Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
oral: gavage
Vehicle:
other: 2% methyl cellulose
Doses:
2000 mg/kg bw
No. of animals per sex per dose:
3 per sex/dose
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
Three male and three female Wistar rats were dosed orally with the test item at 2000 mg/kg bw. The animals were observed for 0.5, 1, 2, 3 and 4 hours post-dose and then once daily for 14 days (males) or 19 days (females) for mortality, toxicity and pharmacological effects. Body weights were recorded at intervals to termination. All animals were examined for gross pathology on termination.

Results and discussion

Effect levels
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
other: Acute Tox Class
Effect level:
> 2 000 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
Mortality:
There were no mortalities.
Clinical signs:
other: Rigid muscle tone, abnormal gait, ataxia and soiling / wetness of the anogenital area were observed on day 1.
Gross pathology:
All necropsy results were normal.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 5 based on GHS criteria
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The LD50 was greater than 2000 mg/kg bw in rats. Accordingly, the test item was considered to be in Acute Toxic Category 5 or unclassified.
Executive summary:

Three male and three female Wistar rats were dosed orally with the test item at 2000 mg/kg bw. The animals were observed for 0.5, 1, 2, 3 and 4 hours post-dose and then once daily for 14 days (males) or 19 days (females) for mortality, toxicity and pharmacological effects. Body weights were recorded at intervals to termination. Body weight changes were normal in 4/6 animals. One female lost weight between days 7 and 19. Another female lost weight between days 14 and 19. All animals were examined for gross pathology on termination. Necropsy results were normal.

The LD50was greater than 2000 mg/kg bw in rats. Accordingly, the test item was considered to be in Acute Toxic Category 5 or unclassified.
