- Sprague-Dawley
- Sex:
- male/female
- Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
- TEST ANIMALS
- Source: Sprague-Dawley Albino rats breeded by commericial supplier
- Age at study initiation: not stated. OECD TG 401 required use healthy young adult animals
- Veterinary preliminary examination: without morbid signs; females were nulliparous and non-pregnant
- Body Weight (bw) at study initiation: female bw 203g (range: 194-211g); male bw 206g (range: 188-237g).
- Body Weight (bw) variation: females 95-103% the mean bw; males 91-115% the mean bw (< ±20% bw variation)
- Fasting period before study: overnight before the day of administration
- Housing: Housed individually in Macrolon cages (area 800 cm2, height 17 cm)
- Diet: commerical diet, twice 8g daily
- Water: ad libitum
- Acclimation period: 5 days prior to the administration
ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 19 – 23 ºC
- Humidity (%): 30 - 70%
- Air changes (per hr): not stated
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12:12
Administration / exposure
- Route of administration:
- oral: gavage
- Vehicle:
- unchanged (no vehicle)
- Details on oral exposure:
- VEHICLE
- Concentration in vehicle: undiluted
- Amount of vehicle (if gavage): not stated
- Purity: not stated
MAXIMUM DOSE VOLUME APPLIED: not stated; the test material was administered undiluted - Doses:
- The test substance was orally administrated as a single dose to four groups. The dose ranges were: Group I 1429 mg/kg bw; Group II 2000 mg/kg bw; Group III 2800 mg/kg bw; and Group IV 3920 mg/kg bw. Doses are expressed as weight (mg) per unit weight of the test animal (kg bw).
- No. of animals per sex per dose:
- Group I (1429 mg/kg bw) 5 females (n=5)
Group II (2000 mg/kg bw) 5 females and 5 males (n=10)
Group III (2800 mg/kg bw) 5 females and 5 males (n=10)
Group IV (3920 mg/kg bw) 5 males (n=5) - Control animals:
- no
- Details on study design:
- - Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: two observations on the day of administration (5 minutes and 4 hours), followed by daily observations
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes
- Judgement: mortality, LD50, body weight, behaviour, toxicological symptoms and pathological examination
- Other examinations performed: clinical signs (apathy, feed refusal, ruffled fur, motor activity, body rigidity, hunched posture) , body weight and histopathology. - Statistics:
- As the dose-response relationship was non-linear the LD50 value was not quantifiable according to the Litchfield and Wilxocon (1949) or Shayne and Weil (1984) methods, as 50% mortality was not observed. The LD50 was stated as >2000 mg/kg bw.
Results and discussion
Effect levels
- Key result
- Sex:
- male/female
- Dose descriptor:
- approximate LD50
- Effect level:
- > 2 000 mg/kg bw
- Based on:
- test mat.
- Mortality:
- The LD50 value was unquantifiable due to the non-linear dose relationship of the mortality observed. The authors suggested that the mortality rate is greater than 2000 mg/kg bw.
- Clinical signs:
- other: Acute toxicological symptoms were observed in 3 rats dosed with 1429 mg/kg bw, in 3 rats dosed with 2000 mg/kg bw and in all rats dosed with the higher dose groups (2800 mg/kg bw and 3920 mg/kg bw).
- Gross pathology:
- No macroscopical organ changes were detected in the pathological examination of any dose groups (1429, 2000, 2800 or 3920 mg/kg bw).

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- The oral LD50 value is greater than 2000 mg/kg bw. There was no evidence of intrinsic acute oral toxicity requiring classification or substance specific risk mitigation measures (RMM).
- Executive summary:
Sprague-Dawley rats were exposed to a single dose of the test item via oral gavage at 1429 mg/kg bw (n=5), 2000 mg/kg bw (n=10), 2800 mg/kg bw (n=10) and 3920 mg/kg bw (n=5). Acute toxicological symptoms attributed to the test item were observed in 3/5 rats dosed with 1429 mg/kg bw, 3/10 rats receiving 2000 mg/kg bw and in all rats dosed with >2800 mg/kg bw (15/15). No macroscopic organ changes were detected in pathological examinations post-mortem. Fifty percent mortality was not observed at any tested dose level, consequently, the LD50 value was not quantifiable according to the statistical methods of Litchfield & Wilcoxon (1949) or Shayne & Weil (1984). The authors suggested a value >2000 mg/kg bw.
