Administration / exposure

Route of administration:

oral: gavage

Vehicle:

water

Remarks:

distilled

Details on oral exposure:

Following a range-finding study, a group of ten fasted animals (five males and five females) was given a single oral dose of test material preparation at a dose level of 5000 mg/kg bodyweight.
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 its fasted bodyweight at the time of dosing.

No. of animals per sex per dose:

5 male and 5 female

Control animals:

no

Details on study design:

Procedure
a) Range-finding Study
In order to establish a suitable dose level for the main study groups of two rats (one male and one female) were treated once only as follows:

Dose Level (mg/kg) Concentration (mg/mL) Dose Volume (mL/kg) Number of Rats
Male Female
5000 500 10 1 1
3000 300 10 1 1
1000 100 10 1 1
250 25 10 1 1

Animals were observed 1 and 4 hours after dosing and then daily for five days.
Individual bodyweights were recorded on the day of dosing to allow calculation of individual treatment volumes. No necropsies were performed.


b) Main Study
A group of ten rats (five males and five females) was dosed as follows in order to confirm the findings of the range-finding study:


Dose Level (mg/kg) Concentration (mg/mL) Dose Volume (mL/kg) Number of Rats
Male Female
5000 500 10 5 5

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 its fasted bodyweight at the time of dosing.
Animals were observed 1 and 4 hours after dosing and subsequently once daily for 14 days. Deaths and evidence of overt toxicity were recorded at each observation.
Individual bodyweights were recorded on the day of treatment (day 0) and on days 7 and 14.
All animals were subjected to gross necropsy examination for any macroscopic abnormalities. No tissues were retained.

Statistics:

Evaluation of Data
Using the mortality data obtained, an estimate of the acute oral median lethal dose (LD50) of the test material was made. Clinical observations, bodyweight and necropsy records were examined for any adverse but nonlethal effects resulting from treatment.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

not classified

Remarks:

Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU

Conclusions:

The acute oral median lethal dose (LD50) of the test material, SUBSTANCE 1658/5, in the Sprague-Dawley CFY strain rat was found to be greater than 5000 mg/kg bodyweight.

Executive summary:

The acute oral median lethal dose (LD50) of the test material in the Sprague-Dawley CFY strain rat was found to be greater than 5000 mg/kg bodyweight.

The study was designed to comply with the recommendations of the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals (1981) No. 401 "Acute Oral Toxicity" referenced as method B1 in Annex V of EEC Commission Directive 84/449/EEC.
