Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
oral: gavage
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Details on oral exposure:
MAXIMUM DOSE VOLUME APPLIED: 2000 mg/kg bw

DOSAGE PREPARATION (if unusual): Not applicable

CLASS METHOD (if applicable)
- Rationale for the selection of the starting dose: The test item was administered at a single dose by gavage using a feeding tube. The sample was administered according to the dose chosen at the start of the study. The starting dose was selected to be 2000 mg/kg body weight. No compound-related mortality was recorded for any animal of step 1 or 2. Based on these results and according to the acute toxic class method regime no further testing was required.
Doses:
Step 1 and 2: 2000 mg/kg bw
No. of animals per sex per dose:
3 animals per dose and step
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: The animals were weighed on day 1 (prior to the administration) and on days 8 and 15.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes
- Other examinations performed: clinical signs, body weight
Statistics:
Not used.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
