Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
oral: gavage
Vehicle:
other: purified water
Details on oral exposure:
VEHICLE
- Concentration in vehicle: no data
- Amount of vehicle (if gavage): 10 mL/kg
- Justification for choice of vehicle: no data
- Lot/batch no. (if required): A113; Takasugi Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd
- Purity: no data

MAXIMUM DOSE VOLUME APPLIED: 10 mL/kg

DOSAGE PREPARATION (if unusual): The animals were put on fasting overnight before the administration, and for 3-4 hours after the administration. The administration was done in the morning by single dose forced oral administration using flexible catheter (Terumo Corporation) and syringes (Terumo Corporation).

CLASS METHOD (if applicable)
- Rationale for the selection of the starting dose: not applicable
Doses:
2000 mg/kg
No. of animals per sex per dose:
5 male and 5 female
Control animals:
yes
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: Observed all the samples frequently for up to 6 hours after the administration, then once a day for the next day to 14 days after the administration. All samples were weighed right before the administration, then 1, 3, 7, 14 days after the administration.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes
- Other examinations performed: clinical signs, body weight and autopsy
Statistics:
For weight, the average and the standard deviation were calculated for males and females of each group.

Results and discussion

Effect levels
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 2 000 mg/kg bw
Mortality:
There were no deaths in either male or female animals.
Clinical signs:
other: Ash gray stools were observed 1 day after the administration, but they disappeared in 2 days. The ash grey stools seen were considered to be a change resulting from the color of the test agent since it was white, and toxicological significance is conside
Gross pathology:
No abnormality was seen in either males or females.
Other findings:
no data

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The LD50 of the test substance is higher than 2000 mg/kg body weight by the oral route in the rat.
