Results and discussion

Effect levels

Dose descriptor:
other: NOAEL (general toxicity)
Effect level:
ca. 1 000 mg/kg bw/day (actual dose received)
Sex:
male/female
Basis for effect level:
other: the treatment related slight discolorations are due to the staining property of the test item

Remarks:
Daily oral treatment of rats with Nigrosin WLF at doses of 0, 100, 300, 1000 mg/kg b.w./day b.w. for a period of 4 weeks resulted in some black or grey green discolorations of feces/some tissues (predominantly in the lymph nodes, and less frequently in the intestine and/or Peyer's patch). All discolorations were considered to be due to the staining properties of the test item, except in small intestinal villi or other lymph nodes, which were not considered to be clearly test substance-related. In view of the very limited degree of changes, and as any indication of structural change or functional impairment of the organs concerned was lacking, they were considered to be non-adverse.
Dose descriptor:
other: NOAEL (reproductive organs)
Effect level:
ca. 1 000 mg/kg bw/day (actual dose received)
Sex:
male/female
Basis for effect level:
other: no adverse effects observed

Observed effects

For general toxicity see section 7.5.1 repeated dose toxicity: oral
For reproductive organs.
No adverse effects observed

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Executive summary:

100, 300 and 1000 mg/kg bw/day Nigrosin WLF dissolved in tap water, was administered orally by gavage to 5 male and 5 female Wistar rats per dose group for a period of 4 weeks according to OECD TG 407 and GLP in which also the effects on reproductive organs are examined.. For general toxicity see ther respective section of repeated dose toxicity. With regard to the reproductive organs no adverse effects are observed . Therefore, the NOAEL (reproductive toxicity) is considered 1000 mg/kg bw/day
