- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12/12

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
oral: gavage
Vehicle:
corn oil
Details on oral exposure:
VEHICLE
- Lot/batch no.: MKBZ9899V
- Concentration in vehicle: 400 mg/mL

MAXIMUM DOSE VOLUME APPLIED: 5 mL/kg bw

CLASS METHOD
- Rationale for the selection of the starting dose: Due to the low expected toxicity of the test substance, 2,000 mg/kg was selected as the
starting dose for this study based on the information supplied by the sponsor.
Doses:
2000 mg/kg bw (step 1 and step 2)
No. of animals per sex per dose:
3 females per step
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: Animals were observed 30 min and 1, 2, 4 and 6 h after dosing and thereafter once daily for 14 days. Individual body weights were recorded prior to dosing on Day 0 and on Days 1, 3, 7 and on the day of necropsy, Day 14.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes
Statistics:
Statistical analysis was not performed. Mean scores and values were determined.

Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 2 000 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
Sex:

Dose descriptor:
LD50 cut-off
Effect level:
>= 5 000 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
Mortality:
No mortality was observed.
Clinical signs:
Mucous stool was observed in two animals at 2000 mg/kg bw on Day 1, and it disappeared on Day 2. Therefore, it was considered to be a test substance-related temporary change.
Body weight:
A decrease in body weight was observed in one animal at 2000 mg/kg bw on Day 3. Normal body weight gain was observed in this animal from Day 7. It was not considered to be a test substance-related effect because there were no clinical signs or necropsy findings of morphologic abnormalities.
Gross pathology:
No grossly visible findings were observed in any animal.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: CLP/EU GHS criteria not met, no classification required according to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008
Conclusions:
In this acute oral toxicity study in rats a LD50 value of ≥ 5000 mg/kg bw was found.
Executive summary:

The purpose of this study was to assess the potential toxicity of the test substance following a single oral dose administration to female Sprague-Dawley rats and to classify the test substance under the category of GHS classification.

Two dose groups of three females were utilized as follows:

Groups 1 and 2 (Steps 1 and 2): 2,000 mg/kg of the test substance

There was no mortality.
