Administration / exposure

Route of administration:

oral: gavage

Vehicle:

water

Details on oral exposure:

Ten mice, five male and five female, were assigned to the dose groups. The test substance was administered once by gavage to mice. The mice were deprived of feed 3 to 4 hours before the administration of the test substance. Water was allowed ad libitum. At the end of the observation period the surviving experimental animals were sacrificed, gross necropsy performed and all the animals carefully examined.

VEHICLE: water
DOSE VOLUME : 1 ml/ 100 g

Preliminary range finding study conducted:
Two mice per sex per dose were assigned to treatment as follows:

Group No. No. of mice/sex Doses (ml/kg)
1 2 5.000
2 2 2.500
3 2 1.250
4 2 0.625

The mice were observed for toxic symptoms and mortality for 7 days after dosing.

LD50 in mice:
From the data obtained in the preliminary range find study, 10 mice (5 male and 5 female) were assigned to the treatment as follows:

Group No. No. of mice/sex Dose (ml/kg)

The mice were observed for toxic symptoms and mortality for 14 days after dosing.

Doses:

Preliminary range finding study conducted:
Dose range 0.625-5.0 ml/kg

Actual Dose study: 5.0 ml/kg (5000 mg/kg bw)

No. of animals per sex per dose:

Preliminary range finding study conducted with two mice per sex per dose assigned to treatment.

LD50 in mice:
From the data obtained in the preliminary range find study, 10 mice (5 male and 5 female) were assigned to the treatment.

Control animals:

no

Details on study design:

Observations:

Clinical observations:
Toxic symptoms and mortality were recorded at 1/2, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 24 hours and later twice a day thereafter upto 14 days to determine their general health, behaviour and moribund condition. Any abnormality observed during this period was recorded and the subsequent progress monitored.

Body weight: Animals were weighed individually on the day and on the day test substance was administered, weekly therefater and prior to sacrifice.

Necropsy: A gross necropsy was performed on all animals that died during the course of the test and sacrificed at the termination of the test.

Statistics:

No statistics reported.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

The LD50 value of "Galaxy-Sunbeat (S-382)" according to the Gaitonde Commitee Guidelines, in albino mice by the oral route, following the methods of Litchfield and Wilcoxon (1949) was found to be greater than 5.0 ml/kg (5000 mg/kg bw).

Executive summary:

The objective of the study was to determine the acute oral toxicity of "Galaxy-Sunbeat (S-382)" to albino mice following the Gaitonde Committee protocol.

The test material was administered by gavage to five mice per sex at the limit test. The mice were observed for 14 days after treatment.

Group 1 (5.000 ml/kg ): The test material caused no mortality. Urination was seen in 2 males and 1 female at four hours after dosing. All the animals appeared normal and showed no clinical signs of intoxication from day 1 till the end of the study.

The LD50 value of "Galaxy-Sunbeat (S-382)" in mice by the oral route was found to be greater than 5.000 ml/kg.
