MAXIMUM DOSE VOLUME APPLIED: 5 mL/kg bw

CLASS METHOD
- Rationale for the selection of the starting dose: Due to the low expected toxicity of the test substance 2000 mg/kg bw was selected as the starting dose.
Doses:
2000 mg/kg bw (step 1)
300 mg/kg bw (step 2 and 3)
No. of animals per sex per dose:
6 (300 mg/kg bw); 3 (2000 mg/kg bw)
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: Animals were observed 30 min and 1, 2, 4 and 6 h after dosing and thereafter once daily for 14 days. Individual body weights were recorded prior to dosing on Day 0 and on Days 1, 3, 7 and on the day of necropsy, Day 14. The body weights of animals found dead during the observation period were recorded prior to necropsy.

- Other examinations performed: Histopathological examination was performed on animals with gross findings in the thoracic cavity, stomach and/or liver at 2000 mg/kg bw.
Key result
Sex:
female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
500 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
Remarks on result:
other: LD50 cut-off according to OECD 423
Mortality:
All animals dosed at 2000 mg/kg were found dead on Days 1, 2 and 3 after dosing, respectively.
No mortality was observed at 300 mg/kg bw.
Clinical signs:
Salivation and/or lacrimation were observed in two animals at 2000 mg/kg bw from 0.5 and 1 h after dosing. Abnormal gait, salivation, staining around mouth, decrease in locomotor activity, decrease of fecal volume and/or lacrimation were observed on Days 1, 2 and 3 after dosing. Three animals were found dead in a state of lying on side, dorsal position, prone position or staining around mouth on Days 1, 2 and 3 after dosing, respectively. These clinical signs were considered to be test substance-related.
During the observation period, no clinical abnormalities were observed in any animal at 300 mg/kg bw.
Body weight:
A tendency to suppressed body weight gain was observed in two animals at 2000 mg/kg bw on Day 1. These changes were considered to be test substance-related.
Normal body weight gains were observed in all animals at 300 mg/kg bw.
Gross pathology:
Macroscopic examination of dead animals revealed gross findings in the thoracic cavity, stomach and/or liver.
No grossly visible evidence of morphological abnormalities was observed in any animal at 300 mg/kg bw.
Other findings:
- Histopathology: Histopathological examination of the liver revealed granular and eosinophilic hepatocellular degeneration, single cell necrosis of hepatocytes and perivenular mononuclear cell infiltration. These findings showed centrilobular distribution. In the forestomach, epithelial necrosis with submucosal hemorrhage and edema were observed. The hepatic and gastric findings were considered to be associated with gross findings in the liver and forestomach, respectively. These necropsy findings were considered to be test substance-related.
Interpretation of results:
other: Acute Tox. Cat. 4
Remarks:
according to Regulation (EC) 1272/2008
Conclusions:
In this acute oral toxicity study in rats a LD50 cut-off value of 500 mg/kg bw was found.
Executive summary:

Three animals dosed at 2000 mg/kg died on Days 1, 2 and 3 after dosing.

There were no deaths of any of the six animals at 300 mg/kg. No test substance-related effects were observed in clinical signs, body weight data or necropsy findings in any animal at 300 mg/kg.

Based on the result of the acute oral toxicity study in Sprague-Dawley rats the test item was classified to be Category 4

The LD50 cut-off is 500 mg/kg bw.

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
adverse effect observed
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Value:
500 mg/kg bw
Quality of whole database:

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed
Quality of whole database:
The available information comprises an adequate and reliable study (Klimisch score 2). This study is not a standard information requirement set out in Annex VII of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 and is thus considered as additional information.

Additional information

Oral

The acute oral toxicity of the test substance was assessed in a study according to OECD Guideline 423 and in compliance with GLP (2016). In this acute oral toxicity study in rats a LD50 cut-off value of 500 mg/kg bw was found.

Dermal

The acute dermal toxicity of the test substance was assessed in a study according to OECD Guideline 402 and in compliance with GLP (1985). In this acute dermal toxicity study a LD50 value > 5000 mg/kg bw in male and female rats was found.

Justification for classification or non-classification

The available data on acute oral toxicity of the test substance meet the criteria for Acute Tox. Cat. 4 (H302) according to Regulation (EC) 1272/2008.

The available data on acute dermal toxicity do not meet the criteria for classification according to Regulation (EC) 1272/2008, and are therefore conclusive but not sufficient for classification.
