Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
oral: gavage
Vehicle:
polyethylene glycol
Remarks:
(PEG 300)
Details on oral exposure:
DOSAGE PREPARATION:
The test article was placed into a glass beaker on a tared Mettler PM 460 balance and the vehicle (polyethylene glycol, PEG 300) was added. A weight by volume dilution was prepared using a magnetic stirrer and an ultrasonic water bath as homogenizers. Homogeneity of the test article in the vehicle was maintained during the treatment.
The preparation was made shortly before each dosing.

MAXIMUM DOSE VOLUME APPLIED: 10 mL



Doses:
2000 mg/kg bw
No. of animals per sex per dose:
3 males / 3 females
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing:
mortality: one, two, trhee and five hours after test article administration on test day 1 and twice daily during days 2 - 15.
body weights: on test days 1 (pre-administration), 8 and 15
Clinical signs: each animal was examined for changes in appearance and behaviour four times during day 1, and once daily for suriving animals during days 2 -15. All abnormalities were recorded.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes, at the end of the observation period all animals were sacrificed and examined macroscopically. All abnormalities were recorded.
Statistics:
No statistical analysis was used.

Results and discussion

Effect levels
Key result
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
2 000 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
Mortality:
No deaths occurred during the study.
Clinical signs:
Slight dyspnea was observed in one male animal treated with 2000 mg/kg bw from 3 to 5 hours after the administration. No clinical signs were observed during the observation period in all other animals.
Body weight:
One female animal showed a slight loss of body weight (1.7 %) between test day 8 and 15. The body weight of the other animals was within the range commonly recorded for animals of this strain and age.
Gross pathology:
No macroscopic findings were observed at necropsy.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
LD50 (rats) > 2000 mg/kg bw
According to the Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 and subsequent adaptations, the substance is not acutely toxic via the oral route.
