Results and discussion

Effect levels
Key result
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
ca. 2 000 mg/kg bw
Based on:
not specified
Mortality:
One male and one female animal dies after the administration of 2000 mg of the test substance/ kg body weight. One female rat died after 200 mg of the test substance/ kg body weight. The maximum non- lethal dos of the test item after a single i.p administration was 200 mg/kg in make rats and 25 mg/kg in female rats.
Clinical signs:
The body weight gain observed in the animals on day 7 and on say 14 of the test was within the normal range for male and female rats of the age and strain.

The main clinical findings from 200 mg of the test item/ kg body weight onwards were apathy, disturbances in gait and ruffles fur (only observed after 200 mg/kg). In addition, prone position, disturbances in respiration, drawn – in flanks, palid skin and a decreased skin temperature were observed after administration of 200 mg of the test substance/kg mainly in male animals.

Female animals dosed with 25 mg/kg and male animals dosed 200 mg/kg showed no compound- related findings

All surviving animals were without findings from day 3 onwards.
Body weight:
The body weight gain observed in the animals on day 7 and on say 14 of the test was within the normal range for male and female rats of the age and strain.
Gross pathology:
Paleness of the kidneys in one male and one female animal at 2000 mg/kg each and in one female animal at 200 mg/kg is suspected treatment related.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The maximum non-lethal dose of the test item after a single i.p. administration was 200 mg/kg in male rats and 25 mg/kg in female rats.The approximate LD50 of the test item after a single i.p. administration is in the magnitude of 2000 mg/kg. Paleness of the kidneys in one male and one female animal at 2000 mg/kg each and in one female animal at 200 mg/kg is suspected treatment related.
Executive summary:

The maximum non-lethal dose of the test item after a single i.p. administration was 200 mg/kg in male rats and 25 mg/kg in female rats.The approximate LD50 of the test item after a single i.p. administration is in the magnitude of 2000 mg/kg. Paleness of the kidneys in one male and one female animal at 2000 mg/kg each and in one female animal at 200 mg/kg is suspected treatment related.
