IN-LIFE DATES: Not clarified in the study report

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:

oral: gavage

Vehicle:

arachis oil

Remarks:

Arachis oil BP used for 300 mg/kg bw dose only

Details on oral exposure:

VEHICLE
- Concentration in vehicle: 30 mg/mL
- Amount of vehicle (if gavage): 10 mL/kg total
- Justification for choice of vehicle: Arachic oil was used because the test item did not dissolve/suspend in distilled water
- Lot/batch no. (if required): n/d
- Purity: n/d

MAXIMUM DOSE VOLUME APPLIED: 10 mL/kg bw (300 mg/kg bw) and 2.24 mL/kg bw (2000 mg/kg bw)

DOSAGE PREPARATION (if unusual): applied unchanged

CLASS METHOD (if applicable) - a fixed dose procedure was used
- Rationale for the selection of the starting dose: In the absence of data regarding toxicity of the test item, 300 mg/kg bw was chosen as the start dose for one female. In the absence of effects at this dose level a further female was tested at 2000 mg/kg bw. As not effects were found here a further 4 females were tested at the maximum guideline required concentration of 2000 mg/kg bw. This is in accordance with the OECD 420 (2001).

Doses:

300, 2000 mg/kg

No. of animals per sex per dose:

5

Control animals:

no

Details on study design:

- Each animal was given single dose of 10 mL/kg dose volume of 2000 mg/kg of the test item of 30 mg/mL concentration.
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: 0.5, 1, 2 and 4 hours after dosing then daily thereafter until day 14 post-dose.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes
- Other examinations performed: clinical signs and body weight

Key result

Sex:

female

Dose descriptor:

LD50

Effect level:

>= 2 000 mg/kg bw

Based on:

test mat.

Remarks on result:

not determinable due to absence of adverse toxic effects

Mortality:

No deaths reported

Clinical signs:

There were no signs of systemic toxicity noted during the course of the study with excepttion of hunched posture was noted within four hours post dosing in animals treated at a dose level of 300 mg/kg and four animal treated at 2000 mg/kg.

Body weight:

All animals showed expected weight gain. The animal dosed at 300 mg/kg bw gained 16 g in the first week and 11 g in the second week (27 g total). The animals dosed at 200 mg/kg bw gained 16 g in the first week and 11 g in the second week (27 g total).

Gross pathology:

No abnormality noted at necropsy

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

The acute oral median lethal dose (LD50) of the test item in the female Wistar strain rat was estimated to be greater than 2000 mg/kg body weight (Globally Harmonized Classification System - Unclassified).

Executive summary:

OECD 420 (2018) - In an acute oral toxicity study, a group of fasted, 8-12 week old female Wistar rats were given a single oral dose of test item at a single dose rate of 2000 mg/kg bw (limit test) and observed for 14 days. A sighting study in line with the guideline with 1 animal dosed at 300 mg/kg bw was also conducted.

In the absence of mortality during the observation period, the oral LD₅₀ was estimated to be greater than 2000 mg/kg bw.

In addition, there were no treatment related clinical signs, necropsy findings or changes in body weight observed in any of the individuals.
