Details on oral exposure:

Frequency: single dosage, on Day 1.

VEHICLE
- Justification for choice of vehicle: no data
- Concentration: 0.2 g/mL

MAXIMUM DOSE VOLUME APPLIED: 2000 mg/kg (10 mL/kg) body weight.

DOSAGE PREPARATION: The test substance was placed into a glass beaker on a tared Mettler balance and the vehicle was added. A weight by volume dilution was prepared using a magnetic stirrer as homogenizer. Homogeneity was maintained during treatment.

- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing:
Mortality/Viability: Four times during day 1 and once daily during days 2-15
Body weights: On day 1 (prior to administration), on day 8 and on day 15
Clinical signs: Four times on the day of dosing (Day 1) and once daily thereafter, until Day 15.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes
- Other examinations performed: none.

Key result

Sex:

male/female

Dose descriptor:

LD50

Effect level:

> 2 000 mg/kg bw

Based on:

test mat.

Mortality:

No mortalities occurred.

Clinical signs:

other: No clinical signs of toxicity occurred.

Gross pathology:

Macroscopic examination of the animals did not reveal any abnormalities.

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

In an acute oral toxicity study with rats, conducted in accordance with OECD 423 (1996) and according to GLP principles, an oral LD50 of >2000 mg/kg was determined.

Executive summary:

The acute oral toxicity in female and male rats has been studied in accordance with OECD 423 (1996), EU Method B.1 tris (1996) and according to GLP principles. The substance was dosed in polyethylene glycol at 2 g/kg bw in 3 female and 3 male rats, in 2 steps. No mortalities and no clinical signs of toxicity occurred. Necropsy did not show any abnormality. The acute oral toxicity (LD50) was determined to be >2000 mg/kg. Based on this result, the substance does not need to be classified for acute toxicity by the oral route.

Endpoint conclusion

Endpoint conclusion:

no adverse effect observed

Dose descriptor:

LD50

Value:

2 000 mg/kg bw
