3. No mortality was observed in the animals treated with 2000 mg/Kg dose throughout the 14 days observation period

Clinical signs:

Group I Step II : Animals treated at the dose level of 300 mg/kg body weight did not result in any signs of toxicity during the study period of 14 days.
Group II Step I : Animals treated at the dose level of 2000 mg/kg body weight resulted in diarrhoea (black colour stools) in all animals with onset at 2 hours after the dosing. All animals survived through the study period of 14 days and were free of signs of toxicity on day 1 after the dosing.
Group II Step II : Animals treated at the dose level of 2000 mg/kg body weight resulted in diarrhoea (black colour stools) in all animals with onset at 4 hours after the dosing. All animals survived through the study period of 14 days and were free of signs of toxicity on day 1 after the dosing.
Staining of the stool is attributed to the black colour of the test item.

Conclusions:

Under the condition of the study, the acute oral LD50 of the test chemical was >2000 mg/kg body weight. Thus, it was concluded that the acute toxicity study of test chemical, when administered via oral route in rats falls into the “Category Not classified” criteria of CLP.

Executive summary:

Data available for the various test chemicals was reviewed to determine the toxic nature of the test chemical. The studies are as mentioned below:

The acute oral toxicity study was designed and conducted as per OECD 423 for the test chemical using Sprague Dawley rats. Initially, three female animals were treated at the dose level of 300 mg/kg body weight of the test item (Step - I). Administration of the test item at 300 mg/kg did not result in any signs of toxicity and mortality at 24 hours after the dosing. As no mortality was observed at 24 hours after the dosing, three female animals were added to the study and treated with the same dose of 300 mg/kg of the test item (Step - II). Administration of the test item at 300 mg/kg did not result in any signs of toxicity and mortality after the dosing. No mortality was observed at 300 mg/kg dose group, hence additional three female animals were treated with the higher dose of 2000 mg/kg of the test item (Step - I). Administration of the test item at 2000 mg/kg resulted in diarrhoea (black colour stools) in all animals with onset at 2 hours and no mortality after the dosing. As no mortality were observed at 24 hours after the dosing, hence additional three female animals were treated with the higher dose of 2000 mg/kg of the test item (Step - II). Administration of the test item at 2000 mg/kg resulted in diarrhoea (black colour stools) in all animals with onset at 4 hours and no mortality after the dosing. All animals from 300 mg/kg and 2000 mg/kg dose groups survived through the study period of 14 days. Staining of the stool is attributed to the black colour of the test item. Gross pathological examination did not reveal any abnormalities in animals from 300 mg/kg and 2000 mg/kg dose groups. The acute oral LD50 of test chemical was >2000 mg/kg body weight. Thus, it was concluded that the acute toxicity study of test chemical, when administered via oral route in Sprague Dawley rats falls into the “Category Not classified” criteria of CLP.

An acute toxicity study as per OECD 423 guideline was conducted to examine the effects of the test chemical through a single exposure. Female wistar rats were used for this experiment. The starting dose was selected as 2000 mg/kg bw. All surviving animals were observed twice daily (morning and evening) for morbidity and mortality, throughout the acclimatization and study period. After test item administration, individual animals were frequently observed at 30 minutes, 1, 2, 3 and 4 hours post dosing on day 0 (day of dosing). Subsequently, all surviving animals were observed once a day during the 14 day observation period. All surviving rats were weighed on days 0 (prior to dosing), 7 and 14. At the end of 14 day observation period, all the survived rats were euthanized by overdose of CO2. All the animals were observed for external and internal gross pathology. However, no mortality or any other changes were observed at any dose group. Based on all the observations and results, it was concluded that the acute oral medial lethal dose (LD50) of the test chemical was >2000 mg/kg bw and thus was not acutly toxic to the female Wistar rats.

Based on the data available and applying the weight of evidence approach, the acute oral median lethal dose (LD50) of the test chemical was >2000 mg/kg body weight. Thus, it was concluded that the acute toxicity study of test chemical, when administered via oral route in rats falls into the “Category -Not classified” criteria of CLP.
