Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 4 based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
Silan ODM has to be classified as harmful (200 mg/kg < LD50 < 2000 mg/kg).
The oral L050 value for Silan ODM in CD® rats was ranked within the LD50 range of
200 - 2000 mg/kg body weight.
Executive summary:

Silan ODM was administered orally by gavage to three male CD® rats at 2000 mg/kg body weight and, in addition, to six CD® rats (3 / sex) at 200 mg/kg body weight. Animals were subjected to daily observations and weekly determinations of body weight. Macroscopic examination was performed immediately after premature death or after terminal sacrifice (test day 15). 2000 mg/kg b.w. resulted in the death within 4 days of all male animals. 2000 mg/kg resulted following signs of systemic toxicity: reduced motility, ataxia, reduced muscle tone, dyspnoea, myosis. None of the six CD® rats employed at 200 mg/kg b.w. died. All animals at 200 mg/kg b.w. showed no signs of systemic toxicity. All surviving animals gained the expected body weight within the study period. No abnormalities were found at macroscopic post mortem examination of the animals. The oral LD50 value for Silan ODM in CD® rats was ranked within the LD50 range of 200 - 2000 mg/kg body weight.
