Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:

TEST ANIMALS
- Source: Charles River Laboratories, Research Models and Services, Germany GmbH, Sandhofer Weg 7, 97633 Sulzfeld, Germany
- Age at start of administration: Approx. 8 weeks
- Weight at start of administration: 160 - 177 g
- Fasting period before study:
- Housing: During the 14-day observation period the animals were kept in groups of 3 animals in MAKROLON cages (type III plus). Granulated
textured wood was used as bedding material for the cages.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C):22°C ± 3°C
- Humidity (%): 55% ± 15%
- Air changes (per hr): 12 to 18-fold air change per hour
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12 hrs dark/12 hrs light (about 150 lux at approx. 1.50 m room height)

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:

oral: gavage

Vehicle:

other: sesame oil

Details on oral exposure:

VEHICLE
The test item was suspended in sesame oil1 to a concentration of 200 mg/mL. The administration volume was 10 mL/kg b.w., p.o. (resulting in a
dose level of 2000 mg/kg b.w.).



CLASS METHOD (if applicable)
- Rationale for the selection of the starting dose: A limit test at one dose level of 2000 mg/kg bw was carried out on 6 female animals

Doses:

2000 mg/kg bw (limit test)

No. of animals per sex per dose:

6 female animals

Control animals:

no

Details on study design:

- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days

- Frequency of observations and weighing: Observations were performed before and immediately, 5, 15, 30 and 60 min, as well as 3, 6 and 24 hours
after administration. All surviving animals were observed for a period of 14 days. Individual body weights were recorded before administration
of the testsubstance and thereafter in weekly intervals up to the end of the study.

- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes (all animals)

- Other examinations performed: changes of skin and fur, eyes and mucous membranes, respiratory and the circulatory,autonomic and central
nervous system and somatomotor activity as well as behaviour pattern were observed at least once a day until all symptoms subsided, thereafter
each working day. Any tremors, convulsions, salivation, diarrhoea, lethargy, sleep and coma were also noted.

Statistics:

No statistical analysis was performed as the method used is not intended to allow a calculation of a precise LD50 value.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

In this acute oral toxicity study in rats (limit test), the LD 50 (females) for the test item was > 2000 mg/kg bw.

Executive summary:

The test item was given to rats by a single oral administration to obtain information on the toxicity, in particular lethality, of the test item. The Acute Toxic Class Method was employed to establish the required information for hazard assessment and hazard classification.

Under the present test conditions, a single oral administration of 2000 mg test item/kg b.w. did not reveal any signs of toxicity. Animals were then observed for 14 days. No death was recorded within the test period. All animals gained the expected weight at the end of the study period. No pathological changes were observed at necropsy. The LD50 value was ranked exceeding 2000 mg/kg b.w.
