Route of administration:
oral: gavage
Vehicle:
CMC (carboxymethyl cellulose)
Remarks:
2%
Details on exposure:
PREPARATION OF DOSING SOLUTIONS:
- The test substance was suspended.
- Before treatment the suspension was homogeneously dispersed with an Ultra-Turrax and during treatment it was kept stable with a magnetic stirrer.

VEHICLE:
- Carboxymethyl-cellulose 2 % (CMC)
- Volume: 5 mL/kg
Duration and frequency of treatment / exposure:
28 days, daily administration
Doses / concentrationsopen allclose all
Dose / conc.:
0.025 mg/kg bw/day
Dose / conc.:
0.25 mg/kg bw/day
No. of animals per sex per dose / concentration:
4 (see table below)
Control animals:
yes, concurrent no treatment
Details on dosing and sampling:
PHARMACOKINETIC STUDY
- Tissues and body fluids sampled: Liver, Brain, Eyes, Blood, Fat of testes, Storage fat tissue.
- Time and frequency of sampling: after 1, 7, 14 and 28 days

Analytical determination of the test article in the test material:
The test material was homogenized after addition of a measured amount of water using a high speed homogenizer. The slurry was then extracted with
n-hexane and the water free solvent measured using a fluorescence spectrophotometer.
Excitation wave length: 373 nm
Emission wave length: 400 - 450 nm

no

Any other information on results incl. tables

With regard to the detection limits given in the table below no accumulation of the test article took place in the organs and tissues being examinated after 1 day of treatment. In respect of this results, samples of autopsy data taken after 7, 14 and 28 days of treatment were not analyzed.

0.25 < 5
Liver 0.025 < 30
0.25 < 30
Storage Fat Tissue 0.025 < 30

No animal died during the study. The body weight gain of all treated animals was comparable to that of the controls. No toxic signs or symptoms were seen during the study. No substance related gross organ changes were seen.

No toxic signs or symptoms and no mortalities were seen during the study. The test material has therefore practically no toxicity to male rats by the this route of administration at the dose levels 0.25 mg/kg and 0.025 mg/kg.
