Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 4 based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
Acute oral toxicity dose (LD50) value was considered to be 1300 mg/kg in male rats, 1950 mg/kg in female rats and 1650 mg/kg in male and female rats combined.
Executive summary:

Acute oral toxicity study was conducted for the test chemical as per OECD 401. The test chemical was dosed via gavage to groups of five male and five female Sprague-Dawley rats at the test concentration of 1250, 1800 and 2500 mg/kg bw. The rats were observed for 14 days after test chemical administration for mortality and clinical signs. Mortality occurred on days 2 to 3 in 1/5, 5/5, and 5/5 male rats and in 1/5, 0/5, and 5/5 female rats dosed at 1250, 1800, and 2500 mg/kg, respectively. Decreased activity (slight to moderate) was observed up to test day 9 in 7 rats dosed at 1250 mg/kg, in 6 rats dosed at 1800 mg/kg, and in 8 rats dosed at 2500 mg/kg. Decreased activity (extreme) was observed up to test day 2 in 2 rats dosed at 1250 mg/kg and in 3 rats dosed at 2500 mg/kg. Hunched posture was observed on test days 5-8 in one rat dosed at 1800 mg/kg. Salivation (slight to moderate) was observed the day after dosing in one rat dosed at 2500 mg/kg.Under the conditions of the study, the acute oral toxicity dose (LD50) value was considered to be 1300 mg/kg in male rats, 1950 mg/kg in female rats and 1650 mg/kg in male and female rats combined.
