Administration / exposure

Route of administration:

oral: gavage

corn oil

Details on oral exposure:

VEHICLE
- Concentration in vehicle: 200 mg/mL

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

Under the experimental conditions of this study, the oral LD0 of the test item, was higher than 2000 mg/kg in rats.
Therefore, the test item should not be classified as harmful or toxic by oral route according to the criteria of the CLP Regulation.

Executive summary:

The objective of this study was to evaluate the potential acute toxicity of the test item, following a single oral administration (gavage) to rats.

This study was conducted in compliance with OECD Guideline No. 423 and the principles of Good Laboratory Practices.

 

Methods

 

The test item, was administered once by oral route (gavage) to three groups of three fasted female Sprague-Dawley rats under a dosage-volume of 10 mL/kg. The test item was prepared in corn oil.

Since no relevant toxicity data were available for the estimation of a lethal dose-level and any existing data have been taken into account by the Sponsor, the starting dose-level was 300 mg/kg for ethical reasons. After the first assay, the next higher dose-level of 2000 mg/kg was tested. Then, as no toxicity was observed at this higher dose-level, the results were confirmed in other three females.

Each animal was observed at least once a day for mortality and clinical signs for 15 days. Body weight was recorded on Day 1 and then on Days 8 and 15.

On completion of the observation period, the animals were sacrificed and then submitted for a macroscopic post-mortem examination. Macroscopic lesions were preserved in buffered formalin then destroyed at the finalization of the study report as no microscopic examination was performed.

 

Results

 

No unscheduled deaths occurred during the study and no clinical signs were observed in any animals.

When compared to the historical control data, a lower body weight gain was noted in 2/6 females given 2000 mg/kg (+7 gvs.+20 g ± 6.7 g in control data base) between Day 8 and Day 15. A higher body weight gain was observed in 1/6 females (+30 g vs.+20 g ± 6.7 g in control data base) given 2000 mg/kg over the same period.

Nevertheless, compared to the historical control data, the body weight of the animals was considered to be unaffected by the test item treatment.

No test item-related macroscopic post-mortem findings were noted.

 

Conclusion

 

Under the experimental conditions of this study, the oral LD0 of the test item, was higher than 2000 mg/kg in rats.

Therefore, the test item should not be classified as harmful or toxic by oral route according to the criteria of the CLP Regulation.
