Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:

TEST ANIMALS
- Source: Wistar derived
- Weight at study initiation: 200-300 grams
- Fasting period before study: 24hours
- Housing: mesh bottom cages
- Diet (e.g. ad libitum): Available after dosage
Water (e.g. ad libitum): Available after dosage

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:

oral: gavage

Vehicle:

water

Details on oral exposure:

VEHICLE
- Concentration in vehicle: 25% in aqueous solution

Doses:

Single dose of 20,000 mg/kg of the test material.

No. of animals per sex per dose:

5 males, 5 females (10).

Control animals:

no

Details on study design:

Ten young adult albino rats weighing between 200-300 grams equally distributed into five males and five females were housed in mesh-bottom cages and fasted 24 hours prior to administrating a single dose of 20,000 mg/kg of the test material. Food and water were available ad libitum after dosage. The animals were observed daily for 14 days following adminsitration of the test material and deaths were recorded.

Results and discussion

Preliminary study:

No mortality was observed at the dosage level of 20,000 mg/kg of body weight. Gross examination at autopsy revealed sporadic visceral hemorrhage.

Effect levels

Sex:

male/female

Dose descriptor:

LD50

Effect level:

Mortality:

None

Clinical signs:

other: No information on clinical signs.

Gross pathology:

Gross examination at autopsy revleaed sporadic visceral hemorrhage.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

not classified

Conclusions:

The approximate acute oral LD50 for TPP in rats is >20,000 mg/kg of body weight.

Executive summary:

In an acute oral toxicity test in rats, ten young adult albino rats weighing between 200-300 grams equally distributed into five males and five females were housed in mesh-bottom cages and fasted 24 hours prior to administrating a single dose of 20,000 mg/kg of the test material TPP (in 25% aqueous solution). The dose was administered via intragastric intubation. Food and water were available ad libitum after dosage. The animals were observed daily for 14 days following administration of the test material and deaths were recorded. No mortality was observed at the administered dose. Gross examination at autopsy revealed sporadic visceral hemorrhage. The approximate acute oral LD50 obtained for the test material TPP is >20,000 mg/kg of body weight.
