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:

All rats survived the observation period.

Clinical signs:

other: No signs of toxicity were seen in the 3 male and 3 female rats after treatment with 2000 mg/kg.

Gross pathology:

The gross pathological examination revealed no organ alterations.

Study design

The test material was tested for acute toxicity in rats after single oral administration of 2000 mg/kg body weight. The test material was suspended with aqueous Methocel^®K4M Premium solution as vehicle.This study was performed according to the “Acute toxic class method“ (ATC) as described in OECD Guideline 423.

Results

No signs of toxicity were seen in the rats (3 males and 3 females) after treatment with 2000 mg/kg. There were no deaths during the course of the study.The gross pathological examination revealed no organ alterations.

Conclusion

Based on the result of this study, it is concluded that the test material has no acute toxic potential and that the LD₅₀value is higher than 2000 mg/kg after single oral treatment in rats.

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

Based on the result of this study, it is concluded that the test material has no acute toxic potential and that the LD50 value is higher than 2000 mg/kg after single oral administration in rats.

Executive summary:

This study was performed according to GLP and is fully compliant OECD TG 423. Based on the result of this study, it is concluded that the test material has no acute toxic potential and that the LD₅₀value is higher than 2000 mg/kg after single oral administration in rats.
