Results and discussion

Effect levels
Sex:
female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 2 000 mg/kg bw
Mortality:
No death occurred at 2000 mg/kg bw single oral dose of 3,4-O-dimehyl methyldopa monohydrochloride monohydrate (DMAKS). All female rats in step 1 and step 2 survived until the end of the 14-day observation period.
Clinical signs:
other: In group 1 and 2 treated with 2000 mg/kg bw dose no treatment related symptoms were observed throughout the 14-day post treatment
Gross pathology:
All animals treated with 2000 mg/kg bw dse survived until the scheduled necropsy on Day 15. Severe hydrometra was observed in female No.: 6207 of the group 1 nad moderate hydrometra was detected in animal No.: 6229 of group 2. Hydrometra os physiological finding and connected to the cycle of the animal. No pathological changes were found related to the effect of the test item during the macroscopic examination of animals treated with 2000 mg/kg bw dose.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 5 based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
The method used is not intended to allow the calcuation of a precise LD50 value. The test item is ranked into classes of Globally Harmonized Classification System (GHS) described in the OECD Guideline No. 423. as unclassified.
