Endpoint summary
Administrative data
Description of key information
A 90-day repeated dose drinking water study in rats is available, in which no adverse effects were observed up to 6852 mg Cellobiose per kg body weight. From this study, it can be concluded that an acute oral toxicity study with a single dose of max. 5000 mg Cellobiose per kg body weight will also not induce any adverse effects.

IMMUNOLOGY: No - Statistics:
- Data for toxicology and pathology were captured, as far as possible; using the departmental computer ized systems (Provantis® Integrated preclinical software, version 9.4.0, Instem LSS Ltd., Stone, Sta ffordshire ST15 0SD, United Kingdom). Raw data not fully compatible with the computerized systems
were maintained on paper according to appropriate SOPs.
The test item groups 2 to 4 were compared to the control group 1. The following statistical methods
were used:
- Multiple t-test based on DUNNETT, C. W.
- Exact test of R. A. FISHER (if applicable)
The following settings were used for the statistical evaluation of the parametricvalues captured by
Provantis:
Homogeneity of variances and normality of distribution were tested using the BARTLETT’s and
SHAPIRO-WILKS test. In case of heterogeneity and/or non- normality of distribution, stepwise tr ansformation of the values into logarithmic or rank values was performed prior to ANOVA. If the
ANOVA yielded a significant effect (p ≤ 0.05), intergroup comparisons with the control group was made by the DUNNETT’s test (p ≤ 0.01 and p ≤ 0.05).
The following statistical methods were used for the data not captured with the Provantis system, i.e. Numerical functional tests: Body temperature / Hind leg splay / Grip strength / Spontaneous motility): STUDENT's t-test - Key result
- Sex:
- male/female
- Dose descriptor:
- LD0
- Effect level:
- > 6 852 mg/kg bw
- Based on:
- test mat.
- Remarks on result:
- not determinable due to absence of adverse toxic effects
- Remarks:
- The effect level is the no observed effect level from a 90-day repeated dose drinking water study in rats.
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- In a GLP-compliant 90-day repeated dose drinking water study in rats according to OECD TG 408, no adverse effects were observed up to 6852 mg Cellobiose per kg body weight. Based on this result, the acute oral toxicity will be higher than 6852 mg/kg bw.
- Executive summary:
In a GLP-compliant study according to OECD TG 408 in rats, cellobiose administered via drinking water did not induce any adverse effects. The experimental no-observed-adverse-effect level (NOAEL) was equal to or greater than 10% Cellobiose in drinking water (equivalent to ~ 6852 and ~ 8043 mg Cellobiose per kg body weight for males and females, respectively). All observed effects, i.e., marginally reduced body weight and food consumption, are considered to be secondary to a reduced drinking water intake at the highest dose level.

Additional information
Justification for classification or non-classification
A 90-day repeated dose drinking water study in rats is available, in which no adverse effects were observed up to 6852 mg Cellobiose per kg body weight. The results of the study are used to assess the acute oral toxicity.
As the NOEL is > 6852 mg/kg bw no GHS classification is warranted.
