VEHICLE
- Concentration in vehicle: 200 mg/mL
- Lot/batch no.: 12J110516

MAXIMUM DOSE VOLUME APPLIED: 10 mL/kg bw

CLASS METHOD
- Rationale for the selection of the starting dose: The starting dose was selected on the basis of the available information about the test item.
Doses:
2000 mg/kg bw
No. of animals per sex per dose:
6
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: Animals were observed individually after dosing once during the first 30 minutes, then 1 h, 2 h, 3 h, 4 h, after the treatment and once per day for 14 days thereafter. The body weight were recorded on day 0 (shortly before the treatment), on day 7 and on day 15 on all animals with a precision of 1 g, respectively.

- Other examinations performed: clinical signs, body weight, gross pathology
Key result
Sex:

Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 2 000 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
Mortality:
The test item did not induce mortality following a single oral administration to female rats at a dose of 2000 mg/kg bw. All female rats survived the performed treatment until the end of the 14-day observation period.
Clinical signs:
other: In group 1 and 2 (2000 mg/kg bw) the mean body weight and body weight gain of the animals corresponded to their species and age throughout the study.
Gross pathology:
All animals treated with 2000 mg/kg bw dose of test item survived until the scheduled necropsy on Day 15. Internal necropsy finding as pale kidneys was observed in animal No.: 1169 of group 2. This alteration could not be related to the test item toxic effect, but was regarded an individual variation. Most likely the observation is a congenital anomaly. Severe hydrometra was found in two females (No.: 1169, 1172) of the group 2. Hydrometra is physiological finding and connected to the cycle of the animals. No pathological changes were found related to the effect of the test item during the macroscopic examination of animals.
Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The method used is not intended to allow for the calculation of a precise LD50 value. However for this acute oral toxicity study with the test item in rats the determined LD50 is above 2000 mg/kg bw. Thus, the test item is ranked into classes of Globally Harmonized Classification System (GHS) described in the OECD Guideline No. 423 as not classified.
Executive summary:

An acute oral toxicity study was carried out using the class method according to OECD guideline 423. The starting dose was selected on the basis of the available information about the test item. The acute toxic class method was carried out involving a stepwise procedure with the use of 2000 mg/kg bw as the starting dose in three female rats. No animal died in the first step at 2000 mg/kg bw dose level. Therefore, treatment with 2000 mg/kg bw was repeated on further three female rats. Again, no animal died in the second step, thus, no further testing was required. The stopping criteria of Annex 2d of OECD Guideline No. 423 (presented in Appendix 7) were met. Animals were weighed, observed for lethality and toxic symptoms for 14 days after the treatment. Gross pathological examination was carried out on 15th day after the treatment. No lethality was noted following oral administration of a single dose of 2000 mg/kg bw. In the first and second step at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg bw no clinical symptoms were observed on the day of the treatment and during the 14-day observation period, the general state and behaviour of experimental animals were normal. The body weight development was normal in all animals. All organs of the animals treated with 2000 mg/kg bw dose proved to be free of treatment related gross pathological changes.

Mortality:
No mortality occurred after the 24-hour dermal exposure to test item in Crl(WI)Br male and female rats during the study.
Clinical signs:
other: see Remark
Body weight:
lower than 10% body weight loss
Remarks:
Mean body weight development was within the normal range for male animals of this strain and age. A body weight loss was observed in female No.: 1195 treated with 2000 mg/kg bw test item between Day 0 and Day 7. The body weight loss was very slight (approx. 1.1 %).
Gross pathology:
All animals survived until the scheduled necropsy on Day 15.
Internal macroscopic changes were observed. A pale liver was detected in male animal No.: 1219, and pale kidneys were found in two male animals (No.: 1219, 1221). These alterations could not be related to the test item toxic effect, but were regarded an individual variation. Most likely the observations are a congenital anomaly.
Severe hydrometra was observed in two females (No.: 1195, 1196). Hydrometra is a physiological finding and connected to the cycle of the animal.
No macroscopic alterations due to the systemic toxic effects of the test item were found.
Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
In this acute dermal toxicity study with the test item the obtained acute dermal LD50 value was greater than 2000 mg/kg bw in Crl(WI)Br male and female rats. According to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 and UN GHS, the test item has not been classified into any category. On the other hand, it is to be noted that the test item caused dermal irritation response on the site of administration.
Executive summary:

