TEST ANIMALS
- Source: Charles River Deutschland, Sulzfeld, Germany
- Age at study initiation: 8 weeks
- Weight at study initiation: Body weight variation did not exceed +/- 20% of the sex mean.
- Fasting period before study: 18 hours
- Housing: 3 per same group in stainless steel cage
- Diet (e.g. ad libitum): SM R/M-Z from SSNIFF® Spezialdiäten GmbH, Soest, Germany
- Water (e.g. ad libitum): tap water
- Acclimation period: 5 days before

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 18 to 24°C,
- Humidity (%): 40-70 %
- Air changes (per hr): 15
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light):12/24

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
oral: gavage
Vehicle:
other: 0.6 % methyl cellulose aqueous solution
Details on oral exposure:
The toxicity of the test substance was assessed by stepwise treatment of groups of 3 females. The
first group was treated at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg.
Doses:
2000 mg/kg.
No. of animals per sex per dose:
3 females per dose
Control animals:
yes
Details on study design:
The toxicity of the test substance was assessed by stepwise treatment of groups of 3 females. The
first group was treated at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg. The absence or presence of mortality of animals
dosed at one step determined the next step, based on the test procedure defined in the guidelines.
The onset, duration and severity of the signs of toxicity were taken into account for determination of
the time interval between the dose groups.

Sex:
female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 2 000 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
Mortality:
No mortality occurred
Clinical signs:
other: Hunched posture was noted in all animals on Days 1 and/or 2. In addition, piloerection was noted in three females on Day 1.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The oral LD50 value of Amiloride Compound 7 in Wistar rats was established to exceed 2000 mg/kg body weight.
According to the OECD 423 test guideline, the LD50 cut-off value was considered to exceed 5000 mg/kg body weight.
