===13.1 Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility===
 
Clevidipine displayed positive genotoxic potential in vitro in the Ames test, mouse lymphoma thymidine kinase locus assay, and chromosomal aberration assay but not in vivo in the mouse micronucleus test. Formaldehyde, a metabolite of clevidipine, a known genotoxicant in vitro and a probable human carcinogen, appears to be at least partially responsible for the positive in vitro results. Long-term studies for evaluation of carcinogenic potential have not been performed with clevidipine due to the intended short-term duration of human use. There were no adverse effects on fertility or mating behavior of male rats at clevidipine doses of up to 55 mg/kg/day, approximately equivalent to the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) of 504 mg/day (21 mg/hour x 24 hours) on a body surface area basis. Female rats demonstrated pseudopregnancy and changes in estrus cycle at doses as low as 13 mg/kg/day (about 1/4th the MRHD); however, doses of up to 55 mg/kg/day did not affect mating performance or fertility.
 
===13.3 Developmental Toxicology===
 
When pregnant rats were dosed with clevidipine during late gestation and lactation, there were dose-related increases in mortality, length of gestation and prolonged parturition at dose levels as low as 13 mg/kg/day (about 1/4th the maximum recommended human dose of 504 mg/day (21 mg/hour x 24 hours) on a body surface area basis). When offspring of these dams were mated, they had a conception rate lower than that of controls. Clevidipine crosses the placental membrane in this species and doses of 35 or more mg/kg/day (about 0.7 times the MRHD) administered during organogenesis adversely affected fetal survival. Fetal survival was also adversely affected when pregnant rabbits were treated during organogenesis with 55 mg/kg/day (about twice the MRHD on a body surface area basis).<ref name="dailymed.nlm.nih.gov">{{Cite web  | last =  | first =  | title = CLEVIPREX (CLEVIDIPINE) EMULSION [THE MEDICINES COMPANY] | url = http://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/lookup.cfm?setid=095081a0-1398-11dc-82e1-0002a5d5c51b | publisher =  | date =  | accessdate = 27 February 2014 }}</ref>
