Mortality:
One female died within 3 hours after dosing. As the lung was bluish discoloured, it may be that part of the test substance was inhaled during gavage.
Clinical signs:
other: On day 1, males + females showed reduced activity, pale skin; from 2 hours onwards bluish discolored skin. On day 1 and 2, bluish discolored feces were reported. Female rats, from 2 hours until end of day 1 showed hunched posture; one animal showed narro
Gross pathology:
Death female showed blue liquid in gastrointestinal tract; lung partially bluish discoloured; skin light bluish discoloured. One male showed lung reddish discoloured.
All other rats were without abnormal findings.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: not classified according to CLP Regulation (EC 1272/2008)
Conclusions:
Based on result after 14-day observation period, test substance is considered as non toxic by oral administration with LD50 > 5000 mg/kg.
More precisely, LD10 = 5000 mg/kg, corresponding to 1800 mg/kg as active ingredient.
Executive summary:

Method

Test substance was tested in male and female Wistar rats at a dose of 5000 mg/kg bw.

Results

Test substance showed a medium lethal dose (LD50) of above 5000 mg/kg bodyweight in male and female rats. In particular, 5000 mg/kg, i.e. 1800 mg/kg as active ingredient, corresponded to a LD10 value.
