Dose Group I : 300 mg/kg
Dose Group II : 2000 mg/kg

No. of animals per sex per dose:

Total No. of animals : 12
Three females were used at each step.

Control animals:

not specified

Details on study design:

- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: Twice daily
- Necropsy of survivors performed: Yes
- Other examinations performed: Clinical Observations and General Appearance: Animals were observed for clinical signs, mortality and morbidity, until sacrifice.
Onset, duration and severity of any sign were recorded. The clinical signs and mortality observations were conducted at immediately (0 to 5 minutes), 5, 10, 30, 60 minutes, 2, 4 and 6 hours on the day of dosing and once daily thereafter for 14 day. Daily observation was done as far as possible at the same time.
The observations were included general clinical signs, observations of eyes, mucous membranes, respiratory, circulatory system and behavior pattern.

Body weights: Individual animal body weights were recorded, before fasting, prior to administration of the test item (fasting body weights), weekly thereafter and at termination on day 14. Weight changes were calculated and recorded.

Gross Pathology: Necropsy was performed on all animals, found dead and sacrificed at the end of the study. Macroscopic examination of all the orifices, cavities and tissues were made and the findings were recorded. All animals surviving the study period were sacrificed by the carbon dioxide asphyxiation technique (day 15).

Histopathology: No gross abnormalities were observed in animals sacrificed terminally hence, no histopathology was performed.

Group II Step I : Animals treated at the dose level of 2000 mg/kg body weight resulted in reduced locomotor activity, ataxic gait and tremors with onset at 30 minutes to 4 hours after the dosing.

Body weight:

Group I Step I (300 mg/kg) - Percent body weight gain after 7 days and 14 days was found to be 6.77% and 15.38% respectively.
Group I Step II (300 mg/kg) - Percent body weight gain after 7 days and 14 days was found to be 7.17% and 16.38% respectively.
Group II Step I (2000 mg/kg) - All animals died within 6 hours, hence, body weight gain could not be calculated.

Gross pathology:

Gross pathological examination did not reveal any abnormalities in animals from 300 mg/kg and 2000 mg/kg dose groups.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

Category 4 based on GHS criteria

Conclusions:

Under the condition of the study, the acute oral LD50 value of the given test chemical was considered in the range of >300-2000 mg/kg body weight. Thus, it was concluded that the acute toxicity study of test chemical, when administered via oral route in Sprague Dawley rats falls into the “Category 4 (300 ≤ 2000)” criteria of CLP.

Executive summary:

The reported study was designed and conducted to determine the acute oral toxicity profile of the given test chemical as per OECD Guideline 423 (Acute Oral toxicity - Acute Toxic Class Method) in Sprague Dawley rats.

Initially, three female animals were treated at the dose level of 300 mg/kg body weight of the test item (Step - I). Administration of the test item at 300 mg/kg did not result in any signs of toxicity and mortality at 24 hours after the dosing. As no mortality was observed at 24 hours after the dosing, three female animals were added to the study and treated with the same dose of 300 mg/kg of the test item (Step - II). Administration of the test item at 300 mg/kg did not result in any signs of toxicity and mortality after the dosing.

No mortality was observed at 300 mg/kg dose group, hence additional three female animals were treated with the higher dose of 2000 mg/kg of the test item (Step - I). Administration of the test item at 2000 mg/kg resulted in reduced locomotor activity, ataxic gait and tremors with onset at 30 minutes to 4 hours after the dosing. One animal died at 4 hours and two animals died at 6 hours after the dosing. All animals from 300 mg/kg dose group survived and exhibited normal body weight gain through the study period of 14 days. Gross pathological examination did not reveal any abnormalities in animals from 300 mg/kg and 2000 mg/kg dose groups.

Under the condition of the study, the acute oral LD50 value of the given test chemical was considered in the range of >300-2000 mg/kg body weight. Thus, it was concluded that the acute toxicity study of test chemical, when administered via oral route in Sprague Dawley rats falls into the “Category 4 (300 ≤ 2000)” criteria of CLP.
