All animals were observed for toxicity and mortality four times during test day 1 and once daily thereafter during the post-dose observation period of 14 days. Body weights were recorded on days 1, 8 and 15. All animals were necropsied and examined macroscopically. One male and one female animal died on test day 3. The surviving animals showed symptoms of sedation, dyspnea, ataxia (males), curved body position, and ruffled fur, which disappeared within 7 days. All surviving animals gained weight normally. In the 2 animals that died, the following macroscopic organ changes were observed: dark-red mottled lungs, not collapsed, severe meteorism in intestines/stomach with yellowish content. In the animals that were terminated at the end of the test period, the following macroscopic organ changes were observed: dark red mottled lung. Based on the result of this study, the LD50 was determined to exceed 5000 mg/kg body weight.

Additional information

Acute oral toxicity

The acute oral toxicity of the test substance was assessed in rats following OECD guideline 401 and in compliance with GLP. In the limit test, a single dose of 5000 mg/kg body weight in distilled water containing 4% was applied once by gavage to five male and five female Wistar rats following an observation period of 14 days. One male and one female animal died on test day 3. The surviving animals showed symptoms of sedation, dyspnea, ataxia (males), curved body position, and ruffled fur, which disappeared within 7 days. All surviving animals gained weight normally. In the 2 animals that died, the following macroscopic organ changes were observed: dark-red mottled lungs, not collapsed, severe meteorism in intestines/stomach with yellowish content. In the animals that were terminated at the end of the test period, the following macroscopic organ changes were observed: dark red mottled lung. Based on the result of this study, the LD50 was determined to exceed 5000 mg/kg body weight.

This result was confirmed in a second acute toxicity study following OECD guideline study 401. Again, the test substance in distilled water containing 0.5% carboxymethylcellulose and 0.1% polysorbate 80 was applied once by gavage to 5 male and 5 female rats at a dosage of 5000 mg/kg body weight. All animals survived until the end of the study period. Dyspnea, ruffled fur, and curved body position were seen, being common symptoms in acute tests. In addition, sedation was observed on the application day. The animals recovered within 11 days. Body weights increased during the observation period. No deviations from normal morphology were found. Based on the results of this study, the LD50 in the rat was determined to exceed 5000 mg/kg body weight.

 

Acute dermal toxicity

In a dermal acute toxicity study according to OECD guideline 402 and in compliance with GLP, five male and five female Wistar rats were treated occlusively with the test article in a 4% solution of Carboxymethylcellulose sodium salt for 24 hours and observed for 14 days thereafter. There were no deaths. Erythema formation was observed in all animals. The male rats had recovered within 5 days, whereas the females showed erythema until termination of observation. No systemic symptoms were observed. Body weight gain was unaffected during the observation period. All animals appeared normal at necropsy. Under the conditions of this study, the LD50 is greater than 2000 mg/kg bw in male and female rats when topically applied.
