Results and discussion

Effect levels
Key result
Sex:
female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 300 - < 2 000 mg/kg bw
Mortality:
Mortality of 3/6 females at limit dose of 2000 mg/kg body weight was noted. All 6/6 females
survived the dose of 300 mg/kg body weight.
Clinical signs:
other: Test item-related mortality in females treated with the test item in dose of 2000 mg/kg body weight was not observed during the 48 hours. Lethargy was observed in 2 animals (No 2, 6) between 0.5-1 hour post-treatment. Toxicity sings as piloerection (anima
Gross pathology:
Animals No 4 and 6 (dose 2000 mg/kg) could not be necropsied because cadavers were autolysed.
Gastric erosions, petechial haemorrhages on the gastric mucosa, splenomegaly, hepatomegaly,
diffuse scattered formations extending above the hepatic parenchyma and hepatic steatosis were
registered in animals surviving the 14-day observation period.
All animals treated with dose of 300 mg/kg body weight were necropsied. During necropsy, no
macroscopic findings were noticed

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 4 based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
The LD50 of the test item Estragole is higher than 300 mg/kg body weight and lower than 2000
mg/kg body weight after single oral administration to Wistar rats.
