Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
oral: gavage
Vehicle:
CMC (carboxymethyl cellulose)
Details on oral exposure:
Fasting procedure: Food was removed from the cages overnight prior to dosing (Day 1) and was made available approximately 4 h after dosing.
Dosing method: The formulated test substance was administered, by gavage, at a dose volume of 10 mL/kg using a plastic feeding tube attached to a graded syringe
Dose preparation: The test substance was suspended in vehicle i.e. 0.5% aqueous solution of carboxymethylcellulose in concentration of 200 mg/mL.
Doses:
2,000 mg/kg bw
No. of animals per sex per dose:
6
Control animals:
not specified
Details on study design:
- Dosing: First group of 3 female animals was dosed at a level of 2,000 mg/kg bw. No mortality was observed. A second group of 3 female animals was then dosed at the same dose level. No further doses were investigated since the objective of the study had been achieved.
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 d.
- Frequency of observations: Mortality and morbidity-All animals were checked twice daily.
- Body weight: All animals were weighed at allocation to the study (Day 1), on the day of dosing (Day 1) and on Days 2, 8 and 15. Body weight change calculated for Days 2, 8 and 15 of the dosing phase was relevant to Day 1 of the phase.
- Termination: Animals were sacrificed on Day 15 by carbon dioxide narcosis
- Necropsy: Necropsy was carried out on all animals (gross necropsy examination for both external and internal abnormalities, with particular attention to the gastro-intestinal tract).
- Clinical signs observation: Approximately 0.5, 2 and 4 h after dosing and daily thereafter for 14 d.

Interpretation of results:
other: CLP criteria not met
Conclusions:

Executive summary:

A study was conducted to assess the acute oral toxicity of the test substance in rats according to OECD Guideline 423, EU Method B.1 and EPA OPPTS 870.1100, in compliance with GLP. In this study, groups of females were administered the test substance by gavage in a stepwise manner. Treated animals were then observed for mortality, clinical signs and body weight changes for 14 d and were then culled and subjected to gross pathological examination. In the first step, the test substance was administered to a group of 3 females at 2,000 mg/kg bw. A second group of 3 females was then dosed at the same level. No mortality and no signs of toxicity were observed. No abnormalities were recorded at necropsy. Based on the findings of the study, the oral LD50 of the test substance was determined to be >2,000 mg/kg bw (Caruso R, 2015).
