Test animals
- Species:
- rat
- Strain:
- Wistar
- Sex:
- male/female
- Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
- TEST ANIMALS
- Source: Breeding Centre for Laboratory Animals Çharles River Wiga GmbH", Sulzfeld, F.R. Germany.
- Age at study initiation: 5 weeks.
- Weight at study initiation: males: 139-158 g; females: 126-141 g.
- Fasting period before study: overnight.
- Housing: Groups of five animales, males and females separated in stainless cages eith wire-screen bottom and front.
- Diet (e.g. ad libitum): The Institute's cereal-based, open-formula basal diet for rats was fed to the animals ad libitum during the quarantine and study periods except for fasting prior to dosing.
- Water (e.g. ad libitum): Tap water was freely available at all times by means of an automatic watering system.
- Acclimation period: The rats were kept under the environmental conditions of the Institute's animal house for an acclimatization period of about 1 week prior to the test.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 20-24°C.
- Humidity (%): 30-70%.
- Air changes (per hr): about 10 airchanges per hour.
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12 hours light, 12 hours dark.
IN-LIFE DATES: From: September 28, 1989 To:October 12, 1989
Administration / exposure
- Route of administration:
- oral: gavage
- Vehicle:
- water
- Details on oral exposure:
- The test substance was diluted with water in a concentration of 20% (w/v). The test dilution was given by gavage, in one single dose of 10 ml/kg body weight to five male and five female rats.
- Doses:
- 2000 mg/kg body weight
- No. of animals per sex per dose:
- 5
- Control animals:
- no
- Details on study design:
- A preliminary study was carried out to find the general level of acute toxicity for the test substance.
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: The rats were observed frequently for signs of intoxication during the first 4 post-treatment hours and later on, at least once daily, throughout an observation period of 14 days. Individual body weights were recorded on day 0, 3, 7 and 14.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: At the end of the observation period, the rats were killed with carbon dioxide for macroscopic examination. - Statistics:
- Since no mortality occurred a LD50 could not be calculated; a LD50 exceeding 2000 mg/kg body weight was given as a result.
Results and discussion
- Preliminary study:
- A prelimary study was carried out to find the general level of acute toxicity of the test substance; data of this preliminary study were not presented in the report.
Effect levels
- Sex:
- male/female
- Dose descriptor:
- LD50
- Effect level:
- > 2 000 mg/kg bw
- Mortality:
- No mortality occcurred
- Clinical signs:
- other: At 1, 4 and 24 hours after treatment all animals showed moderate signs of piloerection. These signs of intoxication were not observed 48 hours after treatment and thereafter.
- Gross pathology:
- Macroscopic examination at the end of the observation period did not reveal any treatment-related gross alteration.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- practically nontoxic
- Remarks:
- Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
- Conclusions:
- The acute oral toxicity of ethyl-S-lactate is clearly less than the limit for classification as harmful
- Executive summary:
Ethyl-S-lactate was administered to rats by oral gavage. The LD50 is higher than the upper limit for classification (2000 mg/kg bw).
