TEST ANIMALS
- Source: Harlan/Winkelmann GmbH, 33178 Borchen, Germany
- Females (if applicable) nulliparous and non-pregnant: yes
- Fasting period before study: 16-24 h
- Age at study initiation: 10-14 weeks
- Weight at study initiation: 165 g - 188 g
- Housing:The animals were group caged conventionally in polycarbonate cages on low dust wood granulate bedding (J. Rettenmaier & Söhne, 73494 Rosenberg, Germany).
- Diet (e.g. ad libitum): The animals received the standard diet “Provimi Kliba 3883.0.15 Maus/Ratte Haltung, Kaiseraugst Switzerland” ad libitum
- Water (e.g. ad libitum): tap water ad libitum
- Acclimation period: at least 5 days
- Method of randomisation in assigning animals to test and control groups: The random list was based on evenly distributed chance numbers by a software application.

Key result
Sex:
female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 2 000 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
Mortality:
no

A dose of 2000 mg/kg was tolerated by females without mortalities, toxicological effects on body weight and body weight gain and gross pathological findings. No clinical signs were observed.

 Dose mg/kg  Toxicological result*  Occurence of signs  Time of death  Mortality (%)
 (1st) 2000  0 / 0 / 3  --  --  0
 (2nd) 2000  0 / 0 / 3 --  --  0

* Number of animals which died spontaneously and/or were sacrificed in moribund state / Number of animals with signs of toxicity / Total number of animals used per group

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
the test item is of low acute oral toxicity
Executive summary:

The acute oral toxicity to female Wistar rats of Oxaphthalimid was assessed. The test compound was formulated in tap water with the aid of 2% Cremophor EL, the administration volume was 10 ml/kg body weight.


According to the OECD guideline 423 the LD50 of Oxaphthalimid in female rats is above 2000 mg/kg (LD50 cut-off 5000 mg/kg).

Additional information

The acute oral toxicity of Oxaphthalimid was studied in female Wistar rats. The single oral administration of 2000 mg/kg was tolerated without any mortality and compound-related clinical or macroscopic pathological signs.

Therefore, the acute oral LD50 cut-off was determined to be >= 5000 mg/kg.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the study results a classification according to Directive 67/548/EEC and Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (CLP) is not required.
