Based on:

Mortality:

Group 1 (2000 mg/kg bw): All female rats died on Day 1. All deaths might be a consequence of systemic toxic effects of the test item.
Group 2+3 (300 mg/kg bw): No mortality occurred. All rats in step 2 and step 3 survived until the end of the 14-day observation period.

Clinical signs:

other: Group 1 (2000 mg/kg bw): Decreased activity (15 cases out of 15 observations), incoordination (15/15), closed eyes (15/15) and piloerection (9/15). The score of symptoms was as follows: decreased activity (-3), incoordination (+3), closed eyes (+2) and pi

Gross pathology:

Group 1 (2000 mg/kg bw): External macroscopic changes like bloody urethral orifice were found in all animals and blood around the nose in one animal. Internal macroscopic changes like stomach full of gas, attenuated stomach wall, yellowish-bloody content in the intestines and bloody urine in the urinary bladder were recorded in all animals. These internal macroscopic changes observed were regarded as test item related.

Group 2+3 (300 mg/kg bw): No pathological changes were found related to the effect of the test item during the macroscopic examination.

Any other information on results incl. tables

The method used is not intended to allow for the calculation of a precise LD50 value. However, the test item is ranked into the following category according to current EU Regulation on classification, labelling and packaging (CLP) (EC) No 1272/2008:

Dose (mg/kg bw) Mortality (dead/treated) LD50 (mg/kg bw) CLP category 2000 3/3 (at 1^st step) 500 Category 4 300 0/6

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

Category 4 based on GHS criteria

Conclusions:

For this acute oral toxicity study with the test item, the determined LD50 is 500 mg/kg bw in rats.

Executive summary:

An acute oral toxicity study was carried out under GLP conditions using the class method according to OECD guideline 423. The method was conducted using a stepwise procedure with 2000 mg/kg bw as the starting dose in three female rats. The starting dose was selected on the basis of the available information about the test item. The test item was not expected to be lethal at 2000 mg/kg bw on the basis of safety data sheet (acute oral LD50 is 3050 mg/kg bw in rat). Since all animals died in 2000 mg/kg bw, a full test was performed. Since all animals died in the first step by day 1, further three female rats were treated with the lower (300 mg/kg bw) dose. No animal died in second step, and further three animals were treated with the same dose. No animal died in third step, too. The test was finished as a stopping criterion of Annex 2d of OECD Guideline No. 423 was met. Animals were weighed and observed for lethality and toxic symptoms for 14 days after the treatment. Gross pathological examination was carried out in animals that died on day 1, as well as in animals that survived until the end of the observation period on day 15.

 

Lethality, Clinical symptoms and Body weight:
All three animals treated with 2000 mg/kg bw of the test item died on day 1. No lethality was noted at a single oral dose of 300 mg/kg bw. In group 1, at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg bw, CNS-symptoms and abnormal movement (decreased activity, closed eyes), disturbances of the coordination (incoordination) and disturbance of the autonomic functions (piloerection) were observed in animals. These symptoms were detected on the treatment day between 30 minutes and 4 hours after the treatment. In group 2 and 3, at a dose level of 300 mg/kg bw, CNS-symptoms and abnormal movement (decreased activity, closed eyes), disturbance of the coordination (incoordination) and disturbances of the autonomic functions (piloerection, salivation) were observed in animals. These symptoms were detected on the treatment day between 30 minutes and 4 hours after the treatment. The body weight development was normal in all surviving animals.

 

Gross pathology:
Altogether 3 animals died, and 6 animals were sacrificed according to schedule at the end of the study period. External findings included bloody urethral orifice and blood around the nose. Internal findings included stomach full of gas, attenuated stomach wall, yellowish-bloody content in the intestines. Bloody urine in the urinary bladder was observed in group 1, as well. These findings were regarded as test item related. All of the animals treated with 300 mg/kg bw proved to be free of treatment related gross pathological changes.

 

Evaluation:

The method used is not intended to allow for the calculation of a precise LD50 value. However the test item is ranked into CLP category 4 according to current EU Regulation on classification, labelling and packaging (CLP) (EC) No 1272/2008. For this acute oral toxicity study with the test item in rats the determined LD50 is 500 mg/kg bw.
