ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 22 ± 3
- Humidity (%): 30 - 70
- Air changes (per hr): 10 - 15
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12/12 - Route of administration:
- oral: gavage
- Vehicle:
- CMC (carboxymethyl cellulose)
- Remarks:
- 1% CMC in purified water
- Details on oral exposure:
- VEHICLE
- Concentration in vehicle: 55 and 200 mg/mL
- Amount of vehicle (if gavage):
94.5 mg/kg CMC (55 mg/mL preparation)
80 mg/kg CMC (200 mg/mL preparation)
Calculation: amount CMC in 10 mL preparation= 1% · (10000 mg preparation - x mg substance per 1000 mg preparation), where x is 55 and 200 mg, respectively
- Justification for choice of vehicle: The vehicle was chosen after non-GLP solubility testing. Purified water and 0.5% CMC in purified water were found unsuitable vehicles for oral gavage application, as the test item could not be sufficiently dispersed in either vehicle. By grinding the test item in a mortar and pestle together with 1% CMC in purified water, a 20% (weight:weight) dispersion of the test item suitable for oral gavage application was obtained.
- Lot/batch no. (if required): 0001414646
- Purity: not reported
MAXIMUM DOSE VOLUME APPLIED: 10 mL/kg
DOSAGE PREPARATION (if unusual): Dose formulations were prepared shortly before each treatment using a magnetic stirrer and a spatula as homogenizers. The test item was weighed on a suitable precision balance and supplied to a mortar. By using a pestle, the test item and almost all of the vehicle was ground to a dispersion. This dispersion was transferred to a volumetric beaker and the vehicle was added up to the defined volume (weight:volume). - Doses:

- Executive summary:
An acute oral toxicity test with 4 animals (female RccHan:WIST(SPF) rat) was conducted under GLP according to OECD TG 425.
Dosing started in one female animal at a dose level of 550 mg/kg. As no death occurred and no severe clinical signs were observed at this dose level, the next female was treated at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg. Two more females were treated at a dose level of 2000
mg/kg, as at this dose no deaths occurred and no severe clinical signs were observed.
All animals were examined for clinical signs before treatment, once within the first 30 minutes and approximately 1, 2, 3 and 5 hours after treatment on test day 1 and once daily during test days 2 to 15. Mortality was assessed before treatment, once within the first 30 minutes and approximately 1, 2, 3 and 5 hours after treatment on test day 1 (with the clinical signs) and twice daily during test days 2 to 15. Body weights were recorded on the last day of acclimatization (prior to removal of food), on test day 1 (prior to treatment) and
on test days 8 and 15. All animals were examined macroscopically after being sacrificed at the end of the observation period.
No deaths occurred during the course of the study. No clinical signs were observed in any animal during acclimatization and in the animal
treated with 550 mg/kg. Slightly ruffled fur was observed in all three animals treated with 2000 mg/kg after treatment on test day 1. In one animal treated with 2000 mg/kg, ruffled fur was still observed on test day 2. No clinical signs were observed in these animals from test day 2 until the end of the observation period. The body weights were within the range commonly recorded for this strain and age. No macroscopic findings were recorded at necropsy.
The median lethal dose (LD50) of the test item after single oral administration to female rats, observed over a period of 14 days, is greater than 2000 mg/kg body weight.

- Details on inhalation exposure:
- The animals were exposed, nose-only, to an atmosphere of the test item using a TSE Rodent Exposure System (TSE Systems GmbH, Bad Homburg, Germany). This system comprised of 2 concentric anodised aluminium chambers and a computer control system incorporating pressure detectors and mass flow controllers. Fresh aerosol from the generation system was constantly supplied to the inner plenum (distribution chamber) of the exposure system from where, under positive pressure, it was
distributed to the individual exposure ports. The animals were held in polycarbonate restraint tubes located around the chamber which allowed only the animal’s nares to enter the exposure port. After passing through the animal’s breathing zone, used aerosol entered the outer cylinder from where it was exhausted through a suitable filter system. Atmosphere generation was therefore dynamic. Airflows and relative pressures within the system were constantly monitored and controlled by the computer system thus ensuring a uniform distribution and constant flow of fresh aerosol to each exposure port (breathing zone). The flow of air through each port was at least 0.7 L/min. This flow rate was considered adequate to minimise re-breathing of the test atmosphere as it is about twice the respiratory minute volume of a rat. Homogeneity of the test atmosphere within the test chamber and amongst the exposure ports was not specifically determined during this study. However, chambers of this design have been fully validated and have shown to produce evenly distributed atmospheres in the animals’ breathing zones. - Analytical verification of test atmosphere concentrations:

- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- Under the experimental conditions of this study, no deaths occurred in a group of 10 rats (5/sex) exposed to the mean achieved concentration of 5.01 mg/L for 4 hours.

