Control animals:
no
Details on study design:

Results and discussion

Effect levels
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 5 000 mg/kg bw
Remarks on result:
other: Based on lack of systemic toxicity or mortality observed at this dose level
Mortality:
No mortality was observed in male or female rats in either dose group through the 7 day observation period.
Clinical signs:
other: No signs of clinical toxicity were observed through the study period in either male or female rats in both dose groups.
Gross pathology:
No treatment-related effects were observed in either male or female rats in both dose groups.
Other findings:
Body weight gain was normal for male and female rats in the 1000 mg/kg dose group. Body weight gain of animals in the highest dose tested (5000 mg/kg) was below average but this was attributed to the fact that animals did not eat properly for the first 2 days post dosing.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Based on the lack of systemic toxicity or mortality observed at the highest dose tested, the acute oral LD50 is >5000 mg/kg bw.
Executive summary:

In an acute oral toxicity study, groups of fasted, SFP Wistar rats (5/sex) were given a single oral dose of R 9107 in arachis oil at doses of 1000 or 5000 mg/kg bw and observed for 7 days. 

 

There were no treatment related clinical signs, necropsy findings or changes in body weight. Based on the lack of systemic toxicity effects and mortality, the oral LD50 was determined to be >5000 mg/kg bw (male and female).

 

This study received a Klimisch score of 1 and is classified as reliable without restriction because the study was conducted according to OECD guideline 401.
