Specific details on test material used for the study:
TREATMENT OF TEST MATERIAL PRIOR TO TESTING
The test item preparation was made directly before administration. Appropriate amounts of the test item were suspended in the vehicle using a spatula, a mini shaker (Vortex Genie 2®, Scientific Industries Inc, New York, USA), Ultra-Turrax device (Ultra-Turrax T25, IKA®-Werke GmbH & Co. KG, Staufen, Germany) and a magnetic stirrer. The test item preparation was administered within less than 1 hour after preparation. The stability of the test item in the vehicle was not investigated.

Objective

The objective of the present study was to identify potential toxic effects of the test item after single oral administration to rats in a stepwise procedure.

Study Design

The study was started with 2000 mg/kg bw in 3 female rats and continued with further 3 females treated with 2000 mg/kg bw.

Mortality and clinical signs were monitored for at least 6 hours after administration and then daily. All animals were weighed before treatment (day 1) and on days 2, 4, 6, 8, 11, 13, and 15. At the end of the observation period, all surviving rats were sacrificed and subjected to a detailed necropsy.

Results

No mortality occurred during the course of this study.

No clinical signs of toxicity were observed.

The body weight development was inconspicuous throughout the study.

The gross pathological examination revealed no organ alterations.

Conclusion

The test item has no acute toxic potential under the conditions of the present study, and the LD50 value is higher than 2000 mg/kg after single oral administration in female rats.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The test item has no acute toxic potential under the conditions of the present study, and the LD50 value is higher than 2000 mg/kg after single oral administration in female rats.
Executive summary:

This study was performed according to GLP and is fully compliant with OECD TG 423. The test item has no acute toxic potential under the conditions of the present study, and the LD50value is higher than 2000 mg/kg after single oral administration in female rats.
