Toxicological test methods for pesticides registration -
Part 25: Acute delayed neurotoxicity test
1 Scope
This Part of GB/T 15670 specifies the basic principles, methods and requirements for
the acute delayed neurotoxicity test.
This Part applies to the acute delayed neurotoxicity test for pesticides registration.
2 Normative references
The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this
document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references,
the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

3 Terms and definitions
The following terms and definitions are applicable to this document.
3.1
Acute delayed neurotoxicity
A neurological syndrome, mainly manifested by limb weakness and spastic paralysis of
upper motor neurons, that the animals gradually develop in 1 ~ 2 week(s) after
neuropathic target esterase (NTE) vitality inhibition in the early stage, after being
exposed to a large amount of the test substance. Neuropathological examination is
manifested as distal axonal neuropathy of the spinal cord and peripheral nerves.
3.2
Organophosphorus substance
Compounds containing carbon-phosphorus bonds or phosphoric acid derivatives
containing organic groups, mainly including uncharged phosphate,
thioorganophosphate, organic phosphoric anhydride, organic phosphoric acids, amino
phosphate, thiophosphate and amino phosphorothioate, etc., some of which can cause
delayed neurotoxicity.
days. They shall be fed normally, without restriction to water intake. The breeding
environment of test animals shall comply with the relevant provisions of GB 14925.
6.3 Dose and grouping
Generally, there shall be a test substance toxicant-exposure group, a positive control
group and a solvent control group.
The dose for the test substance toxicant-exposure group shall be determined by a pre-
test. In the pre-test, use an appropriate number of hens and dose level to determine the
maximum dose achieved in the formal test. The pre-test shall cause some lethality. A
variety of test methods can be used to estimate the maximum non-lethal dose of the test
substances. Historical data on toxicological information from hens or other animals can
aid in dose selection.
In the formal test, the highest possible dose level shall be selected, and individual
animals are allowed to die; however, a sufficient number of animals shall survive for
biochemical (6) and histopathological examinations (6) at the 21st day. Animals can be
protected from death caused by acute cholinergic effects using atropine sulfate or other
prophylactic drugs known not to interfere with delayed neurotoxicity.
The positive control group shall ensure that at least 6 hens (3 for biochemical tests and
3 for pathological dissection and histopathological examination) are given the positive
substance for delayed neurotoxicity: tri-o-cresylphosphate (TOCP).
For the solvent control group, if the solvent toxicity is known, only the solvent control
group may be set; if the solvent toxicity is unknown, a blank control group shall also
be added.
Limited test: If the test substance is toxicant-exposed to a dose of 2 000 mg/kg body
weight, and no observable toxic effect is caused, or no toxicity is estimated to occur
based on the data obtained from the analysis of structurally related compounds, there is
no need to carry out a test of higher dose. Quantitative testing cannot be used when
higher human exposure levels indicate the need for higher dose testing.
6.4 Ways of toxicant-exposure
Usually, use the oral route, including gavage, capsule swallowing or instillation in the
pharyngeal isthmus, for one-time toxicant-exposure, and overnight fasting is required.
The gavage volume can be given at 5 mL/kg body weight according to the different
doses of each group. In order to combat the death of animals caused by acute cholinergic
effects, at 10 ~ 15 minutes before administration of the test substance, intramuscular
injection of atropine sulfate known not to interfere with delayed neurotoxicity reactions
can be used for protection. The dose of atropine sulfate is 10 mg/kg body weight.
6.5 Observation period and indicators
6.5.1 Clinical observation and examination
Observation shall be started immediately after toxicant-exposure, once every half an
hour after exposure, and once every day after 2 days, until the end of the test on the 21st
day. Detailed records of all poisoning reactions, time, type, severity, and abnormal
behavior of the hens shall be made. Observe the hens outside the cage, and force the
hens to move in order to facilitate the observation of the slightest toxic effects. Remove
the moribund hens, and sacrifice them for gross anatomy.
Ataxia shall be observed and recorded according to the following manifestations: no
abnormality; weak legs, slightly abnormal standing posture and gait; severely abnormal
gait, falling down when walking; able to stand barely, but mostly on the tarsal; unable
to stand, moving the body by flapping the wings.
6.5.2 Weight record
Weigh all hens for one time before toxicant-exposure, and once every week thereafter.
6.5.3 Biochemical examination
Randomly select and kill 6 hens (3 each time) from the toxicant-exposure group and
the solvent control group after 24 h and 48 h of toxicant-exposure, and 3 hens from the
positive control group (set at the same time) after 24 h of toxicant-exposure. Take the
brain and lumbar spinal cord for the measurement of the activity of neuropathy target
esterase (NTE). Observe the time of appearance of cholinergic signs, and assess the
manifestations of poisoning. If it is suggested from the observation of clinical signs of
poisoning that the metabolism of poisons in the body is very slow, it is best to take
tissue samples, 24 h and 72 h (latest time) after toxicant-exposure each time, from 3
hens for biochemical tests.
When necessary, measure the acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity in these tissue
samples. Acetylcholinesterase can spontaneously recover in vivo, thus leading to
underestimation of the activity of acetylcholinesterase inhibitors (test substances).
6.5.4 Histopathological examination
On the 21st day after exposure, the surviving animals shall be subjected to gross
anatomical observation of brain and spinal cord, and histopathological examination of
nerve tissue. These include: oblongata, pons, cerebellum and cerebral cortex, cervical
segment of spinal cord, middle thoracic segment, lumbosacral junction, sciatic nerve,
tibial nerve and their collaterals. Make special staining for myelin sheaths and axons.
6.6 Result statistics and evaluation
6.6.1 The evaluation contents include clinical neurotoxicity manifestations,
biochemical detection and histopathological examination results, and other observable
toxic effects. Occurrence rate, severity, and relevance shall be evaluated.
