Effect levels

Key result

Sex:

female

Dose descriptor:

LD50

Effect level:

> 300 - < 2 000 mg/kg bw

Based on:

test mat.

Mortality:

All the three animals dosed with 2000 mg/kg bw/d were found dead by day 2 observation. No mortality was observed at 300 mg/kg bw/d.

Clinical signs:

In Step-I and Step-I confirmation:
The animals were dosed with 300 mg/kg body weight. No clinical signs of toxicity and mortality were observed.
In Step-II, the animals were dosed with 2000 mg/kg body weight. No clinical signs were observed at 30 to 40 minutes. At 1st and 2nd hour clinical signs like lethargy were seen, 3rd hour lethargy and soft stool and at 4th hour recumbency was observed. All the three animals were found dead by day 2 observation.

Body weight:

No changes were observed in body weight and percent change in body weight with respect to day 1 at 300 mg/kg bw. However, decrease in body weight was observed in dead animals of the 2000 mg/kg bw dose group.

Gross pathology:

No gross pathological changes were observed in any of the animals dosed at 300 mg/kg and 2000 mg/kg body weight.

Other findings:

- Organ weights: not examined
- Histopathology: not examined

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

Category 4 based on GHS criteria

Conclusions:

Based on the results of this study it is concluded that the LD50 of the test item is 300 < LD50 < 2000 mg/kg bw when administered as a single dose by oral gavage to female Sprague Dawley rats according to OECD 423.

Executive summary:

The test item was evaluated for acute oral toxicity in Sprague Dawley rats as per OECD Guideline No. 423. A starting dose of 300 mg/kg body weight was selected as there was no available information on the LD50 of the test item.

A total of 9 females (3 females each per Step-I, Step-I confirmation and Step-II) were used. All the animals of Step-I and Step-I confirmation were administered with 300 mg/kg body weight of the test item and Step II were administered with 2000 mg/kg body weight of the test item by oral route (gavage).

All the animals were observed for clinical signs of toxicity and mortality at 30 to 40 min, 1 hr (±10 mins), 2 hrs (±10 mins), 3 hrs (±10 mins) and 4 hrs (±10 mins) post dosing on day 1 and once daily thereafter for clinical signs of toxicity and twice daily for mortality during the 14 days observation period. Body weight was recorded on day 1 before test item administration and on day 8 and 15 during the observation period. At the end of observation period, all the surviving animals were sacrificed under carbon dioxide anaesthesia, subjected to necropsy and gross pathological examination.

In Step-I and Step-I confirmation, the animals dosed with 300 mg/kg body weight did not reveal any clinical signs of toxicity or mortality.

In Step-II, the animals dosed with 2000 mg/kg body weight revealed clinical signs like lethargy, soft faeces and recumbency. All the animals were found dead by day 2 observation. No changes were observed in body weight and percent change in body weight with respect to day 1 at 300 mg/kg bw. All the surviving animals revealed physiologically normal increase in the body weight.No gross pathological changes were observed in any of the animals dosed at 300 mg/kg and 2000 mg/kg body weight.

Based on the findings of this study the acute oral LD50 of the test item in rats is considered to be 300 < LD50 < 2000 mg/kg bw.
