Administration / exposure
- Route of administration:

- CMC (carboxymethyl cellulose)
- Details on exposure:
- The test substance was dosed orally to male rats for 46 days including pre-mating and mating period, and to female rats from day 14 before mating to day 3 of lactation.
The test substance was administered into the stomach by gavage at a volume of 10 ml/kg bw. - Details on mating procedure:
- According to OECD Guideline 421, 1:1 (one male to one female) matings were used. The female was placed with the same male until pregnancy occured or two weeks had elapsed. Each morning the females were examined for the presence of sperm or a vaginal plug. Day 0 of pregnancy was defined as the day a vaginal plug or sperm was found.

Results and discussion

General toxicity (P0)
- Clinical signs:
- no effects observed

- A blue coloration of faeces was noted in all animals of the groups receiving 40 mg/kg bw/day or more; moreover blue-green or grayish blue discolorations of the contents of the stomach and intestines were noted in a few animals of the 200 mg/kg bw/day group and in almost all animals of both sexes in the 1000 mg/kg bw/day group. These changes were due to the color of the test substance.
