MAXIMUM DOSE VOLUME APPLIED: 2000mg/Kg


CLASS METHOD (if applicable)
- Rationale for the selection of the starting dose: In the absence of data regarding the toxicity of the test item, 300mg/kg was chosen as the starting dose.
Doses:
6 doses
No. of animals per sex per dose:
1 female at 300mg/kg
5 females at 2000mg/kg
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: 0.5, 1, 2 and 4 hours after dosing and then daily for 14 days.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes
- Other examinations performed: clinical signs, body weight,organ weights, histopathology, other: Individual body weights were recorded on Day 0 and Days 7 and 14.

Results and discussion

Preliminary study:
At dose level 300mg/kg no mortality was observed. Based on these results a dose level of 2000mg/kg was investigated.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The acute oral median lethal dose (LD50) of the test item in the female Wistar strain rat was estimated to be greater than 2000mg/kg body weight (GHS-Unclassified).
Executive summary:

Introduction:

The study was performed to assess the acute oral toxicity of the test item in the Wistar strain rat.

Methods:

Following a sighting test at dose levels of 300mg/kg and 2000mg/kg, a further group of four fasted females was given a single oral dose of test item at a dose level of 2000mg/kg bodyweight. Clinical signs and bodyweight development were monitored during the study. All anmals were subjected to gross necropsy.

Results:

There were no deaths. There were no signs of Systemic toxicity. All animals showed expected gains in bodyweights over the observation period. No abnormalites were noted during necropsy.

Conclusion:

The acute oral median lethal dose (LD50) of the test item in the female Wistar strain rat was estimated to be greater than 2000mg/kg body weight (GHS-Unclassified).
