Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:

TEST ANIMALS
- Source: Rat, Wistar strain Crl:(WI) BR (outbred, SPF-Quality) from Charles River Deutschland, Sulzfeld, Germany.
- Age at study initiation: Young adult animals (approx. 7 weeks old) were selected
- Weight at study initiation: weight variation did not exceed +/- 20% of the sex mean (see Table 1)
- Fasting period before study: food was withheld overnight (for a maximum of 20 hours) prior to dosing until approximately 3-4 hours after administration of the test substance.
- Housing: Group housing of 3 animals per sex per cage in labelled polycarbonate cages containing purified sawdust as bedding material (SAWI, Jelu Werk, Rosenberg, Germany).
- Diet (e.g. ad libitum): Free access to standard pelleted laboratory animal diet (from Carfil Quality BVBA, Oud-Turnhout, Belgium).
- Water (e.g. ad libitum): free access to tap-water.
- Acclimation period: at least 5 days before start of treatment under laboratory conditions

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
A controlled environment was maintained in the room with optimal conditions
- Temperature (°C): 21°C
- Humidity (%): 50%
- Air changes (per hr): 15
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12 hours artificial fluorescent light and 12 hours dark per day

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:

oral: gavage

Vehicle:

other: water (Milli-U)

Details on oral exposure:

VEHICLE
- Concentration in vehicle: 200 mg/ml
- Amount of vehicle (if gavage): 10 ml/kg
- Justification for choice of vehicle: the vehicle was selected based on a pretest performed at the testing facility

MAXIMUM DOSE VOLUME APPLIED: 10 ml/kg

CLASS METHOD (if applicable)
- Rationale for the selection of the starting dose: the toxicity of the test substance was assessed by stepwise treatment of groups of 3 animals. The first group was treated at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg body weight. The absence or presence of mortality of animals dosed at one step determined the next step, based on the test procedure defined in the guidelines. The onset, duration and severity of the signs of toxicity were to be taken into account for determination of the time interval between the dose groups.

Doses:

2000 mg/kg bw

No. of animals per sex per dose:

3 (the male animals were first tested, followed by female animals, in the absence of mortality in male, one day later)

Control animals:

no

Details on study design:

- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: mortality/viability (twice daily); body weights (days 1; pre-administration, 8 and 15); clinical signs [at periodic intervals on the day of dosing and once daily thereafter, until day 15. The symptoms were graded according to fixed scales and the time of onset, degree and duration were recorded.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes; at the end of the observation period, all animals were sacrificed by asphyxiation using an oxygen/carbon dioxide procedure and subjected to necropsy. Descriptions of all internal macroscopic abnormalities were recorded.
- Other examinations performed: clinical signs, body weight

Statistics:

none necessary
