Results and discussion

Effect levels
Key result
Sex:
female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 2 000 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
Mortality:
not observed
Clinical signs:
It was registered in the treated animals, from thirty minutes after the test item administration, a decrease of the spontaneous activity (6/6) associated with a decrease of the righting reflex (4/6) and a piloerection (6/6). 48 hours after the test item administration, no clinical signs related to the test item administration were noted.
Body weight:
It was noted an absence of the body weight gain in the treated animals, 48 hours after the test item administration. Then the body weight evolution of the animals remained normal throughout the study.
Gross pathology:
The macroscopical examination of the animals at the end of the study did not reveal treatment-related changes.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The LD50 of the test item Bromo(hexahydro-2H-azepin-2-onato-N)magnesium is higher than 2000 mg/kg body weight by oral route in the rat, in accordance with the OECD guideline n°423.
A classification according to (EU) No. 1272/2008 is not required based on this data.
Executive summary:

The LD50 of the test item Bromo(hexahydro-2H-azepin-2-onato-N)magnesium is higher than 2000 mg/kg body weight by oral route in the rat, in accordance with the OECD guideline n°423.

A classification according to (EU) No. 1272/2008 is not required based on this data.
