Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
oral: gavage
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Details on oral exposure:
After 18 hours of fasting and prior to dosing, all rats (5 male: 5 female) were weighed and marked with ear clips. The weight variations of animals did not exceed ±20%. Individual doses were administered on the basis of body weight using a stainless steel intragastric feeding needle. Volumes of dose were 1.1 to 1.2 mL in all cases.
Doses:
5000 mg/kg bw
No. of animals per sex per dose:
5
Control animals:
other: not required
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: animals were observed at 1, 3, 6 and 24 hours and daily thereafter for a total of 14 days.- Frequency of observations and weighing: at least once daily- Necropsy of survivors performed: complete gross necropsy performed on animals sacrificed at the end of the 14-day observation period. Sacrifice was accomplished via carbon dioxide asphyxiation.- Other examinations performed: animals were observed for signs of pharmacological activity and drug toxicity

Results and discussion

Effect levels
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 5 000 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
Mortality:
A single male rat died by the 24 hour observation period.
Clinical signs:
Depression was noted in the single male animal that died. Slight depression was recorded in a single other male rat but this resolved by the 24 hour observation period. All other male rats appeared normal.Slight depression was noted in 3/5 female rats but these signs resolved by the 24 hour observation period.Red anal and urethral discharges were noted, with peri-anal hair loss. These signs resolved in all animals by observation Day 13.
Body weight:
Initial body weights:Males: 244 - 252 gFemales: 222 - 224Interim body weights (Day 7):Males: 289 - 313 gFemales: 242 - 258 gAll surviving animals gained weight.
Gross pathology:
In 3 female rats, a red discharge was noted around the nose. The small intestines appeared moderately reddened. The stomachs appeared ulcerated.

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.