An acute dermal toxicity study was performed with test item in Crl(WI)Br rats, in compliance with OECD Guideline No. 402 and OPPTS 870.1200. A limit test was carried out. A single group of male and female animals (n=5 animals/sex) was exposed to test item at 2000 mg/kg bw by dermal route. The test item was applied in undiluted form and left in contact with the skin for 24 hours, followed by a 14-day observation period.

The results of the study were summarised as follows:

No mortality occurred after the 24-hour dermal exposure to the test item in male and female rats during the study.

Neither male nor female animals treated with 2000 mg/kg bw of the test item showed behavioural changes and no systemic toxic signs were noted during the study. The test item caused dermal irritation symptoms as well defined and slight erythema in both sexes, between Day 1 and Day 5 in males and between Day 1 and Day 14 in females. Other dermal irritation symptom as dry skin, desquamation were recorded between Day 1 and Day 7 in males and between Day 1 and Day 8 in females and wounds were found in females between Day 6 and Day 14, as well. Mean body weight development was within the normal range for male animals of this strain and age. Slight body weight loss was observed in one female on first week. It was not evaluated as a toxic effect of the test item. No macroscopic alterations of organs and tissues referred to the systemic toxic effect of the test item were seen during the necropsy.

Additional information

Acute toxicity oral:


An acute oral toxicity study was carried out using the class method according to OECD guideline 423. The starting dose was selected on the basis of the available information about the test item. The acute toxic class method was carried out involving a stepwise procedure with the use of 2000 mg/kg bw as the starting dose in three female rats. No animal died in the first step at 2000 mg/kg bw dose level. Therefore, treatment with 2000 mg/kg bw was repeated on further three female rats. Again, no animal died in the second step, thus, no further testing was required. The stopping criteria of Annex 2d of OECD Guideline No. 423 (presented in Appendix 7) were met. Animals were weighed, observed for lethality and toxic symptoms for 14 days after the treatment. Gross pathological examination was carried out on 15th day after the treatment. No lethality was noted following oral administration of a single dose of 2000 mg/kg bw. In the first and second step at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg bw no clinical symptoms were observed on the day of the treatment and during the 14-day observation period, the general state and behaviour of experimental animals were normal. The body weight development was normal in all animals. All organs of the animals treated with 2000 mg/kg bw dose proved to be free of treatment related gross pathological changes. The method used is not intended to allow for the calculation of a precise LD50 value. However for this acute oral toxicity study with the test item in rats the determined LD50 is above 2000 mg/kg bw. Thus, the test item is ranked into classes of Globally Harmonized Classification System (GHS) described in the OECD Guideline No. 423 as not classified.


 


Acute toxicity dermal:


An acute dermal toxicity study was performed with test item in Crl(WI)Br rats, in compliance with OECD Guideline No. 402 and OPPTS 870.1200. A limit test was carried out. A single group of male and female animals (n = 5 animals/sex) was exposed to test item at 2000 mg/kg bw by dermal route. The test item was applied in undiluted form and left in contact with the skin for 24 hours, followed by a 14-day observation period.


The results of the study were summarised as follows:


No mortality occurred after the 24-hour dermal exposure to the test item in male and female rats during the study.


Neither male nor female animals treated with 2000 mg/kg bw of the test item showed behavioural changes and no systemic toxic signs were noted during the study. The test item caused dermal irritation symptoms as well defined and slight erythema in both sexes, between Day 1 and Day 5 in males and between Day 1 and Day 14 in females. Other dermal irritation symptom as dry skin, desquamation were recorded between Day 1 and Day 7 in males and between Day 1 and Day 8 in females and wounds were found in females between Day 6 and Day 14, as well.
