- Age at study initiation: 8 - 10 weeks
- Weight at study initiation: step 1: 160 - 170 g; step 2: 164 - 179 g
- Fasting period before study: animals were fasted 16 - 19 h prior to administration
- Housing: group-caged in IVC cages, type III H, polysulphone cages on Altromin saw fibre bedding
- Diet: Altromin 1324 maintenance diet for rats and mice, ad libitum
- Water: tap water, sulphur acidified to a pH value of approx. 2.8, ad libitum (analysis were performed)
- Acclimation period: at least 5 days

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 22 ± 3
- Humidity (%): 55 ± 10
- Air changes (per hr): 10
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12/12

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
oral: gavage
Vehicle:
corn oil
Details on oral exposure:
VEHICLE
- Concentration in vehicle: 0.2 g/mL
- Amount of vehicle: 10 mL/kg bw
- Justification for choice of vehicle: non-toxic characteristic
- Lot/batch no.: MKCC0462

MAXIMUM DOSE VOLUME APPLIED: 10 mL

CLASS METHOD
- Rationale for the selection of the starting dose: no rationale given in the report
Doses:
2000 mg/kg bw
No. of animals per sex per dose:
3 females per step (2 steps performed)
Control animals:
no
Remarks:
not required
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: On the day of dosing animals were observed for general clinical signs, morbidity and mortality (at least once during the first 30 min and with more attention during the first 4 h, then once daily). Body weights were determined on Day 1 prior to dosing, on Day 8 and Day 15.
