female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 2 000 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
Mortality:
No mortality occurred.
Clinical signs:
other: Hunched posture, piloerection, uncoordinated movements, pale skin and/or pale appearance were noted for the animals between Days 1 and 13.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The oral LD50 value of the substance in Wistar rats was established to exceed 2000 mg/kg body weight.
Executive summary:

The potential toxicity of the substance, when given by oral gavage at a single dose of 2000 mg/kg bw to female Wistar rats was determined in an in vivo according to OECD No.423 (2001) "Acute Oral Toxicity, Acute Toxic Class Method". No mortality occurred. Hunched posture, piloerection, uncoordinated movements, pale skin and/or pale appearance were noted for the animals between Days 1 and 13. Body weight loss was noted for three animals on Day 8; these animals regained weight during the second week. The body weight gain shown by the other three animals over the study period was considered to be similar to that expected of normal untreated animals of the same age and strain. No abnormalities were found at macroscopic post mortem examination of the animals. The oral LD50 value of the substance in Wistar rats was established to exceed 2000 mg/kg body weight.
