Test animals

Species:
rat
Strain:
Sprague-Dawley
Sex:
male/female
Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
Rats purchased from Charles River, Massachusetts at 6-10 weeks of age. Animals were in ranges of 146 -165 grams in rangefinder, and 174-266 grams for limit test. Rats were housed individually @ 18 - 26 degrees C, 12 hr/ light/12 hr dark cycles at 40 - 70% humidity. Rats were fasted prior to dosing (time unspecified), and given diet (Wayne Teklad Lab Blox) and water ad libitum.

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
oral: gavage
Vehicle:
corn oil
Details on oral exposure:
The vehicle was corn oil administered as control & with test chemical at dosing volume of 10 ml/kg. Test chemical was suspended in corn oil with use of Polytron at concentrations of 50, 250 and 500 mg/ml to achieve delivered doses of 500, 2500 & 5000 mg/kg bw (single dose). The limit dose of 5000 mg/kg bw was prepared in the same manner.
No. of animals per sex per dose:
The rangefinder employed 1 male, 1 female rat for each of 3 doses. The limit test used 5 rats of each sex.
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
Rats were observed daily for signs of gross behavior & mortality. Body weights were recorded on days 0, 7, and 14. Animals were subjected to necropsies following sacrifice on day 14.
Statistics:
None

Results and discussion

Preliminary study:
0/2 rats died within 72 hr at the 500, 2500 or 5000 mg/kg bw dose.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
practically nontoxic
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: expert judgment
Conclusions:
Test chemical exhibits very low toxicity following single dose by oral gavage. LD50 >5000 mg/kg.
Executive summary:

An oral gavage test was conducted in rats. Following pilot study that showed no lethality up to dose of 5000 mg/kg bw, a limit test was conducted. Test chemical exhibits very low toxicity following single dose by oral gavage with LD50 >5000 mg/kg bw.
