Materials and methods
Test guideline
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- other: "the moving average method" (Weil, 1983)
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- Female Sprague-Dawley rats (200-300 grams) received 4.0, 8.0, 11.3, or 16.0 ml/kg (3520, 7040, 9944, and 14080 mg/kg) of n-butyl acetate by gavage. The rats were fasted overnight prior to dosing. The group size at each dose level was 5 animals/group. The LD50 value was calculated by the moving average method (Weil, 1983) after the animals had been observed for 14 days for clinical signs and survival. A gross pathology exam was conducted on animals found dead or at sacrifice.
- GLP compliance:
- no
- Test type:
- other: "the moving average method" (Weil, 1983)

Any other information on results incl. tables
Two of five female rats were found dead on the day of dosing and two more on the day following dosing with 16.0 ml/kg. Weight gain in the surviving animal from the 16.0 ml/kg was normal. Clinical signs in the 16.0 ml/kg group included sluggishness at 30 minutes, prostration (2/5 animals) at one hour and moribund appearance (1/5 animals) at 2 hours post-dosing. The two animals were found dead at three hours post-dosing. The surviving animal was normal in appearance on the day following dosing. There were no remarkable gross pathology findings in any animals at this dose level. Two of five female rats were found dead (1/5 on Day 1 and 1/5 on Day 3) following dosing with 11.3 ml/kg. Weight gain in the surviving animals from the 11.3 ml/kg was normal. Clinical signs in the 11.3 ml/kg group included sluggishness (1/5 animals) and prostration (5/5 animals) at 30 minutes post-dosing, and moribund appearance (2/5 animals) at 2 hours (continuing to Day 1). The surviving animals were normal in appearance within one day following dosing. There were no remarkable gross pathology findings in any animals at this dose level. No rats died following dosing with either 4.0 or 8.0 ml/kg. No abnormal clinical signs or changes in weight gain were noted following dosing or upon gross pathology exam at termination in either the 4.0 or 8.0 ml/kg group animals.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
