ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS: not indicated

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
oral: gavage
Vehicle:
water
Details on oral exposure:
VEHICLE
- Amount of vehicle (if gavage): constant volume of 20 ml/kgBW
- Concentration in vehicle: dose between 1.0 to 8 g/kgBW, thus concentration between 50 - 400 g/L
- Justification for choice of vehicle: Leads to acceptable emulsion
- Lot/batch no. (if required): not indicated
- Purity: not indicated

MAXIMUM DOSE VOLUME APPLIED: constant volume of 20 ml/kgBW

- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes/no
- Other examinations performed: clinical signs, body weight,organ weights, histopathology, other: Clinical signs at least daily. Macroscopic post mortem examination.
Statistics:
LD50 calculated according to Thompson WR (1947) Bact. Reviews 11, 115.

Results and discussion

Preliminary study:
dose-range study with 5 dose levels: 1.0, 2.0, 4.0, 6.0 and 8.0 g/kgBW
At 1.0 and 2.0 g/kg no deaths occurred. At higher levels all animals died. (See table for further information)
Effect levels
Sex:
male
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
ca. 4 000 mg/kg bw
95% CL:
3 400 - 4 800

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 5 based on GHS criteria
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
LD50 = 4 g/kgBW
Executive summary:

The acute oral toxicity of Berolamine AA15 was investigated in male Sprague Dawley rats. The Median Lethal Dose and its 95% confidence limits were calculated to be 4.0 (3.4 -4.8) g/kg. As such this material may be classified as category 5 for acute toxicity hazard (GHS).
