- Mean weight at study initiation: Females: 174.27 g; Males: 203.6 g
- Fasting period before study: 16 to 20 hours (access to water was permitted). Food was provided again approximately 3 hours after dosing.
- Housing: three per sex in Makrolon type-4 cages
- Diet (e.g. ad libitum): Pelleted standard Provimi Kliba 3433 rat/mouse maintenance diet, batch no. 73/01 (Provimi Kliba AG, Kaiseraugst/ Switzerland), ad libitum.
- Water (e.g. ad libitum): Community tap-water, from Itingen ad libitum.
- Acclimation period: 6 days

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
oral: gavage
Vehicle:
polyethylene glycol
Remarks:
PEG 300
Details on oral exposure:
VEHICLE
- Concentration in vehicle: 0.2 g/ml
- Amount of vehicle (if gavage): 10 ml/kg body weight
- Justification for choice of vehicle: The vehicle was chosen after a non-GLP solubility trial performed before experimental starting date.
- Lot/batch no. (if required): 424718/142701

DOSAGE PREPARATION (if unusual): The test item was weighed into a tared glass beaker on a suitable precision balance and the vehicle added (weight:volume). The mixtures were prepared using a glass stick first then a magnetic stirrer.
Homogeneity of the test item in the vehicle was maintained during administration using a magnetic stirrer.
Doses:
2000 mg/kg body weight
No. of animals per sex per dose:
3
Control animals:
not specified
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 15 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing:
Mortality / Viability: Daily during acclimatization and twice daily during days 1-15.
Body weights: On test days 1 (pre-administration), 8 and 15.
Clinical signs: Daily during acclimatization and at least four times on test day 1 after the test item administration. Once daily during days 2-15. All abnormalities were recorded.
- Necropsy: All surviving animals were killed at the end of the observation period and discarded after macroscopic examinations were performed. No organs or tissues were retained.
Statistics:
No statistical analysis was used.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The test material was determined to have an acute oral LD50 >2000 mg/kg bw (in the rat) under the conditions of the test. The substance is not orally toxic.
Executive summary:

In this guideline (OECD 423) study conducted with GLP, the acute oral LD50 of the test material (EC 438-340-0) to rats was determined to be >2000 mg/kg bw (both sexes). The test material was administered via gavage at a dose of 2000 mg/kg bw. The result of the test was not sufficient to trigger classification and labelling of the test material for acute toxicity under the EU Classification, Labelling, and Packaging (CLP) regulation (1272/2008).
