Specific details on test material used for the study:
- Solubility and stability of the test substance in the solvent/vehicle: The mycrorystalline suspensions were prepared fresh on application day for immediate application and administrations were carried out within approximately 2 hours after preparation. The stability of the test item was verified analytically. In addition all samples are considered prepared correctly with regard to the results of analysis.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: no substance related mortality observed
Conclusions:
The acute oral toxicity of estrone-methylether in rats is above 2000 mg/kg body weight.
Executive summary:

The single oral administration of estrone-methylether to male and female Wistar rats at the dose of 2000 mg/kg resulted in transient clinical signs (apathy and atactic gait). All animals were without treatment-related findings from Day 2 onwards. No compound-related macroscopic findings were seen. The acute oral toxicity of estrone-methylether in rats is above 2000 mg/kg body weight.
