PREPARATION OF DOSING SOLUTIONS:
The dose formulations were prepared weekly. The substance was weighed into a glass beaker on a tared Mettler balance and the vehicle added. The mixure was prepared using a megnetic stirrer and stored at room temperature.
Analytical verification of doses or concentrations:
yes
Details on analytical verification of doses or concentrations:
The mean concentrations of the homogeneity samples taken during pretest preparations were found to be 106.7%, 94.3%, and 99.6% of the nominal concentrations of dose group 2 (5.0 mg/mL), dose group 3 (20.0 mg/mL), and dose group 4 (100 mg/mL), respectively.
The mean concentrations of the homogeneity samples were found to be 97.4%, 102.7%, and 104.7% of the nominal concentrations of dose group 2 (5.0 mg/mL), dose group 3 (20.0 mg/mL), and dose group 4 (100 mg/mL), respectively.
The individual concentrations varied in the range from -6% to +3% of the mean concentrations. Therefore, the test item was found to be homogeneously distributed in the vehicle.

Statistics:
The following statistical methods were used to analyze the grip strength, locomotor activity, body weight, organ weights and ratios, as well as:
- The Dunnett-test (many to one t-test) based on a pooled variance estimate were applied if the variables could be assumed to follow a normal distribution for the comparison of the treated groups and the control groups for each sex.
- The Steel-test (many-one rank test) were applied instead of the Dunnett-test when the data can not be assumed to follow a normal distribution.
- Fisher's exact-test were applied to the macroscopic findings.
The following statistical methods were used for statistical analysis of clinical laboratory data:
- Quantitative data were analyzed by a one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) when the variances are considered homogeneous according to Bartlett. Alternatively, if the variances are considered to be heterogenous (p≤0.05), a non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis test was used. Treated groups were compared to the control groups using Dunnett's test if the ANOVA was significant at the 5% level and by Dunn's test in the case of a significant Kruskal-Wallis test (p≤0.05).

Executive summary:

In order to assess the toxicity after repeated oral application of the registration substance a valid subacute oral gavage study was performed. Oral administration of the test substance to Wistar rats at doses of 50, 200 and 1000 mg/kg/day (vehicle: water) resulted in no deaths, no clinical signs of toxicological relevance during daily or weekly observations or during the functional observation battery (week 4), no effects upon food consumption or body weight, no toxicologically relevant differences in hematology, clinical biochemistry or urine analysis, no changes in mean absolute or relative organ weights, and no macroscopcal or microscopcal changes. Based on the results of this study, 1000 mg/kg/day is considered to be the NOAEL of the registration substance.

Additional information

In order to assess the toxicity after repeated oral application of the registration substance a valid 28 -day subacute oral gavage study was performed. Oral administration of the test substance to Wistar rats at doses of 50, 200 and 1000 mg/kg/day (vehicle: water) resulted in no deaths, no clinical signs of toxicological relevance during daily or weekly observations or during the functional observation battery (week 4), no effects upon food consumption or body weight, no toxicologically relevant differences in hematology, clinical biochemistry or urine analysis, no changes in mean absolute or relative organ weights, and no macroscopically or microscopically changes. Based on the results of this study, 1000 mg/kg/day is considered to be the NOAEL of the registration substance.


Justification for selection of repeated dose toxicity via oral route - systemic effects endpoint:
The selected study was performed under GLP and in accordance with OECD TG 407. No other studies are available.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Resulting from the oral subacute toxicity study on the substance registered, the test substance is not to be classified as to its repeated dose toxicity properties.
