Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
oral: gavage
Vehicle:
ethanol
Details on oral exposure:
VEHICLE
- Amount of vehicle (if gavage): 0.5 ml/100 g body weight
Doses:
Preliminary assay: 4.0, 4.5 and 5.0 g/kg bw.
Definitive study: 3.5, 4.0, 4.5, 5.0 and 5.6 g/kg bw.
No. of animals per sex per dose:
Preliminary study: 1 male and 1 female per dose
Definitive study: 8 males and 8 females per dose
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: Animals were observed for mortality and pharmacotoxic signs at 1, 3, 5 and 24 hours following dosing and twice daily (once daily on weekends) for the remainder of the 14 day observation period. Surviving animals were weighed at the end of the observation period.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes

Clinical signs:
other: At 3.5 g/kg ataxia or adoption of the prone position were observed in all of males. All the females adopted the prone position.; the signs were observed in the first twenty-four hours and survivors had recovered by 48 hours after having been dosed. Simila
Gross pathology:
There were no signs indicative of toxicity in any of the animals necropsied at term. In animals that died the only signs were of yellow fluid in the stomach and intestines and reddish fluid in the intestines.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: not acute harmful
Remarks:
according to EU CLP (EC 1272/2008 and its amendments)
Conclusions:
The LC50 is 2750 mg/kg bw based on a similar to OECD TG 401 study. The LC50 is based on the lower LC50 for females.
GHS: For GHS this substance need to be classified as Acute Tox 5 (H303)
Executive summary:

The acute oral toxicity of the test substance towards rats was investigated according to methodology comparable to OECD Guideline 401 and under GLP conditions. Based on the results of a preliminary assay, the test substance was dosed at 3.5, 4.0, 4.5, 5.0 and 5.6 g/kg bw in the main test. Mortality was observed in all doses. The LD50 values were determined to be 3.35 (2.60 - 4.32) and 2.75 (2.02 - 3.74) g/kg for male and female rats respectively, under the conditions of this test. The value of 2750 will be used as the key value.
