Administration / exposure

Route of administration:

oral: gavage

Vehicle:

unchanged (no vehicle)

Doses:

2000 and 5000 mg/kg bw

No. of animals per sex per dose:

5/sex/dose

Control animals:

no

Details on study design:

- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: animals were observed frequently on the day of dosage and twice daily thereafter (morning and afternoon). Individual weights were recorded on the day of dosage, weekly thereafter and prior to sacrifice. Individual weights were recorded on the day of dosage, and average groups weights were recorded at 7 and 14 days after dosing.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: gross necropsies were performed on all animals that either died during the 14 day observation period or on surviving animals that were sacrificed at the conclusion of the 14 day observation period.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

Category 5 based on GHS criteria

Remarks:

Migrated information

Conclusions:

The test article, when administered as received to male/female Sprague-Dawley rats, had an acute oral LD50 of greater than 2000 mg/kg bodyweight but less than 5000

Executive summary:

In an acute oral toxicity study, 2 groups fasted Sprague-Dawley strain Albino rats (five male and five female) were given a single oral dose of undiluted test material at a dose level of 2000 and 5000 mg/kg bw and observed for14 days.

All animals died in the high dose group. In the low dose group, 2/5 female died on day 2; all the survived animals appeared normal. No gross abnormalities were noted in all animals (either found dead during the study or in the animals necropsied at the conclusion of the study). All animals showed expected bodyweight gain during the study period.

The oral LD50 value of test material in rats of both sexes has been determined to be greater than 2000 mg/kg bodyweight but less than 5000 mg/kg bodyweight.
