Executive summary:

A study was performed to assess the acute oral toxicity of the test substance, C8-18 and C18-unsatd. DEA, to Sprague-Dawley CD rats according to OECD Guideline 401 and EU Method B1, in compliance with GLP. A group of 10 fasted animals (five males and five females) was administered a single oral dose of the test substance at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg bw. The animals were observed for 14 d after dosing, then sacrificed and subjected to gross pathological examination. No mortalities and no signs of systemic toxicity were observed during the study. All animals showed expected gain in body weight. No abnormalities were observed at necropsy. Under the study conditions, the LD50 in rats was determined to be >2000 mg/kg bw (Hempstock, 1996).
