Details on results:
Clinical observations: At 900 mg/kg, 1 male was found dead on day 8. 1 male was killed in extremis on day 9. No deaths occurred at 200 or 50 mg/kg.General signs of toxicity were observed in animals at 900 mg/kg. No general signs at 200 or 50 mg/kg.Bodyweight:Body weight of males only, at 900 mg/kg, were significantly lower than controls over the study period. No significant effect on body weight at 200 or 50 mg/kg.Laboratory findings:At 900 mg/kg, 1 male was found dead on day 8. 1 male was killed in extremis on day 9. No deaths occurred at 200 or 50 mg/kg.Effect on organs:No significant effect on organ weights at any dose.At 900 mg/kg, distinct treatment-related changes were observed in liver and adrenals. General findings included hepatocellular hyperplasia, more pronounced in males. In all males at this dose, a striking bileduct hyperplasia was observed. Females in this dose-group showed similar changes, but less marked. 4/5 males showed increased vacuolation in the cortical zone of the adrenals. There were no obvious treatment-related changes in animals at 200 or 50 mg/kg.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The substance was tested for repeated oral toxicity following EU Method B7. Under the experimental conditions the NOAEL is 200 mg/kg bw /day.
Executive summary:

The substance was tested for repeated oral toxicity following EU Method B7. Male and female Wistar rats were gavaged at doses 0, 50, 200 and 900 mg/kg bw/day nominal concentration for 28 days, 7 days a week. Deaths occured only at the highest dose. Gross patologoy, body weight, clinical chemistry and clinical observations were performed. Under the experimental conditions the NOAEL is 200 mg/kg bw /day.
