Description of key information

In a GLP-compliant acute toxic class method study (according to OECD Guideline 423) the test substance was administered orally by gavage at doses of 300 and 2000 mg/kg bw to groups of 3 female rats, respectively. One animal died in one of the two 2000 mg/kg bw dose groups. No further adverse effects occurred during the observation period of 14 days. The oral LD50 was therefore determined to be > 2000 mg/kg bw for female rats.

Conclusions:
Under the conditions of this study the median lethal dose of the test substance after oral administration was found to be > 2000 mg/kg bw in rats.
Executive summary:

In an acute oral toxicity study performed according to the Acute Toxic Class Method, doses of 2000 and 300 mg/kg bw of the test item (preparations in corn oil Ph.Eur.) were administered by gavage to three test groups of three fasted Wistar rats each (2000 mg/kg bw in 6 females and 300 mg/kg bw in 3 females).

The following test substance-related clinical observations were recorded, clinical signs occurred within one day after administration:

2000 mg/kg (first test group):

- Mortality in one animal

- Reduced defecation in two animals

- Dyspnoea in one animal

- Staggering in one animal

- Impaired general state in one animal

- Macroscopic pathological findings in the animal that died:

- Dark red spotted discoloration of the liver

2000 mg/kg (second test group):

- No mortality occurred

- No clinical signs were observed

300 mg/kg (single test group):

- No mortality occurred

- No clinical signs were observed.

The body weights of the surviving animals increased within the normal range throughout the study period.

There were no macroscopic pathological findings in any animal sacrificed at the end of observation period (8 females).

The acute oral LD50 was calculated to be: LD50, oral, rat > 2000 mg/kg bw.

Additional information

The following test substance-related clinical observations were recorded, clinical signs occurred within one day after administration:

2000 mg/kg (first test group):

- Reduced defecation in two animals

- Dyspnoea in one animal

- Staggering in one animal

- Impaired general state in one animal

- Macroscopic pathological findings in the animal that died:

- Dark red spotted discoloration of the liver

2000 mg/kg (second test group):

- No mortality occurred

- No clinical signs were observed

300 mg/kg (single test group):

- No mortality occurred

- No clinical signs were observed.

The body weights of the surviving animals increased within the normal range throughout the study period.

There were no macroscopic pathological findings in any animal sacrificed at the end of observation period (8 females).

The acute oral LD50 was calculated to be: LD50, oral, rat > 2000 mg/kg bw.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Classification, Labelling, and Packaging Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008

The available experimental test data are reliable and suitable for classification purposes under Regulation 1272/2008. One out of 6 animals died after oral gavage of 2000 mg/kg bw test substance. No further adverse effects were observed in the acute toxic class method study (according to OECD Guideline 423, GLP-compliant). As a result, the substance is not considered to be classified for acute oral toxicity under Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008, as amended for the thirteenth time in Regulation (EC) No. 2018/1480.
