Administration / exposure
- Route of administration:
- oral: gavage
- Vehicle:
- arachis oil

- Sex:
- female
- Dose descriptor:
- LD50
- Effect level:
- >= 2 000 mg/kg bw
- Based on:
- test mat.
- Mortality:
- no
- Clinical signs:
- no signs of systemic toxicity
clinical observations were made 30 min, 1, 2 and 4 hours after dosing and then daily for 14 days. Morbidity and mortality checks were made twice daily. - Body weight:
- expected gains
individuel body weight were recorded day 0 (day of dosing), day 7 and day 14 - Other findings:
- no abnormalities were noted at necropsy
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- The acute oral median lethal dose LD50 of the test item in the female Wistar strain rat was estimated to be greater than 2000 mg/kg body weight. The test item does not meet the criteria for classification according to EC 1272/2008.
- Executive summary:
Introduction
The study was performed to assess the acute oral toxicityofthe test item in the Wistar strain rat.
Methods
Following a sighting test at a dose level of 2000mg/kg, an additional four fasted female animals were given a single oral doseoftest item,as a suspension in arachis oil BP, at a dose level of 2000mg/kg body weight. Clinical signs and body weight development were monitored during the study. All animals were subjected to gross necropsy.
Results
Mortality.
There were no deaths.
Clinical Observations.There were no signs of systemic toxicity.
Body Weight.
All animals showed expected gains in body weight.
Necropsy.
No abnormalities were noted at necropsy.
Conclusion
The acute oral median lethal dose(LD50)ofthe test item in the female Wistar strain rat was estimated to be greater than 2000mg/kg body weight (Globally Harmonized Classification System-Unclassified).
The test item does not meet the criteria for classification according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, relating to the Classification, Labelling and PackagingofSubstances and Mixtures
