TEST ANIMALS
- Specie: Rattus norvegicus.
- Source: TECAM Animal Facility (S. Roque, SP).
- Age at study initiation: young adult rats 8 - 10 weeks old.
- Variation in weight: not greater than 20 % of the mean weight.
- Housing: 3 animals per cage.
- Diet: pelleted commercial diet (Biobase Biotec), ad libitum. Feed is analysed by testing laboratory periodically for microbiological contaminants
- Water: filtered water, ad libitum.
- Fasting period before study: animals were fasted approxirnately 14 hours prior to the test substance administration. Animals returned to ad Iibitum feeding apprornmately 3 hours after dosing.
- Acclimatization period: 5 days prior to dosing in a controlled room.
- Selection: animals exhibiting abnormal signs during the acclimatization period were not used for the study.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature: 20 - 23 °C
- Humidity: 62 %
- Photoperiod: 12 hours cycle dark/light

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
oral: gavage
Vehicle:
water
Remarks:
deionized
Details on oral exposure:
Rationale for the selection of the starting dose: as test substance was suspected not to be toxic, 2000 mgkg bw was the selected dose for starting. The time interval between treatment groups was determined by the onset, duration and severity of toxic signs.
Doses:
2000 mg/kg bw
No. of animals per sex per dose:
Two groups of 3 females
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days.
- Frequency of observations and weighing: body weights were recorded shortly before administration, weekly thereafter and at the end of the study. Animals were observed individually after dosing during the first 24 hours with special attention given during the first 4 hours (day 1).
- Necropsy of survivors performed: at the end of 14 days, carbon dioxide was used for euthanasia of the animals. Gross pathology examination was performed for 100 % of the animals. Necropsy findings were registered for the intestinal tract (duodenum, jejunum, ileum, cecum) and the major organs such as liver, kidney, heart, spleen, Iymph nodes, respiratory tract (lungs, trachea, bronchi, diaphragm), thyroid, oesophgus, stomach, pancreas, muscles, bladder, uteus and gonads. After examination, animals were wrapped and disposed as a special residue of the Municipal Health Service.
- Other examinations performed: sign and symptoms were recorded at least once each workday for individual animals. A check for dead or moribund animals were made once at least once each workday and once on Saturdays, Sundays and on public holidays. Clinical observations included possible changes in skin and fur, eyes and mucous membranes, dyspnoea, changes in the behaviour, tremors, convulsions, salivation, diarrhea, prostration, coma and death.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: not classified, according to the CLP Regulation (EC 1272/2008)
Conclusions:
LD50 > 2000 mg/kg bw
Executive summary:

The study was carried out to assess acute toxicity following a single oral administration to rats of the test substance according to the OECD guideline 423. Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus) were selected and maintained under controlled environmental conditions. Based on individual body weight, dosing of the test substance was calculated in mg/kg body weight (bw). Two groups of three female rats received 2000 mg/kg bw. Animals were observed for 14 days.

At the end of this period, no mortality or signs of evident toxicity were observed. Gross pathology examination was performed on all tested animals. No macroscopic alterations were observed in any of the major organs of the examined animals. Under the test conditions, the LD50 was found to be greater than 2000 mg/kg bw. Therefore, the test substance is not acutely toxic via the oral route.

Conclusion

LD50 > 2000 mg/kg bw
