TEST ANIMALS

- Fasting period before study:
- Housing: plastic cages covered with wi re bar lids. The dimensions of the cages were 58 x 37 x 21 cm (length x width x height).
- Diet (e.g. ad libitum): “Murigran” standard granulated laboratory fodder, ad libitum.
- Water (e.g. ad libitum): drinking tap water, ad libitum.
- Acclimation period: 5 days

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 21 – 23 °C
- Humidity (%): 40 – 58%
- Air changes (per hr): about 16 times/hour
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12 hours light/12 hours dark

Route of administration:

oral: gavage

Vehicle:

corn oil

Details on oral exposure:

VEHICLE
- Concentration in vehicle: 400 mg/mL
- Amount of vehicle (if gavage): 1 mL

MAXIMUM DOSE VOLUME APPLIED: 0.5 mL/100 g b.w.

- Rationale for the selection of the starting dose: The starting dose for the preliminary experiment was selected from the fixed dose levels of 5, 50, 300, and 2000 mg/kg b.w. as a dose expected to produce evident toxicity. Since no data were available, the preliminary experiment started with the administration of the test item at a dose of 300 mg/kg b.w to one female rat. Since no evident toxicity was produced, the test item at a single dose of 2000 mg/kg b.w. was administered to the second animal. The animal treated with the test item at a dose of 2000 mg/kg b.w. survived the experiment. On the grounds of the preliminary experiment results, the dose of 2000 mg/kg b.w. was selected to be used in the main experiment.

Doses:

Sighting study: 300 and 2000 mg/kg b.w.
Main study: 2000 mg/kg b.w.

No. of animals per sex per dose:

2 females in the sighting study.
4+1 (from the preliminary study) females in the main study.

Control animals:

no

Details on study design:

- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days.
- Frequency of observations and weighing: body weights were determined on days 0 (directly before the administration of the test item), 7, and 14 (before euthanasia).
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes.
- Other examinations performed:
General condition: the observation of all animals for morbidity and mortality was conducted twice a day or once a day (on days off) during the 14-day experiment.
Detailed clinical observations: the detailed clinical observations were performed on the day of the test item administration (day 0), i.e. 10, 30, and 60 minutes after the administration and then at hourly intervals up to the 5th hour after the administration. From the 1st to the 14th day of the experiment, the detailed clinical observations were performed once a day.
Gross examinations: After the 14-day observation period, all animals were euthanized by intraperitoneal administration of Morbital at a dose of 200 mg/kg b.w. and subjected to gross examinations. The detailed gross examinations involved the observation of the external body surface, all natural apertures, and the cranial, thoracic, and abdominal cavities with their content.

Preliminary study:

Following single administration of the test item at a dose of 300 mg/kg b.w. to the first animal used in the preliminary experiment, no signs of toxicity were stated. The animal survived the experiment.
Following single administration of the test item at a dose of 2000 mg/kg b.w. to the other animal used in the preliminary experiment, the rounded back, slightly decreased locomotor activity, and dejection were stated on the administration day. The animal survived the experiment.

Sex:

female

Dose descriptor:

LD50

Effect level:

> 2 000 mg/kg bw

Based on:

test mat.

Mortality:

All animals survived the experiment.

Clinical signs:

other: The rounded back, slightly decreased locomotor activity, and dejection were stated in all animals on the administration day.

Gross pathology:

The animals did not exhibit any pathological changes.

Interpretation of results:

not classified

Remarks:

Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU

Conclusions:

No mortality was observed following single administration of the test item at a dose of 2000 mg/kg bw in rats. The test substance is not classified according to the CLP Regulation (EC) no 1272/2008.

Executive summary:

The acute oral toxicity study on Wistar rats was performed according to the OECD Guideline 420 and EU Method B.1. bis, following the Principles of GLP. The test item was prepared as an oil suspension in a volume of 0.5 mL/100 b.w. and it was administered with a metal stomach tube. A preliminary experiment started with the administration of 300 mg/kg b.w. of the test item to one animal. Since no evident toxicity was observed, a second animal was dosed at 2000 mg/kg b.w. The animal survived the experiment but presented signs of toxicity: rounded back, slightly decreased locomotor activity, and dejection were stated on the administration day.

In the main experiment 4 animals received 2000 mg/kg b.w of the test item. After the administration of the test item, the animals were observed for 14 days. General and detailed clinical observations were conducted daily during the entire experiment. Body weights of the animals were determined on days 0, 7, and 14. All the animals survived the experiment and were euthanized after the observation period. Gross examinations did not reveal any pathological changes in the examined animals. On the basis of these results, the test substance is not classified according to the CLP Regulation (EC) no 1272/2008.

Additional information

Acute toxicity: via oral route: Key study: The acute oral toxicity study on rats was performed according to the OECD Guideline 420 and EU Method B.1. bis, (GLP study). On the grounds of the preliminary experiment results, four animals used in the main experiment were given the test item at a dose of 2000 mg/kg b.w. The test item in the form of an oil suspension was administered with a metal stomach tube. After the administration of the test item, the animals were observed for clinical observations and body weight determinations during 14 days. The animals survived the experiment. After the 14-day observation period, the animals were euthanized and subjected a detailed gross examination. Gross examinations did not reveal any pathological changes in the examined animals.

On the basis of these results, the test substance is not classified according to the CLP Regulation (EC) no 1272/2008.

Justification for selection of acute toxicity – oral endpoint
Only one study available.

Justification for classification or non-classification

The test substance is not classified for acute toxicity according to CLP Regulation (EC) no 1272/2008.
