Relative humidity: 50±20%

Lighting time: 12 hours daily

Acclimatization: at least one day (breeding at identical conditions)

Food: ssniff'ID R/M-H (V 1534), ad libitum

Withdrawal of food: from about 16 hours before to 3 - 4 hours after treatment

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
oral: gavage
Vehicle:
other: sesame oil
Details on oral exposure:
The animals received the compound as a 20 % solution in sesame oil (Oleum sesami Ph. Eur. III, Fa. Mainland Pharmazeutische Fabrik GmbH), the application volume being 10 ml/kg body weight.
Doses:
2000mg/kg bw
No. of animals per sex per dose:
5
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
The prepared test substance was administered by gavage to fasted animals at the stated dosage (2000mg/kg bw). The observation period following treatment lasted for 14 days. Symptoms were recorded twice every day (in the moming and in the afternoon), on weekends and public holidays only once. During this time the animals were weighed weekly. At the end of the observation period the animals were killed by carbon dioxide asphyxiation, dissected and examined for macroscopically visible changes.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Acute oral toxicity testing of Isodecylethemitril in the Wistar rat yielded a median lethal dose (LC50) above 2000 mg/kg body weight in both male and female animals.
Executive summary:

Acute oral toxicity testing of Isodecylethemitril in the Wistar rat yielded a median lethal dose (LC50) above 2000 mg/kg body weight in both male and female animals. No lethality occurred after application of 2000 mg/kg body weight. Beside unspecific clinical signs the animals showed impairments of respiration as weil as motility, stupor and prone position. At day three of the study all c1inical signs were reversible. Development of body weight was not impaired. The animals killed at the end of the observation period showed no macroscopically visible changes.
