Route of administration:
oral: gavage
Vehicle:
other: Peg 400-water 1:1 v/v
Details on oral exposure:
VEHICLE
- Concentration in vehicle: 200 mg/mL
- Amount of vehicle (if gavage): 10 Ml/kg body weight
- Justification for choice of vehicle: solubility of the test item
Doses:
2000 mg/kg body weight
No. of animals per sex per dose:
2 x 3 females
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: All animals were observed for clinical signs on dosing, approximately 0.5,
2, 4 hours after dosing on the day of treatment and daily thereafter. All animals were weighed at allocation to the
study (Day -1), on the day of dosing (Day 1) and on Days 2, 8 and 15.

with particular attention to the gastro-intestinal tract.
Key result
Sex:
female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 2 000 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
Remarks on result:
not determinable due to absence of adverse toxic effects
Mortality:
No mortality occurred.
Clinical signs:
Blue staining on muzzle, dorsal region or perianal region, due to the colour of the substance, was individually observed for a maximum of 10 days after dosing.
Body weight:
Changes in body weight observed during the study were within the expected range for this strain and age of animals.
Gross pathology:
No abnormalities were observed at necropsy examination.
Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
These results indicate that the test item did not induce toxic effects in the rat following oral administration of a single dose at a level of 2000 mg/kg body weight. The lack of mortality demonstrates the acute toxicity expected (ATE) to be greater than 2000 mg/kg body weight. The LD50 is > 2000 mg/kg body weight.
Executive summary:

The acute toxicity of the test item was investigated following a single oral administration to the Sprague Dawley rat followed by a 14-day observation period.

No mortality occurred in the first group of 3 animals dosed at 2000 mg/kg body weight or in the second one, similarly composed, dosed at the same dose level. Clinical signs were limited to blue staining on muzzle, dorsal region or perianal region individually observed for a maximum of 10 days after dosing, which is caused by the coloured test item. Body weight changes recorded during the study were within the expected range for this strain and age of animals.

No abnormalities were observed at necropsy examination performed at the end of the observation period on animals of both groups.

These results indicate that the test item did not induce toxic effects in the rat following oral administration of a single dose at a level of 2000 mg/kg body weight. The lack of mortality demonstrates the acute toxicity expected (ATE) and the mean lethal dose (LD50) to be greater than 2000 mg/kg body weight.

Key result
Sex:

Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 2 000 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
Remarks on result:
not determinable due to absence of adverse toxic effects
Mortality:
No mortality occurred.
Clinical signs:
Blue staining in treated site, due to the colour of the substance, was observed in all male and female animals from Day 2 up
to Day 14. On Day 15, this finding was observed in 3 males and 4 females.
Body weight:
Body weights and body weight changes were within the expected range for this species and age of animals at the end of the study.
Gross pathology:
Blue staining on the treatment site was observed in several animals during the external examination performed on all animals at termination of the
study. No internal abnormalities were noted during the necropsy procedure.
Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
These results indicate that the test item has no toxic effect on the rat following dermal exposure over a period of approximately
25 hours at a level of 2000 mg/kg body weight. The lack of mortality demonstrates the acute toxicity expected (ATE) to be greater than 2000 mg/kg
body weight.
European Directives concerning the classification, packaging and labelling of dangerous substances (Council Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 and
subsequent revisions) would suggest the following:
Classification: Not required
Signal word: None indicated
Hazard statement: None indicated
Executive summary:

The acute toxicity of was investigated following dermal administration of a single dose to the rat. A single dose of 2000 mg/kg body weight was administered to a group of 5 male and 5 female animals for approximately 25 hours. After 14 days, all animals were killed and subjected to necropsy examination.

No mortality occurred and no signs of toxicity were observed in male or female animals during the observation period.

The body weight changes observed during the study were within the expected range for this species and age of animals.

Only blue staining on the treatment site, due to the colour of the substance, was found at necropsy in several animals at termination of the study.

These results indicate that the test item has no toxic effect on the rat following dermal exposure over a period of approximately 25 hours at a level of 2000 mg/kg body weight. The lack of mortality demonstrates the acute toxicity expected (ATE) and the mean lethal dose (LD50) to be greater than 2000 mg/kg body weight.
