Guideline:
other: ISO 10993 standard, part 11
GLP compliance:
not specified

Test animals

Species:

Strain:
other: OF1 Ico
Sex:

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
intraperitoneal
Vehicle:
other: 0.9% NaCl
Details on exposure:
Sterile Upsalite® powder was extracted for 72 ± 2 hours at 50˚C in stirred solutions of 0.9% NaCl . The ratio between the material and the extraction vehicle was 0.2 g/ml. The extracts were stored at room temperature before use for a maximum of 24 hours, and shaken immediately before use to ensure homogeneity of the extract.
Doses:
The ratio between the material and the extraction vehicle was 0.2 g/ml. Five female mice (OF1 Ico) per extract were injected at a dose of 50 ml/kg using the intrapertioneal (IP) route.
No. of animals per sex per dose:
5
Control animals:
yes
Details on study design:
The mice were observed for adverse reactions immediately after dosing (T0) and after 4, 24, 48 and 72 hours and were also weighted 24, 48 and 72 hours after the injection.

Results and discussion

Effect levels
Key result
Sex:
female
Dose descriptor:
LD0
Effect level:
ca. 0.01 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat. (total fraction)
Remarks on result:
other: NaCl Extract
Mortality:
There was no mortality.
Body weight:
The animal body weight for the 0.9% NaCl extract groups increased and there was no significant difference between the treatment and control group.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
As well, there was no evidence of significant systemic toxicity when saline extracts of Upsalite® were injected in mice.
