PEG 300

Details on oral exposure:

VEHICLE
- Concentration in vehicle: 0.2 g/ml
- Amount of vehicle (if gavage): 10 ml/kg body weight
- Justification for choice of vehicle: the vehicle was chosen after a non-GLP solubility trial which was performed before the study initiation date.

MAXIMUM DOSE VOLUME APPLIED: 10 ml/kg body weight

DOSAGE PREPARATION (if unusual):
- The dose formulations were made shortly before each dosing occasion using a magnetic stirrer and a spatula as homogenizers. The test item was weighed into a tared glass beaker on a suitable precision balance and the vehicle added (weight:volume). Homogeneity of the test item in the vehicle was maintained during administration using a magnetic stirrer.
- Dose levels are in terms of the test item as supplied by the sponsor.

CLASS METHOD (if applicable)
- Rationale for the selection of the starting dose: no data

Doses:

2000 mg/kg

No. of animals per sex per dose:

3 females per group; 2 groups

Control animals:

no

Details on study design:

- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: mortality/viability: daily during the acclimatization period, during the first 30 minutes and at approximately 1, 2, 3 and 5 hours after administration on test day 1 (with the clinical signs) and twice daily during days 2-15; body weights: on test days 1 (prior to administration), 8 and 15; clinical signs: daily during the acclimatization period, during the first 30 minutes and at approximately 1, 2, 3 and 5 hours after administration on test day 1. Once daily during days 2-15. All abnormalities were recorded.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes, all animals were killed at the end of the observation period by carbon dioxide asphyxiation and discarded after macroscopic examinations were performed. No organs or tissues were retained.

Statistics:

No statistical analysis was used.

Effect levels

Sex:

female

Dose descriptor:

LD50

Effect level:

> 2 000 mg/kg bw

Based on:

test mat.

Mortality:

No deaths occurred during the study.

Clinical signs:

All animals showed ruffled fur at the 1- or 2-hour reading up to 5 hours after treatment, or up to test day 2. Hunched posture was noted in all animals 1 or 2 hours after treatment up to 5-hour reading or up to test day 2.
