Specific details on test material used for the study:
STABILITY AND STORAGE CONDITIONS OF TEST MATERIAL
- Storage condition of test material: room temperature, protected from light
- Stability under test conditions: stable
- Solubility and stability of the test substance in the solvent/vehicle: stable
- Reactivity of the test substance with the solvent/vehicle of the cell culture medium: not applicable

TREATMENT OF TEST MATERIAL PRIOR TO TESTING
- Treatment of test material prior to testing: For all animals of the first step, 2.0068 g of the test item was diluted with the vehicle to yield a final volume of 10 ml and to achieve a dose of 2000 mg/kg bw at a dose volume of 10 ml/kg bw. For all animals of the second step, 2.0002 g of the test item was diluted with the vehicle to yield a final volume of 10 ml and to achieve a dose of 2000 mg/kg bw at a dose volume of 10 ml/kg bw.
- Preliminary purification step (if any): none
- Final dilution of a dissolved solid, stock liquid or gel: not applicable
- Final preparation of a solid: not applicable

Test animals

Species:
rat
Strain:
Wistar
Sex:
female
Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
TEST ANIMALS
- Source: Charles River, 97633 Sulzfeld, Germany
- Females (if applicable) nulliparous and non-pregnant: yes
- Age at study initiation: 8 – 10 weeks
- Weight at study initiation: Step 1: 153 – 177 g; Step 2: 189 – 200 g
- Fasting period before study: Prior to the administration food was withheld from the test animals for 16 to 19 hours (access to water was permitted).
- Housing: The animals were kept in groups in IVC cages, type III H, polysulphone cages on Altromin saw fibre bedding
- Diet (e.g. ad libitum): Altromin 1324 maintenance diet for rats and mice, ad libitum
- Water (e.g. ad libitum): tap water, ad libitum
- Acclimation period: at least 5 days

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 22 +/- 3
- Humidity (%): 55 +/- 10
- Air changes (per hr): 10
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12/12

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
oral: gavage
Vehicle:
corn oil
Details on oral exposure:
VEHICLE
- Concentration in vehicle: 0.2 g/ml
- Amount of vehicle (if gavage): not specified
- Justification for choice of vehicle: This vehicle was chosen due to its non-toxic characteristics.
- Lot/batch no. (if required): MKCG3257
- Purity: not specified

MAXIMUM DOSE VOLUME APPLIED: 10 ml/kg bw

DOSAGE PREPARATION (if unusual): For all animals of the first step, 2.0068 g of the test item was diluted with the vehicle to yield a final volume of 10 ml and to achieve a dose of 2000 mg/kg bw at a dose volume of 10 ml/kg bw. For all animals of the second step, 2.0002 g of the test item was diluted with the vehicle to yield a final volume of 10 ml and to achieve a dose of 2000 mg/kg bw at a dose volume of 10 ml/kg bw.

CLASS METHOD (if applicable)
- Rationale for the selection of the starting dose: The starting dose was selected to be 2000 mg/kg bw. No compound-related mortality was recorded for any animal of step 1 or 2. Based on these results and according to the acute toxic class method regime no further testing was required.
Doses:
2000 mg/kg bw in step 1 and 2
No. of animals per sex per dose:
3F per step 1 and 2, overall 6 animals used
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: The animals were weighed on day 1 (prior to the administration) and on days 8 and 15.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes
- Other examinations performed: clinical signs, body weight, gross pathology
Statistics:
Not used
