Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
NOAEL and NOEL > 2000 mg/kg bw (male/female)
Executive summary:

The oral repeated dose toxicity of the test substance has been determined in a subchronic GLP study with rats (males and females) according to OECD Guideline 408 (90-days, 7 days a week, of oral exposure (gavage) at doses of 0, 2, 10, 100 and 1000 mg/kg bw/day). The test substance was on the whole well tolerated up to and including the highest dosage administered because no signs of toxicity were observed. One animal, which was found dead during the study, was subjected to a gross postmortem examination and all protocol-specified tissues were examined microscopically, no treatment related effects were observed. Oral gavage administarion of the test material, for at least 90 days to rats at the highest dose level of 1000 mg/kg/day did not cause histomorphologic lesions in any of the representative sections of tissues. Accordingly, a NOEL and NOAEL of > 1000 mg/kg bw/day have been determined.
