HUSBANDRY
Room No.: 136
Standard Laboratory Conditions:
Air-conditioned with 10—13 air changes per hour, and hourly monitored environment with temperature 20±3 °C, relative humidity 40-70 %, 12 hours artificial fluorescent light/12 hours dark, music/light period.
Accommodation: groups of five in Nakrolon type-3 cages with standard softwood bedding (‘Lignocel’, Schill AG, CH—4132 Muttenz).

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:

oral: gavage

Vehicle:

water

Details on oral exposure:

The animals received a single dose of the test article on a mg/kg body weight base by oral gavage after being fasted for 12 to 18 hours (access to water was not interrupted). Food was again presented approximately 3 hours after dosing.
The oral administration was used because this is one possible route of human exposure during manufacture, handling and use of the test article.

Doses:

10 ml at 1000 mg/kg
10 ml at 2000 mg/kg
20 ml at 3500 mg/kg
20 ml at 5000 mg/kg

No. of animals per sex per dose:

5 male
5 female

Control animals:

no

Details on study design:

OBSERVATION
Mortality, Viability: Four times during test day 1, and daily during days 2 - 15.
Body Weights: Test days 1 (pre—administration), 8 and 15.
Clinical Signs: Each animal was examined for changes in appearance and behaviour rour times during day 1, and daily during days 2-15. All abnormalities were recorded: General behaviour, Respiration, Eye, Nose, Motility, Body Posture, Motor Susceptibility, Skin, Various.

PATHOLOGY
Necropsies were perrormed by experienced prosectors.
All animals were necropsied.
All animals surviving to the end o the observation period were killed by intra peritoneal injection of sodium pentobarbitone.

Statistics:

The LOGIT—Model (COX, Analysis of Binary Data, London 1977) was applied to estimate the toxicity value. Additionally, the 90, 95 and 99 % conridence
limits for the toxicity ftr each sex and the slope of the dose response line were estimated.

Executive summary:

Materials and method

The acute oral toxicity was determinated in the substance according to the OECD Guideline 401 (Acute Oral Toxicity) and EU Method B.1 (Acute Toxicity (Oral), in GLP.

The test article was administered to rats of both sexes by oral gavage at single doses from 1000 to 5000 mg/kg.

Observation:

The following death rate was observed:

0 % at 1000 mg/kg

20 % at 2000 mg/kg

100 % at 3500 mg/kg

80 % at 5000 mg/kg

Results

the LOGIT-estimation for the acute oral toxicity of in rats of both sexes observed for a period of 15 days is 2717 mg/kg (LD50).

(Males: 2432 mg/kg-Females: 2655 mg/kg). Several recovered clinical signs were observed.
