Specific details on test material used for the study:

TREATMENT OF TEST MATERIAL PRIOR TO TESTING
The required amount of the test substance was weighed by an electronic balance and placed in a tube. A small amount of vehicle 1, DMSO (20% final DMSO concentration), was added and mixed using a vortex mixer until dissolved. Vehicle 2, corn oil, was added to yield the desired concentrations (30 and 200 mg/mL). All preparations were conducted just prior to use.

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:

oral: gavage

Vehicle:

other: Vehicle 1: Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) Vehicle 2: Corn oil

Details on oral exposure:

VEHICLE 1: Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO)
- Justification for choice of vehicle: the vehicle was chosen because it has no toxic effect on the test system under condition of this study
- Lot/batch no. (if required): Sigma Aldrich, lot no. SHBC1370V (expiry date: 13 June 2022)

VEHICLE 2: Corn oil
- Justification for choice of vehicle: the vehicle was chosen because it has no toxic effect on the test system under the condition of this study and the test substance dissolved in vehicle 1 was suspended in this vehicle 2.
- Lot/batch no. (if required): Sigma Aldrich, lot no. MKBW9504V (expiry date: 15 November 2021)

MAXIMUM DOSE VOLUME APPLIED: 10 mL/kg bw

CLASS METHOD (if applicable)
- Rationale for the selection of the starting dose: The starting dose level for this study was selected as 300 mg/kg bw because there was not any available toxicity information on the test substance.

Doses:

300, 2000 mg/kg bw

No. of animals per sex per dose:

3 females per step, 2 steps

Control animals:

no

Details on study design:

- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations: All animals were observed for mortality, general condition and clinical signs (type, severity, time of onset and recovery) for 30 minutes after dosing and at 1, 2, 4 and 6 hours after dosing on the day of dosing (day 0) and once daily thereafter for 14 days (Day 1 to Day 14).
- Frequency of weighing: The animals were weighed on day 0 (prior to the administration), on days 1, 3 and 7 and on the day of the necropsy (day 14)
- Necropsy of survivors performed: On day 14, all surviving animals were anesthetized with CO2 gas and exsanguinated from the caudal vena cava and abdominal aorta. Complete gross postmortem examinations were performed on all animals in the study. Since no gross findings were observed at necropsy, histopathological examinations were not performed.

Statistics:

Statistical analysis was not performed. Mean scores and values were presented.

Effect levels

Key result

Sex:

female

Dose descriptor:

LD50 cut-off

Effect level:

500 mg/kg bw

Based on:

test mat.

Remarks on result:

other: at the limit dose of 2000 mg/kg bw all animals died.

Mortality:

All animals survived the duration of the study at 300 mg/kg bw. Three animals at 2000 mg/kg bw died on Day 1 after dosing.

Clinical signs:

other: During the observation period, dirty nose and soild perineal region were evident on Day 2, 3 and 4 after dosing at 300 mg/kg bw. Weakening and soft stool were evident in one animal 6 hours after dosing to 2000 mg/kg bw. All animals were found dead in pron

Gross pathology:

At necropsy, no treatment-related macroscopic findings were observed in any animal in either step.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

Category 4 based on GHS criteria

Conclusions:

In an acute oral toxicity study in rats conducted according to OECD 423, no mortality occurred at a dose of 300 mg/kg bw. At the limit dose of 2000 mg/kg bw all animals died. Based on the results and in accordance with OECD guideline 423 the LD50 cut-off value was determined to be 500 mg/kg bw. Thus, the substance meets the criteria of the CLP regulation 1272/2008 for being classified as Acute Tox. 4, H302.

Executive summary:

In an acute oral toxicity study (acute toxic class method, OECD 423), three groups of fasted, 8 - 9 weeks old, female Sprague-Dawley rats (3 rats/step) were given a single oral dose of the test item (94.5 % purity) in corn oil at 300 (step 1 and 2) or 2000 mg/kg bw (step 3) and were observed for 14 days. All animals treated with 300 mg/kg bw survived until the end of the study and showed only mild signs of toxicity. All three animals dosed with 2000 mg/kg bw died. At necropsy, no treatment-related macroscopic findings were observed in any animal of any step. Based on the results and in accordance with OECD guideline 423 the LD50 cut-off value was determined to be 500 mg/kg bw. Thus, the substance meets the criteria of the CLP regulation 1272/2008 for being classified as Acute Tox. 4, H302.
