Test animals

Species:

rat

Strain:

Wistar

Sex:

male/female

Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:

- 5 male rats and 5 non gestating rats about 200 to 250g at the time of the trial
- source of the animals: Janvier Le Genest St Isle 53940 FRANCE
- acclimation: at least 5 days in the animal shelter of the laboratory
- house: individual polystyrene cages, room temperature between 18 and 22°C, relative humidity between 50 and 80°C, filtered and recycled air at 3000 cubic meters/hour, 12/12 hours light/dark cycle.

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:

oral: gavage

Vehicle:

paraffin oil

Details on oral exposure:

the single dose was administered with a syringue and the gastro-oesophageal probe.

Doses:

2 g/kg

No. of animals per sex per dose:

5 male rats
5 femal rats

Control animals:

no

Details on study design:

- 18 hours before D0: the animals were maintained on a hydric diet
- D0: the animals were weighed. Administration of the product at 2 g/kg bw. Observation of the animals at T+ 1/4h, T+1h, up to T+6h.
- D1 to D14: daily observation of the animals. Behavioural abnormalities (apathy, excitation, palpebral ptosis), nervous attacks (comas, trembling, convulsions), digestive effects (refusal of food or drink, modification of the volume or appearance of faeces or urina) toxic and corrosif vascular effects (buccal, anal, nasal bleeding), eventual deaths
- D7: weighting of the survivals
- D14: weighting of the survivals

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

not classified

Remarks:

Migrated information

Conclusions:

The test substance has an innocuousness by oral route at a dose of 2 g/kg bw according to the protocol defined in the guideline.

Executive summary:

The test substance was administrated in 5 male and 5 female rats at the dose of 2 g/kg bw according to the guideline EEC 884L251 25/04/84.

Mortality, clinical behavioural and weight evolution were recored for 14 days after the single oral administration.

The absence of mortality or other clinical side effects (severe apathy, loss of weight) allows to conclude in the total innocuousness of the tested product at the dose administered. This allows to classify the product as non toxic.
