> 2 000 mg/kg bw

Based on:

test mat.

Remarks on result:

other: No effect so no statistics

None

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

practically nontoxic

Remarks:

Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU

Conclusions:

Since no dose resulted in mortality, the LD50 was estimated to be higher than 2500 mg/kg.

Executive summary:

The objective of the study was to evaluate the potential acute toxicity of WP30 when administered once orally, by gavage in female Wistar rats followed by 14 days of observation.

A stepwise procedure was used, with a maximum of 2 steps per dose-level; each step using 3 animals aged 8 to 12 weeksat the time of dosing. The starting dose was fixed at 300 mg/kg; 2000 mg/kg was then tested because of absence of mortality at 300 mg/kg. For both dose-levels, 2 steps were performed.

WP30 was mixed with corn oil and administered at a dosing volume of 10 mL/kg.

Parameters evaluated included mortality, and clinical signs which were recorded twice daily. Body weights were measured on days 1, 3, 8 and 15, and necropsy findings noted for all animals on day 15.

No mortality occured and no abnormal clinical sign was observed at either dose-leveel.
