Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 401 (Acute Oral Toxicity)
Deviations:
yes
Remarks:
no data for single animals, body weight not recorded.
Principles of method if other than guideline:
20 young adult rats were used in this study to determine the range of toxicity. The material was administered to ether-sedated fasted animals as a suspension in DMSO/corn oil (50/50) heated to 50 °C. Controls were given DMSO/corn oil (50/50) only. The dose was given intragastrically with a ball-tipped needle and syringe. After treatment, all animals were observed daily for 30 days for aberrant physiological and behavioral responses
GLP compliance:
no
Test type:
fixed dose procedure
Limit test:
yes

Species:
rat
Strain:
Sprague-Dawley
Sex:
male
Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
TEST ANIMALS
- Age at study initiation: 67 days
- Weight at study initiation: 250 - 270 g
- Fasting period before study: Yes

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
oral: gavage
Vehicle:
other: DMSO/corn oil (50/50)
Details on oral exposure:
VEHICLE
- Concentration in vehicle: 500 mg/mL
- Justification for choice of vehicle: Insoluble in water

DOSAGE PREPARATION (if unusual): 5 g of test material were dissolved in 5 mL of DMS0 at 50 °C. This solution was diluted with 5 mL of corn oil, which formed a suspension of the test substance in the liquid medium. This suspension was kept at 50 °C until administration was completed.

CLASS METHOD (if applicable)
- Rationale for the selection of the starting dose: Preliminary study
Doses:
5 g/kg
No. of animals per sex per dose:
10
Control animals:
yes
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 30 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: No data
- Necropsy of survivors performed: No data
- Other examinations performed: aberrant physiological and behavioral responses

Results and discussion

Preliminary study:
Because the LD50 was greater than 5 g/kg, the material was considered to be nontoxic.
