other: water with 0.5 % Tylose CB 30.000

Details on oral exposure:

VEHICLE
- Concentration in vehicle: 0.25 g/100 ml and 2 g/100 ml
- Amount of vehicle (if gavage): 10 ml/kg
- Justification for choice of vehicle: aqueous formulation corresponds to the physiological medium

MAXIMUM DOSE VOLUME APPLIED: 10 ml/kg

CLASS METHOD (if applicable)

Doses:

25 mg/kg, 200 mg/kg

No. of animals per sex per dose:

3 males and 3 females at 25 mg/kg, 3 females at 200 mg/kg

Control animals:

not specified

Details on study design:

- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing:
• Body weight determination: Individual body weights shortly before application (day 0), weekly thereafter and at the end of the study (before fasting period); additionally animals that died or were sacrificed moribund.
• Signs and symptoms: Recording of signs and symptoms several times on the day of administration, at least once each workday for the individual animals.
• Mortality: A check for any dead or moribund animal was made twice each workday and once on saturdays, sundays and on public holidays.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes
- Other examinations performed: clinical signs

Statistics:

No statistics was performed

Results and discussion

Effect levels

Sex:

male/female

Dose descriptor:

LD50

Effect level:

> 25 - < 200 mg/kg bw

Mortality:

0/3 males and 0/3 females died at 25 mg/kg, 2/3 females died at 200 mg/kg

Clinical signs:

no clinical signs were observed at 25 mg/kg, at 200 mg/kg the following clinical signs were observed: impaired general state (1/3), poor general general state (3/3), dyspnoea (3/3), abdominal position (3/3), anemic pallor (3/3), cyanosis (3/3), piloerection (1/1), discoloured urine (1/1) within 3 hours

Body weight:

males 25 mg/kg mean: day 0: 182 g, day 7: 262 g, day 13: 294 g
females 25 mg/kg mean: day 0: 180 g, day 7: 211 g, day 13: 225 g
females 200 mg/kg mean: day 0: 175 g, day 7: 202 g, day 13: 226 g

Gross pathology:

females at 200 mg/kg that died: Cyanosis, surviving female at 200 mg/kg: organs without particular findings
males and females at 25 mg/kg: organs without particular findings
