Results and discussion

Preliminary study:

5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 mL/kg bw ( 2 rats per dose): all animals died between days 2 and 3. Prostration, piloerection, diarrhoea and abdominal swelling were noted prior to death.
3, 4, 5, 10 mL/kg bw (10 rats per dose): all animals died between days 2 and 3. Prostration, piloerection, diarrhoea and abdominal swelling were noted prior to death.
1 mL/kg bw (10 rats per dose): no fatalities

Effect levels

Sex:

male

Dose descriptor:

LD50

Effect level:

1 255 mg/kg bw

Based on:

test mat.

95% CL:

> 1 031 - < 1 534

Remarks on result:

other: All administered doses were expressed in volume. The final result (ie LD50) was expressed in weight taking into account that the relative density of the test item was 0.897 (see relative density chapter 4.4).

Mortality:

At 0.5 ml/kg bw : no deaths occured.
At 1 ml/kg bw : 2 rats died on day 4.
At 1.5 ml/kg bw : 4 rats died on day 7.
At 2 ml/kg bw : 7 rats died on day 4 and 2 additional rats died on day 7.
At 3 ml/kg bw : all rats died on day 4

Clinical signs:

other: - At 0.5 ml/kg bw : no clinical effects were noted all along the study. - At 1 ml/kg bw : a slight drowsiness was in all animals observed 1h and 3h after administration. 24 hours later (day 1) , drowsiness was still observed and mucoid diarrhoea was note

Gross pathology:

No macroscopic abnormalities were observed at necropsy.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

other: Toxicity category 4 / Harmful

Remarks:

Criteria used for interpretation of results: other: CLP (Reg. 1272/2008/EC) and Directive 67/548/EEC

Conclusions:

Under these experimental conditions, the oral LD50 of the test item was 1255 (1031 - 1534) mg/kg bw in male rats with 95% confidence interval limits

Executive summary:

The acute oral toxicity of the test item was evaluated in rats according to a method similar to OECD guideline 401 and in compliance with the principles of Good Laboratory Practice Regulations.

The test item was administered undiluted by oral route (gavage) to groups of ten male fasted Sprague-Dawley rats. In the preliminary experiment, the test item was administered at the dose-levels of 1, 3,4, 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 mL/kg bw (relative density 0.897) and the animals were observed for 7 days. Based on these results, the dose-levels selected for the main experiment were 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 and 3.0 mL/kg bw of the undiluted test item.

Clinical signs, mortality and body weight were checked for a period of up to 14 days following the single administration of the test item. All animals were subjected to necropsy. The LD50 was calculated according to Litchfield & Wilcoxon (J. Pharmacol. Exp. Therap., 1949, 96, 99-113).

No deaths occured at 0.5 ml/kg bw. At 1, 1,5 and 2ml/kg bw, 2, 4 and 9 rats died from day 4 to day 7 respectively. At 3 ml/kg bw, all rats died on day 4.

Generally clinical signs were drowsiness and mucoid diarrhoea (at 1 mL/kg bw and higher), prostration and piloerection (at 1.5 ml/kg bw and higher), abdominal swelling and dizziness (at 3 ml/kg bw). no clinical sighns were observed at 0.5 ml/kg bw.

No macroscopic abnormalities were observed at necropsy in any dose-groups.

Under these experimental conditions, the oral LD50 of the test item was 1255 (1031 - 1534) mg/kg bw in male rats with 95% confidence interval limits
