Route of administration:
oral: gavage
Vehicle:
propylene glycol
Details on oral exposure:
DOSAGE PREPARATION (if unusual): The formulations (w/w) were prepared immediately prior to dosing. Adjustment was made for specific gravity of the vehicle. The concentration of the test sustance in vehile was varied to allow constant dosage volume in terms of ml/kg body weight. Homogeneity was accomplished to a visually acceptable level.
Doses:
2000 mg/kg bw, 200 mg/kg bw, and 25 mg/kg bw
No. of animals per sex per dose:
3/sex/dose
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: Mortality/Viability was observed twice daily; body weights were recorded on Day 1 (pre-administration, 8 and 15 and at death (if found dead after Day 1); Clinical signs were periodically observed on the day of dosing (Day 1) and once daily thereafter, until Day 15 (the time of onset, degree and duration were recorded and the symptoms graded according to fixed scales: Max grade 4= drading slight (1) to very severe (4), Max grade 3= drading slight (1) to severe (3), Max grade 1= presence is scored (1)).
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes, at the end of the observation period, all animals were sacrificed by asphyxiation using a oxygen/carbon dioxide procedure and subject to necropsy.
Statistics:
None
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
25 - 200 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
Mortality:
All animals dosed at 2000 or at 200 mg/kg were found dead on day 2 or day 3, respectively. The surviving animals had recovered from the symptoms by day 2.
Clinical signs:
other: Clinical signs observed during the study period were as follows: 25 mg/kg: Uncoordinated movements (females only) 200 mg/kg: Lethargy, hunched posture, uncoordinated movements and piloerection. 2000 mg/kg: Lethargy, tremors, uncoordinated movements and p
Gross pathology:
Yellowish discoloration of all adipose tissue and reddish watery fluid in the thoracic and/or abdominal cavity were found in the 200 mg/kg treated animals at macroscopic post mortem examination. No abnormalities were found in the other dose groups.

Inadvertently, no animals observations were performed on Day 11 (males) and on Day 13 (females) of the 25 mg/kg dose group. Based on the previous observation, it was considered that this evernt has not adversely effected the study integrity.

Interpretation of results:
toxic

Conclusions:
Oral LD50 value of Epyrrol in Wistar rats was established to be within the range of 25-200 mg/kg body weight.
