Administration / exposure

Route of administration:

oral: gavage

Vehicle:

DMSO

Details on oral exposure:

VEHICLE
- Concentration in vehicle:
* First step: 2.0000 g of test item in a 10 mL volumetric flask and filled up with DMSO
* Second and third steps: 0.3006 g and 0.3000 g of test item in two 10 mL volumetric flasks and filled up with DMSO

- Amount of vehicle (if gavage):10mL /kg bw

- Justification for choice of vehicle: Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) was chosen as it produced the most suitable formulation at the requested concentration.


MAXIMUM DOSE VOLUME APPLIED: 10mL /kg bw

Doses:

* Step 1: 2000 mg of test item /kg bw
* Step 2 and 3 : 300 mg of test item /kg bw

No. of animals per sex per dose:

3 female rats per dose

Control animals:

no

Details on study design:

- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days

- Frequency of observations and weighing:
* Observations: performed daily
* Weighing : at day 0 (just before administration of the test item), day 2, day 7 and day 14

- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes. were euthanized with sodium pentobarbital (Dolethal®).
Only those organs likely to be modified in cases of acute toxicity were examined. No organ was removed and preserved in view to microscopic examinations.

- Other examinations performed: clinical signs, body weight,organ weights, histopathology, other:
Macroscopic examinations at the end of the study (after euthanisia) with the examination of organs
likely to be modified in cases of acute toxicity (i.e. oesophagus, stomach, the entire digestif tract, spleen, liver, thymus, trachea, lungs, heart, kidneys, urinary bladder, ovaries, uterus, treatment area,adrenals, pancreas).

Effect level:

> 300 - < 2 000 mg/kg bw

Based on:

test mat.

Mortality:

- Step 1: 3 mortalities in animals treated at 2000 mg test item /kg bw (between 1 and 3 hours post dose)


- Step 2 and 3: No mortality in animals treated at 300 mg test item /kg bw

Clinical signs:

other: At 2000 mg test item /kg bw, the mortalities were preceded by : - a decrease in spontaneous activity (3/3) - righting reflex (1/3) - a decrease of muscle tones (2/3) - an increase of muscle tones (1/3) associated with mydriasis (1/3) - eyes partly close

Other findings:

- Other observations:

* Step 1: At 2000 mg test item /kg bw :

Macroscopic examination :
- thinning of corpus (3/3),
- blue stomach contents (3/3).


* Steps 2 and 3 : At 300 mg test item /kg bw:
Macroscopic examination :

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

Category 4 based on GHS criteria

Conclusions:

The LD50 of the test item is higher than 300 mg/kg body weight and lower than 2000 mg/kg by oral route in the rat.

In accordance with the O.E.C.D. Test Guideline No. 423, the LD50 cut-off of the test item may be considered as 500 mg/kg body weight by oral route in the rat.

According to the criteria for classification, packaging and labelling of dangerous substances and preparations in accordance with the Regulation EC No. 1272/2008, the test item has to be classified in category 4.

The signal word “Warning” and hazard statement H302 “Harmful if swallowed” are required.

Executive summary:

The test item was administered to a group of 3 female Sprague Dawley rats at the dose of 2000 mg/kg body weight and then to a group of 6 female Sprague Dawley rats at the dose of 300 mg/kg body weight.

The experimental protocol was established according to O.E.C.D. Test Guideline No. 423 dated 17 December 2001 concerning acute oral toxicity and the test method B.1tris of Council regulation No.440/2008 dated 30 May 2008.

Three mortalities were noted in animals treated at the dose of 2000 mg/kg body weight between 1 and 3 hours post-dose.

The mortalities were preceded by a decrease in spontaneous activity (3/3), righting reflex (1/3), a decrease of muscle tones (2/3), an increase of muscle tones (1/3) associated with mydriasis (1/3), eyes partly closed (3/3), tremors (2/3) and tonic convulsions (1/3).

The macroscopic examination of the animals revealed a thinning of corpus (3/3), and blue stomach contents (3/3).

No mortality was noted in animals treated at the dose of 300 mg/kg body weight.

No clinical signs related to the administration of the test item were observed during the study.

The body weight evolution of the animals treated at the dose of 300 mg/kg body weight remained normal during the study.

The macroscopic examination of the animals at the end of the study revealed a red forestomach (1/6).

In conclusion, the LD50 of the test item is higher than 300 mg/kg body weight and lower than 2000 mg/kg by oral route in the rat.

In accordance with the O.E.C.D. Test Guideline No. 423, the LD50 cut-off of the test item may be considered as 500 mg/kg body weight by oral route in the rat.

According to the criteria for classification, packaging and labelling of dangerous substances and preparations in accordance with the Regulation EC No. 1272/2008, the test item has to be classified in category 4. The signal word “Warning” and hazard statement H302 “Harmful if swallowed” are required.
