Results and discussion

Effect levels
Key result
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 2 000 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
Remarks on result:
not determinable due to absence of adverse toxic effects
Mortality:
No mortality
Clinical signs:
No sings of toxicity were absorved in any of the animals. Both female and male animals produced faeces stained ornage on Day 1 of the study faeces appeared normal on Day 2.
Body weight:
All animals decreased body weight from day -1 to day 1 due to overnight fasting. By day 3 all rats had gained weight compared to day -1. Weight gain continued until the end of the study.
Gross pathology:
No macroscopic abnormalities were detected at necropsy

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Under the study conditions, the LD50 (oral, gavage) of the test substance was >2000 mg/kg bw in male/female rats. The substance is not classifiable according to CLP criteria.
Executive summary:

A study was conducted to assess the acute oral toxicity of the test substance in Alpk:APfSD rats in compliance with GLP. Five male and five female animals were gavaged at single dose of 2000 mg/kg bw, then observed for 14d. There was no mortality and no signs of toxicity were observed in any of the animals. Under the study conditions, the LD50 of the test substance was >2000 mg/kg bw (Ishmael, 1989).
