Test animals

Species:
rat
Strain:
Sprague-Dawley
Sex:
male/female
Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
- healthy albino rats
- weighing 100 - 150 gr
- animals were housed five per wire mesh suspended cage

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
oral: gavage
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Details on oral exposure:
Based on the range finding results, five male and five female rats were gavaged in a similiar manner, see preliminary study.
Doses:
31,600 mg/kg bw
No. of animals per sex per dose:
5 animals per sex
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
Body weights were recorded at dosing and at 48 hours for the survivors.
Clinical signs were noted immediately after dosing and at 4, 24 and 48 hours.
Animals found dead or terminated at 48 hours were subjected to a macroscopic examination of the viscera.
Statistics:
LD50 was calculated according to the method of Litchfield and Wilcoxon, Pharmacol. and Exp. Ther., 96:99, 1949

Results and discussion

Preliminary study:
Following a 7-day period, a series of range finding doses were given by gavage to rats fasted overnight.

Doses in the range finding:

No. Dead/No. Dosed
10,000 mg/kg bw 0/2
6,320 mg/kg bw 0/2
3,980 mg/kg bw 0/2
Effect levels
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:

Effect level:
> 31 600 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
Mortality:
Results of Main Study

No. Dead/No. Dosed
31,600 mg/kg bw 0/10
Clinical signs:
other: Animals at the highest dose appeared normal after dosing.
Gross pathology:
Macroscopic changes were not observed in the viscera.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
The 48 hour LD50 is calculated at greater than 31,600 mg/kg in the rat.
