Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
oral: gavage
Vehicle:
other: sesame oil (Oleum sesami DAB 10)
Details on oral exposure:
The acute oral toxicity of T-9601 was tested only at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg body weight.
The animals received the compound as a 20 % suspension in sesame oil (Oleum sesami DAB 10), the administration volume being 10 ml/kg body weight.
If no compound-related mortality is produced in this limit test according to the guidelines no full study has to be carried out.
Doses:
2000 mg/kg body weight
No. of animals per sex per dose:
Males - 5
Females - 5
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: Observations twice daily (in the morning and in the afternoon), on weekends and public holidays only once. uring this time animals were weighed weekly.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Based on the results obtained in this study the median lethal dose value (LD50) of the substance for the male & female rat is greater than 2000 mg/kg body weight.
Executive summary:

Study data conducted to EEC-Guideline B.1 of the Directive 92/68/EEC and OECD Guidleines for Testing of Chemicals 401 in compliance with GLP.

The median lethal dose value (LD50) of the substance for the male & female rat is greater than 2000 mg/kg body weight. The substance is not classified as harmful by oral exposure.
