Applicant's summary and conclusion

Remarks:
Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
In the test condition, the substance is considered as nontoxic after oral administration of 1000 mg/kg/day during 14 consecutive days.
Executive summary:

The dose-range-finding toxicity study has been realized according OCDE 407 method on 24 animals (wistar rats - 12 females and 12 males). The test item was administrated by oral gavage at 100, 500 or 1000 mg/kg/day during 14 consecutive days. Animals were observed twice daily from J0 (oral administration) to J14.

Repeated oral (gavage) administration of Phytosqualan to Wistar Hannover rats at doses up to 1000 mg/kg/day for 14 days resulted in no mortality or relevant clinical signs.

The effects observed on clinical biochemistry analysis such as slightly lower protein count, lower calcium values and increased ALP values (in females) with respect to the Control group are considered non-adverse effects.

The relevance of the effects on thyroid, liver and kidney weights of males treated at 1000 mg/kg remains unclear in the absence of a microscopic examination. In any case, they should not be considered toxicologically relevant because there was no evidence of liver or kidney impairment in the clinical laboratory investigations.
