Administration / exposure

Route of administration:

oral: gavage

Vehicle:

unchanged (no vehicle)

Details on oral exposure:

MAXIMUM DOSE VOLUME APPLIED: 1.96 mL/kg.

Doses:

2000 mg/kg

No. of animals per sex per dose:

Five

Control animals:

no

Details on study design:

- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days.
- Frequency of observations : Animals were observed for viability and signs of toxicity at 1, 2, 4 and 6 hours after dosing and at least daily thereafter.
- Frequency of weighing: Individual bodyweights were recorded prior to dosing, at initiation of dosing (Day 0), and at Day 7 and Day 14 (or at death for animals dying during the study).
- Necropsy of survivors performed: Yes.

Statistics:

The mean and standard deviations of the body weights and body weight changes were calculated.

Results and discussion

Effect levels

Sex:

male/female

Dose descriptor:

approximate LD50

Effect level:

2 000 mg/kg bw

Remarks on result:

other: Estimated LD50

Mortality:

Five (2 male and 3 female) animals died on the day of dosing (Day 0). The remaining five animals survived to termination.

Clinical signs:

other: In-life signs of toxicity most frequently observed included: tremors; oral, nasal and ocular discharge; staining of the anogenital and abdominal areas. Other signs included hypoactivity, hypothermia, abnormal stool production, hyperactivity, convulsions a

Gross pathology:

Gross pathology of animals that died during the study included abnormalities of the gastrointestinal tract, liver and lungs. Single incidences of undescended testes and an abnormal white mass within the urinary bladder were also noted. No gross pathology was found in surviving animals.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

not classified

Remarks:

Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU

Conclusions:

Five of the ten animals died on the day of dosing. Necropsy of these animals revealed abnormalities of the gastrointestinal tract, liver and lungs. Single incidences of undescended testes and an abnormal white mass within the urinary bladder were also noted. The five remaining animals survived until study termination and displayed no gross pathology at necropsy. Based on the five deaths, an approximate LD50 of 2,000 mg/kg may be estimated.

Executive summary:

The test material was assessed for acute oral toxicity potential in a GLP study (limit test) in Sprague-Dawley rats. Five males and five females were administered the neat test material by gavage at a dose of 2,000 mg/kg bodyweight and observed for 14 days. Body weights were measured prior to dosing, one week after dosing, and prior to termination. Two males and three females died on the day of dosing. Gross necropsy of these animals revealed abnormalities of the gastrointestinal tract, liver and lungs. Single incidences of undescended testes and an abnormal white mass within the urinary bladder were also noted. The five remaining animals survived until study termination and displayed no gross pathology at necropsy. Based on the five deaths, an approximate LD50 of 2,000 mg/kg may be estimated.
