Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

other: Based on the results of the test article falls into GHS Acute Oral Toxicity Category 5 (>2000 mg/kg to

Remarks:

Conclusions:

Based on the results of the study, the oral LD50 of the test article is greater than 2000 mg/kg.

Executive summary:

The acute oral toxicity of the test article was evaluated in female Wistar rats. This study was performed in compliance with OECD GLP (1997). The study design was based on OECD 423 (2001), EC 440/2008, B1, EPA OPPTS 870.1100 (2002) and JMAFF guidelines (2000) including recent partial revisions. The test article was dosed as received. One group (3 females) received 300 mg/kg test article via oral gavage. In a stepwise procedure two additional groups (3 females each) received 2000 mg/kg test article via oral gavage. The rats were observed immediately and at 2, and 4 hours postdose and then once daily for 14 days. Body weights were recorded pretest, weekly, and at termination. All animals were examined for gross pathology. All animals survived. Hunched posture and/or piloerection were noted in all animals on Days 1 and/or 2. There were no abnormal body weight changes or necropsy findings in any animals. Based on the results of this study, the oral LD50 of the test article is greater than 2000 mg/kg.
