Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:

TEST ANIMALS
- Source: Charles River Laboartories Japan. Inc. (Hino Breeding Center)
- Females (if applicable) nulliparous and non-pregnant: yes
- Age at study initiation: 4 weeks when received, 5 weeks at dosing
- Weight at study initiation: males 77 - 87 g 1 day fater receipt, females 65 - 74 g 1 day after receipt
- Fasting period before study: 19 h
- Housing: In groups of up to 5 per cage in stainless steel suspended cages (240 x 380 x 200 mm) during qurantine and acclimatisation periods. After group assignment, the animals were housed individually in stainlaess steel 5-vompartment cages (755 x 210 x 170 mm).
- Diet (e.g. ad libitum): ad lbitum
- Water (e.g. ad libitum): ad lbitum, except after group assignment and 6 h after administration
- Acclimation period: 2 d (plus 5 d qurantine)

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 21.0 to 24.4 °C
- Humidity (%): 33.1 to 68.0 %
- Air changes (per hr): 12
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12 7 12

IN-LIFE DATES: From: 2007-04-04 To: 2007-04-25

Route of administration:

oral: gavage

Details on oral exposure:

VEHICLE
- Concentration in vehicle: 66.7 mg/mL
- Amount of vehicle (if gavage): 30 mL
- Justification for choice of vehicle: solubility of test item, non-toxic
- Lot/batch no. (if required): 502517

MAXIMUM DOSE VOLUME APPLIED: 30 mL, resulting in a dose of 2000 mg/kg bw

Doses:

2000 mg/kg bw

No. of animals per sex per dose:

5 males, 5 females

Control animals:

yes

Details on study design:

- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: Observation period 14 d, weighing 1, 3, 7, 10 and 14 d after administration
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes
- Other examinations performed: body weight, general signs

Statistics:

group mean values and standard deviations were calculated for body weight. To perform significance tests, data obtained were tested by an F-test for homogeneity of variance. Then, the data were compared between control (vehicle) group and the gropu treated with the test itme by Student's t-test when the variances were homogeneous and Aspin-Welch's t-test when the variances were heterogeneous.
Probabilities < 5 % were considered statistically significant and are shown as p < 00.5 (< 5 %) or p < 0.01 (< 1 %).
