Route of administration:

oral: gavage

Vehicle:

water

Details on oral exposure:

MAXIMUM DOSE VOLUME APPLIED: 30 ml/kg body weight

The test substance was dissolved in water at room temperature and administered once to 5 male and 5 female animals each per dose at a constant application volume of 30 ml/kg body weight. A rigid metal gavage was used for that purpose.

The animals were inspected several times on the day of administration and twice daily during the following 14-day observation period (once on weekends and bank holidays). During
inspections the type, onset, duration and intensity of clinical signs were recorded and dead animals removed, if necessary.
Intercurrently deceased animals and those terminated at the end of study were necropsied on a random basis.
The surviving animals were individually weighed during application, after one week and at the end of the 14-day observation period.

Doses:

5000, 3100 mg/kg body weight

No. of animals per sex per dose:

5 males
5 females

Control animals:

no

Details on study design:

- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: Symptoms were recorded twice every day (in the morning and in the afternoon), on weekends and public holidays only once. During this time the animals were weighed weekly.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes
- Other examinations performed: clinical signs, body weight,

Key result

Sex:

male/female

Dose descriptor:

LD50

Effect level:

> 5 000 mg/kg bw

Based on:

test mat.

Mortality:

One female animal died within the first 8 hours p.a.

Clinical signs:

5000 mg/kg bw: iimpairment of general physical condition, diarrhea, nausea and sedation. The signs occurred about 1 minute after application, were of slight-to-moderate intensity and persisted until the 2nd day of study.

Body weight:

no effects

Gross pathology:

The animals killed at the end of the observation period showed slight reddening of the gastric mucosa in 2 females of the dose 5000 mg/kg bw.

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

Based on the results obtained in this study the median lethal dose value (LD50) of the substance for the male and female rat is greater than 5000 mg/kg body weight.

Executive summary:

Acute oral toxicity testing in male and female Wistar rats yielded a median lethal dose (LD50) above 5000 mg/kg body weight in both male and female animals. No lethality occurred after application of 5000 mg/kg body weight. Development of body weight was not impaired. The following signs of intoxication were observed after administration of 5000 mg/kg body weight: impairment of general physical condition, diarrhea, nausea and sedation. The dose 3100 mg/kg body weight was tolerated without adverse effects. The animals killed at the end of the observation period showed no macroscopically visible changes. Based on the results obtained in this study the median lethal dose value (LD50) of the substance for the male and female rat is greater than 5000 mg/kg body weight.
