MAXIMUM DOSE VOLUME APPLIED: Dosed at 10 mL/kg bw
CLASS METHOD (if applicable)
- Rationale for the selection of the starting dose: Limit dose - Doses:
- 2000 mg/kg bw
- No. of animals per sex per dose:
- 2 dose groups, each containing 3 females
- Control animals:
- no
- Details on study design:
- - Duration of observation period following administration: 15 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: Animals were observed for mortality/viability twice daily. Body weights were recorded on Days 1 (pre-administration), 8 and 15. Clinical signs were observed at periodic intervals on the day of dosing (Day 1) and once daily thereafter until Day 15. The signs were graded according to fixed scales and the time of onset, degree and duration were recorded.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: Yes. At the end of the observation period, all animals were sacrificed by oxygen/carbon dioxide procedure and subjected to necropsy. Descriptions of all internal macroscopic abnormalities were recorded. - Statistics:

- Key result
- Sex:
- female
- Dose descriptor:
- LD50
- Effect level:
- > 2 000 mg/kg bw
- Based on:
- act. ingr.
- Remarks on result:
- not determinable due to absence of adverse toxic effects
- Mortality:
- No mortality occurred.
- Clinical signs:
- Orange discoloration of the faeces and/or urine was noted for all animals between Days 1 and 3. This was considered to be due to the colour of the test material.
- Body weight:
- The mean body weight gain shown by the surviving animals over the study period was considered to be similar to that expected for normal untreated animals of the same age and strain.
- Gross pathology:
- No abnormalities were found at macroscopic post mortem examination of the animals.
- Interpretation of results:
- other: Not classified in accordance with EU criteria
- Conclusions:
- Under the conditions of this study, the oral LD50 value in Wistar rats was established to exceed 2000 mg/kg body weight.
- Executive summary:
The acute oral toxicity potential of the test material to the rat was investigated in accordance with the standardised guidelines OECD 423, EU Method B1 tris, US EPA OPPTS 870.1100 and JMAFF 12 Nousan Notification No 8147 under GLP conditions using the Acute Toxic Class Method.
The test material was administered by oral gavage to two consecutive groups of three female Wistar rats at 2000 mg/kg body weight. Animals were subjected to daily observations and weekly determination of body weight. Macroscopic examination was performed after terminal sacrifice (Day 15).
No mortality occurred. Orange discoloration of the faeces and/or urine was noted for all animals between Days 1 and 3. This was considered to be due to the colour of the test material. The mean body weight gain shown by the animals over the study period was considered to be normal and no abnormalities were found at macroscopic post mortem examination of the animals.
Under the conditions of this study, the oral LD50 value in Wistar rats was established to exceed 2000 mg/kg body weight.
Reference
The oral LD50 value in Wistar rats was established to exceed 2000 mg/kg body weight. According to the OECD 423 test guideline, the LD50 cut-off value was considered to exceed 5000 mg/kg body weight.

Additional information
Oral
The acute oral toxicity potential of the test material to the rat was investigated in accordance with the standardised guidelines OECD 423, EU Method B1 tris, US EPA OPPTS 870.1100 and JMAFF 12 Nousan Notification No 8147 under GLP conditions using the Acute Toxic Class Method. The study was awarded a reliability score of 1 in accordance with the criteria set forth by Klimisch et al. (1997).
The test material was administered by oral gavage to two consecutive groups of three female Wistar rats at 2000 mg/kg body weight. Animals were subjected to daily observations and weekly determination of body weight. Macroscopic examination was performed after terminal sacrifice (Day 15).
No mortality occurred. Orange discoloration of the faeces and/or urine was noted for all animals between Days 1 and 3. This was considered to be due to the colour of the test material. The mean body weight gain shown by the animals over the study period was considered to be normal and no abnormalities were found at macroscopic post mortem examination of the animals.
Under the conditions of this study, the oral LD50 value in Wistar rats was established to exceed 2000 mg/kg body weight.
Justification for classification or non-classification
In accordance with the criteria for classification as defined in Annex I, Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, the substance does not require classification with respect to acute toxicity via the oral route.
