Results and discussion

Preliminary study:
not specified
Effect levels
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 10 000 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
Mortality:
No effect on survival of treated male and female rats were observed.
Clinical signs:
other: No effect on clinical sign of treated male and female rats were observed.
Gross pathology:
not specified
Other findings:
Distinct blue coloration of the skin showed that some of the colouring had been absorbed although substantial amounts were excreted in the faeces.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: Not classified
Conclusions:
The acute oral toxicity dose (LD50) was considered to be >10000 mg/kg bw, when 5 male and 5 female SPF Carworth Farm E rats were treated with test chemical via oral gavage route.
Executive summary:

Acute oral toxicity study was conducted by using test chemical in 5 male and 5 female SPF Carworth Farm E rats at the dose concentration of 10000 mg/Kg bw via oral gavage route. Animals were observed for mortality and clinical sign for 7 days. The LD50 values with 95% confidence limits calculated according to Litchfield & Wilcoxon (1949). No effect on survival of treated male and female rats were observed. No effect on clinical sign of treated male and female rats were observed. Distinct blue coloration of the skin showed that some of the colouring had been absorbed although substantial amounts were excreted in the faeces. Hence, LD50 value was considered to be >10000 mg/kg bw, when 5 male and 5 female SPF Carworth Farm E rats were treated with test chemical via oral gavage route.
