Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Beta-cyclodextrin is practically nontoxic if administered orally to rats.
Executive summary:

Beta-Cyclodextrin was administered to groups of 10 male and female rats at a limit concentration of 5000 mg/kg bw. No mortality was observed within these groups. In the first hour lower tonicity and hyperpnoea were observed. All animals recovered after 24 h. No other signs of toxcicity were observed. The LD50 of beta-cyclodextrin was determined to be > 5000 mg/kg bw.
