Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
oral: gavage
Vehicle:
other: corn oil
Details on oral exposure:
The test article was suspended in vehicule (corn oil) at a concentration of 0.2 mg/L and administered at a volume of 10 ml/Kg.
Doses:
2000mg/Kg BW
No. of animals per sex per dose:
1 dose per animal per sex
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
The animals were examined for clinical signs four times during day 1 and once daily during days 2 - 15.
Mortality/viability were recorded together with clinical signs at the same time intervals. Body weights were recorded on day 1 prior to administration and days 8 and 15. All animals were necropsied and examined macroscopically.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The mean lethal dose of Amberketal after single oral administration to rats of both sexes observed over a period of 14 days , could not be estimated as no death poccured
LD50 > 2000 mg/Kg BW
Executive summary:

A group of five male and female rats was treated with Amberketal at 2000 mg/Kg by oral gavage accoridng to the OECD guideline No. 401.

The test article was suspended in vehicule (corn oil) at a concentration of 0.2 mg/L and administered at a volume of 10 ml/Kg.

The animals were examined for clinical signs four times during day 1 and once daily during days 2 - 15.

Mortality/viability were recorded together with clinical signs at the same time intervals. Body weights were recorded on day 1 prior to administration and days 8 and 15. All animals were necropsied and examined macroscopically.

No deaths occurred during the study.

No clinical signs of toxicity were observed during the observation period

The body weight of animals was within the range of physiological variability known for rats of this strain and age

No macroscopic organ findings were observed at necropsy.

The mean lethal dose of Amberketal after single oral administration to rats of both sexes observed over a period of 14 days , could not be estimated as no death poccured

LD50 > 2000 mg/Kg BW
