- Housing: In groups of three in Makrolon type-4 cages with wire mesh tops and standard softwood bedding ('Lignocel' Schill AG, CH-4132 Muttenz/Switzerland)
- Diet: ad libitum; pelleted standard Provimi Kliba 3433 rat/mouse maintenance diet, batch no. 23/07 (Provimi Kliba AG, CH-4303 Kaiseraugst/Switzerland)
- Water: ad libitum; community tap water from Füllinsdorf
- Acclimation period: 6 d


ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 22°C ± 3°C
- Humidity (%): 30 -70 %
- Air changes (per hr): 10-15 air changes per h
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): the Iightening was in a 12-h Iight/dark-cycle.

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:

oral: gavage

Vehicle:

corn oil

Details on oral exposure:

Maximum dose volume applied: 2000 mg/kg body weight

Doses:

Dose levels: 2000 mg/kg body weight
Concentrations: 0.2 g/mL
Dosing: one single application by gavage
Dosing volume: 10 mL/kg bw
The test substance was weighed into a tared glass beaker on a suitable precision balance and the vehicle added (weight:volume).
Afterwards, the test substance preparation was warmed up to 50°C. The formulations were prepared using a suitable homogenizer. The test substance preparation was kept at room temperature for cooling and was administered when a temperature between 20°C and 30°C is reached. The temperature was measured before treatment with a thermometer and reached 24°C and 25.8°C.

No. of animals per sex per dose:

3

Control animals:

no

Details on study design:

- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes
All animals were killed at the end of the observation period by carbon dioxide asphyxiation and discarded after macroscopic examinations were performed. No organs or tissues were retained.
- Frequency of observations and weighing:

- Mortality / Viability and Clinical Signs: Daily during the acclimatization period, during the first 30 minutes and at approximately 1, 2, 3 and 5 hours after administration on test day 1 and twice daily during days 2-15. All abnormalities were recorded.

- Body Weights: On test days 1 (prior to administration), 8 and 15.

Statistics:

No statistical analysis was used.

Executive summary:

A study was conducted to determine the acute oral toxicity of the test substance, 'di-C16-18 and C18-unsatd. AAEMIM-MS', according to OECD Guideline 423 (Acute Toxic Class Method), in compliance with GLP. Three FemaleHanRcc: WIST(SPF)rats were administered the test substance by oral gavage at a dose of 2000 mg/kg bw. Following administration, the animals were observed for 14 d and mortality, clinical signs and body weights were recorded daily. At the end of this period, rats were examined for macroscopic and microscopic abnormalities. There was no mortality in this study. No evidence of systemic toxicity was noted during the study period. No toxicologically significant effects on bodyweight were recorded during the study period and no abnormalities were seen at necropsy of animals killed at the end of the study. Under the study conditions, the acute oral LD50 of the substance in rats was determined to be >2000 mg/kg bw (Arcelin, 2010).
