Water quality control analysis and microbiological assessment are performed once per year by the laboratory of Veszprém County Government Office, Department of Public Health (Veszprém Megyei Kormányhivatal Népegészségügyi Főosztály, H-8200 Veszprém, József A. u. 36., Hungary). The quality control results are retained in the archives of NEXTREAT Laboratories
3.2.3. Animal identification
Animals were individually identified by unique numbers written on the tail with an indelible pen. The numbers were given on the basis of NEXTREAT Laboratories' master file, for each animal allocated to the study.
Administration / exposure
- Route of administration:
- oral: gavage
- Vehicle:
- methylcellulose
- Details on oral exposure:
- A single oral treatment was carried out by gavage for each animal after an overnight food withdrawal. Food was made available again 3 hours after the treatment. The test item was administered in 1% methyl cellulose solution, at a concentration of 30 or 200 mg/mL, at a dose volume of 10 mL/kg bw.
- Doses:
- 300 mg/L and 2000 mg/L
- No. of animals per sex per dose:
- Three groups of three female rats were treated with the test item at a dose level of 300 (Groups 1 and 2) or 2000 mg/kg body weight (bw) (Group 3).
- Control animals:
- no
- Details on study design:
- Initially three animals were treated at the starting dose of 300 mg/kg bw (Group 1). As no mortality was observed in this group, a confirmatory group (Group 2) was treated at the same dose level. As no mortality was observed in this confirmatory group, a third group (Group 3) was treated at a higher dose level of 2000 mg/kg bw. One animal was found dead one day after the treatment. The remaining two animals were euthanized preterminally on the same day (Day 1), due to animal welfare reasons, in agreement with the Veterinary. As per the guideline, this is considered in the interpretation of the test results in the same way as the animals that died during the study. No further testing was required.
Results and discussion
Effect levels
- Key result
- Sex:
- female
- Dose descriptor:
- LD50
- Effect level:
- > 300 - < 2 000 mg/kg bw
- Based on:
- test mat.
- Mortality:
- At the dose level of 300 mg/kg bw, no mortality was observed.
At the dose level of 2000 mg/kg bw, 1/3 animals was found dead and 2/3 animals were preterminally euthanized due to animal welfare reasons on Day 1. - Clinical signs:
- Hunched back and piloerection were transiently seen in the animals dosed at 300 mg/kg bw,
2-4 hours after treatment. All animals became symptom-free 6 hours after treatment, until the end of the observation period.
The following symptoms were recorded in the animals after dosing at 2000 mg/kg bw: Slight to marked decreased activity (3/3), hunched back (3/3), incoordination (3/3), prone position (2/3), partially closed eyes (3/3), slight to moderate increased respiratory rate (3/3), and piloerection (2/3). Before their death/preterminal euthanasia, increased salivation (2/3) and clonic convulsion (3/3) were seen. - Body weight:
- The body weights of the animals dosed at 2000 mg/kg bw were not evaluated because of the short observation period.
At 300 mg/kg bw, no treatment related changes were seen in the body weights. - Gross pathology:
- In the terminally euthanized animals of the 300 mg/kg bw dose groups, there were no macroscopic changes seen at necropsy.
In the found dead or preterminally euthanized animals, those were dosed at 2000 mg/kg bw, discharge was seen around the mouth (2/3) and white material, presumably the test item, was present in the stomach (3/3).
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- Category 4 based on GHS criteria
- Conclusions:
- Under the conditions of this study, the acute oral LD50 value of the test item was found to be between 300 and 2000 mg/kg bw in female Han:WIST rats.
According to the GHS criteria, the test item can be ranked as "Category 4" for acute oral exposure.
The LD50 cut-off value is 500 mg/kg bw. - Executive summary:
The single-dose oral toxicity of the test item was performed according to the acute toxic class method (OECD 423 and Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008, B.1.tris) in Han:WIST rats.
Three groups of three female rats were treated with the test item at a dose level of 300 (Groups 1 and 2) or 2000 mg/kg body weight (bw) (Group 3).
A single oral treatment was carried out by gavage for each animal after an overnight food withdrawal. Food was made available again 3 hours after the treatment. The test item was administered in 1% methyl cellulose solution, at a concentration of 30 or 200 mg/mL, at a dose volume of 10 mL/kg bw.
Initially three animals were treated at the starting dose of 300 mg/kg bw (Group 1). As no mortality was observed in this group, a confirmatory group (Group 2) was treated at the same dose level. As no mortality was observed in this confirmatory group, a third group (Group 3) was treated at a higher dose level of 2000 mg/kg bw. One animal was found dead one day after the treatment. The remaining two animals were euthanized preterminally on the same day (Day 1), due to animal welfare reasons, in agreement with the Veterinary. As per the guideline, this is considered in the interpretation of the test results in the same way as the animals that died during the study. No further testing was required.
Clinical observations were performed at once during the first 30 minutes, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6 hours after dosing and daily for 14 days thereafter, where possible. Body weight was measured on Days -1 (prior to removal of food), 0 (prior to dosing), 7 and 14 (prior to necropsy), where possible. Terminal body weight of animals found dead or sacrificedin extremiswere also recorded. All animals were subjected to a necropsy and a macroscopic examination.
