Animal Information
Female Wistar (RccHan™:WIST) strain rats were supplied by Envigo RMS (UK) Limited, Oxon, UK. On receipt the animals were randomly allocated to cages. The females were nulliparous and non pregnant. After an acclimatization period of at least 5 days the animals were selected at random and given a number unique within the study by indelible ink marking on the tail and a number written on a cage card. At the start of the study the animals were 8 to 12 weeks of age. The body weight variation did not exceed ±20% of the mean body weight of any previously dosed animals.
Animal Care and Husbandry
The animals were housed in groups three in suspended solid floor polypropylene cages furnished with woodflakes. With the exception of an overnight fast immediately before dosing and for approximately 3 to 4 hours after dosing, free access to mains drinking water and food (2014C Teklad Global Rodent diet supplied by Envigo RMS (UK) Limited, Oxon, UK) was allowed throughout the study. The diet, drinking water and bedding were routinely analyzed and were considered not to contain any contaminants that would reasonably be expected to affect the purpose or integrity of the study.
The temperature and relative humidity were set to achieve limits of 19 to 25 °C and 30 to 70% respectively. The rate of air exchange was at least fifteen changes per hour and the lighting was controlled by a time switch to give 12 hours continuous light and 12 hours darkness.
The animals were provided with environmental enrichment items which were considered not to contain any contaminant of a level that might have affected the purpose or integrity of the study.

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:

oral: gavage

Vehicle:

arachis oil

Details on oral exposure:

All animals were dosed once only by gavage

Doses:

Groups of fasted animals were treated as follows:
Dose Level(mg/kg) Concentration(mg/mL) Dose Volume(mL/kg) Number of Rats(Female_
2000 200 10 3
2000 200 10 3

No. of animals per sex per dose:

6 females @ 2000 mg/kg

Control animals:

no

Details on study design:

Using available information on the toxicity of the test item, 2000 mg/kg was chosen as the starting dose.
Groups of fasted animals were treated as follows:
Dose Level(mg/kg) Concentration(mg/mL) Dose Volume(mL/kg) Number of Rats(Female)
2000 200 10 3
2000 200 10 3
All animals were dosed once only by gavage, using a metal cannula attached to a graduated syringe. The volume administered to each animal was calculated according to the fasted body weight at the time of dosing. Treatment of animals was sequential. Sufficient time was allowed between each group to confirm the survival of the previously dosed animals.
The animals were observed for deaths or overt signs of toxicity 30 minutes, 1, 2 and 4 hours after dosing and subsequently once daily for 14 days.
Individual body weights were recorded prior to dosing and 7 and 14 days after treatment.
At the end of the observation period the animals were killed by cervical dislocation. All animals were subjected to gross pathological examination. This consisted of an external examination and opening of the abdominal and thoracic cavities for examination of major organs. The appearance of any macroscopic abnormalities was recorded. No tissues were retained.

Statistics:

None recorded.

Executive summary:

Introduction

The study was performed to assess the acute oral toxicity of the test item in the Wistar strain rat.

Methods

A group of three fasted females was treated with the test item at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg body weight. This was followed by a further group of three fasted females at the same dose level. Dosing was performed sequentially.

The test item was administered orally as a suspension in arachis oil BP. During the observation period of 14 days clinical signs and body weight development were monitored. Thereafter all animals were subjected to gross necropsy.

Results

Mortality. There were no deaths.

Clinical Observations. There were no signs of systemic toxicity noted. Red colored staining of the feces was noted in the cages of all animals and red colored staining of the urine was noted in the cageof thesecond group of three treated animals.

Body Weight. All animals showed expected gains in body weight.

Necropsy. No abnormalities were noted at necropsy.

Conclusion

The acute oral median lethal dose (LD₅₀) of the test item in the female Wistar strain rat was estimated to be greater than 2500 mg/kg body weight (Globally Harmonized Classification System - Unclassified).
