Executive summary:

Study design

In this study, the acute toxicity of the test material in rats after single oral administration of 5000 mg/kg body weight was investigated. The study was performed according to the OECD Guideline for Testing of Chemicals, No. 401.

Results

No signs of toxicity were seen in the rats (5 males, 5 females) after treatment with the test item. One female rat died on the second day. All other animals survived the observation periond up to day 15.
There was a small difference in body weight gain between treated and control group on the second day of the study. Otherwise the body weight development of the rats was inconspicuous during the study.
The female rat died on day 2 had changes in the gaster, locally blood content in the small intestine and a moderate hydrometra. No findings have been recorded for the rats killed after the observation period (day 15).

Conclusion

Based on the result of this study, it is concluded that the test material has no acute toxic potential and that the LD50value is higher than 5000 mg/kg bw after single oral administration in rats.
