- Amount of vehicle (if gavage): 10 mL/kg

MAXIMUM DOSE VOLUME APPLIED: 10 mL/kg

CLASS METHOD (if applicable)
- Rationale for the selection of the starting dose: due to lack of any preliminary toxicological information, 300 mg/kg bw was selected to be the starting dose
Doses:
300, 2000 mg/kg bw

Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: Clinical observations were performed on all animals at 30 minutes, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6 hours after dosing and daily for 14 days thereafter, weighing on the day before treatment (Day -1), on the day of the
treatment (Day 0) and on Day 7 and Day 14 (before necropsy).
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes

Executive summary:

The acute oral toxicity study with WARADUR LG was performed according to the acute toxic class method (OECD 420 and Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008, B.1.bis) in Crl:WI Wistar female rats.

Initially, in the sighting study, one female was treated at the dose level of 300 mg/kg bw. As no mortality was observed, one female was treated at the dose level of 2000 mg/kg bw. As no mortality was observed, the main study was conducted with four animals treated at the same dose level. No mortality was observed in the main study; therefore, no further testing was required.

A single oral treatment was carried out by gavage for each animal after an overnight food withdrawal. Food was made available again 3 hours after the treatment. The test item was administered formulated in PEG 400 at a concentration of 30, or 200 mg/mL at a dosing volume of 10 mL/kg bw.

Clinical observations were performed at 30 minutes, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6 hours after dosing and daily for 14 days thereafter. Body weight was measured on Days -1, 0 and 7 and Day 14 (before necropsy). All animals were subjected to a necropsy and a macroscopic examination.

WARADUR LG did not cause mortality in the study. All treated animals were symptom-free during the observation period. Body weight gains of WARADUR LG treated animals during the study showed no indication of a treatment-related effect. There was no evidence of any macroscopic changes in the surviving rats at the dose levels of 300 and 2000 mg/kg bw.

Under the conditions of this study, the acute oral LD50 value of the test item WARADUR LG was found to be above 2000 mg/kg bw in female Crl:WI Wistar rats.
