Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:

Female Wistar (RccHan™:WIST) strain rats were supplied by Envigo RMS (UK) Limited, Oxon, UK. On receipt the animals were randomly allocated to cages. The females were nulliparous and non-pregnant. After an acclimatization period of at least 5 days the animals were selected at random and given a number unique within the study by indelible ink-marking on the tail and a number written on a cage card. At the start of the study the animals were 8 to 12 weeks of age. The body weight variation did not exceed ±20% of the mean body weight of any previously dosed animals.

The animals were housed in groups of up to four in suspended solid-floor polypropylene cages furnished with woodflakes. With the exception of an overnight fast immediately before dosing and for approximately 3 to 4 hours after dosing, free access to mains drinking water and food (2014C Teklad Global Rodent diet supplied by Envigo RMS (UK) Limited, Oxon, UK) was allowed throughout the study. The diet, drinking water and bedding were routinely analyzed and were considered not to contain any contaminants that would reasonably be expected to affect the purpose or integrity of the study. The temperature and relative humidity were set to achieve limits of 19 to 25 °C and 30 to 70% respectively. The rate of air exchange was at least fifteen changes per hour and the lighting was controlled by a time switch to give 12 hours continuous light and 12 hours darkness. The animals were provided with environmental enrichment items which were considered not to contain any contaminant of a level that might have affected the purpose or integrity of the study.

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:

oral: gavage

Vehicle:

arachis oil

Remarks:

arachis oil BP

Details on oral exposure:

VEHICLE
For the purpose of the study the test item was freshly prepared, as required, as a suspension in arachis oil BP. Arachis oil BP was used because the test item did not dissolve/suspend in distilled water. The test item was formulated within 2 hours of being applied to the test system. It is assumed that the formulation was stable for this duration.

Doses:

A total of five animals were therefore treated at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg in the study.
Concentration: 200 mg/mL
Dose Volume (mL/kg): 10
All animals were dosed once only by gavage, using a metal cannula attached to a graduated syringe. The volume administered to each animal was calculated according to the fasted body weight at the time of dosing. Treatment of animals was sequential. Sufficient time was allowed between each dose group to confirm the survival of the previously dosed animals.

No. of animals per sex per dose:

5 f/dose

Control animals:

not specified

Details on study design:

- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: Clinical observations were made 30 minutes, 1, 2, and 4 hours after dosing and then daily for up to 14 days. Individual body weights were recorded on Day O ( the day of dosing) and on Days 7 and 14
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes
- Other examinations performed: clinical signs, body weight, necropsy

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

The acute oral median lethal dose (LD50) of the test item in the female Wistar strain rat was estimated to be greater than 2000 mg/kg body weight (Globally Harmonized Classification System - Unclassified).

Executive summary:

Introduction

The study was performed to assess the acute oral toxicity of the test item in the Wistar strain rat.

Methods

Following a sighting test at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg, an additional four fasted female animals were given a single oral dose of test item, as a suspension in arachis oil BP, at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg body weight. Clinical signs and body weight development were monitored during the study. All animals were subjected to gross necropsy.

Results

Mortality. There were no deaths.

Clinical Observations. There were no signs of systemic toxicity.

Body Weight. All animals showed expected gains in body weight.

Necropsy. No abnormalities were noted at necropsy.

Conclusion

The acute oral median lethal dose (LD50) of the test item in the female Wistar strain rat was estimated to be greater than 2000 mg/kg body weight (Globally Harmonized Classification System - Unclassified).
