LD50

Effect level:

> 15 800 mg/kg bw

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

other: Not classified

Remarks:

Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU

Conclusions:

No deaths were seen in ten rats (mixed sex) given a single administration of undiluted Santicizer 278 by stomach tube at up to 15.8 g/kg bw.

Executive summary:

Undiluted Santicizer 278 was administered to Sprague-Dawley rats (of either sex) by stomach tube at 2.0, 3.16, 5.01, 7.94 or 12.6 g/kg bw, and to 5 rats (3 male and 2 female) at 15.8 g/kg bw. The animals were assessed for toxic symptoms and weight gain during the observation period, and the surviving animals were sacrificed nine days after dosing and examined macroscopically.

 

All ten animals survived the nine day observation period. Reduced appetite and slight weakness were seen for one to three days (numbers of animals and doses not given), whilst weight gain was described as "near normal". At necropsy, two rats had haemorragic areas in the lungs, and all 6 rats receiving 12.6 g/kg bw and above had gaseous intestinal tracts. The viscera of animals receiving up to 7.84 g/kg bw appeared normal. The investigators concluded that “the compound was classed as practically non-toxic by oral ingestion in male and female rats”. Under the conditions of this study, the acute oral LD50 can be considered greater than 2 g/kg bw (but likely much higher). Under the EC CLP regulations, this study would indicate that Santicizer 278 is not classified for acute oral toxicity.
