IN-LIFE DATES: From: 12 April 2012 to 11 May 2012

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:

oral: gavage

Vehicle:

unchanged (no vehicle)

Details on oral exposure:

GAVAGE METHOD: plastic feeding tubes.

Frequency: single dosage, on Day 1.

MAXIMUM DOSE VOLUME APPLIED: 2000 mg/kg (10 mL/kg) body weight.
Dose volume calculated as dose level (g/kg) / density (g/mL).

DOSAGE PREPARATION: The test substance was dosed undiluted as delivered by the sponsor. No correction for purity was made

CLASS METHOD (if applicable)
- Rationale for the selection of the starting dose: Based on anticipated mortality at the next higher dose.

Doses:

1000 mg/kg body weight
2000 mg/kg body weight

No. of animals per sex per dose:

1000 mg/kg: 6 (2 groups of three females in a stepwise manner)
2000 mg/kg: 3

Control animals:

yes

Details on study design:

The toxicity of the test substance was assessed by stepwise treatment of groups of 3 females. The first group was treated at a dose level of 1000 mg/kg. The absence or presence of mortality of animals dosed at one step determined the next step, based on the test procedure defined in the guidelines. The onset, duration and severity of the signs of toxicity were taken into account for determination of the time interval between the dose groups. A concurrent control group was added to the first two treated groups. Thereafter no concurrent control was added.

- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing:
Mortality/Viability: Twice daily. The time of death was recorded as precisely as possible.
Body weights: Days 1 (pre-administration), 8 and 15 and at death (if found dead after Day 1).
Clinical signs: At periodic intervals on the day of dosing (Day 1) and once daily thereafter, until Day 15.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: on Day 15
- Other examinations performed: bloodsampling on Day 5 and 15 (red blood cell count, reticutolcyte count, hemoglobin level and met-hemoglobin level, organ weights (spleen, kidney and liver) at necropsy, hostopathological examination of the spleen

Statistics:

No statistical analysis was performed (The method used is not intended to allow the calculation of a precise LD50 value).

Results and discussion

Effect levels

Sex:

female

Dose descriptor:

LD50

Effect level:

> 1 141 - < 2 282 mg/kg bw

Based on:

test mat.

Remarks on result:

other: (read-across from an analogue for which LD50 was 1000-2000 mg/kg bw)

Mortality:

No mortality occurred at 1000 mg/kg and control groups. Two females at 2000 mg/kg (2/3) were found dead on Days 1 or 4.

Clinical signs:

other: No clinical signs were noted in the control animals. Animals at 1000 mg/kg showed lethargy, hunched posture, uncoordinated movements, piloerection, ptosis, slow breathing, and/or watery discharge from the eye on Day 1. Animals at 2000 mg/kg showed lethar

Gross pathology:

Necropsy did not reveal any toxicologically relevant alterations.
A control animal showed pelvic dilation and black nodules in the liver, which are considered incidental findings not related to the test substance. One animal at 2000 mg/kg showed advanced autolysis and the skin of the left region of the head was missing due to cannibalism.

Other findings:

The animals at 1000 mg/kg showed lower red blood cell counts in combination with higher percentage of reticulocytes, compared to the control animals, on Day 5 and 15. A lower level of total hemoglobin was noted on Day 5, which recovered on Day 15. The slight higher met-hemoglobin levels on Day 5 and/or 15 (as compared to the controls) are within the range to be expected for rats of this age and strain.
The surviving animal treated at 2000 mg/kg showed comparable trends in all four parameters.

Liver, spleen and kidney weights of treated animals were considered to be similar to those of control animals.

There were no treatment-related findings in the spleens of the 1000 mg/kg treated rats.
No direct cause of death at 2000 mg/kg could be established from the examined sections of the spleen.
There was a treatment related microscopic finding in the 2000 mg/kg treated rats. Atrophy of the white and red pulp of the spleen was noted at minimal degree in the one surviving female and at moderate degree in one female (found dead on Day 4).
The remainder of the recorded microscopic findings in the spleen were all within the normal range of background alterations encountered in rats of this age and strain and therefore not regarded as test article related.

Any other information on results incl. tables

The data matrix is included in the reporting format attached in Section 13.

The results from the read-across approach are expressed (calculated) on the basis of the molecular weight of OS9600 and OS2600 since the basic structures of the target and source substances are the same.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

Toxicity Category IV

Remarks:

Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU

Conclusions:

Based on the read-across approach from the analogue OS2600, the oral LD50 for OS9600 was determined to be between 1141 and 2282 mg/kg bw .

Executive summary:

The acute oral toxicity study was performed on the analogue OS2600 in accordance with OECD Guideline 423 and EU Method B1 tris (GLP study). Initially, 1000 mg/kg bw test item was administered by oral gavage to 3 female Wistar rats. In a stepwise procedure additional groups of females were dosed at 1000 and 2000 mg/kg body weight. Concurrent control groups were added in the first two treatment groups. All animals were subjected to daily observations and weekly determination of body weight. Blood samples were taken from all surviving animals on Day 5 and prior to necropsy. Macroscopic examination was performed on the day of death or after terminal sacrifice (Day 15). Histopathology examination was performed on the spleen. No mortality occurred at 1000 mg/kg and control groups. Two females at 2000 mg/kg (2/3) were found dead on Days 1 or 4 and therefore, the oral LD50 value of OS 2600 in Wistar rats was established to be within the range of 1000-2000 mg/kg body weight. Haematology parameters were affected by treatment at a dose level of 1000 mg/kg, and the same trend was noted at 2000 mg/kg. The following findings were included: lower red blood cell count, higher reticulocyte percentage and lower haemoglobin levels. These findings were not accompanied by treatment related morphological changes in the spleen at 1000 mg/kg. Two animals at 2000 mg/kg (one surviving and one which died on Day 4) showed atrophy of the white and red pulp of the spleen at microscopic examination. Based on these results, the read-across was applied and the oral LD50 for OS9600 was determined to be between 1141 and 2282 mg/kg bw.
