Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:

Animals were kept in groups of 5 in Makrolon cages at 22 ±3 °C and 50 ±20% relative humidity with 12 hours ilumination per day. The acclimatisation period prior to dosing was minimum 5 days. 16 hours before application and 3 - 4 hours thereafter no feed was provided. Water was orvided ad libitum. Animals were individually marked with KMnO4 marks on fur and cages were clearly identifiable.

Executive summary:

The study on acute oral toxicity of Additol XL 465 (Hoechst name of EC 258-981-8 N,N'-(methylenedi-p-phenylene)bis[hexahydro-2-oxo-1H-azepine-1-carboxamide]) on male and female Wistar-rats results in a LD50 of >2000 mg/kg bw. After application of 2000 mg/kg bw no mortality was observed but slight symptoms.

At the day of application the animals showed symptoms crouch position, drawn-in flanks, irregular breathing (only male), reduced activity, uncoordinated movement (only female). From second day there were no symptoms observed.

No pathologic finding was observed.

The development of body weight was normal.

The result of the study is sufficient for classification.
