- Housing:Animals were housed in groups of up to 5, by sex, in grid-bottomed cages suspended over cardboard lined excreta trays
- Diet (e.g. ad libitum): ad libitum, pelleted diet (SQC Rat and Mouse Maintenance Diet No. 1 Expanded, Special Diet Services, Witham, Essex)
- Water (e.g. ad libitum): ad libitum, mains drinking water in polypropylene bottles
- Acclimation period: 5 days

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 19-26°C
- Humidity (%): 34-60%
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12/12

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
oral: gavage
Vehicle:
water
Details on oral exposure:
VEHICLE
- Concentration in vehicle: 100 mg/mL

MAXIMUM DOSE VOLUME APPLIED: 20 mL/kg

CLASS METHOD (if applicable)
- Rationale for the selection of the starting dose: In a preliminary study in one female and one male rat a dose of 2000 mg/kg bw was applied. Since no deaths occurred during the preliminary study the test item was similarly administrered to 5 female and 5 male rats.
Doses:
2000 mg/kg bw
No. of animals per sex per dose:
5
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: Observations were performed 30 min, 1h, 2h and 4h after dosing. Examinations were conducted daily thereafter. Bodyweight was recorded at the day of dosing and at day 1, 2, 3, 4, 8 and 15.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The LD50 of the test item was > 2000 mg/kg bw.
Executive summary:

In an acute oral toxicity study according to OECD Guideline 401 (1987) and EU method B.1 (1992), groups of fasted, 4-6 weeks old, Sprague Dawley rats (5 female/5 male) were given a single oral dose ofpolyglycerin caprinatein water at a dose of 2000 mg/kg bw and observed for 14 days.

 

Oral LD50 Males < 2000 mg/kg bw

      Females < 2000 mg/kg bw

      Combined < 2000 mg/kg bw

      no mortality occurred at the applied dose /limit test 

Polyglycerin caprinateis of low toxicity based on the LD50 in both sexes (not classified according to GHS criteria).
