Test animals

Species:
rat
Strain:
other: Carworth Wistar
Sex:
male
Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
Weight at study initiation: 90 -120g
Fasting period before study: No fasting

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
oral: gavage
Vehicle:
not specified
Details on oral exposure:
VEHICLE
Concentration in vehicle: 3250 mg/kg
Amount of vehicle (if gavage): 1 ml to 10 ml

CLASS METHOD (if applicable)
Rationale for the selection of the starting dose:
Doses were given in a logarithmic series differing by a factor of 2.

Doses:
3250 mg/kg bw
No. of animals per sex per dose:
5 male
Control animals:
not specified
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
Statistics:
The most probable LD50 value and its fiducial range are estimated by the method of Thompson, using the Tables of Weil. The figures in parentheses show limits of ± 1.96 standard deviations while the absence of parentheses indicates that no range is calculable because no dosage resulted in fractional mortality

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 5 based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
LD50 was considered to be 3250 mg/kg bw when Carworth Wistar male rat were treated with 3'-Nitroacetophenone orally by gavage
Executive summary:

In a Acute oral toxicity study, 5 Carworth Wistar male rats were treated with 3'-Nitroacetophenone in the concentration of 3250 mg/kg bw orally by gavage and observed for 14 days. 50 % mortality was observed in treated rats at 3250 mg/kg bw after 14 days. Therefore, LD50 was considered to be 3250 mg/kg bw when Carworth Wistar male rat were treated with 3'-Nitroacetophenone orally by gavage.
