Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
In an acute oral toxicity study, groups of fasted rats, (5/sex/dose) were given a single oral dose (gavage) of Cyclooctene (10.0 mL/kg bw dilution in paraffine) and were observed for 14 days. Oral LD50 was 4550 mg/kg bw.
Executive summary:

In an acute oral toxicity study, groups of fasted rats, (5/sex/dose) were given a single oral dose (gavage) of Cyclooctene (10.0 mL/kg bw dilution in paraffine) and were observed for 14 days. Oral LD50 was 4550 mg/kg bw. The signs of toxicity observed about 90 minutes after application were ruffled fur, ataxia, prone position, crouched posture, staggering gait, agitation, spasms, tremor and sedation. With the animals surviving the treatment, the findings had disappeared after nine days at the latest. Dissection post mortem revealed redness of the gastro-intestinal mucosa and a deep-red or grey discoloration of the lungs.

Among the animals surviving the treatment, at the end of the period of observation 2 animals from the 3980 mg/kg bw dose group showed erythema of the small intestinal mucosa and fusion of organs in the abdominal cavity, and one animal of the highest dose group showed fluid accumulation in the fallopian tube. In all other cases, dissection revealed no organ findings
