Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- other: not classified
- Conclusions:
- Under the conditions of this; acute oral toxicity dose was considered to be >2000 mg/kg bw, when female rats were treated with the given test chemical via oral gavage route.
- Executive summary:
Acute oral toxicity study was conducted for the given test chemical as per OECD No. 423 (Acute Oral toxicity - Acute Toxic Class Method) in female Wistar rats.
Six female Wistar rats were selected for acute oral toxicity study. The animals were fasted for minimum 16-18 hours prior to dosing and for 4 hours post dosing, food was withheld but drinking water provided ad libitum. The time intervals between dosing were determined by the onset, duration and severity of toxic signs.
Three rats of first group were dosed with starting dose of 2000 mg/kg body weight and the animals did not show any mortality so another three animals of the same group were dosed with 2000 mg/kg body weight and no mortality was observed. Hence, further dosing was stopped.
Body weights were recorded on day 0 (prior to dosing) 7 and 14. Mean body weight of all the animals treated with 2000 mg/kg body weight was observed with gain on day 7 and 14, as compared to day 0. At 2000 mg/kg, all the animals were normal throughout the experimental period. No external and internal gross pathological changes were seen in all the six animals treated with 2000 mg/kg body weight during terminal sacrifice.
Under the conditions of this; acute oral toxicity dose was considered to be >2000 mg/kg bw, when female rats were treated with the given test chemical via oral gavage route.
