Results and discussion

Preliminary study:

The results of the preliminary study indicated that the acute lethal dose to male and female rats of D-523 was greater than 2.5 g/kg bodyweight.

Effect levels

Key result

Sex:

male/female

Dose descriptor:

LD50

Effect level:

> 5 000 mg/kg bw

Mortality:

There were no deaths following a single oral dose of D-523 at 5.0 g/kg bodyweight.

Clinical signs:

Signs of toxicity related to dose levels:Piloerection was noted in all rats within 5 minutes of dosing and throughout day 1. All animals showed the expected gains in bodyweight over the study period.

Body weight:

Slightly low bodyweight gains were recorded on Day 15 for one male and 4 females; these animlas achieved anticipated gains on Day 8. All other rats achieved anticipated bodyweight gains throughout the study.

Gross pathology:

Terminal autopsy revealed no macroscopic abnormalities for the majority of rats. Unilateral hydronephrosis was apparent for one male on Day 15. A slow incidence of this abnormality occurs spontaneously among untreated rats of the CD starin at this laboratory, the finding was not considered to be related to treatment.

Other findings:

None

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

not classified

Remarks:

Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU

Conclusions:

The results of the main study indicated that the acute lethal dose to male and female rats of FAT 40554 was greater than 5000 mg/kg bodyweight.

Executive summary:

The aim of this study was to determine the acute oral toxicity potency of FAT 40554 in rats after single administartion by oral gavage.

This experiment was performed according to the EU Method B.1 (Acute Toxicity (Oral))

The test was performed on rats (5 males and 5 females) per dose level, at one dose level: 5000 mg/kg.

The test material was dissolved in distilled water.

The observation period was 14 days or until all symptoms have disappeared, whichever lasts longer.

Mortality:

No mortality occured during the experiment.

Body weight:Normal weight gain.

Signs of toxicity: Piloerection was noted in all rats within 5 minutes of dosing and throughout day 1. All animals showed the expected gains in bodyweight over the study period.

Effects in organs: Terminal autopsy revealed no macroscopic abnormalities for the majority of rats. Unilateral hydronephrosis was apparent for one male on Day 15. A slow incidence of this abnormality occurs spontaneously among untreated rats of the CD starin at this laboratory, the finding was not considered to be related to treatment.

In conclusion, the median lethal dose is found to be greater than 5000 mg/kg bodyweight.
