TEST ANIMALS
- Source: Charles River, 97633 Sulzfeld, Germany
- Age at study initiation: 8-10 weeks
- Weight at study initiation: female: 149 - 179 g
- Fasting period before study: 16 - 19 h (access to water was permitted)
- Housing: in groups in IVC cages, type III H, polysulphone cages on Altromin Altromin saw fibre bedding
- Diet: ad libitum, Altromin 1324 maintenance diet for rats and mice (lot no. 856)
- Water: ad libitum, tap water, sulphur acidified to a pH value of approximately 2.8 (drinking water, municipal residue control, microbiol. controlled periodically)
- Acclimation period: at least 5 days
The animals were non-pregnant and nulliparous.

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

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:

oral: gavage

Vehicle:

cotton seed oil

Details on oral exposure:

VEHICLE
- Concentration in vehicle: 0.2 g/ml
- Amount of vehicle (if gavage): 1. and 2. step: 0.3 g of the test item were suspended in the vehicle to gain a final volume of 10 mL and to achieve a dose of 300 mg/kg/f at a dose volume of 10 mL/kg body weight, 3. step: 1 g of the test item was suspended in the vehicle to gain a final volume of 5 mL and to achieve a dose of 2000 mg/kg body weight at a dose of 10 mL/kg body weight. For all animals of the fourth step, 1.5 g of the test item were suspended in the vehicle to gain a final volume of 7.5 mL and to achieve a dose of 2000 mg/kg body weight at a dose volume of 10 mL/kg body weight.
- Justification for choice of vehicle: The vehicle was chosen due to its non-toxic characterics
- Lot/batch no. (if required): Sigma, lot MKBJ0602V, expiry date 08/2013
- Purity: not mentioned

Doses:

300; 2000 mg/kg bw

No. of animals per sex per dose:

6 (3 in each of the 2 steps)

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. A careful clinical examination was made several times on the day of dosing (at least once during the first 30 minutes and with special attention given during the first 4 hours post-dose. Thereafter, the animals were observed for clinical signs once daily until the end of the observation period. All abnormalities were recorded.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes, at the end of the observation period the animals were sacrified by an over-dosage of phenobarbital.
- Other examinations performed: clinical signs, body weight, gross pathology

Preliminary study:

not ementioned

Effect levels

Sex:

female

Dose descriptor:

LD50

Effect level:

> 2 000 mg/kg bw

Mortality:

none animals died

Clinical signs:

other: at 300 mg/kg bw/d there were no signs of toxicity, after 2 h 3 animals showed slight piloerection at 2000 mg/kg bw/d after 30 minutes there were no signs of toxicity, after 2 and 3 h slight piloerection was seen in all six animals, 3 animals showed slight

Gross pathology:

With the exception of acute injection of blood vessels in the abdominal region, which is due to the euthanasia injection, no specific gross pathological changes were recorded for any animal.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

practically nontoxic

Remarks:

Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU

Conclusions:

No animal died. In the study performed the dosis letalis media (LD50) to rats of Cyclohexanol, 4-C11-12-alkyl, branched was found to be > 2000 mg/kg bodyweight.

Executive summary:

The median lethal dose of Cyclohexanol, 4-C11-12-alkyl, branched after a single oral administration to female rats, observed over a perid of 14 days is LD50 > 2000 mg/kg. At a dose of 300 mg/kg bw/d after 2 h 3 animals showed slight piloerection. At 2000 mg/kg bw/d after 30 minutes there were no signs of toxicity, after 2 and 3 h slight piloerection was seen in all six animals, 3 animals showed slightly reduced spontaneous activity and bradykinesia after 4 h, after 5 hours the 3 animals showed moderately reduced spontaneous activity and moderate piloerection and d 2 until the end of the observation period no signs of toxicity were seen in all animals. None of the animals showed weight loss during the observation period.
