Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

other: Not classified

Remarks:

Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU

Conclusions:

No deaths were seen in five rats (mixed sex) given a single oral administration of undiluted Santicizer 261 at 15.8 g/kg bw.

Executive summary:

Undiluted Santicizer 261 was orally administered to two male and three female Sprague-Dawley rats at 15.8 g/kg bw. The animals were assessed for toxic symptoms, and the survivors sacrificed 14 days after dosing and examined macroscopically.

All five animals survived the 14-day observation period. Reduced appetite and activity were seen for one to two days (numbers of animals not given). At necropsy, the viscera of all animals appeared normal. The investigators concluded that the LD50 was greater than 15.8 g/kg bw. Under the EU CLP regulations, this study would indicate that Santicizer 261 is not classified for acute oral toxicity.
