Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:

Female Wistar (RccHan™:WIST) strain rats were supplied by Harlan Laboratories UK Ltd., Oxon, UK. On receipt the animals were randomly allocated to cages. The females were nulliparous and non-pregnant. After an acclimatization period of at least 5 days the animals were selected at random and given a number unique within the study by indelible ink marking on the tail and a number written on a cage card. At the start of the study the animals were 8 to 12 weeks of age. The body weight variation did not exceed ±20 % of the body weight of the initially dosed animal. The animals were housed in groups of up to four in suspended solid floor polypropylene cages furnished with wood flakes. With the exception of an overnight fast immediately before dosing and for approximately 3 to 4 hours after dosing, free access to mains drinking water and food (2014C Teklad Global Rodent diet supplied by Harlan Laboratories UK Ltd., Oxon, UK) was allowed throughout the study. The diet, drinking water and bedding were routinely analyzed and were considered not to contain any contaminants that would reasonably be expected to affect the purpose or integrity of the study. The temperature and relative humidity were set to achieve limits of 19 to 25 °C and 30 to 70 % respectively. The rate of air exchange was at least fifteen changes per hour and the lighting was controlled by a time switch to give 12 hours continuous light (06:00 to 18:00) and 12 hours darkness. The animals were provided with environmental enrichment items which were considered not to contain any contaminant of a level that might have affected the purpose or integrity of the study.

Justification:
Rats are the preferred species of choice as historically used for safety evaluation studies and are specified in the appropriate test guidelines.

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:

oral: gavage

Vehicle:

arachis oil

Details on oral exposure:

For the purpose of the study the test item was freshly prepared, as required, as a dispersion in arachis oil BP. Arachis oil BP was used because the test item did not dissolve/suspend in distilled water. The test item was formulated within 2 hours of being applied to the test system. It is assumed that the formulation was stable for this duration. No analysis was conducted to determine the homogeneity, concentration or stability of the test item formulation. This is an exception with regard to GLP and has been reflected in the GLP compliance statement. A total of five animals were treated at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg in the study. All animals were dosed once only by gavage, using a metal cannula attached to a graduated syringe. The volume administered to each animal was calculated according to the fasted body weight at the time of dosing. Treatment of animals was sequential. Sufficient time was allowed between each dose group to confirm the survival of the previously dosed animals.

Doses:

2000 mg/kg

No. of animals per sex per dose:

A total of five animals were treated in one group

Control animals:

no

Details on study design:

- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing:Clinical observations were made 30 minutes, 1, 2, and 4 hours after dosing and then daily for 14 days. Morbidity and mortality checks were made twice daily. Individual body weights were recorded on Day 0 (the day of dosing) and on Days 7 and 14.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes
- Other examinations performed: clinical signs, body weight

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

The acute oral median lethal dose (LD50) of the FAT 36152/N in the female Wistar strain rat was estimated to be greater than 2000 mg/kg body weight (Globally Harmonized Classification System - Unclassified).

Executive summary:

The study was performed to assess the acute oral toxicity of the test item in the Wistar strain rat. Following a sighting test at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg, an additional four fasted female animals were given a single oral dose of test item, as a dispersion in arachis oil BP, at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg body weight. Clinical signs and body weight development were monitored during the study. All animals were subjected to gross necropsy. There were no deaths. Hunched posture and blue/black colored staining of the feces were noted in the initial treated animal. There were no signs of systemic toxicity noted in the additional four treated animals. Animals showed expected gains in body weight over the observation period, except for one animal which showed body weight loss during the first week with expected gain in body weight during the second week. No abnormalities were noted at necropsy. The acute oral median lethal dose (LD₅₀) of FAT 36152/N in the female Wistar strain rat was estimated to be greater than 2000 mg/kg body weight (Globally Harmonized Classification System-Unclassified).
