- Mortality:
- No males dosed at 0, 10, 20, or 40 mg/kg bw or females dosed at 10 or 20 mg/kg bw were found dead throughout the fourteen-day observation period. Three males dosed at 80 mg/kg bw were found dead on Day 2. One female dosed at 0 mg/kg, one dosed at 40 mg/kg bw, and all ten females dosed at 80 mg/kg bw were found dead on or before Day 2. The LD50 for the males was estimated to be greater than 80 mg/kg of body weight, and the LD50 for the females was estimated to be greater than 40 mg/kg of body weight but less than 80 mg/kg of body weight.

- other body weight observations
- Gross pathology:
- No observable gross pathology was noted in most rats which were not found dead during the observation period. Findings noted in two surviving 40 mg/kg bw females and one 10 mg/kg bw male included bright red lungs, dark red areas in the lungs, and dark red lungs. Findings noted in rats found dead during the fourteen-day period included dark red or bright red lungs, slightly reddened stomach lining, thin or thickened stomach walls, feed and gas in the stomach, dark or pale liver, and reddish-yellow material, air, brownish-yellow fluid, and/or yellowish fluid in the intestines.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- Category 3 based on GHS criteria
- Conclusions:
- The acute oral LD50 of the test item in the rat was found to be >80 mg/kg bw (males) and 40-80 mg/kg bw (females) under the conditions of this study.
- Executive summary:
In a acute oral toxicity study similar to OECD 401, Fischer 344 rats (10/sex/group) were gavaged with the test item dissolved in corn oil at dose levels of 0, 10, 20, 40 or 80 mg/kg bw and observed for 14 days. Deaths occurred within 24 hours of administration at 40 (1F) and 80 mg/kg bw (3M, 10F); one control animal also died as a result of mis-dosing. Signs of toxicity (soft faeces, depression, rough coat, urine staining, red staining of the eyes and nose) were observed in all treated groups; findings had generally resolved by 24-48 hours following dosing but persisted to Day 7-9 in individual animals at 40 and 80 mg/kg bw. With the exception of two females at 40 mg/kg bw animals are reported to have gained weight over the study period, however actual values are not reported. Gross necropsy did not reveal any treatment-related findings in survivors. Dark/bright red lungs, slightly reddened stomach lining, thin or thickened stomach walls, dark or pale liver and discoloured gastrointestinal tract contents were noted in decedents.
The acute oral LD50 of the test item in the rat was found to be >80 mg/kg bw (males) and 40-80 mg/kg bw (females) under the conditions of this study.
