- Specific details on test material used for the study:
- Naringin (batch No. 20080203) was extracted and purified in the laboratory.
Prepared from pulverized Citrus grandis 'Tormentosa' by the following procedures: extracted with water, precipitated by ethanol, and filtered; and then collected and further concentrated the filtrate; the filtrate, on standing, deposited crystals; the precipitate was separated and recrystallized from mixtures of ethanol and water at different ratios; the recrystallized precipitate was dried at 110 C.
Naringin was obtained, and identification was performed by ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy (UV/Vis), electron spray ionization–mass spectrometry, proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) and carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance (13C NMR) spectroscopy. The purity analysis was performed on a Shimadzu (HPLC) LC-6A instrument (Shimadzu Corp., Kyoto, Japan) with a Dionex C18 column (5 µm, 4.6 mm 250 mm, USA) and a TL9000 Chromatographic Station. The mobile phase was prepared by a 45/55 (v/v) mixture of methanol/water and the pH was adjusted to 3.0 with acetic acid. The injection volume was 20 ll. The UV detector was set at a wavelength of 283 nm. The HPLC purity of naringin was determined to be >98.3% by external standard method. - Species:

- Hematology: erythrocyte count (RBC), haemoglobin concentration (HGB), haematocrit (HCT), mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular haemoglobin (MCH), mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration (MCHC), reticulocyte count (RET), white blood cell count (WBC) and differential, platelet count (PLT), prothrombin time (PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT)
- Clinical biochemistry: biochemical indexes includes serum aspartate aminotransferase (AST), serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT), creatine kinase (CK), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), urea nitrogen (UREA), total serum protein (TP), albumin (ALB), albumin/globulin ratio (A/G), blood glucose (GLU), total bilirubin (TBIL), creatinine (Crea), total cholesterol (CHOL), triglycerides (TG), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C), sodium (Na), potassium (K), and chloride (Cl). - Statistics:
- Body weight, organ weight (both absolute and relative weights), food consumption, hematology, serum biochemistry and serum sex hormone analyses were tested by conducting One-Way ANOVA using SPSS 13.0 statistical software. When statistically significant differences were indicated, the least significant difference (LSD) test was employed for comparisons between groups. Levene’s test was used to assess the homogeneity of variances in data. If the variance was not homogeneous, the Kruskal–Wallis test was applied.
- Key result

- - The hematology assessments, including RBC, HGB, HCT, MCV, MCH, MCHC, RET, WBC, white blood cell differential count, PLT and PT for rats treated with naringin, were not remarkably different compared to control rats. APTT of naringin treatment group is significantly longer than that of control group (p < 0.05), but stayed within the normal reference range.
- The biochemical analyses indicated that no significant differences between the control and naringin treated groups were detected for any of the parameters. - Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Remarks:
- EU criteria.
- Conclusions:
- The test item has an LD50 greater than 16g/kg in rats.
- Executive summary:
To determine the acute oral toxicity of the test item in rats, a limit test was performed, according to the ‘‘Technical Guideline for Acute Toxicity Test of chemical drugs’’(SFDA, 2004, China), similar to OECD 420 (GLP study). The test item was orally administered to 6 male and 6 female Sprague-Dawley rats, at a single bolus dose of 16 g/kg bw, by gavage. All animals were thoroughly observed immediately after administration for the onset of any toxic signs and once daily thereafter for 14 days. Survival, feed intake, and body weight were monitored. There were no mortality, adverse clinical signs, abnormal changes in body weights or food consumption, toxicologically relevant changes in hematology, clinical biochemistry and macroscopic findings during 14 days of the acute toxicity study. Under test conditions, the test item was found to be non-toxic by oral route, with an LD50 > 16g/kg in rats.

Additional information
Acute toxicity: oral. To determine the acute oral toxicity of the test item in rats, a limit test was performed, according to the ‘‘Technical Guideline for Acute Toxicity Test of chemical drugs’’(SFDA, 2004, China), similar to OECD 420 (GLP study). The test item was orally administered to 6 male and 6 female Sprague-Dawley rats, at a single bolus dose of 16 g/kg bw, by gavage, and observed for 14 days. There were no mortality, adverse clinical signs, abnormal changes in body weights or food consumption, toxicologically relevant changes in hematology, clinical biochemistry and macroscopic findings. Therefore, with an LD50 > 16g/kg in rats.
Acute toxicity: dermal. To determine the acute dermal toxicity of the test item in rats, a limit test was performed, according to OECD 402 (GLP study). The test item was applied onto the intact skin of 10 Sprague Dawley rats (5 males, 5 females) at a dose of 2000 mg/kg bw. All animals were observed once daily for 14 days, survival and body weight were monitored. There were no mortality, adverse clinical signs, abnormal changes in body weights or macroscopic findings. Therefore, the test item was found to be non-toxic by dermal route, with an LD50 > 2000 mg/kg bw in rats.
Acute toxicity: other routes. Supporting study. The test item was administered intraperitoneally at doses of 2570, 1977, 1521, 1170, and 900 mg/kg test item to 5 ICR mice. The intraperitoneal LD50 of the test item in mice was 1650 mg/kg bw.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Based on available information (oral LD50 > 16 g/kg in rats, dermal LD50 > 2000 mg/kg bw in rats), the substance is not classified for acute toxicity according to CLP Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
