Test animals

Species:
rat
Strain:
Wistar
Sex:
female

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
oral: gavage
Vehicle:
water
Details on oral exposure:
VEHICLE
- Concentration in vehicle: 200mg/ml
- Amount of vehicle (if gavage): 10ml/kg
- Justification for choice of vehicle: Substance disperses in water
- Starting dose was 300mg/kg/bw
- Rationale for the selection of the starting dose: Absence of data regarding toicity
Doses:
An initial dose of 300mg/kg body weight was dosed to a single rat. In the absence of toxicity, the dose was increased to 2000mg/kg body weight on one rat and then in the absence of mortality a further four rats were dosed once only at 2000mg/kg
No. of animals per sex per dose:
Five female rats in total
Control animals:
no

Results and discussion

Preliminary study:
One female rat was dosed with 10 ml/kg oral gavage with the 30mg/ml of the test material in water giving a total initial dose of 300mg/kg body weight. No toxicity was observed so a further 1 female rats was treated at a higher dose of 2000mg/kg/bw. In the absence of mortality further rats were tested at te higher dose.
Effect levels
