Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
oral: gavage
Vehicle:
polyethylene glycol
Remarks:
Polyethylene glycol 300 (PEG 300)
Details on oral exposure:
VEHICLE
- Concentration in vehicle: 500 mg/mL

MAXIMUM DOSE VOLUME APPLIED: 10 mL/kg bw

DOSAGE PREPARATION
- The dose formulations were prepared shortly before each dosing occasion using a magnetic stirrer as homogenizer. The test item was weighed into a tared glass beaker on a suitable precision balance and the vehicle added (weight:volume). Homogeneity of the test item in the vehicle was maintained during administration using a magnetic stirrer.

TEST ITEM ADMINISTRATION
- Animals received a single dose of the test item by oral gavage administration after being fasted for approximately 17 to 19 hours (access to water was permitted). Food was provided again approximately 3 hours after dosing.
Doses:
5000 mg/kg bw
No. of animals per sex per dose:
3 females (total)
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing:
Viability/Mortality: Daily during the acclimatization period, during the first 30 minutes and at approximately 1, 2, 3 and 5 hours after administration on test day 1 (in common with the clinical signs) and twice daily during days 2-15.
Clinical signs: Daily during the acclimatization period, during the first 30 minutes and at approximately 1, 2, 3 and 5 hours after administration on test day 1, depending on the occurrence of clinical signs of toxicity. Once daily during days 2-15.
Body weights: On test day -1 (prior to removal of food), on test days 1 (prior to administration), 8 and 15.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: Yes; all animals were killed at the end of the observation period by carbon dioxide asphyxiation and discarded after macroscopic examinations were performed. No organs or tissues were retained.
Statistics:
The statistical programme (AOT 425 Stat Pgm) version: 1.0, 2001 was used for the selection of dose levels and calculation of the LD50 values.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Under the test conditions, the oral LD50 for test substance is > 5000 mg/kg bw in female rats therefore it is not classified according to the CLP Regulation (EC) N° (1272-2008).
Executive summary:

In an acute oral toxicity study (limit test) performed according to OECD Guideline 425 and in compliance with GLP, 3 female HanRcc:WIST (SPF) rats were given a single oral (gavage) dose of test substance at 5000 mg/kg bw. The test substance was formulated in PEG 300 at a concentration of 500 mg/mL and administered at a dosing volume of 10 mL/kg bw. Animals were then observed for mortality, clinical signs and bodyweights for 14 days and were all sacrificed for macroscopic examination.

 

All animals survived until the end of the study period. Slight clinical signs including ruffled fur, hunched posture and slight sedation on the day of treatment were observed in the three animals treated at 5000 mg/kg body weight which persisted up to test day 7 at the latest. One animal was additionally observed with almost to completely closed eyes on test day 2. By day 4, 7 or 8 all the animals were free of any clinical signs until the end of the study (test day 15). The body weight of the animals was within the range commonly recorded for rats of this strain and age. No macroscopic findings were recorded at necropsy.

 

Under the test conditions, the oral LD50 for test substance is > 5000 mg/kg bw in female rats therefore it is not classified according to the CLP Regulation (EC) N° (1272-2008).
