Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:

TEST ANIMALS
- Source: Charles River Deutschland, Sulzfeld, Germany
- Age at study initiation: 8-10 weeks
- Weight at study initiation: 147-192 grams
- Fasting period before study: animals were deprived of food overnight prior to dosing and until 3-4 hours after administration of the test item. Water was available ad libitum.
- Housing: group housing of 3 animals per cage in labeled Makrolon cages (MIV type; height 18 cm.) containing sterilized sawdust as bedding material (Lignocel S 8-15, JRS - J.Rettenmaier & Söhne GmbH + CO. KG, Rosenberg, Germany) and paper as cage-enrichment (Enviro-dri, Wm. Lillico & Son (Wonham Mill Ltd), Surrey, United Kingdom).
- Diet (e.g. ad libitum): ad libitum, free access to pelleted rodent diet
- Water (e.g. ad libitum): ad libitum, free access to tap water.
- Acclimation period: at least 5 days before start of treatment under laboratory conditions.


ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 18-24 °C
- Humidity (%): 40-70%
- Air changes (per hr): at least 10
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12/12

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:

oral: gavage

Vehicle:

propylene glycol

Details on oral exposure:

VEHICLE
- Concentration in vehicle: 200 mg/mL
- Amount of vehicle (if gavage): No data
- Justification for choice of vehicle: The vehicle was selected based on trial preparations performed at WIL Research Europe and on test item data supplied by the Sponsor. The vehilce was chosen from: water (Elix) (test item did not dissolve), 1% aq. carboxymethyl cellulose (test item did not dissolve), propylene glycol (spec. gravity 1.036) (turbid solution), polyethylene glycol 400 (spec. gravity 1.125) and corn oil (spec. gravity 0.92).

MAXIMUM DOSE VOLUME APPLIED: 10 mL/kg

DOSAGE PREPARATION:
- The preparations (w/w) were dosed within 4 hours after adding the vehicle to the test item. Homogeneity was assessed by visual inspection of the solutions and the formulations were stirred during dosing, which ensures homogeneity sufficient for these kinds of studies.
- Adjustment was made for specific gravity of the vehicle.
- No correction was made for purity of the test item as the correction factor is 1.

Doses:

2000 mg/kg (single dosage)

No. of animals per sex per dose:

3 females per dose group

Control animals:

no

Details on study design:

- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days (until day 15)
- Frequency of observations and weighing:
mortality/viability: twice daily
body weights: days 1 (pre-administration), 8 and 15
clinical signs: at periodic intervals on the day of dosing (day 1) and once daily thereafter, until day 15. The signs were graded according to fixed scales and the time of onset, degree and duration were recorded:
maximum grade 4: grading slight (1) to very severe (4)
maximum grade 3: grading slight (1) to severe (3)
maximum grade 1: presence is scored (1)
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes, at the end of the observation period, all animals were sacrificed by oxygen/carbon dioxide procedure and subjected to necropsy. Descriptions of all internal macroscopic abnormalities recorded.

Statistics:

No statistical analysis was performed.

Females 2000 mg/kg: 0
Females 2000 mg/kg: 0

Clinical signs:

other: Hunched posture, uncoordinated movements and/or piloerection were noted for the animals between Days 1 and 3.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

The oral LD50 value of T001325 in Wistar rats was established to exceed 2000 mg/kg body weight. According to OECD 423 test guideline, the LD50 cut-off value was considered to exceed 5000 mg/kg body weight.
Based on the results, T001325 does not have to be classified and has no obligatory labelling requirement for acute oral toxicity according to the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and labelling of Chemicals of the United Nations (2011) (including all amendments) and Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 on classification, labelling and packing of substances and mixtures (including all amendments).
