VEHICLE
- Concentration in vehicle: The test material was used in a 12.5% gravimetric suspension in water.
- Amount of vehicle (if gavage):

MAXIMUM DOSE VOLUME APPLIED:

DOSAGE PREPARATION: the powdered neohesperidin dihydrochalcone was mixed with 8cc of distilled water and allowed to stand 15min prior to being administered to animals. Females received 1.2g and males 1.5g test item each.

Doses:

5000 mg/kg bw.

5 per sex per dose

Control animals:

yes

Details on study design:

- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: Animals were observed for signs of pharmacologic activity and drug toxicity at 1, 3, 6 and 24h post-dosage. Observations were made daily thereafter to a total of 14d.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes. Animals sacrificed at the end of the 14-day observation period were subjected to complete gross necropsy.
- Other examinations performed: clinical signs, body weight, histopathology.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Remarks:

EU criteria

Conclusions:

Based on read-across approach, the target substance was found to be non toxic, LD50 ≥ 5000mg/kg.

Executive summary:

The acute oral toxicity of neohesperidin dihydrochalcone on rats was studied by a method similar to OECD TG 420. A limit test was performed by administering a single dose of 5g/kg bw test item to 10 (5M/5F) Wistar rats, and observing the effects for 14 days (clinical signs, body weights). No effects were observed in any animal. Therefore, the test item was found to be non toxic, with an LD50 > 5000 mg/kg bw.
