Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
oral: gavage
Vehicle:
water
Details on oral exposure:
A peroral administration was performed once in the morning by stomach intubation using a metal gavage.
The dose volume was 20 mL per kg body weight. The individual dose volumes were calculated using the body weights determined on the day of the administration.
Doses:
300 and 2000 mg/kg bw. See below.
No. of animals per sex per dose:
3 rats per step.
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
The sequence of dosing of the test substance was:
Step 1: 300 mg/kg bw.
Step 2: 300 mg/kg bw.
Step 3: 2000 mg/kg bw.
Step 4: 2000 mg/kg bw.
Statistics:
No.

Based on:
test mat.
Mortality:
Mortality: All animals survived until the scheduled termination of the study.
Clinical signs:
Observations in life. The findings, with an onset shortly after the administration and lasting until 6 h p.a. were:
Signs of reduced well-being. This term encompasses unspecific alterations, like sedation, apathy, piloerection, hunched posture or closed eyes, in single or multiple occurrence.
Body weight:
Body weights: All animals gained weight in both weeks p.a.

Necropsy findings: No abnormal findings were made in all animals at the necropsy 14 d p.a.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
practically nontoxic
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
No severe toxic effects of the test substance were noted by signs in life and post mortem at a dose of 2000 mg test substance per kg body weight. No mortality occurred.
Executive summary:

The acute toxic class (ATC) method according to the EU- and OECD-guidelines was applied to investigate the acute oral toxicity of MPI-ACA in rats.

No severe toxic effects of the test substance were noted by signs in life and post mortem at a dose of 2000 mg test substance per kg body weight. No mortality occurred. The oral LD50 was determined to >2000 mg/kg body weight.
