Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
oral: gavage
Vehicle:
other: Helianthi annui oleum raffinatum
Details on oral exposure:
All doses were formulated in the vehicle. Concentration of formulations was adjusted to maintain a treatment volume
of 10 mL/kg bw. The test item was applied in a concentration of 200 and 30 mg/mL. Formulations were prepared just
before the administration and were stirred continuously during the treatment.

Vehicle:
Name: Helianthi annui oleum raffinatum
Batch number: 1607-4569
Date of expiration: 30.11.2017
Produced by: Parma Produkt Kft.

The acute toxic class method was carried out involving a stepwise procedure with the use of 2000 mg/kg bw as the starting
dose in three female rats. All females died, so the test was continued at 300 mg/kg bw dose level on further three female rats.
No animal died in the second step at 300 mg/kg bw dose level, three further female rats were treated with the same (300 mg/kg bw) dose.
No animal died in the third step, too, so the test was finished, the stopping criteria of Annex 2d of OECD Guideline No. 423. was met.
Doses:
2000 mg/kg bw
300 mg/kg bw
No. of animals per sex per dose:
2000 mg/kg bw: 3 animals
300 mg/kg bw: 6 animals
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
5 days in first step, 6 days in second step and 7 days in third step of acclimatization, treatment’s day,
14 days post-treatment observation period, necropsy on Day 15.

Frequency of observations:
Animals were observed individually after dosing at least once during the first 30 minutes, then 1 h, 2 h, 3 h, 4 h after the treatment
and once each day for 14 days thereafter.

Body weight measurement:
The body weights were recorded on day 0 (just before the treatment), on day 1, on day 7 and on day 15 with a precision of 1 g.

Necropsy:
All animals treated with 2000 mg/kg bw dose spontaneously died during the study and were necropsied on Day 1.
All animals treated with 300 mg/kg bw dose survived until the scheduled necropsy on Day 15.
Statistics:
No statistics was used in the study.

Results and discussion

Effect levels
Key result
Sex:
female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 300 - < 2 000 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
Mortality:
All rats dosed at 2000 mg/kg bw died on Day 1.
No death occurred at 300 mg/kg bw single oral dose of the test item.
Clinical signs:
other: 2000 mg/kg bw: CNS - and emotion symptoms (decreased activity, bedding digging, closed eyes), disturbances of coordination (incoordination, prone position), decreased righting reflex, decreased muscular tension (grip- and limb tone, body tone, abdominal
Gross pathology:
All animals treated with 2000 mg/kg bw dose died spontaneously during the study and were necropsied on the Day 1.
All animals treated with 300 mg/kg bw dose survived until the scheduled autopsy on Day 15.
Autopsy revealed treatment related internal changes as haemorrhaged mucous membrane in the stomach, urinary bladder full of urine,
stomach full of gas and spotted liver in 2000 mg/kg bw dose group.
All organs of the animals treated with 300 mg/kg bw proved to be free of treatment related gross pathological changes.

Any other information on results incl. tables

A single oral administration - followed by a fourteen-day observation period - was performed by gavage.

The day before treatment the animals were fasted. The food but not water was withheld overnight.

Animals were weighed before the application and the food was given back 3 hours after the treatment.

Starting dose was selected on the basis of the available information about the test item.

The acute toxic class method was carried out involving a stepwise procedure with the use of 2000 mg/kg bw

as the starting dose in three female rats. All females died, so the test was continued at 300 mg/kg bw dose level

on further three female rats. No animal died in the second step at 300 mg/kg bw dose level, three further female rats

were treated with the same (300 mg/kg bw) dose.

No animal died in the third step, too, so the test was finished, the stopping criteria of Annex 2d

of OECD Guideline No. 423. was met.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 4 based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
The test item was ranked into classes of Globally Harmonized Classification System (GHS)
described in the OECD Guideline No. 423 as below:

Dose (mg/kg bw) 2000 300
Mortality (dead/treated) 3/3 0/6
LD50 (mg/kg bw) between 300 and 2000
GHS category 4

The estimated LD50 value is 500 mg/kg bw on basis of LD50 cut off mg/kg bw, because three animals died in 2000 mg/kg bw at 1st step.

A single oral administration - followed by a fourteen-day observation period - was performed by gavage.
