Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
oral: gavage
Vehicle:
water
Details on oral exposure:
VEHICLE
- Concentration in vehicle: 500 mg/ml
- Amount of vehicle (if gavage): 10 ml/kg bw

The test substance was weighed out in a glass, then was filled with Aqua destillata up to the desired volume, was shaken well and afterwards labeled. The formulated test substance was a clear solution.
Doses:
5000 mg/kg bw
No. of animals per sex per dose:
5 males and 5 females
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
The group of 5 female and 5 male rats were were given a single oral dose 5000 mg/kg of the test substance by gavage.

- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 d
- Body weights were recorded before treatment (day -1), at the treatment day (day 0), and on days 7 and 14 after treatment
- Clinical observation: Animals were observed 1/4 h, 1/2 h, 1 h, 2 h, 4 h after dosing and thereafter once daily up to day 14.
- Necropsy of the survivors performed: yes
Statistics:
As none of the test animals died a calculation of the LD50 was not possible.

Gross pathology:
Necropsies were performed on all animals at the end of the 14-day observation period. In one animal a slight thickening of the stomach mucosa could be observed. Necropsies of all other animals showed no test compound-related macroscopic findings in the cranial-, thoracic- and abdominal cavity.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The acute oral toxicity of the test material was >5000 mg/kg bw (47% a.i.), equivalent to LD50 > 2350 mg/kg bw (100% a.i.)
Executive summary:

In an acute oral toxicity study similar to OECD Guideline 401 (1981) 5 male and 5 female Sprague-Dawley rats were given a single dose of the substance (a.i. 47 %) at a dose of 5000 mg/kg bw (limit test). The test item was formulated in water and applied in a volume of 10 mL/kg bw. Animals were subsequently observed for 14 consecutive days.There were no deaths following a single oral dose of the substance. Except of ruffled fur on the day of treatment, the animals were free of clinical/ toxicological signs during the entire observation period of 14 days. Necropsies were performed on all animals at the end of the 14-day observation period. In one animal a slight thickening of the stomach mucosa could be observed. Necropsies of all other animals showed no test compound-related macroscopic findings in the cranial-, thoracic- and abdominal cavity.

Oral LD50Combined: > 2350 mg/kg bw (active ingredient)

LD50 > 5000 mg/kg bw determined in the study report refers to the test substance as delivered by the sponsor. Amount of active ingredient in test substance is 47 % according to the sponsor information. Therefore the calculated oral LD50 combined referring to 100 % active substance is 2350 mg/kg bw. The substance is practically nontoxic based on LD50 in males and females.
