Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
oral: gavage
Vehicle:
other: corn oil with the aid of acetone
Details on oral exposure:
Rats received single oral dose by gavage.
For oral administration lactofen was melted at 70 °C and formulated in corn oil with the aid of 10 % acetone (dried with molecular sieve). the applied formulations were well mixed before administration. The formulations for administration were prepared at room temperature. The administration volume was 10 ml/kg bw
Doses:
3 females 2000 mg/kg bw
3 females 300 mg/kg bw
3 females 300 mg/kg bw
No. of animals per sex per dose:
3 females
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
Rats received single oral dose by gavage.
For oral administration lactofen was melted at 70 °C and formulated in corn oil with the aid of 10 % acetone (dried with molecular sieve). The applied formulations were well mixed before administration. The formulations for administration were prepared at room temperature. The administration volume was 10 ml/kg bw
The starting dose level should be that which is most likely to produce mortality in some of the dosed animals. Absence or presence of compound-related mortality of the amimals dosed at one step will determine the rext step.
no further testing is needed
dosing of three additional animals wth the the same dose
dosing of three addional animals at the next higher or lower dose level
Statistics:
The LD50 was estimated according to OECD Guideline for testing of chemicals No. 423

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
According to OECD Guideline 423 the LD50 cut-off of lactofen is 500 mg/kg bw
Executive summary:

Female Wistar rats were tested for acute oral toxicity according to OECD TG 423 and GLP. All animals dosed with 2000 mg/kg bw died during the observation period; the clinical signs were piloerection, abdominal position and labored breathing, The gross pathological examination revealed enlarged urinary bladderm spotted liver and pale spoted kidneys. The dose of 300 mg /kg bw was tolerated without any findings. According to OECD Guideline 423 the LD50 cut-off of lactofen is 500 mg/kg bw
