Endpoint:

Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:

Study period:

Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
test procedure in accordance with national standard methods with acceptable restrictions
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
other: usual manner
Principles of method if other than guideline:
The test substance is administered orally by gavage in graduated doses to several groups of experimental animals for 5 days, one dose being used per group. Subsequently observations of effects and deaths are made after 24 hours, 2 days, 3 days, 4 days, 5 days followed by an post observation period of 10 days (= 15 days after the first dosage).

Effect level:

Mortality:
24 hours after the first administration:
8000 mg/kg bw: 10/10 dead
4000 mg/kg bw: 0/10
2000 mg/kg bw: 0/10
1000 mg/kg bw: 0/10

Clinical signs:
other: sedation, hypoventilation
Gross pathology:
not examined

Although the LD50 value was calculated from a study with repeated administration (5 days), taken the mortality data 24 hours after the first administration, this value allows for a reliable assessment of the acute oral toxicity. The LD50 value is still above 2000 mg/kg bw even if the dosage was extented over five days (post observation period: 10 days).

Executive summary:

The tests were carried out in the usual manner (oral, gavage), 10 animals per dosage group. The lethal doses were determined by the computer method developed by Dr S. Wolf. The LD 10, LD 50, and LD 90 are calculated on the basis of the mortality data reported 24 hours after administration of a single dose. the LD 50 value for the test substance was reported to be > 2000 mg/kg bw.

Executive summary:

The tests were carried out in the usual manner (oral, gavage), using 10 mice per dosage group. The lethal doses were determined by the computer method developed by Dr S. Wolf. The LD 10, LD 50, and LD 90 are stated for observation period of 24 h and 10 days. The LD 50 value for the test substance was reported to be 8500 (+- 670) mg/kg bw.

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:

Additional information

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the study results for acute oral toxicity no classification according to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (CLP), ANNEX I, is warranted.
