TEST ANIMALS
- Source: TOXI COOP ZRT. Cserkesz u. 90. 1103 Budapest, Hungary
- Females (if applicable) nulliparous and non-pregnant: yes
- Age at study initiation: 8 weeks old in first and second step
- Weight at study initiation: 191 - 196 g (first step), 201 - 204 g (second step)
- Fasting period before study: The day before treatment the animals were fasted. The food but not water was withheld overnight. The food was given back 3 hours after the treatment.
- Housing: Group caging (3 animals/cage)
- Diet (e.g. ad libitum): ssniff® SM R/M-Z+H complete diet for rats and mice produced by ssniff Spezialdiäten GmbH, D-59494 Soest Germany, ad libitum
- Water (e.g. ad libitum): tap water from municipal supply, ad libitum
- Acclimation period: 12 days in first step and 13 days in second step

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 22 ± 3 °C
- Humidity (%): 30 - 70 %
- Air changes (per hr): above 10 air exchanges/hour by central air-condition system.
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12 hours dark/ 12 hours light, from 6.00 a.m. to 6.00 p.m. light period

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:

oral: gavage

Vehicle:

methylcellulose

Remarks:

1 % in Aqua purificata

Details on oral exposure:

VEHICLE
- Concentration in vehicle: 200 mg/mL
- Amount of vehicle (if gavage): 10 mL/kg bw
- Lot/batch no. (if required): AX4380542

CLASS METHOD (if applicable)
- Rationale for the selection of the starting dose: Starting dose was selected on the basis of the available information about the test item.
The acute toxic class method was carried out involving a stepwise procedure with the use of 2000 mg/kg bw as the starting dose in three female rats. No animal died in the first step at 2000 mg/kg bw dose level, so treatment with 2000 mg/kg bw was repeated on further three female rats. No animal died in the second step, too, so the test was finished, the stopping criteria of Annex 2d of OECD Guideline No. 423 was met.

Doses:

2000 mg/kg bw

No. of animals per sex per dose:

3 animals

Control animals:

no

Details on study design:

- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing:
Body weight measurement: Day 0, 7, 15;
Clinical observation: At least once during the first 30 minutes, then 1 h, 2 h, 3 h, 4 h after the treatment, and once a day for 14 days thereafter
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes
- Other examinations performed: clinical signs, body weight, organ weights, grosspathology, lethality, other: General state, external appearance, behaviour

Results and discussion

Effect levels

Sex:

female

Dose descriptor:

LD50

Effect level:

> 2 000 mg/kg bw

Based on:

test mat.

Remarks on result:

not determinable due to absence of adverse toxic effects

Mortality:

No death occurred at 2000 mg/kg bw single oral dose of the test item. All female rats in step 1 and step 2 survived until the end of the 14-day observation period.

Clinical signs:

other: In group 1 and group 2 treated with 2000 mg/kg bw dose no treatment related symptoms were observed throughout the 14-day post-treatment period.

Gross pathology:

All animals treated with 2000 mg/kg bw dose survived until the scheduled necropsy on Day 15.
Internal necropsy finding as pale kidneys was observed in animal No.: 7023 of group 1 and in animal No.: 7037 of group 2. This alteration could not be related to the test item toxic effect, but was regarded an individual variation. Most likely the observation is a congenital anomaly. No pathological changes were found related to the effect of the test item during the macroscopic examination of animals treated with 2000 mg/kg bw dose.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

other: EU GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

No death occurred after the single 2000 mg/kg bw oral dose of the test item. There were no toxic clinical signs and any to the test item related effect in body weights and body weight gains during the study.
Autopsy revealed no treatment related pathological changes. The method used is not intended to allow the calculation of a precise LD50 value (LD50 > 2000 mg/kg bw).

Executive summary:

The determination of the acute oral toxicity of the test item was conducted following OECD Guideline 423 under GLP compliance. The acute toxic class method was carried out involving a stepwise procedure with the use of 2000 mg/kg bw as the starting dose in three female rats. No animal died in the first step at 2000 mg/kg bw dose level, so treatment with 2000 mg/kg bw was repeated on further three female rats. No animal died in the second step, too, so the test was finished, the stopping criteria of Annex 2d of OECD Guideline No. 423 were met.

No death occurred after the single 2000 mg/kg bw oral dose of the test item. There were no toxic clinical signs and any to the test item related effect in body weights and body weight gains during the study. Autopsy revealed no treatment related pathological changes. The method used is not intended to allow the calculation of a precise LD50 value (LD50 exceeded 2000 mg/kg bw).
