The animals were observed for 14 d after the day of dosing and were then killed and subjected to gross pathological examination. The animals showed stilted gait, squatting posture, decreased spontaneous activity and orange colored feces. One day after administration the animals were free of clinical symptoms. No deaths occurred within the observation period. Development of body weight was not impaired. No abnormalities were noted at necropsy.

Additional information

Oral

A study was conducted to assess the acute oral toxicity of test substance in Wistar rats according OECD guideline 401 and EU Method B.1.

Following a range-finding study, a group of 10 fasted rats (five males and five females) were given a single oral dose of the test substance as a 20 % suspension in deionized water, at a dose level of 2,000 mg/kg. The animals were observed for 14 d after the day of dosing and were then killed and subjected to gross pathological examination. The animals showed stilted gait, squatting posture, decreased spontaneous activity and orange colored feces. One day after administration the animals were free of clinical symptoms. No deaths occurred within the observation period. Development of body weight was not impaired. No abnormalities were noted at necropsy.

The acute oral LD50 of the test substance was found to be >2,000 mg/kg in Wistar rats (Dr. Jensch U, 1997).

Dermal

A study was conducted to assess the acute dermal toxicity of test substance in Wistar rats according OECD guideline 402 and EU Method B.3.

Following a range-finding study, a group of 10 rats (five males and five females) were applied 0.5 g of test substance moistened with 0.7 mL deionised water, at a dose level of 2,000 mg/kg. Following the 24 h exposure period, animals were observed for mortality, skin response and general behavior for 14 d and were then killed and subjected to gross pathological examination.

Neither deaths nor symptoms occurred in the study. Development of body weight was not impaired. The skin of the animals was sporadically discolored light orange up to Day 8 of the study.The animals killed at the end of the observation period showed no macroscopically visible changes.

The acute dermal LD50 of the test substance was found to be >2,000 mg/kg in Wistar rats (Dr. Jensch U, 1997).

The available data for test substance indicates a low potential for acute oral (LD50 >2,000 mg/kg bw) and dermal toxicity (LD50 >2,000 mg/kg bw) and does not meet the requirement for classification according to EC criteria (67/548/EEC) and according to CLP criteria (EC 1272/2008).
