Executive summary:

A study was conducted to determine the acute oral toxicity of the test substance, C8-18 and C18-unsatd. MEA, to Sprague Dawley rats according to OECD Guideline 401 and EU Method B.1, in compliance with GLP. Following a range-finding study, a group of 10 fasted rats (five males and five females) were given a single oral dose of the test substance as a solution in arachis oil BP at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg bw. The animals were observed for 14 d after dosing and were then killed and subjected to gross pathological examination. There was no mortality in the study and no signs of systemic toxicity were noted. All animals showed an expected gain in body weight apart from one female which showed reduced body weight gain during the second week. No abnormalities were noted at necropsy. Under the study conditions, the LD50 was determined to be >2000 mg/kg bw (Hempstock, 1996).
