Key result
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 2 000 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
Mortality:
No animal died in the course of the study.
Clinical signs:
other: The administration of 2000 mg/kg bw provoked slight apathy in two females as well as slight diarrhea in one female on application day 1. All animals were without any clinical findings from day 2 onwards.
Gross pathology:
Necropsy revealed no compound-related findings after 2000 mg/kg bw.
Conclusions:
A single oral administration (gavage) of the test substance to male and female rats at the limit-dose 2000 mg/kg bw was tolerated without mortalities, effects on body weight gain and gross pathological findings. Slight apathy in two females as well as slight sialorrhea in one female was seen on application day 1. All animals were without any clinical findings from day 2 onwards. According to OECD TG 423 the oral LD50 of ZK 50992 (epoxide valerate) in male and female rats is therefore > 2000 mg/kg bw.
Executive summary:

In an acute oral toxicity study conducted equivalent to OECD TG 423, groups Wistar rats, female and male (3/sex) were given a single oral dose of Epoxide-Valerate in 0.9 % NaCl + 0.085 % Myrj 53 in bidist. water at a dose of 2000 mg/kg bw and observed for 14 days.


 


Oral LD50 Combined => 2000 mg/kg bw


 


Limit test


No mortality occurred during the test


The administration of 2000 mg/kg bw provoked slight apathy in two females as well as slight diarrhea in one female on application day 1. All animals were without any clinical findings from day 2 onwards. There were no necropsy findings or changes in body weight.


The test item is of low Toxicity based on the LD50 in male and female Wistar rats.

Mortality:
No animal died after administration of 2000 mg/kg bw.
Clinical signs:
other: A single dermal application of 2000 mg/kg was tolerated without compound-related findings.
Gross pathology:
Necropsy revealed no compound-related findings after 2000 mg/kg bw.
Conclusions:
A single dermal administration of the test substance to male and female rats at the limit-dose 2000 mg/kg was tolerated without mortalities, compound-related clinical findings, effects on body weight gain and gross pathological findings. According to OECD TG 402 the dermal LD50 of the test item in male and female rats is therefore > 2000 mg/kg bw.
Executive summary:

In an acute dermal toxicity study according to OECD TG 402 (adopted 24 February 1987), groups of young adult Wistar rats (3/sex) were dermally exposed to Epoxide-Valerate in physiological saline for 24 hours at a dose 2000 mg/kg bw. Animals then were observed for 14 days.


 


Dermal LD50 Combined = > 2000 mg/kg bw


 


No mortality occurred during the limit test.


The test item is of low Toxicity based on the combined LD50 value of > 2000 mg/kg bw.
