IN-LIFE DATES: From: To: 2016-04-14 to 2016-05-03

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:

oral: gavage

Vehicle:

unchanged (no vehicle)

Details on oral exposure:

The specific gravity was determined and used to calculate the appropriate dose volume for the required dose level.
For the purpose of the 2000 mg/kg dose level, the test item was used as supplied. The 2000 mg/kg bw dose level was treated stepwise. Singuarly and in the absence of mortality or evident toxicity a further group of 4 was tested at the same dose level.

Doses:

2000 mg/kg bw (main study)

No. of animals per sex per dose:

1 (initial sentinel) and 4 (additional); 5 total per sex per dose

Control animals:

no

Details on study design:

- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: Clinical observations were made 0.5, 1, 2, and 4 hours after dosing and then daily for fourteen days. Morbidity and mortality checks were made twice daily. Individual body weights were recorded on Day 0 (the day of dosing) and on Days 7 and 14.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

not classified

Remarks:

Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU

Conclusions:

Under the conditions of this study the oral LD50 was established to exceed 2000 mg/kg bw in female Wistar rats. Under the conditions of this study, and according to the OECD TG 420 criteria, the LD50 cut-off value was considered to be greater than 5000 mg/kg body weight.

Executive summary:

The study was performed according to OECD TG 420 and EU Method B.1 bis Acute Toxicity (Oral) and in accordance with GLP to assess the acute oral toxicity of the test material following a single oral administration in the female Wistar strain rat by the fixed dose method. The test substance was administered by oral gavage in an initial sighting study at 2000 mg/kg. Subsequently a further group of four fasted females was given a single oral dose of test item, at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg body weight. Clinical signs and body weight development were monitored during the study and gross necropsy performed. There was no mortality during the course of the study. No signs of systemic toxicity were noted. Animals showed expected gains in bodyweight over the study period and there were no abnormalities were noted at necropsy. Under the conditions of this study the oral LD50 was established to exceed 2000 mg/kg bw in female Wistar rat. Under the conditions of this study, and according to the OECD TG 420 criteria, the LD50 cut-off value was considered to be greater than 5000 mg/kg body weight.
