Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
oral: gavage
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Doses:
2000 mg/kg bw
No. of animals per sex per dose:
5
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
Animals were observed for 14 days following administration of the test substance.
Bodyweights were recorded on the day of dosing and at 7 and 14 days after dosing.

Necropsy of survivors performed: yes

Clinical signs were observed daily and bodyweights measured. Histopathological examination was performed on grossly abnormal tissues.
Statistics:
Use of statistics not indicated.

Results and discussion

Effect levels
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 2 000 mg/kg bw
Remarks on result:
other: 95% CL not indicated. LD50 is greater than 2000 mg/kg bw.
Mortality:
One treated female died on day 5.
Clinical signs:
Ruffled fur in treated animals was observed 3 hours post dosing. Urine staining was observed 24-48 hours following dosing, but was normal after 72 hours.
Body weight:
No significant change in bodyweights occurred in treated animals.
Gross pathology:
No treatment related effects were observed on necropsy.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Only one death in female animals occurred at 2000 mg/kg bw, therefore, and LD50 was not determined.
Executive summary:

In an acute oral toxicity study, groups of Sprague-Dawley rats (5/sex) were given a single oral dose of petroleum derived barium salts at 2000 mg/kg bw and observed for 14 days.

One mortality occurred in this limit test, therefore the LD50 > 2000 mg/kg.

This acute study is classified as acceptable. It satisfies the guidline requirement for an acute oral study in the rat.
