Constituent 1
Test animals
- Species:
- rat
- Strain:
- Wistar
- Sex:
- male
- Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
- - Young adult animals with a comparable weight were used.
- Acclimatization for at least 1 week.
- One animal per cage (type: stainless steel wire mesh cages, type DK-III).
- The animals were housed in fully air-conditioned rooms. Central air-conditioning guaranteed a range of 20 - 24°C for temperature and of 30 - 70% for relative humidity. The day/night rhythm was 12 h light and 12 h darkness.
- Individual animal identification using cage cards and group identification by tail marking.
- The animals were offered a standardized animal laboratory diet as well as tap water ad libitum. The animals were given no feed at least 16 hours bef ore administration, but water was available ad libitum.
Administration / exposure
- Route of administration:
- oral: gavage
- Vehicle:
- olive oil
- Details on oral exposure:
- Good solubility in olive oil DAB 10.
Form of administration: solution
Concentrations used: 4 or 40 g/100 ml
Application volume: 5 ml/kg - Doses:
- 200 and 2000 mg/kg
- No. of animals per sex per dose:
- 3 males (200 and 2000 mg/kg); 3 females (200 mg/kg)
- Control animals:
- no
- Details on study design:
- Observation period: 200 mg/kg - 14 days; 2000 mg/kg - 2 days
Individual body weight determination shortly before administration (day 0), weekly thereafter and at the end of the study (before fasting period).
Recording of signs and symptoms several times on the day of administration, at least once each workday for the individual animals.
A check for any dead or moribund animal was made twice each workday and once on Saturdays, Sundays and on public holidays.
Necropsy at the last day of the observation period. Withdrawal of food at least 16 hours before sacrifice with CO2; then necropsy with gross pathology examination. Necropsy of all animals that died before as early as possible.
