TEST ANIMALS
- Source: RCC Ltd Biotechnology and Animal Breeding Division CH-4414 Fullinsdorf / Switzerland
- Age at study initiation: 9-11 weeks
- Weight at study initiation: not mentioned
- fastened for 16-20h, access to water
- Housing: During acclimatization in groups of five per sex in Makrolon type-4 cages with standard softwood bedding. Individually in Makrolon type-3 cages with standard softwood bedding ("Lignocel", Schill AG, CH- 4132 Muttenz) during treatment and observation.
- Diet (e.g. ad libitum): maintenance diet (Provimi Kliba AG, CH-4303 Kaiseraugst/ Switzerland) ad libitum. The females received from the 24-OCT-2001 until the 30-OCT-2001 batch no. 73/01, then to the end of the study batch no. 74/01. The male rats received batch no. 74/01. Results of analyses for contaminants are archived at RCC Ltd, Itingen.
- Water (e.g. ad libitum): Community tap-water, from Itingen ad libitum. Results of bacteriological, chemical and contaminant analyses are archived at RCC Ltd, Itingen.
- Acclimation period: Under laboratory conditions, after health examination. Only animals without any visible signs of illness were used for the study.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The median lethal dose after single dermal administration to rats of both sexes, observed over a period of 14 days is:
LD50 (rat): greater than 2000 mg/kg body weight
Executive summary:

A group of five male and five female HanBrl: WIST (SPF) rats was treated with the test item at 2000 mg/kg by dermal application. The test item was diluted in vehicle (corn oil) at a concentration of 0.5 g/ml and administered at a volume of 4 ml/kg. The animals were examined for clinical signs four times during test day 1 and once daily during test days 2-15. Mortality/viability was recorded together with clinical signs at the same time intervals on test day 1. During test days 2-15 it was recorded two times a day. Body weights were recorded on day 1 prior to administration and on days 8 and 15. All animals were necropsied and examined macroscopically. No deaths occurred during the study. Slight erythema on the back was evident in three males and one female on test day 2 additionally in an other female on test day 2 and 3. All other animals were without clinical signs. The body weight of the animals was within the range commonly recorded for this strain and age. No macroscopic findings were observed at necropsy.
