IN-LIFE DATES: From: 1 March 2012 To: 30 March 2012

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
oral: gavage
Vehicle:
water
Remarks:
at 175mg/kg dose only (low dose)
Details on oral exposure:
Dose preparation:
The proper amount of the test article was measured according to volume since it was a liquid, and was allocated/dosed neat as received from the Sponsor at 2000 and 550 mg/kg with a pH = 7. The stock bottle was inverted several times prior to dispensing. At 175 mg/kg the test article was dissolved in distilled water (175 mg brought to a volume of 5 mL). The resulting clear liquid had a pH equal to 12.
Doses:
175, 550 or 2000 mg/kg body-weight
No. of animals per sex per dose:
A total of 6 females: 175 (1), 550 (3) and 2000 mg/kg (2)
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing:
Mortality checks were made at least once daily. Clinical observations were recorded prior to dosing, as well as at 30 minutes, 4 hours post-dose, and daily thereafter through day 15. Body weights were recorded on the day of dosing (day 1), and on days 8 and 15, or upon death. All surviving rats were euthanized by CO2 asphyxiation and necropsied on Day 15.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes
Statistics:
The LD50 was calculated test using the AOT425StatPgm developed by Westat May, 2001.

Results and discussion

Effect levels
Key result
Sex:
female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
550 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
95% CL:
123.9 - 3 930
Mortality:
For the dose of 175 mg/kg, no mortality was observed. One of three animals receiving the test article at 550 mg/kg was found dead and both animals at 2000 mg/kg were found dead. All three deaths occurred by the 30 minute observation time point on day 1.
Clinical signs:
other: No clinical signs were observed and all surviving animals appeared normal throughout the study.
Gross pathology:
Terminal necropsy revealed no visible lesions in the surviving animals at 175 and 550 mg/kg. Necropsy of the animals found dead revealed test article visible in the stomach but no other visible lesions.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 4 based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
Based on the results of this study, the oral LD50 for the test substance in rats was estimated to be 550 mg/kg (95% PL Confidence Interval of 123.9 to 3930 mg/kg). Therefore, the test substance is considered to be classified as category 4 according to the CLP regulation.
