- Housing: The animals were separated by sex and group housed in screen-bottom stainless steel cages.
- Diet (e.g. ad libitum): Laboratory Rodent Diet #5001, PMI Feeds, Inc; available ad libitum during the study and acclimation period.
- Water (e.g. ad libitum): Available ad libitum during the study and acclimation period.
- Acclimation period: The animals were acclimated for a period of at least 7 days.

Vehicle:

other: 0.5% w/v Methylcellulose and 1.0% w/v Tween 80

Details on oral exposure:

VEHICLE
- Concentration in vehicle: 0.25 g test material/mL vehicle
- Amount of vehicle (if gavage): Not specified
- Justification for choice of vehicle: Not specified
- Lot/batch no. (if required): Not specified
- Purity: 0.5% w/v Methylcellulose and 1.0% w/v Tween 80 in distilled water

MAXIMUM DOSE VOLUME APPLIED: 20 mL/kg bw

DOSAGE PREPARATION (if unusual): Not applicable

Doses:

5000 mg/kg bw

No. of animals per sex per dose:

5 male and 5 female

Control animals:

no

Details on study design:

- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: Clinical observations were conducted at approximately 1, 2.5, and 4 hours after test material administration and daily thereafter for 14 days. Mortality checks were conducted twice a day (morning and afternoon) for 13 days after the test material administration and again on the morning of Day 14. Body weights were determined before test material administration (Day 0), at Day 7, and at termination of the experimental phase (Day 14).
- Necropsy of survivors performed: Yes
- Other examinations performed: Clinical signs and body weights were recorded as specified above.

Statistics:

No statistical analyses were required by the protocol.

Results and discussion

Preliminary study:

Not performed

Effect levels

Sex:

male/female

Dose descriptor:

LD50

Effect level:

> 5 000 mg/kg bw

Mortality:

No mortality was observed during the study. The estimated oral LD50 values for male and female rats were determined to be greater than 5000 mg/kg bw.

Clinical signs:

other: All animals appeared normal throughout the study.

Gross pathology:

There were no lesions observed at necropsy.

Other findings:

None reported

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

All animals appeared normal and gained weight during the study. There were no gross lesions observed at the necropsy examinations conducted at termination. The estimated oral LD50 values for male and female rats were determined to be greater than 5000 mg/kg bw.

Executive summary:

The test material, Millad®3988, was evaluated for its acute oral toxicity potential in male and female rats when administered as a single gavage dose at a level of 5000 mg/kg bw. The estimated oral LD50 values for male and female rats were determined to be greater than 5000 mg/kg bw. All animals appeared normal and exhibited body weight gain throughout the study. The gross necropsy examinations at termination revealed no test material related lesions.
