Test animals

Species:

rat

Strain:

Wistar

Sex:

female

Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:

35730 was administered by oral gavage to two consecutive groups of three female Wistar rats at 2000 mg/kg body weight. Animals were subjected to daily observations and weekly determination of body weight. Macroscopic examination was performed after terminal sacrifice (Day 15). The animals were allowed to acclimate to the Test Facility toxicology accommodation for at least 5 days before the commencement of dosing.

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:

oral: gavage

Vehicle:

polyethylene glycol

Remarks:

Polyethylene glycol 400

Details on oral exposure:

A single dose of test item was administered to the appropriate animals by oral gavage on Day 1, using a syringe with a plastic gavage cannula attached.
The dose volume for each animal was based on the body weight measurement prior to dosing. A dose volume of 10 mL/kg body weight was used for each dose.
The dosing formulations were stirred continuously during dose administration. Animals were deprived of food overnight (for a maximum of 20 hours) prior to dosing and until 3-4 hours after administration of the test item. Water was available.

Doses:

The dose levels were based on the OECD test guidelines and were selected from the series 5 (lowest dose level), 50, 300 and 2000 (highest dose level) mg/kg body weight. The starting dose level should be the one that is likely to produce mortality in at least some of the animals and was selected based on available toxicity data of the test item.
A single dose of test item was administered to the appropriate animals by oral gavage on Day 1, using a syringe with a plastic gavage cannula attached.
The dose volume for each animal was based on the body weight measurement prior to dosing. A dose volume of 10 mL/kg body weight was used for each dose.
Animals were deprived of food overnight (for a maximum of 20 hours) prior to dosing and until 3-4 hours after administration of the test item. Water was available.

No. of animals per sex per dose:

6 Females (nulliparous and non-pregnant). Each dose group consisted of 3 animals.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

Category 5 based on GHS criteria

Conclusions:

The oral LD50 value of 35730 in Wistar rats was established to exceed 2000 mg/kg body weight.
According to the OECD 423 test guideline, the LD50 cut-off value was considered to exceed 5000 mg/kg body weight.

Executive summary:

Based on these results:

   according to the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) of the United Nations (2017) (including all amendments), 35730 should be classified as:  may be harmful if swallowed (Category 5) for acute toxicity by the oral route.

   according to the Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 on classification, labelling and packaging of items and mixtures (including all amendments), 35730 does not have to be classified and has no obligatory labelling requirement for oral toxicity.
