IN-LIFE DATES: From: 2014-07-14 to 2014-08-12

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:

oral: gavage

Vehicle:

unchanged (no vehicle)

Details on oral exposure:

SPECIFIC GRAVITY OF TEST ITEM: 0.893

MAXIMUM DOSE VOLUME APPLIED: 2.24 mL/kg bw

Doses:

2000 mg/kg

No. of animals per sex per dose:

- Sighting test: 1 female/dose
- Main test: 4 females/dose

Control animals:

no

Details on study design:

Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations: Clinical observations were made 0.5, 1, 2, and 4 h after dosing and then daily for fourteen days. Morbidity and mortality checks were made twice daily.
- Frequency of weighing: Individual body weights were recorded on Day 0 (the day of dosing) and on Days 7 and 14.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: Yes; at the end of the observation period the animals were killed by cervical dislocation and were subjected to a macroscopic examination.

Statistics:

Using the mortality data obtained, an estimate of the acute oral median lethal dose (LD50) of the test item was made.

Results and discussion

Preliminary study:

- No mortality or signs of systemic toxicity were noted during the observation period.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

not classified

Remarks:

Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU

Conclusions:

Under the test conditions, the oral LD50 is higher than 2000 mg/kg bw in rats, therefore the substance is not classified according to CLP Regulation (EC) No. 1272 /2008.

Executive summary:

Test Guidance

OECD Guideline 420 and EC Method B.1 bis (Acute Oral Toxicity - Fixed Dose Procedure)

Method and materials

Following a sighting study at the dose level of 2000 mg/kg bw, an addition 4 fasted female Wistar rats (RccHan™:WIST) were given a single oral (gavage) dose of the test material at 2000 mg/kg bw. Animals were then observed for mortality, clinical signs and bodyweights for 14 days and were all sacrificed for macroscopic examination.

Results

No mortality was observed. No signs of systemic toxicity were noted during the observation period. All animals showed expected gains in body weight over the observation period. No abnormalities were observed at necropsy. In this study, the oral LD50 of the test item was considered to be higher than 2000 mg/kg bw in female rats.

Conclusion

Under the test conditions, the oral meadian LD50 is higher than 2000 mg/kg bw in female rats, therefore the substance is not classified according to CLP Regulation (EC) No. 1272 /2008.
