Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
oral: gavage
Vehicle:
propylene glycol
Details on oral exposure:
VEHICLE
- Concentration in vehicle: 200 mg/mL (w/w) (calculated from dose volume of 10 mL/kg and dose of 2000 mg/kg bw)
- Amount of vehicle (if gavage): 10 mL/kg bw
- Justification for choice of vehicle: based on trial formulations performed at the test lab

No. of animals per sex per dose:
3
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: observations for viabiliy and mortality: twice daily; clinical signs: at periodic intervals at the day of dosing and once daily thereafter until Day15 (for grading of symptoms see Table 1 under "any other information on material and methods including tables"); weighing: Day 1 pre-administration and on Days 8 and 15
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes
- Other examinations performed: clinical signs, body weight, gross pathology

Results and discussion

Effect levels
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
5 000 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
Remarks on result:
other: No effects were observed up to and including the highest dose level. According to OECD 423, the LD50 cut-off value is set at 5000 mg/kg bw.
Mortality:
No mortalities occurred.
Clinical signs:
Piloerection in 3/3 males and 3/3 females was seen 2 and 4 hours after dosing, in females it was still visible 1 day after dosing. Hunched posture for 3/3 females was noted 4 hours after dosing, for 1/3 females hunched posture was still seen 1 day after dosing. 3/3 male animals showed hunched posture already 2 hours after dosing. For 1/3 males this clinical sign was still detectable 2 days after dosing, whereas for the other 2 males it was reversed by one and two days after dosing. Further, 3/3 females showed uncoordinated movements 2 and 4 hours after dosing and 1/3 females showed chromodacryorrhoea 2 and 4 hours after dosing (see Table 2).
Body weight:
Slight body weight loss or reduced body weight gain was noted in the males between Days 8 and 15 (9.5%). No effects on body weight were noted in the females (see Table 3)
Gross pathology:
No abnormalities were found at macroscopic post mortem examination of the animals.
