male
Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
TEST ANIMALS
- Age at study initiation: 5-6 weeks old.
- Fasting period before study: 8h prior to dosing.
- Housing: polycarbonate cages.
- Food (Hwahan pellet feed) and water ad libitum.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 23.8 ± 1.9ºC
- Humidity (%): 72,3 ± 7.2%
- Air changes (per hr):
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 9h light /15h dark.

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
intraperitoneal
Vehicle:
propylene glycol
Details on exposure:
Concentration up to 20% (w/v) in propylene glycol.
Doses:
2570, 1977, 1521, 1170, and 900 mg/kg.
No. of animals per sex per dose:
5
Control animals:
yes
Details on study design:
Examinations:
- General clinical observations and body weight, weekly.
- Gross necropsy.
- Hematology: 24 hours after treatment, the animals were anesthetized with urethane. Blood was collected as part of the procedure, centrifuged (5 min at 3000 rpm), and serum separated. Parameters measured: total protein creatinine, GPT, phosphorus, calcium, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), GOT, alkaline phosphatase, and albumin.
- Histopathology.
Statistics:
Statistical analysis method of Litchfield and Wilcoxon was used (Litchfield et al., 1949).

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The LD50 of the test item in mice by ip administration was found to be 1650 mg/kg bw.
Executive summary:

To determine the acute intraperitoneal toxicity of the test item in mice, the test item was administered intraperitoneally at doses of 2570, 1977, 1521, 1170, and 900 mg/kg test item to 5 ICR mice. The LD50 of the test item in mice by ip administration was found to be 1650 mg/kg bw.
