TEST ANIMALS
- Source :IFFA-CREDO (69210 - L'Arbresle, France)
- Age at study initiation: approximately 6 weeks
- Weight at study initiation: 172-204 g (males); 172-191 g (females)
- Fasting period before study: overnight
- Diet (e.g. ad libitum): complete pelleted rat maintenance diet UAR A04-10 (91360- Epinay Sur Orge, France)
- Housing: polypropylene cages (310 x 465 x 190)
- Acclimation period: at least 5 days
Route of administration:
oral: gavage
Vehicle:
not specified
Doses:
2000 mg/kg
No. of animals per sex per dose:
Five
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: a clinical observation was carried out at least once a day in order to evaluate the general appearance, behaviour and vegetative functions of the animals. An individual clinical observation was performed one hour after treatment. The continuous observations during the following five hours were each renewed the following day. Bodyweights were taken just prior to administration of the test substance and again on days 4, 8 and 15.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: at termination of the study, the rats were sacrificed and all abnormalities recorded.
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 2 000 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
Mortality:
No mortality occurred.
Clinical signs:
other: Just after the treatment, and during the first six hours following administration of the test substance, a slight piloerection was noticed in all animals with a decrease in motor activity and in muscle tone (staggering gait) appearing 1 hour after treatme
Gross pathology:
Gross necroscopy of animals 14 days after treatment did not show any visible organic or tissular lesions which may imply a possible systemic toxicity of the test substance.

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Under the conditions of the test, the acute oral toxicity of the test substance was determined to be LD50 >2000 mg/kg bw.
Executive summary:

In a GLP compliant acute oral toxicity study conducted in line with standardised guideline OECD 401, the acute oral toxicity of the test substance was determined. Under the conditions of the test, the LD50 of the test substance in rats was determined to be >2000 mg/kg bw and so the substance is considered to be unclassified for acute oral toxicity.

Additional information

Oral

The key study was performed in line with GLP and a standardised guideline at a single dose of 2000 mg/kg. No mortality occurred during the study and so the LD50 for the test substance was set as >2000 mg/kg bw. The study was selected as the key study on the basis that it was performed in line with GLP and a standardised guideline.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Oral

According to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, the studies available suggest that the test substance is considered to be unclassified for acute oral toxicity.
