Constituent 1
Test animals
- Species:
- rat
- Strain:
- Wistar
- Sex:
- female
- Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
- TEST ANIMALS
- Source: RCC Ltd Laboratory Animal Services, Wölferstrasse 4, CH-4414 Füllinsdorf, Switzerland
- Reasons for selection of the test species: Rats were selected since this rodent species is recommended in the respective test guidelines. Wistar rats were selected since there is extensive experience available in the Iaboratory with this strain of rats
- Age and weight at study initiation: 8-12 weeks, 172-182 g
- Sex: As suggested by the OECD guideline nulliparous and nonpregnant female animais were used for the test, because there is no indication that male animais are Iikely to be more sensitive to the acute effects of the test substance
- Identification: Individual identification by cage cards and tail marking
- Fasting period before study: 16 hours
- Housing: single housing in stainless steel wire mesh cages, type DK-III (Becker&Co., Castrop-Rauxel, FRG)
- Diet: Kliba-Labordiät (Maus / Ratte Haltung "GLP"), Provimi Kliba SA, Kaiseraugst, Basel, Switzerland, ad libitum

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 20-24;
- Humidity (%): 30-70;
- Air changes (per hr): fully air-conditioned;

Administration / exposure
- Route of administration:
- oral: gavage
- Vehicle:
- olive oil

- VEHICLE
- Olive oil Ph.Eur./DAB
- Concentration in vehicle: 1 or 6 g/100mL;
- Amount of vehicle (if gavage): 5 mL/kg;
- Justification for choice of vehicle: Inhomogeneous in aqueous preparations;
DOSAGE PREPARATION:
The test substance preparation was produced for each administration group shortly before administration by stirring with a magnetic stirrer.
ANALYTICAL VERIFICATION:
- Correctness of the concentration of the test substance in the test preparation was confirmed by analysis (once, in the first preparation for the 300 mg/kg bw group).
- Stability of the test substance in the vehicle was confirmed indirectly by analysis of the correctness of the concentration.
- The test substance preparation was visually homogeneous (solution). - Doses:
- 50 and 300 mg/kg
- No. of animals per sex per dose:
- 6
- Control animals:
- no
- Details on study design:
- - Route of administration: Single oral administration by gavage.
- Fasting period: Feed was withdrawn from the animals at least 16 hours before administration, but water was available ad libitum.
- Time of day of administration: In the morning.
- Observation period: At least 14 days.
- Body weight determination: Individual body weights shortly before administration (day 0), weekly thereafter and at the end of the study. Additionally, at day of death in animals that died starting with study day 1.
- Signs and symptoms: Recording of signs and symptoms several times on the day of administration, at least once each workday for the individual animals; these records are maintained with the raw data.
- Mortality: A check for any dead or moribund animal was made twice each workday and once on Saturdays, Sundays and on public holidays.
- Pathology: Necropsy with gross-pathology examination on the last day of the observation period after killing by CO2-inhalation. Necropsy of all animals that died before as early as possible after death.
Results and discussion
Effect levels
- Sex:
- female
- Dose descriptor:
- LD50
- Effect level:
- ca. 300 mg/kg bw
- Based on:
- test mat.
- Mortality:
- One animal of the first 300 mg/kg administration group and two animals of the second 300 mg/kg administration group were found dead on study day 1, respectively. No mortality occurred in the 50 mg/kg administration groups.
- Clinical signs:
- other: Clinical observation in the 300 mg/kg administration groups revealed impaired and poor general state, dyspnoea, staggering, ataxia, rolling convulsions, opisthotonus, extention spasm, tonic convulsions, piloerection, smeared fur, diarrhea, salivation, lac
- Gross pathology:
- The following macroscopic pathologic findings were observed in the animals that died (dose group 300 mg/kg (3 females)): a few black erosions/ulcers in the glandular stomach (diameter up to 5 mm) and a black discoloration of the contents in the small intestine.
The following macroscopic pathologic abnormality was noted in the surviving animal of the second 300 mg/kg administration group: a few black erosions/ulcers in the glandular stomach (diameter 2 mm).
No macroscopic pathologic abnormalities were noted in the animals of the 50 mg/kg administration groups (6 females) and in 2 animals of the first 300 mg/kg administration group examined at termination of the study. - Other findings:
- lmmunohistochemistry for tyrosine hydroxylase (specific marker to reveal dopaminergic neurons and their synaptic end terminals) of all animals of the first 300 mg/kg administration group and of the two animals that died of the second 300 mg/kg administration group revealed a slight decrease of staining intensity in the corpus striatum of forebrain sections indicating the possibility of a diminished dopamine content in this target location of dopaminergic neurons. Further pathological changes (e.g. necrotic neurons) were not detected in this first and limited, morphological examination of two brain levels.
