Route of administration:

oral: gavage

Vehicle:

methylcellulose

Remarks:

Methocel K4M Premium

Details on oral exposure:

VEHICLE
- Concentration in vehicle: 100 g/L
- Amount of vehicle: 20 mL/kg bw
- Lot/batch no.: ZDP 42/97

MAXIMUM DOSE VOLUME APPLIED: 20 mL/kg bw

Doses:

2000 mg/kg bw

No. of animals per sex per dose:

3 (m) / 3 (f)

Control animals:

no

Details on study design:

- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: observation: for 6 h after administration and daily afterwards; weighting: before treatment and on days 2, 4, 6, 8, 11, 13, and 15
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes
- Other examinations performed: clinical signs, body weight

Statistics:

The body weight data were recorded with the PC-program ,,AKUDAT". The statistical evaluations of the body weight were carried out with PC. The body weight development of each rat and group was determined. The group mean value was calculated for each measurement and printed on tables.

At necropsy no organ alterations were seen.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

According to the results of this acute oral toxicity study the LD50 is greater than 2000 mg/kg bw.

Executive summary:

The purpose of this acute toxicity study was to provide information on possible health hazards in case of acute oral contact with a test material and serve as a a rational basis for risk assessment to the acute toxicity potential of the test item in man. The test material was tested for acute toxicity in rats. The acute toxic class method was used and 2000 mg/kg bw test item were administered by gavage. Directly before the administration the test material was prepared with aqueous Methocel K4M Premium solution as vehicle. No signs of toxicity were detected in the 3 male and 3 female rats after treatment and no rat died. The gross pathological examination revealed no organ alterations. According to the results of this study the LD50 for the test material was determined to be greater than 2000 mg/kg bw.
