No deaths were observed during the 14-day observation period. The animals at 8 and 16 g/kg exhibited ruffled fur for 18-24 hours post dosing. Within 48 hours all animals appeared normal. No body weight effects were observed. Gross necropsy findings were unremarkable.

The test article, when administered as received to male Sherman-Wistar rats, had an acute oral LD50 of greater than 16.0 g/kg

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Toxicity Category IV
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Mortality did not occur at doses of 16000 mg/kg bw, therefore an LD50 was not determined.
Executive summary:

In an acute oral toxicity study, groups of 5 male Sherman rats were given a single oral dose of alkaryl magnesium salt derivatives at doses of 1000, 2000, 4000, 8000 and 16000 mg/kg bw and observed for 14 days. No mortality occurred, therefore an LD50 has not been determined. Animals dosed with 8000 and 16000 mg/kg bw exhibited ruffled fur for 18-24 hours post dosing but they appeared normal within 48 hours. No significant change in bodyweights occurred in treated animals. No treatment related effects were observed on necropsy. This acute oral toxicity study is acceptable. It satisfies the guideline requirement for an acute oral study in the rat. The test article, when administered as received to male Sherman-Wistar rats, had an acute oral LD50 of greater than 16.0 g/kg.
