Administration / exposure
- Route of administration:
- oral: gavage
- Vehicle:
- olive oil
- Details on oral exposure:
- Selection of doses
Based on the physical and chemical characteristics of the test substance and the composition no pronounced acute oral toxicity was expected. Therefore a dose of 2000 mg/kg body weight has been chosen in a first step with 3 male animals.
Because no mortality occurred, 2000 mg/kg body weight have been tested in a second step with animals of the other sex (3 female animals).
2000 mg/kg was administered at 40 mg/100mL in olive oil. 5 mL/kg was administered. - Doses:
- 2000 mg/kg
- No. of animals per sex per dose:
- Three males and three females
- Control animals:
- no
- Details on study design:
- Route of administration: Single oral administration by gavage.
Fasting period: The animals were given no feed at least 16 hours before administration, but water was available ad libitum.
Form of administration: Solution. Before application it was cooled down to body temperature.
Test substance formulation with: Olive oil
Reason for the vehicle: Good solubility of the test substance in olive oil
Time of administration: In the morning
Observation period: 14 days
Date of first administration: 23 June 1999
Date of last administration: 30 June 1999
Body weight determination: Individual body weights shortly before application (Day 0), weekly thereafter and at the end of the study (before fasting period); additionally animals that died or were sacrificed moribund.
Signs and symptoms: Recording of signs and symptoms several times on the day of administration, at least once each workday for the individual animals; these records were maintained with the raw data.
Mortality: A check for any dead or moribund animal was made twice each workday and once of Saturdays, Sundays and on public holidays.
Pathology: Necropsy at the last day of the observation period. Withdrawal of food at least 16 hours before killing with CO2; then necropsy with gross pathology examination. Necropsy of all animals that died before as early as possible. - Statistics:
- None specified

Any other information on results incl. tables
Analysis of the test substance
The degree of purity of the test substance was found to be 98.8 % by GC analysis.
The stability of the test substance has not been determined by reanalysis, because the study and the characterisation were performed in the same time period.
After heating at about 50°C the test substance was homogenous by visual inspection.
Analysis of test substance preparations
The stability of the test substance in olive oil for a time period of 4 hours was confirmed by analysis.
The test substance is soluble in olive oil after heating the test substance preparation at about 50°C and simultaneous homogenizing in an ultrasonic bath.
Analysis of Feed
In view of the aim and duration of the study the contaminants occurring in commercial feed should not influence the results.
Analysis of drinking water
In view of the aim and duration of the study there are no special requirements exceeding the specification of drinking water.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- Under the conditions of this study, the median lethal dose of the test substance after oral application was found to be greater than 2000 mg/kg body weight for the male and female animals.
- Executive summary:
The acute oral toxicity of the test substance was assessed according to OECD Test Guideline 423 (acute toxic class method), EU Method B.1 tris and EPA OPPTS 870.1100 using a single oral dose of the test material preparation in olive oil at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg body weight.
No mortality occurred. No abnormalities were noted at necropsy of animals sacrificed at the end of the study. Under the conditions of this study the median lethal dose of the test substance after oral application was found to be greater than 2000 mg/kg body weight for the male and female animals. The test substance is therefore not classified for acute oral toxicity.
