Results and discussion

Effect levelsopen allclose all
Sex:
female
Dose descriptor:
LD0
Effect level:
>= 2 000 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
Sex:
female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 2 000 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
Mortality:
no mortality at a limit dose of 2000 mg/kg bw.
Body weight:
A higher body weight gain was noted in the treated animals within the 14 days post treatment compared to the historical control group.
Other findings:
In the first hours of the test after treatment:
- decrease in spontaneous activity (6/6)
- decrease in muscle tone (1/6)
- increased salivation (2/6)
- increased lacrymation (1/6)
- piloerection (2/6)

The animals recovered a normal behaviour at 24 hours post-dose.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Executive summary:

Initiator 94 was administred to 6 female Sprague Dawley rats at a single dose of 2000 mg/kg bw. via gavage according to OECD 423/ B.1tris (EC) regulation No. 440/2008 under GLP. No mortality occured during the study. Macroscopic examination of the animals at the end of the study did not reveal treatment releated changes in comparison to historic controls.

LD0/LD50 is higher than 2000 mg/kg bw.
