Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
oral: gavage
Vehicle:
other: sesame oil
Details on oral exposure:
The test article was administered orally by gavage to rats fasted for approximately 18 hours prior to dosing. After dosing diet was withheld for a further 3 hours. Dosing took place between 9.30 and 10.00 a.m.
The study was initiated with a sighting study:
One female rat SAT 960 824 was given in a 2000 mg/kg b.wt. dose. Slight signs of toxicity were observed in this rat.
On the basis of the results from the sighting study it was decided to carry out the main study with one group consisting of five male and five female rats given a dose of 2000 mg/kg b.wt.
The dose volume administered was 10 ml/kg b.wt. both in sighting and main study.
Doses:
2000 mg/kg b.w.
No. of animals per sex per dose:
5
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: Each rat was observed 1, 3 and 6 hours after administration and thereafter daily for aperiod
of 14 consecutive days. Body weight was recorded on days 0, 7 and 14.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes
- Other examinations performed: clinical signs, body weight, gross necropsy

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
In a study according to OECD Test guideline 420 (acute oral toxicity) under GLP, the rat LD50 of the test substance was determined to be > 2000mg/kg bodyweight and is therefore considered to be practically nontoxic.
Executive summary:

The acute oral toxicity of the test substance was evaluated in a study according to OECD Test Guideline 420 under GLP. A limit test with the test substance dose of 2000 mg/kg bodyweight was performed. The substance was applied with the vehicle sesame oil by oral gavage to five Wistar rats of both sexes, which were observed for 14 days post application. No mortality occured. Body weights gain was not impaired, while no pathological abnormalities were found. Clinical signs like diarrhoea, pilorection or decreased motor acitivity was observed maximally until day 2. Based on these results, the rat oral acute toxicity LD50 of the test substance was > 2000mg/kg bodyweight. Therefore, the test substance is considered practically non-toxic.
