Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
oral: gavage
Vehicle:
water
Details on oral exposure:
The 75% concentration of the test substance in water was administered orally to female mice. Ten animals per group received doses/20 g mouse of 0.5, 0.6, 0.7 and 1.0 cc and a mortality curve was further calculated based on a 14-day observation period.
Doses:
doses/20 g mouse of 0.5, 0.6, 0.7 and 1.0 cc
No. of animals per sex per dose:
10
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
Statistics:
The LD-50 was evaluated using the Miller-Tainter method.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Under the study conditions, the LD50 for the test substance in mice was determined to be 0.61 mL. Based on a bodyweight of 20 g and a purity of 75%, this corresponds to 22880 mg a.i./kg bw.
Executive summary:

A study was conducted to determine the acute oral toxicity of the test substance (purity: 75%) according to the Miller-Tainter method. A 75% concentration of the test substance in water was administered orally to female mice. Ten animals (20 g bodyweight) per group received doses of 0.5, 0.6, 0.7 and 1.0 mL and a mortality curve was calculated based on a 14 d observation period. The LD50 was evaluated using the Miller-Tainter method. Mortality was observed from the dose of 0.6 mL and higher. Under the study conditions, the LD50 for the test substance in mice was determined to be 0.61 mL. Based on a bodyweight of 20 g and a purity of 75%, this corresponds to 22880 mg a.i./kg bw (South Mountain Laboratories, 1972).
