Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
oral: gavage
Vehicle:
water
Details on oral exposure:
VEHICLE
- Concentration in vehicle: 30 mg/mL for pre-test and 200 mg/mL for main experiment
- Amount of vehicle (if gavage): 10 mL/kg bw

CLASS METHOD (if applicable)
- Rationale for the selection of the starting dose: In the abscence of data regarding the toxicity, 300 mg/kg bw was chosen as starting dose for a preliminary experiment
Doses:
300 mg/kg bw for pre-test and 2000 mg/kg bw for main experiment
No. of animals per sex per dose:
pre-test 300 mg/kg bw: 1 animal
main experiment 2000 mg/kg bw: 5 animals
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: cage side observations twice daily, weighing on day 0, 7 and 14
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes
- Other examinations performed: clinical signs: 0.5, 1, 2 and 4 hours after dosing and daily thereafter

Results and discussion

Preliminary study:
300 mg/kg bw: no mortalities, hunched posture 0.5, 1 and 2 hours after dosing, no signs after 4 hours
Effect levels
Sex:
female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 2 000 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
Mortality:
No mortalities
Clinical signs:
other: No signs of systemic toxicity
Gross pathology:
No abnormal findings

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The acute oral LD50 of HiPeaK was estimated to be >2000 mg/kg bw. Therefore no classification according to DSD or CLP is required.
