 50 and 150 mg/kg bw. The high dose induced transient clinical signs of toxicity and in males only reduced body weight gain. High dose liver changes were characterized by altered clinical chemistry parameters in both sexes and pathological changes in females. In high dose males an accumulation of alpha-2 u-globulin in the kidney was noted. Comparing the DCPD metabolome with previously established specific metabolome patterns in the MetaMap® Tox data base suggested that the high dose would result in liver enzyme induction leading to increased breakdown of thyroid hormones for males and females. An indication for liver toxicity in males was also noted. Metabolomics also suggested an effect on the functionality of the adrenals in high dose males, which together with published data, is suggestive of a stress related effect in this organ. The results of the present 14-day combined toxicity and metabolome investigations were qualitatively in line with literature data from subchronic oral studies in rats with DCPD. Importantly no other types of organ toxicity, or hormone dysregulation beyond the ones associated with liver enzyme induction and stress were indicated, again in line with results of published 90-day studies. It is therefore suggested that short term "smart" studies, combining classical toxicity with 'omics technologies, could be a 2 R (refine and reduce) new approach method allowing for the reduction of in vivo toxicity testing.
