Administration / exposure

Route of administration:

oral: gavage

Vehicle:

polyethylene glycol

Remarks:

VEHICLE The following information was provided by RCC Ltd: Identification Polyethylene glycol 300 (PEG 300) Description Colorless viscous liquid Lot number 448174/1 21203148 Source FLUKA Chemie GmbH, CH-9471 Buchs Stability of vehicle Stable under storage

Details on oral exposure:

Two groups, each of three female HanBrl: WIST (SPF) rats, were treated with TOSYLFURANOSID by oral gavage administration at a dosage of 2000 mg/kg body weight. The test item was diluted in vehicle (PEG 300) at a concentration of 0.2 g/mL and adminis-tered at a volume dosage of 10 mL/kg.

Doses:

2000 mg/kg body weight. The test item was diluted in vehicle (PEG 300) at a concentration of 0.2 g/mL and administered at a volume dosage of 10 mL/kg.

No. of animals per sex per dose:

Two groups, each of three female HanBrl: WIST (SPF) rats, were treated with TOSYLFURANOSID by oral gavage administration at a dosage of 2000 mg/kg body weight

Details on study design:

The animals were examined daily during the acclimatization period and mortality, viability and clinical signs were recorded. All animals were examined for clinical signs at approximately 1, 2, 3 and 5 hours after treatment on day 1 and once daily during test days 2-15. Mortality/viability was recorded twice daily during test days 1-15. Body weights were re-corded on day 1 (prior to administration) and on days 8 and 15. All animals were necropsied and examined macroscopically.

Statistics:

No statistical analysis was used.

Results and discussion

Preliminary study:

Two groups, each of three female HanBrl: WIST (SPF) rats, were treated with TOSYLFURANOSID by oral gavage administration at a dosage of 2000 mg/kg body weight. The test item was diluted in vehicle (PEG 300) at a concentration of 0.2 g/mL and adminis-tered at a volume dosage of 10 mL/kg.
The animals were examined daily during the acclimatization period and mortality, viability and clinical signs were recorded. All animals were examined for clinical signs at approximately 1, 2, 3 and 5 hours after treatment on day 1 and once daily during test days 2-15. Mortality/viability was recorded twice daily during test days 1-15. Body weights were re-corded on day 1 (prior to administration) and on days 8 and 15. All animals were necropsied and examined macroscopically.
All animals survived until the end of the study period.
No clinical signs were observed during the course of the study.
The body weight of the animals was within the range commonly recorded for this strain and age.
No macroscopic findings were recorded at necropsy.
The median lethal dose of TOSYLFURANOSID after single oral administration to female rats, observed over a period of 14 days is:
LD50 (female rat): greater than 2000 mg/kg body weight

Executive summary:

Two groups, each of three female HanBrl: WIST (SPF) rats, were treated with TOSYLFURANOSID by oral gavage administration at a dosage of 2000 mg/kg body weight. The test item was diluted in vehicle (PEG 300) at a concentration of 0.2 g/mL and adminis-tered at a volume dosage of 10 mL/kg.
