- Fasting period before study: yes, fasting for approximately 16 hours
- Housing: Groups of five per sex in Makrolon type-4 cages with autoclaved standard softwood bedding ("Lignocel", Schill AG, CH-4132 Muttenz).
- Diet: Pelleted standard Kliba 343, Batch no. 82/94 rat maintenance diet ("Kliba", Klingentalmuehle AG, CH-4303 Kaiseraugst) available ad libitum (except for the overnight fasting period prior to application).

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
oral: gavage
Vehicle:
corn oil
Details on oral exposure:
VEHICLE
- concentration in vehicle: 200 mg/mL
- Amount of vehicle (if gavage): 10 ml/kg bw
- Justification for choice of vehicle: standard vehicle according to guideline
Doses:
single dose of 2000 mg/kg bw
No. of animals per sex per dose:
5 males and 5 females
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing:
Mortality / Viability: Four times during test day 1 and daily for surviving animals during days 2-15.
Body Weights: On test day 1 (pre-administration), 8 and 15 for surviving animals.
Clinical Signs: Each animal was examined for changes in appearance and behaviour four times during day 1, and once daily for surviving animals during days 2-15. All abnormalities were recorded.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes
At the end of the observation period all surviving animals were anesthetized by intraperitoneal injection of NARCOREN (Rhone Merieux GmbH, D-88471 Laupheim, Germany) at a dose of at least 2.0 mL/kg body weight (equivalent to at least 320 mg sodium pentobarbitone/kg bw) and sacrificed by exsan- guination. The animals were examined macroscopically and all abnormalities recorded.
Statistics:
No statistical assessment was performed due to lack of mortality.
