Administration / exposure

Route of administration:

oral: gavage

Vehicle:

unchanged (no vehicle)

Details on oral exposure:

The test duration was 15 days.

Doses:

550 and 2000 mg/kg. Dose volumes were 0.55 mL/kg and 2 mL/kg based on the assuming RD of 1mL

No. of animals per sex per dose:

4
One animal was dosed at an initial dose, this animal suvived, then 2 additional animals were dosed at 2000mg/kg

Control animals:

no

Details on study design:

Animals were weighed immediately before treatment and at 1, 8 and 15 days. At prior to 30mins, app. 30mins, 4 hours after dosing and then daily thereafter all animals were observed for symptoms of toxicity. Autopsies were conducted at test termination.

Statistics:

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

not classified

Remarks:

Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU

Conclusions:

The test material is not toxic to rats following acute oral exposure, with LD50 determined as greater than 2000 mg/kg. Therefore the substance is considered not to be classified

Executive summary:

The test substance was tested in an up- and down- procedure in 4 rats according to OECD guideline 425. The oral LD50 value for this substance was found to be > 2000 mg/kg. No mortality and no visible lessions were revealed in the any of animals receiving test article at 550 mg/kg or 2000 mg/kg.
