Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
oral: gavage
Vehicle:
water
Details on oral exposure:
VEHICLE
- Concentration in vehicle: 2000 mg/kg in water
- Amount of vehicle (if gavage): 10 ml/kg
- Justification for choice of vehicle: not stated
- Lot/batch no. (if required): not stated
- Purity: not stated

MAXIMUM DOSE VOLUME APPLIED: 2000 mg/kg

DOSAGE PREPARATION (if unusual): test material was freshly prepared as a suspension in distilled water. Test material formulated 2 h before being applied and assumed to be stable.

CLASS METHOD (if applicable)
- Rationale for the selection of the starting dose: limit dose for classification
Doses:
2000 mg/kg
No. of animals per sex per dose:
5 females
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
Animals gavaged only once. Volume adminstered was calcualted based on its fasted bodyweight at time of dosing. Bodyweights recorded on day 0, 7 and 14. At end of observation, animals subjected to gross necropsy; no tissues were examined. 1 rat was chosen with the starting dose, in the absence of toxicity at 2000 mg/kg, 4 more rats were treated at the same dose.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
practically nontoxic
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The acute oral median lethal dose (LD50) of the test material in the female Wistar strain rat was estimated to be greater than 2000 mg/kg bodyweight (Globally Harmonised Classification System Unclassified).
Executive summary:

The study was performed to assess the acute oral toxicity of the test material in the Wistar strain rat. The method was designed to meet the requirements of the following: OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals No 420 “Acute Oral Toxicity - Fixed Dose Method” (adopted 17 December 2001) and Method B1 bis acute toxicity (oral) of commission regulation EC No. 440/2008. Following a sighting test at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg, an additional four fasted female animals were given a single oral dose of test material, as asuspension in distilled water, at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg bodyweight. Clinical signs and bodyweight development were monitored during the study. All animals were subjected to gross necropsy. There were no deaths, signs of toxicity, changes in body weight or gross abnormalities. The acute oral median lethal dose (LD50) of the test material in the female Wistar strain rat was estimated to be greater than 2000 mg/kg bodyweight (Globally Harmonised Classification System-Unclassified).
