Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
oral: gavage
Vehicle:
not specified
Doses:
Preliminary test: 250, 500, 1000, 2000, and 4000 mg/kg
Definitive test: 0 mg/kg, 2000 mg/kg and 4000 mg/kg
No. of animals per sex per dose:
5
Control animals:
yes
Details on study design:
General state of health.
We observed and checked any change in the general state of health and the number of death cases at 5, 15, and 30 minutes, and 1, 3, 6, and 24 hours after the administration and then twice daily until the 14th day.

Body weight
We measured body weight on the 0, 1, 2, 3, 7, 10, and 14 days after the administration.

Anatomical dissection
After the observation period was over, all the cases were bled to death under ether anesthesia, and we observed the body surface, inside the skull, thoracic cavity, and abdominal cavity with the naked eye.

Histopathological test
We did not conduct a histopathological test because no abnormal change was observed in the anatomical dissection.
Statistics:
Method for statistical analysis:
Concerning change in body weight, first we obtained an average value and standard deviation in each group. Then, if uniformity of dispersion was observed with F-test, we conducted the Student's t-test, otherwise we conducted Aspin-Welch's t-test, in order to compare the treatment groups to the control.

Results and discussion

Preliminary study:
In the preliminary test conducted a dose of 250, 500, 1000, 2000, and 4000 mg/kg of the substance were administered to five groups respectively, each of which consisted of 2 male and 2 female animals. No death resulting from test item was observed. Therefore, the maximum doses of 2000 mg/kg and 4000 mg/kg) were chosen in the main study.
Effect levels
Key result
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 4 000 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
Mortality:
One case of death was observed in the females assigned to the 4000 mg/kg group 3 hours after the administration.
Clinical signs:
other: 4000 mg/kg group: Salivation was observed in 2 or 3 females 5 minutes to 1 hour after the administration; salivation was observed in 2 male rats 3 hours after the administration. In addition, decreased activity was observed in 1 or 2 female and male rats
Gross pathology:
A noteworthy change was not observed in the fatal case of the female rat in the 4000 mg/kg group and in any surviving male or female rats in all groups.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
One death was observed in the 5 females in the 4000 mg/kg group while no case of death was observed in the males. No difference was observed in both general state of health and change in body weight between the females and the males. Therefore, LD50 of test item in this study was estimated to be greater than 4000 mg/kg in both female and male rats.
Executive summary:

A study was performed to assess the acute oral toxicity of the test item to Crj:CD(SD) rats. A single dose of test item at 0, 2000 and 4000 mg/kg were administered orally to three groups of Crj:CD(SD) rats, each of which consisted of 5 females or 5 males. After the administration, the rats were observed for 14 days for examination of signs of toxicity.

One death was observed in the 5 females in the 4000 mg/kg group. Transient salivation and decreased activity were observed in a few females and males in both groups in 5 minutes to 3 hours after administration. Significant restraint on increase of body weight was observed on the 1st day in both the females and the males in 4000 mg/kg group, however the condition started making a recovery on the 2nd day or later, and reached approximately same levels as the control group on the 7th day or later. At autopsy, no abnormal change was observed in any females and males in each group including the fatal case.

One death was observed in the 5 females in the 4000 mg/kg group. No difference was observed in both general state of health and change in body weight between the females and the males. Therefore, LD50 of test item in this study was estimated to be about 4000 mg/kg in both female and male rats
