Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Based on the results of the study, the oral LD50 of the test article is greater than 16 mL/kg (17,600 mg/kg).
Executive summary:

 The acute oral toxicity of the test article (liquid, lot not reported) was evaluated in male and female rats (strain unknown). The test article was tested as received. A rangefinder was conducted with rats (2/sex/group) receiving 1, 4, or 16 mL/kg test article (equivalent to up to 17,600 mg/kg) via oral gavage. All rats survived the rangefinder so a definitive study was performed. Rats in the definitive study (5/sex/group) received water or 16 mL/kg test article via oral gavage. The rats were observed daily for 14 days. Body weights were recorded weekly. All animals survived. Piloerection and hunched posture were observed shortly after dosing. Diuresis and diarrhea was observed in 4 of 10 rats. All rats were normal by 3 days after dosing. Body weights were normal throughout the study. Based on the results of this study, the oral LD50 of the test article is greater than 17,600 mg/kg.