- Executive summary:
The acute inhalation toxicity of the test substance was assessed in 10 (5 male and 5 female) CRL: (WI) Wistar strain rats according to the OECD guideline 403.
The animals were exposed to the mean achieved concentration of 5.01 mg/L test item during 4 hours using a nose-only exposure system. The animals were observed during 14 days after exposure.
The mean achieved atmosphere concentration was 5.01 mg/L. The MMAD (Mean Mass Aerodynamic Diameter) was 3.71 μm ± 2.52 (GSD [Geometric Standard Deviation]).
No mortality occurred during the course of the study. No significant clinical signs were recorded on day of exposure and during whole two weeks of the observation period. No necropsy findings were observed in any animals exposed to the test substance.
The acute inhalation median lethal concentration of test item, in CRL: (WI) Wistar strain rats is therefore considered to be greater than 5.01 mg/L.

Additional information
An acute oral toxicity test with 4 animals (female RccHan:WIST(SPF) rat) was conducted under GLP according to OECD TG 425.
Dosing started in one female animal at a dose level of 550 mg/kg. As no death occurred and no severe clinical signs were observed at this dose level, the next female was treated at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg. Two more females were treated at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg, as at this dose no deaths occurred and no severe clinical signs were observed.
All animals were examined for clinical signs before treatment, once within the first 30 minutes and approximately 1, 2, 3 and 5 hours after treatment on test day 1 and once daily during test days 2 to 15. Mortality was assessed before treatment, once within the first 30 minutes and approximately 1, 2, 3 and 5 hours after treatment on test day 1 (with the clinical signs) and twice daily during test days 2 to 15. Body weights were recorded on the last day of acclimatization (prior to removal of food), on test day 1 (prior to treatment) and on test days 8 and 15. All animals were examined macroscopically after being sacrificed at the end of the observation period. No deaths occurred during the course of the study. No clinical signs were observed in any animal during acclimatization and in the animal treated with 550 mg/kg. Slightly ruffled fur was observed in all three animals treated with 2000 mg/kg after treatment on test day 1. In one animal treated with 2000 mg/kg, ruffled fur was still observed on test day 2. No clinical signs were observed in these animals from test day 2 until the end of the observation period. The body weights were within the range commonly recorded for this strain and age. No macroscopic findings were recorded at necropsy.
The median lethal dose (LD50) of the test item after single oral administration to female rats, observed over a period of 14 days, is greater than 2000 mg/kg body weight.
In an acute dermal toxicity test performed under GLP according to OECD TG 402, 5 male and 5 female RccHan:WIST (SPF) rats were treated with the test item at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg by dermal application. The test item was applied by weight as supplied by the Sponsor. For better dermal contact, the test item was moistened with purified water before application.
All animals were examined for clinical signs before treatment, once within the first 30 minutes and approximately 1, 2, 3 and 5 hours after treatment on test day 1 and once daily during test days 2 to 15. Local dermal signs were assessed once daily from test day 2 to 15. Mortality was assessed before treatment, once within the first 30 minutes and approximately 1, 2, 3 and 5 hours after treatment on test day 1 (with the clinical signs) and twice daily during test days 2 to15. Body weights were recorded on test day 1 (prior to administration) and on test days 8 and 15. All animals were examined macroscopically after being sacrificed at the end of the study.
No deaths occurred during the course of the study and no clinical signs were observed. One male showed focal crusts on test days 4 to 6 and one female showed desquamation on test days 7 to 10. No local dermal signs were recorded in these animals after test day 10 and no local dermal signs were recorded in any other animal. Two females slightly lost body weight after treatment (4% and 6 %, respectively). The body weights of the other animals were within the range commonly recorded for this strain and age. No macroscopic findings were recorded at necropsy.
The median lethal dose (LD50) of the test item after single dermal administration to rats of both sexes, observed over a period of 14 days, is greater than 2000 mg/kg body weight.
To comply with non-EU national registration requirements, an acute inhalation toxicity test with 10 (5 male and 5 female) CRL:(WI) Wistar strain rats was conducted under GLP according to OECD TG 403.
The animals were exposed to the mean achieved concentration of 5.01 mg/L test item during 4 hours using a nose-only exposure system. The animals were observed during 14 days after exposure.
The mean achieved atmosphere concentration was 5.01 mg/L. The MMAD (Mean Mass Aerodynamic Diameter) was 3.71 μm ± 2.52 (GSD [Geometric Standard Deviation]).
No mortality occurred during the course of the study. No significant clinical signs were recorded on day of exposure and during whole two weeks of the observation period. No necropsy findings were observed in any animals exposed to the test substance.
The acute inhalation median lethal concentration of the test item, in CRL: (WI) Wistar strain rats is therefore considered to be greater than 5.01 mg/L.
