Key result

Sex:

male/female

Dose descriptor:

LD50

Effect level:

> 2 000 mg/kg bw

Based on:

test mat.

Remarks on result:

not determinable due to absence of adverse toxic effects

Mortality:

All the rats survived the observation period.

Clinical signs:

No signs of intoxication occurred after treatment.

Body weight:

Body weight development of the treated rats was normal.

Gross pathology:

At necropsy, no organ alterations were seen.

Study design

The test item was tested for acute toxicity in rats after single oral administration of 2000 mg/kg body weight. Directly before administration the test material was prepared with aqueous Methocel K4M Premium solution as vehicle. This GLP study was performed according to the OECD GL 423.

Results

No signs of intoxication occurred after treatment and all the rats survived the observation period. Body weight development of the treated rats was normal. At necropsy, no organ alterations were seen.

Conclusion

For regulatory purposes, the median lethal dose (LD50), after an observation period of 15 days can be declared as > 2000 mg/kg.

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

For regulatory purposes, the median lethal dose (LD50), after an observation period of 15 days can be declared as > 2000 mg/kg.

Executive summary:

This study was performed according to GLP and is fully compliant OECD TG 423. Based on the result of this study, it is concluded that the test material has no acute toxic potential and that the LD50 value is higher than 2000 mg/kg after single oral administration in rats.
