Constituent 1
Test animals
- Species:
- rat
- Strain:
- other: Crl:WI (Han)
- Sex:
- female
- Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
- - Source: Charles River Deutschland, Sulzfeld, Germany
- Age at study initiation: Young adult animals (approx. 9 and 10 weeks old for the first and second group, respectively) (nulliparous and non-pregnant)
- Weight at study initiation: 163-176 g (1st group); 169-215 g (2nd group)
- Fasting period before study: Animals were deprived of food overnight prior to dosing and until 3-4 hours after administration of the test substance.
- Housing: Group housing of 3 animals per cage in labeled Macrolon cages with bedding material and cage-enrichment
- Diet: Free access to pelleted rodent diet (SM R/M-Z from SSNIFF® Spezialdiäten GmbH, Soest, Germany), except before and after exposure
- Water: Free access to tap water.
- Acclimation period: At least 5 days
ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS (set to maintain)
- Temperature (°C): 18 – 24
- Humidity (%): 40 - 70
- Air changes (per hr): approx. 15
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12/12
Variations to these conditions occurred (i.e. maximum relative humidity of 71% on two days and 85% on one day). Based on the laboratory’s extensive experience with variations in these parameters and absence of any clinical signs among the animals that could be associated to these variations, these were considered to have no effect on the outcome of the study.
IN-LIFE DATES: From: 26 April 2012 to 16 May 2012
Administration / exposure
- Route of administration:
- oral: gavage
- Vehicle:
- propylene glycol
- Remarks:
- (specific gravity: 1.036)
- Details on oral exposure:
- GAVAGE METHOD: plastic feeding tubes.
Frequency: single dosage, on day 1.
VEHICLE
- Justification for choice of vehicle: The vehicle was selected based on trial formulations performed at WIL Research Europe
DOSE VOLUME APPLIED: 2000 mg/kg (10 mL/kg) body weight
DOSAGE PREPARATION: The formulations (w/w) were prepared within 4 hours prior to dosing. Homogeneity was accomplished to a visually acceptable level. Adjustment was made for specific gravity of the vehicle. No correction was made for purity of the test substance. - Doses:
- 2000 mg/kg body weight
- No. of animals per sex per dose:
- 6 (2 groups of three females in a stepwise manner)
- Control animals:
- no
- Details on study design:
- The toxicity of the test substance was assessed by stepwise treatment of groups of 3 females. The first group was treated at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg bw. Thereafter the second group was also tested at 2000 mg/kg bw. The onset, duration and severity of the signs of toxicity were taken into account for determination of the time interval between the dose groups.
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing:
Mortality/Viability: Twice daily
Body weights: Days 1 (pre-administration), 8 and 15
Clinical signs: At periodic intervals on the day of dosing (Day 1) and once daily thereafter, until Day 15.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: 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.
- Other examinations performed: none. - Statistics:
- No statistical analysis was performed (The method used is not intended to allow the calculation of a precise LD50 value).

Any other information on results incl. tables
According to the OECD 423 test guideline, the LD50 cut-off value was considered to exceed 5000 mg/kg body weight.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- other: does not need to be classified for acute toxicity by the oral route according to CLP and GHS
- Conclusions:
- In an acute oral toxicity study with the substance in rats, performed according to OECD 423, an LD50 of >2000 mg/kg bw was determined. According to the OECD 423 test guideline, the LD50 cut-off value was considered to exceed 5000 mg/kg body weight.
- Executive summary:
The acute oral toxicity of the substance was determined in accordance with OECD 423 (2001) and according to GLP principles. The substance was administered by oral gavage to two subsequent groups of three female Wistar rats at 2000 mg/kg body weight. No mortality occurred. Hunched posture was noted in animals 2 and 5 on day 1. No abnormalities were found at macroscopic post mortem examination of the animals. The acute oral toxicity (LD50) was determined to be >2000 mg/kg bw. According to the OECD 423 test guideline, the LD50 cut-off value was considered to exceed 5000 mg/kg body weight. Based on these results, the substance does not need to be classified for acute toxicity by the oral route according to CLP and GHS.
