Results and discussion

Effect levels

Sex:

male/female

Dose descriptor:

LD50

Effect level:

> 5 000 mg/kg bw

Based on:

test mat.

Mortality:

No mortalities (0/5) in males treated at 5000 mg/kg.
No mortalities (0/5) in females treated at 5000 mg/kh/

Clinical signs:

other: Signs of toxicity related to dose levels: The only sign of toxicity was soft stool in two females on the day of treatment.

Gross pathology:

Effects on organs: At necropsy, the spleen in one male was observed to have two 5 mm in diameter, white areas and the left testis in a second male was observed to be small when compared to the right testis. These were considered incidental findings and unrelated to the test material. There were no visible lesions in any of the remaining animals.

Conclusions:

The acute oral LD50 is >5000 kg/mg in rats of both sexes.

Executive summary:

The study was conducted in accordance with OECD Guideline No. 401.

The test material was administered to 10 Crl:CD BR rats (5 per sex) by oral gavage, at a single dose of 5000 mg/kg in corn oil. Clinical observations were made over a 14 -day period.

No deaths occurred during the observation period. All rats were sacrificed on day 14 and necropsy performed. Bodyweight gains of the treated animals were unaffected by treatment. Clinical signs of toxicity were limited to soft stool in two females on the day of treatment. Necropsy on sacrificed animals revealed no treatment-related macroscopic lesions/

Results of the study indicate an acute oral LD₅₀ of >5000 mg/kg in rats of both sexes for the test material.
