Results and discussion

Effect levels

Key result

Sex:

male/female

Dose descriptor:

LD50

Effect level:

> 2 000 mg/kg bw

Based on:

test mat.

Mortality:

The following death rate was observed: 0 % at 2000 mg/kg.

Clinical signs:

other: Piloerection, hunched posture, and dyspnea were seen, being common symptoms in acute tests. Additionally, reduced locomotor activity was observed in all animals. The animals recovered within 6 to 7 days.

Gross pathology:

A spotted thymus was found in one female. No deviations from normal morphology were found in the remaining animals.

Any other information on results incl. tables

Based on the observations, oral LD50 value was to be greater than 2000 mg/kg bw.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Executive summary:

In an acute oral toxicity study groups of male and female rats (5/sex) were given a single oral gavage dose of the test item (as described in section 1.2) in a standard vehicle at a limit dose of 2000 mg/kg bw and observed for 14 days. No mortality occurred. Piloerection, hunched posture, and dyspnea were seen, being common symptoms in acute tests. Additionally, reduced locomotor activity was observed in all animals. The animals recovered within 6 to 7 days. The body weight gain of the animals was not affected. A spotted thymus was found in one female. No deviations from normal morphology were found in the remaining animals. Based on these observations, the oral LD50 value of the test item was greater than 2000 mg/kg bw.
Oral LD50: > 2000 mg/kg bw (per sex and combined)

This study is classified as acceptable. It satisfies the guideline requirement for an acute oral toxicity study according to OECD 401.
