No. of animals per sex per dose:

G1 (FTS) - 2000 mg/kg - 3
G2 (FTS) - 300 mg/kg - 3
G1 (STS) - 300 mg/kg - 3

Control animals:

not specified

Details on study design:

- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: Clinical signs and pre-terminal deaths - At each step, the animals were observed five times on test day 1 (day of administration) i.e. at 30 minutes and four times at hourly intervals and once daily during days 2 to 15 post administration. Observations included changes in skin and fur, eyes and mucous membranes, and also respiratory, circulatory, autonomic and central nervous systems and somatomotor activity and behaviour pattern. Attention was directed to the observations of tremors, convulsions, salivation, diarrhoea, lethargy, sleep and coma and all observed clinical signs were recorded.
Body weights - The body weights were recorded on test day 1 (pre-administration), day 8 (7 days post administration) and day 15 (14 days post administration).
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes, the rats surviving to the end of the observation period were euthanised by using isoflurane anaesthesia and subjected to detailed necropsy. Gross pathological findings were recorded and reported. Microscopic examination was not carried out as no gross pathological changes were observed.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

Category 4 based on GHS criteria

Conclusions:

Based on the results of the present study, The LD50 of the given test chemical is 2000 mg/kg. Thus, the test item is classified “Category 4” (300 mg/kg < Acute Toxicity Estimates ≤ 2000 mg/kg) as per Globally Harmonized Classification system of Annex 2d of the Guideline, OECD 423 as there was two mortalities observed at 2000 mg/kg body weight.

Executive summary:

The acute oral toxicity study was conducted to assess the toxicological profile of the test chemical in Wistar rats.

Undiluted test chemical was administered based on the density of the test item i.e., 1.01 g/cm3 at 27°C (as per TIDS) and the dose volume was 1.98 and 0.30 mL/kg to attain the doses of 2000 and 300 mg/kg body weight respectively.

The test item was administered as a single oral gavage to overnight fasted (16 to 18 hours) three female rats (G1-FTS) at the dose of 2000 mg/kg body weight. Clinical signs of Recumbency and ataxia were observed in two rats at 30 minutes to 4 hours, one rat died at 4 hours post dose and the other rat was found dead on day 2. The third rat was normal from day one till end of observation.

Hence as per Annex 2d, three female rats were tested at the next lower dose of 300 mg/kg body weight (G2-FTS). There were no clinical signs and there was no pre-terminal deaths observed. As per annex 2d of the guideline the treatment was continued with three additional rats at the same dose of 300 mg/kg bodyweight (0.30 mL/kg body weight) – G2-STS. There were no clinical signs and there was no pre-terminal deaths observed, as per the scheme – the Annex 2d of the guideline OECD 423, the dosing was stopped.

The rats were observed for mortality and clinical signs for 14 days post treatment. Body weights were recorded prior to dosing on day 1 and again on days 8 and 15. Necropsy was performed for all the rats at termination. All survived rats gained weight during experimental period. There were no gross pathological changes at necropsy.

Based on the results of the present study, The LD50 of the given test chemical is 2000 mg/kg. Thus, the test item is classified “Category 4” (300 mg/kg < Acute Toxicity Estimates ≤ 2000 mg/kg) as per Globally Harmonized Classification system of Annex 2d of the Guideline, OECD 423 as there was two mortalities observed at 2000 mg/kg body weight.
