TEST ANIMALS
Source: CIBA-GEIGY Limited, Animal Production 4332 Stein / Switzerland
Weight at study initiation: 183 to 211 g
Housing: Macrolon cages (type 4), segregated by sex, were group-housed (5 animals per cage). Within the groups the animals were identified with
numbers from 1 to 5 using picric acid stain on the fur. Standardized soft wood bedding (Société Parisienne des sciures, Pantin).
Diet: rat food -NAFAG, Gossau SG -), ad libitum
Water: ad libitum
Acclimatization: at least for 5 days

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
Temperature: 22°C (+/- 2°)
Humidity: 55 (+/- 10) %
Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 11 hours
15 air changes/h.

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
oral: gavage
Vehicle:
water
Details on oral exposure:
One single dose, per os, by gastric intubation (gavage)
Prior to dosing, the animals were fasted overnight
Doses:
Volume: 10 ml/kg body weight
No. of animals per sex per dose:
10, 5 rats (5 male, 5 female)
Details on study design:
OBSERVATION
Observation period 14 days
Mortality
daily; a.m. and p.m. on working days, a.m. on weekend days
Signs and symptoms: daily for 14 days
Body weight: immediately before administration and on days 7 and 14
Necropsies: The animals were submitted to a gross necropsy at the end of the observation period.
Statistics:
From the body weights, the group means and their standard deviations were calculated.

Results and discussion

Effect levels
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 2 000 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
Mortality:
No mortalities occurred in this study. The animals recovered within 3 to 4 days.
Clinical signs:
Piloerection, hunched posture, exophthalmos, and dyspnea were seen, being common symptoms in acute tests. Additionally, diarrhea was observed in all animals.
Gross pathology:
All animals dying spontaneously or being sacrificed (either for humane reasons or at termination of the study) were subjected to a complete necropsy.At necropsy, no deviations from normal morphology were found in all animals.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: not classified
Remarks:
Classification criteria according to the CLP Regulation 1272/2008 and its amendments
Conclusions:
LD50 in male rats: greater than 2000 mg/kg body weight
LD50 in female rats: greater than 2000 mg/kg body weight
LD50 in rats of both sexes: greater than 2000 mg/kg body weight
Executive summary:

The acute oral toxicity was tested on the substance according to OECD 401 and EU B.1. Upon an acute oral administration and a 14 day post-treatment observation period, the following LD50 (with 95% confidence limits calculated, where possible) was determined for the substance:

LD50 in male rats: greater than 2000 mg/kg body weight

LD50 in female rats: greater than 2000 mg/kg body weight

LD50 in rats of both sexes: greater than 2000 mg/kg body weight
