The clinical signs and mortality observations were conducted at immediately (0 to 5 minutes), 5, 10, 30, 60 minutes, 2, 4 and 6 hours on the day of dosing and once daily thereafter for 14 day. Daily observation was done as far as possible at the same time.Body weights:Individual animal body weights were recorded, before fasting, prior to administration of the test item (fasting body weights), weekly thereafter and at termination on day 14. Weight changes were calculated and recorded.Gross Pathology:Necropsy was performed on all animals at the end of the study period on day 15. Macroscopic examination of all the orifices, cavities and tissues were made and the findings were recorded. All animals surviving the study period were sacrificed by the carbon dioxide asphyxiation technique.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: not classified
Conclusions:
The lethal concentration (LD50) value for acute oral toxicity test was considered to be >2000 mg/kg bw,when female Sprague Dawley rats were treated with test chemical orally via gavage according to OECD Guideline 423 (Acute Oral toxicity - Acute Toxic Class Method).
Executive summary:

The acute oral toxicity profile of test chemical in Sprague Dawley rats according to OECD Guideline 423 (Acute Oral toxicity - Acute Toxic Class Method).Initially, three female animals were treated at the dose level of 300 mg/kg body weight of the test item (Step - I). Administration of the test item at 300 mg/kg did not result in any signs of toxicity and mortality at 24 hours after the dosing. As no mortality was observed at 24 hours after the dosing, three female animals were added to the study and treated with the same dose of 300 mg/kg of the test item (Step - II). Administration of the test item at 300 mg/kg did not result in any signs of toxicity and mortality after the dosing.No mortality was observed at 300 mg/kg dose group, hence additional three female animals were treated with the higher dose of 2000 mg/kg of the test item (Step - I).Administration of the test item at 2000 mg/kg resulted in diarrhoea (reddish colour stools) in all animals with onset at 2 hours and no mortality after the dosing. As no mortality were observed at 24 hours after the dosing, hence additional three female animals were treated with the higher dose of 2000 mg/kg of the test item (Step - II). Administration of the test item at 2000 mg/kg resulted in diarrhoea (reddish colour stools) in all animals with onset at 2 hours and no mortality after the dosing. All animals from 300 mg/kg and 2000 mg/kg dose groups survived through the study period of 14 days. Staining of the stool is attributed to the reddish colour of the test item. Gross pathological examination did not reveal any abnormalities in animals from 300 mg/kg and 2000 mg/kg dose groups.hence, Thelethal concentration (LD50) valuefor acute oral toxicity testwas considered to be >2000mg/kg bw,when female Sprague Dawley rats were treated with test chemical orally via gavage according to OECD Guideline 423 (Acute Oral toxicity - Acute Toxic Class Method).
