TEST ANIMALS
- Source: Dobrá Voda, Slovak Republic
- Females nulliparous and non-pregnant: yes
- Age at study initiation: 9 - 10 weeks
- Weight at study initiation: 172 - 195 g (step 1), 193 - 204 g (step 2)
- Fasting period before study: animals were fasted over-night prior to administration and after administration for further 3 - 4 h
- Housing: 3 animals per cage in plastic cages suspended on stainless steel racks on Lignocel S3/4 bedding (Lufa-ITL GmbH, Germany)
- Diet: laboratory food ssniff (Spezialdiäten GmbH, Germany) was offered at recommended doses each day approximately at the same time (analyses were performed)
- Water: tap water, ad libitum (analyses were performed)
- Acclimation period: 5 days

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 22.09 ± 0.21
- Humidity (%): 54.33 ± 2.34
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12/12

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
oral: gavage
Vehicle:
olive oil
Details on oral exposure:
VEHICLE
- Justification for choice of vehicle: standard vehicle according to OECD TG 423

DOSAGE PREPARATION: The required amount of the test item (according to the body weight and dose) was mixed with vehicle (olive oil) shortly before administration

Doses:
2000 mg/kg bw (step 1 and 2)
No. of animals per sex per dose:
3 females per step (2 steps)
Control animals:
no
Remarks:
not required
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: Animals were observed individually immediately after administration of the test item and 0.5, 1, 2 and 4 hours later. Each animal was inspected daily for the next 14 days. Observations included: changes in skin, fur, eyes, mucous membranes, respiratory, circulatory, autonomic and central nervous systems, somatomotor activity, and behavioural pattern. Particular attention was given to potential neurologic endpoints such as tremors, convulsions, salivation, diarrhoea, lethargy, sleep and coma.
Body weights were determined immediately prior to administration of the test item and weekly thereafter.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: CLP/ EU GHS criteria not met, no classification required according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008
Conclusions:
In this acute oral toxicity study a LD50 value > 2000 mg/kg bw in female rats was found.
