The single volume of administered suspension was 1 mL/100 g of animal body weight. The starting dose was 300 mg/kg of body weight.PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF THE TEST SUBSTANCEImmediately before application the test substance was weighed and mixed in vehicle. The test substance was administered dissolved in water for injections.

Executive summary:

The aim of the study was to investigate acute toxic effects of the test substance, Direct Black 51 after a single oral administration to Wistar Han rats. The testing was performed according Method B.1 tris: Acute Oral Toxicity - Acute Toxic Class Method, Council Regulation (EC) No.440/2008, published in O.J. L 142, 2008.

The test substance was administered dissolved in water for injections as a single dose, given orally via gavage to three groups of three female rats. The dosing was performed sequentially in three groups of three females: group No. 1 - first step using the starting dose of 300 mg/kg of body weight, group No. 2 - second step using higher dose 2000 mg/kg and group No. 3 – third step using the same dose 2000 mg/kg.

The test substance administered at the dose of 2000 mg/kg caused no death of animals. No clinical signs of intoxication were detected during whole study. No pathologic macroscopic changes were diagnosed during pathological examination.

According to the study results the value of LD50 of the test substance, Direct Black 51, for female rats is higher than 2000 mg/kg of body weight.
