Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
oral: gavage
Vehicle:
arachis oil
Details on oral exposure:
VEHICLE
- Concentration in vehicle: 200 mg/mL
- Justification for choice of vehicle: Test item did not dissolve/suspend in distilled water

MAXIMUM DOSE VOLUME APPLIED: 10 ml/kg bw

CLASS METHOD (if applicable)
- Rationale for the selection of the starting dose: based on available information on toxicity of the test item
Doses:
2000 mg/kg bw
No. of animals per sex per dose:
5 (females)
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: morbidity/mortality: twice daily, early and late, during normal working days, once daily at weekends. Clinical observations half an hour and 1,2, and 4 hours after dosing, then daily for 14 days. Individual bodyweights recorded on day 0 (prior to dosing), day 7, and 14.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes
- Other examinations performed: no
Statistics:
not relevant

Results and discussion

Preliminary study:
Prior to the main test, a sighting test was performed in which 1 female rat was dosed 2000 mg/kg bw). Based on the absence of mortality, 4 additional animals were dosed with 2000 mg/kg bw.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: Not classified
Remarks:
Based on CLP criteria
Conclusions:
In an acute oral toxicity study which was performed according to guideline OECD420 (fixed-dose procedure) and under GLP conditions, the acute oral toxicity potential of Standolized Soybean Oil was investigated. The acute oral median lethal dose (LD50) of test item in the female Wistar strain rat was observed to be greater than 2000 mg/kg bw, under the conditions of this study. The substance therefore does not need to be classified according to the classification criteria outlined in Annex VI of 67/548/EEC and Annex I of 1272/2008/EC.
Executive summary:

In an acute oral toxicity study which was performed according to guideline OECD420 (fixed-dose procedure) and under GLP conditions, the acute oral toxicity potential of Standolized Soybean Oil was investigated. Following a sighting test at a dose level of 2000mg/kg bw, an additional four fasted female animals were administered a single oral dose of Standolized Soybean Oil as a solution in arachis oil BP, at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg bw. Clinical signs and bodyweight development were monitored during the study. All animals were subjected to gross necropsy.

No mortality was noted and no signs of systemic toxicity were observed. Furthermore, no abnormalities were noted at necropsy. The oral LD50 of the test item in the female Wistar strain rat was estimated to be greater than 2000 mg/kg bw, under the conditions of this study. The substance therefore does not need to be classified according to the classification criteria outlined in Annex VI of 67/548/EEC and Annex I of 1272/2008/EC.
