TEST ANIMALS
- Source: Kleintierfarm Mauderin AG, 4414 Fuellingsdorf, Switzerland
- Age at study initiation: approximately 9 weeks
- Weight at study initiation: 154 - 192 g (males); 153 - 168 g (females)
- Fasting period before study: overnight
- Housing: Macrolon cages (type 3) in groups of five
- Diet: peletted standard Kliba 24/343/1 rat maintenance diet (Klingentalmuehle AG, 4303 Kaiseraugst, Switzerland); ad libitum
- Water: tap water; quality according to Schweiz Lebensmittelbuch; ad libitum
- Acclimation period: 7 days


ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 22 ± 2
- Humidity (%): 55 ± 10
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12/12
- Room air conditioned
Route of administration:
oral: gavage
Vehicle:
other: 2 % aqueous solution of carboxymethylcellulose, sodium salt
Details on oral exposure:
VEHICLE
- a dilution of the test compound was prepared using a homogenizer (Ultra-Turrax) and kept homogenous during treatment using a magnetic stirrer
- Application volume: 10 mL/kg bw at 1000 mg/kg bw; 20 mL at 5000 mg/kg bw
Doses:
1000 mg/kg bw
5000 mg/kg/bw
No. of animals per sex per dose:
5 males and 5 females per dose
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations: five times at day 1; daily during days 2 - 14
- Frequency of weighing: on test days 1, 7 and 14
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes
Key result
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 5 000 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
Remarks on result:
other: no animals died within the 14 day observation period
Mortality:
no deaths occurred during the study
Clinical signs:
other: slightly developed effects were observed in both sexes: sedation and exophthalmos on day 1; dyspnoea and curved body position until day 5 and ruffled fur until day 10.
Gross pathology:
animals killed at the end of the observation period showed no macroscopically visible changes
Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The test substance was administered orally to Wistar rats of both sexes at doses of 1000 mg/kg bw and 5000 mg/kg bw. No deaths were observed during the 14 day observation period, resulting in a LD50 > 5000 mg/kg bw.
Executive summary:

Male and female rats were subjected to test acute oral toxicity according to OECD TG 401. The test item was administered at dose leves of 1000 mg/kg bw and 5000 mg/kg bw to 5 male and 5 female rats respectively. During the 14 days observation period no animals died and there were no ab normalities found in necropsy, thus leading to an LD50 > 5000 mg/kg bw.

Therefore, the test item has not to be classified for acute oral toxicity according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
