Test animals

Species:

rat

Strain:

Sprague-Dawley

Sex:

male/female

Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:

Male and female young adult Sprague Dawley rats used in this study were obtained from Charles River Laboratories, Inc. (Portage, Michiganand Raleigh, North Carolina). The animals were individually housed in suspended stainless steel cages in an environment-controlled room with a 12-h light/dark cycle. Agway Prolab rodent feed and water were provided to each animal ad libitum. The rats were individually identified using metal ear tags and cage cards. All animals were allowed to acclimate to the laboratory environment for a minimum of 5 d prior to dosing.

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:

oral: gavage

Vehicle:

corn oil

Details on oral exposure:

The test substance was ground and passed through a 40 mesh sieve prior to mixing with Mazola Corn Oil at a 25% w/v concentration. The dose volume administered was varied to achieve the designated mg/kg treatment levels.

Doses:

100, 500, 1000 and 1500 mg/kg bw

No. of animals per sex per dose:

5/dose (males) for 100 and 1500 mg/kg/ bw and 5/sex/dose for 500 and 1000 mg/kg/ bw

Control animals:

no

Details on study design:

All animals were fasted overnight prior to dose administration. The animals were observed frequently on the day of dosing and once daily thereafter for the duration of the study (Day 15). Mortality checks were performed twice daily. Individual body weights were determined and recorded on Days -1, 1, 8 and 15, or at death. All animals were subjected to a gross necropsy examination at the time of sacrifice (CO2, asphyxiation) or death.

Statistics:

LD50 values and 95% confidence intervals were calculated using the method of Litchfield and Wilcoxon.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

Category 4 based on GHS criteria

Conclusions:

Under the test conditions, the acute oral LD50 of MON 13900 for male and females rats was calculated to be 521 and 1,250 mg/kg bw respectively. The combined LD50 for both the sexes was calculated to be 869 mg/kg bw.

Executive summary:

A study was performed to assess theacute oral toxicityof MON 13900 in SD rat according to the EPA OPP 81-1 Guideline in compliance with GLP. Group of rats (5/dose for lowest and the highest dose and 5/sex/dose for the middle doses) were administered the test substance at 100, 500, 1,000 and 1,500 mg/kg bw.

A variety of adverse clinical signs were noted, including decreased fecal output, reddish coloured urine, urine stains, decreased activity, tremors, breathing abnormalities, piloerection and apparent hypothermia. The majority of these signs occurred during Days 1-5. All surviving animals exhibited body weight gains during the test period. The most notable necropsy observations occurred in the animals which died and consisted of abnormalities of the digestive tract and thymus.

Under the test conditions, the acute oral LD50 of the test substance for male and females rats was calculated to be 521 and 1,250 mg/kg bw respectively. The combined LD50 for both the sexes was calculated to be 869 mg/kg bw.
