Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
oral: gavage
Vehicle:
arachis oil
Details on oral exposure:
VEHICLE
- Concentration in vehicle: 200 mg/mL
- Justification for choice of vehicle: the test material did not dissolve/suspend in distilled water

MAXIMUM DOSE VOLUME APPLIED: 10 mL/kg bw

CLASS METHOD
- Rationale for the selection of the starting dose: all available information on the toxicity of the test substance was used
Doses:
2000 mg/kg bw
No. of animals per sex per dose:
6 females in total
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: Animals were observed 0.5, 1, 2 and 4 h after dosing and subsequently once daily for 14 days. Individual body weights were recorded prior to dosing and 7 and 14 days after treatment.

Results and discussion

Effect levels
Key result
Sex:
female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
>= 5 000 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
Remarks on result:
other: LD50 cut-off according to OECD 423
Mortality:
No mortality occurred during the study period.
Clinical signs:
Hunched posture was noted in one animal 2 and 4 h after dosing. Five animals appeared normal throughout the study and the remaining animal appeared normal one day after dosing.
Body weight:
All animals showed expected gains in body weight over the study period.
