- Weight at study initiation: Males: 198-230 g, females: 187-205 g
- Fasting period before study: Animals were fasted overnight before test material administration.
- Housing: Animals were housed in groups of 5/sex in grid bottomed polypropylene cages.
- Diet: Commercially available pelleted rodent diet (Modified 41B supplied by Pilsbury's Limited, Birmingham), ad libitum
- Water: Mains drinking water, ad libitum
- Acclimation period: 5 days

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature: 19-23 °C
- Humidity: 58-83 %. (humidity of animal room was outside of target ranges but this is considered not to have affected the conditions of this study)

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
oral: gavage
Vehicle:
other: 0.25 % aqueous solution of gum tragacanth
Details on oral exposure:
MAXIMUM DOSE VOLUME APPLIED: 10 ml/kg bw

DOSAGE PREPARATION (if unusual): Test material was suspended in a 0.25 % aqueous solution of gum tragacanth.
Doses:
2000 mg/kg bw
No. of animals per sex per dose:
5 rats/sex
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: All animals were examined for signs of toxicity or other effects frequently after dosing and then daily for 14 days. Animals were weighed at weekly intervals.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: Yes; on completion of the observation period, all surviving animals were sacrificed by carbon dioxide asphyxiation and subjected to gross necropsy. Animals which died during the course of the study were also subjected to gross necropsy.

Executive summary:

In an acute oral toxicity study (limit test) performed according to OECD Guideline No. 401 and in compliance with GLP, a group of Sprague Dawley rats (5/sex) were administered a single oral dose of test material at 2000 mg/kg bw by gavage. Animals were observed for mortality, and clinical signs after dosing and then daily for 14 days. Individual bodyweights were recorded on Day 1, 8 and 15 and then necropsied for macroscopic observations.

2/5 male and 2/5 female animals were died within 4 h of dosing. No clinical signs were observed. All animals showed expected gains in bodyweight during the study. No signs of gross pathological change were found by necropsy.

Oral LD50 Combined > 2000 mg/kg bw

Under the test conditions, the test material is not classified according to the annex VI of the Regulation EC No. 1272/2008 (CLP).

This study is considered as acceptable and satisfies the requirement for acute oral toxicity endpoint.
