Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:

Initial Body Weight Range: 159-193 gInitial Age: 7-8 weeksIndividual Identification: by colour code using picric acidRat food, NAFAG No. 890, NAFAG AG, Gossau, SG (Switzerland), and water were provided ad libitum.The animals were kept under conventional laboratory conditions. They were caged in groups of 5 in Macrolon cages type 3 with standardized soft wood bedding (Société Parisienne des sciures, Pantin).The animal room was air conditionned: temperature 22±3° C, relative humidity 55+15%, 12 hours light/day, approximately 15 air changes/h.

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:

oral: gavage

Vehicle:

other: distilled water

Doses:

2500, 5000, 7500 mg/kg

No. of animals per sex per dose:

5 males and 5 females per dose

Control animals:

no

Details on study design:

Pretreatment: The animals were allocated to the different dose groups by random selection. Prior to dosing, the animals were fasted overnight.Administration: oral f by gastric intubation (gavage)Observation Period: 14 days or until all symptoms have disappeared, whichever lasts longerAdministration of the Test Article: one single dose, per osObservations and RecordsMortality: daily, a.m. and p.m. on working daysSigns and Symptoms: dailyBody weight: on days 1, 7, 14 and at deathNecropsies: Spontaneously dying animals were submitted to a gross necropsy as soon as possible; survivors at the end of the observation period.

Statistics:

From the body weights, the group means and their standard deviations were calculated.Where feasable, the LD50 including the 95% confidence limit were computed by the logit method (J. Berkson, J.Am. Stat. Ass. 39. 357-65, 1944)

Executive summary:

The aim of this study was to determine the acute oral toxicity potency of Acid violet 054 in rats, according to the OECD Guideline 401 (Acute Oral Toxicity).

The test was performed on rats (5 males and 5 females) per dose level, at three dose level: 2500, 5000 and 7500 mg/kg.

The test material was dissolved in distilled water.

The observation period was 14 days or until all symptoms have disappeared, whichever lasts longer

Prior to dosing by gastric intubation, the animals were fasted overnight. After administration, the animals were observed daily for clinical signs and mortality. Body weight was recorded immediately before administration, on day 7 and day 14.

1/5 female died at 5000 mg/kg dose and 3/5 females died at 7500 mg/kg dose. Spontaneously dying animals were submitted to a gross necropsy as soon as possible; survivors at the end of the observation period.

No specific symptoms were seen and Normal weight was gain. No compound related gross organ changes were observed.

Conclusion:following LD50 were determined

LD50 in male rats; >5000 mg/kg bw.

LD50 in female rats; > 5000 mg/kg bw.

LD50 in rats of both sexes; >5000 mg/kg bw
