Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Based on the results of this OECD 423 compliant study, it is concluded that the LD50 value for the test item is > 2000 mg/kg body weight when administered as a single dose by oral gavage to female Sprague Dawley rat.
Executive summary:

The test item was evaluated for acute oral toxicity in Sprague Dawley rats according to OECD Guideline No. 423. A starting dose of 300 mg/kg body weight was selected from the fixed dose levels of 5, 50, 300 and 2000 mg/kg body weight as there was no information available on the acute toxicity of the test item. A total of 12 females (3 females each for each Step-I, Step-I confirmation, Step-II and Step-II confirmation) were used for the experiment. All animals of Step-I and Step-I confirmation were administered with 300 mg/kg body weight of the test item and all animals of Step II and Step II confirmation were administered with 2000 mg/kg body weight of the test item by oral route. All animals were observed for clinical signs of toxicity and mortality at 30 to 40 min, 1 hr (±10 mins), 2 hrs (±10 mins), 3 hrs (±10 mins) and 4 hrs (±10 mins) post dosing on day 1 and once daily thereafter for clinical signs of toxicity and twice daily for mortality during the 14 days observation period. Body weight was recorded on day 1 before test item administration and on day 8 and 15 during the observation period. At the end of observation period, all the surviving animals were sacrificed under carbon dioxide anaesthesia, subjected to necropsy and gross pathological examination. In Step-I and Step-I confirmation, the animals dosed with 300 mg/kg body weight did not reveal any clinical signs of toxicity and mortality. In Step-II and Step-II confirmation, the animals dosed with 2000 mg/kg body weight did not reveal any clinical signs of toxicity and mortality. No changes were observed in body weight and percent change in body weight with respect to day 1 at 300 and 2000 mg/kg body weight. All the animals revealed physiologically normal increase in the body weight. No gross pathological changes were observed in any of the animals dosed at 300 and 2000 mg/kg body weight.

Based on the results of this OECD 423 compliant study the LD50 value for the test item is > 2000 mg/kg body weight when administered as a single dose by oral gavage to female Sprague Dawley rat.
