Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Under the conditions of the present study, a single oral application of the test item By-product from
Guanidinoacetic acid manufacturing - solution to rats at a dose of 2000 mg/kg body weight (based
on the content of dissolved solids) was associated with signs of toxicity but not with mortality.
The median lethal dose of By-product from Guanidinoacetic acid manufacturing - solution after a
single oral administration to female rats, observed over a period of 14 days is:
LD50 cut-off (rat): 5000 mg/kg bw
Executive summary:

Two groups, each of three female WISTAR Crl: WI(Han) rats, were treated with the test item by oral
gavage administration at a dosage of 2000 mg/kg body weight. The liquid test item was applied
undiluted. The dose was calculated based on the content of dissolved solids in aqueous solution
(18.03%).
All animals used in the study after their entrance at BSL were allowed to acclimatise to the
laboratory conditions for at least 5 days. The animals were observed on delivery, on inclusion in the
study and before administration for mortality/morbidity and other clinical signs. All animals were
examined for clinical signs several times on the day of dosing and once daily until the end of the
observation period. Their body weights were recorded on day 1 (prior to the administration) and on
days 8 and 15. All animals were necropsied and examined macroscopically.


All animals survived until the end of the study showing slight to moderate signs of toxicity.
The most relevant clinical findings in the animals were moving the bedding, reduced spontaneous
activity, hunched posture and piloerection. All animals recovered within up to one day post-dose.
Throughout the 14-day observation period, the weight gain of the animals was within the normal
range of variation for this strain.
At necropsy, no macroscopic findings were observed in any animal of any step.
