TEST ANIMALS
- Strain: RCCHan:WIST
- Source: Harlan GmbH, 5960 AD Horst, Netherlands
- Age at study initiation: 8-12 weeks approximately
- Weight at study initiation: 169-186 g
- Fasting period before study: Food was withheld from the animals for approximately 16-24 h before administration of the test item, and they were fed again approximately 2-4 h after administration.
- Housing: The animals were group caged conventionally in polycarbonate cages on low dust wood granulate bedding.
- Diet and water: ad libitum
- Acclimation period: at least 5 days

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 22 +/- 2
- Humidity (%): 55 +/- 5
- Air changes (per hr): approx. 10
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12 / 12

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
oral: gavage
Vehicle:
polyethylene glycol
Details on oral exposure:
Administration volume: 10 mL/kg bw

VEHICLE: polyethylene glycol 400
Doses:
2000 mg/kg bw
No. of animals per sex per dose:
6 (3 animals per step)
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: Clinical signs and mortality rates were determined several times on the day of administration and subsequently at least once daily. The weight gain was checked weekly until the end of the study.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes
Statistics:
The LD50 value was estimated according to OECD TG 423 (2001).

Effect level:
> 5 000 mg/kg bw
Remarks on result:
other: cut-off level according to OECD TG 423, Annex 2d
Mortality:
There were no deaths.
Clinical signs:
Decreased motility was observed in one animal.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Executive summary:

An acute oral toxicity study according to OECD TG 423 (Acute Toxic Class Method) was conducted on 6 female rats (3 per step), receiving each a single dose of 2000 mg/kg of the test item formulated in polyethylene glycol. No mortalities, no effects on body weight gain and no gross pathological findings were observed. Only decreased motility was observed in one animal. The LD50 of the test material was estimated from the flow chart of the OECD TG 423, Annex 2d, to be > 5000 mg/kg bw.
