male/female

Dose descriptor:

LD50

Effect level:

> 2 000 mg/kg bw

Based on:

test mat.

Mortality:

All rats survived the observation period.

Clinical signs:

No signs of toxicity were seen in the 3 male and 3 female rats after treatment with 2000 mg/kg.

Body weight:

On female rat showed inhibition of body weight development. The body weight development of the other rats was inconspicuous during the study.

The gross pathological examination revealed no organ alterations.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

study cannot be used for classification

Remarks:

Migrated information

Conclusions:

Based on the result of this study, it is concluded that the test material has no acute toxic potential and that the LD50 value is higher than 2000 mg/kg after single oral administration in rats.

Executive summary:

Study design

The test material was tested for acute toxicity in rats after single oral administration of 2000 mg/kg body weight. The study was performed according to the OECD Guideline for Testing of Chemicals No. 401.

Results

No signs of toxicity were seen in the rats (5 males, 5 females) after treatment with 2000 mg/kg of the test item.
On female rat showed inhibition of body weight development. The body weight development of the other rats was inconspicuous during the study. There were no deaths during the course of the study.
The gross pathological examination revealed no organ alterations.

Conclusion

Based on the result of this study, it is concluded that the test material has no acute toxic potential and that the LD₅₀value is higher than 2000 mg/kg after single oral administration in male/female rats.
