Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: not classified
Conclusions:
The lethal concentration LD50 value for acute oral toxicity test was considered to be >2000 mg/kg bw,when female wistar rats were treated with test chemical orally via gavage according to OECD Guideline 423 (Acute Oral toxicity - Acute Toxic Class Method).
Executive summary:

Acute Oral Toxicity Study of test chemical in female wistar Rats.This study was performed as per OECD Guideline No. 423. Twelve female Wistar rats were selected for acute oral toxicity study. The animals were fasted for minimum 16-18 hours prior to dosing and for 4 hours post dosing, with food withheld but drinking water providedad libitum. The time intervals between dosing were determined by the onset, duration and severity of toxic signs. Three rats of group G1 were dosed with starting dose of 300 mg/kg body weight and the animals showed no mortality post dosing, so another three rats of the same group were dosed with 300 mg/kg weight and no mortality was observed.Hence, three rats of group G2 were dosed with starting dose of 2000 mg/kg body weight and the animals showed no mortality post dosing, so another three rats of the same group were dosed with 2000 mg/kg weight and no mortality was observed.Hence, further dosing was stopped.Body weights were recorded on day 0 (prior to dosing) 7 and 14. Mean body weight of animals treated with 300 and 2000 mg/kg body weight was observed with gain on day 7 and 14, as compared to day 0.At 300 and 2000 mg/kg, all the animals were observed with normal clinical sign till day 14.No external and internal gross pathological examination were seen in all the animals treated with 300 and 2000 mg/kg body weight during terminal sacrifice.The acute oral LD50 value of test chemical was >2000 mg/kg body weight. Thus, it was concluded that the acute toxicity study of test chemical, when administered via oral route in Sprague Dawley rats falls into the “Category Unclassified” criteria of CLP.
