Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
harmful
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: OECD GHS
Conclusions:
The acute median lethal oral dose (LD50) and its 95% confidence limits to mice of EP1 were calculated to be: 1.2 (1.1 - 1.4) mL/kg bw., corresponding to 0.24 (0.22 - 0.28) g/kg bw.
Executive summary:

An acute oral toxicity study was performed in mice on EP1.

EP1 was prepared as a 20% v/v emulsion in Tween-80 (10% aqueous solution) and administered at a maximum dosage volume of 20 mL/kg. Mice treated at Tween-80 (10%) in water (20 mL/kg) served as control.

During the 14 -days observation period, record was kept of all mortalities and signs of toxicity. All mice were examined macroscopically to identify target organs.

Autopsy revealed darkening of the liver and animals treated at 4 mL/kg (0.8 g/kg bw) showed ulceration of the stomach wall and intestine togeher with bleaching of parts of the liver.

The acute median lethal oral dose (LD50) of EP1 were calculated to be 1.2 mL/kg bw (0.24 g/kg bw).
