- distilled water
- Details on oral exposure:
- MAXIMUM DOSE VOLUME APPLIED: 10 mL/kg bw
DOSAGE PREPARATION: The test material was freshly formulated at a concentration of 200 mg/mL in the vehicle, on the day of administration. The formulation container was stirred continuously up to finishing the treatment.
CLASS METHOD
- Rationale for the selection of the starting dose: The initial dose level was selected by the study director to be that which is most likely to produce mortality in some of the dosed animals. In the lack of any preliminary toxicological information, 2000 mg/kg bw was selected to be the starting dose. - Doses:
- 2000 mg/kg bw
- No. of animals per sex per dose:
- Two groups of three females were dosed.
- Control animals:
- no
- Details on study design:
- - Dosing procedure: Initially, three females (Group 1) were dosed, and then based on the observations a further group of three females (Group 2) were dosed.
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days.
- Frequency of observations and weighing:
> Clinical observations were performed on all animals at 30 minutes, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6 hours after dosing and daily for 14 days thereafter. Individual observations were performed on the skin, fur, eyes, mucous membranes, respiratory, circulatory, autonomic and central nervous system, somatomotor activity and behaviour pattern. Particular attention was directed to observation of tremors, convulsions, salivation, diarrhoea, lethargy, sleep and coma.
> Body weight was recorded on the day before treatment (Day -1), on the day of the treatment (Day 0) and weekly thereafter.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: Yes, macroscopic examination was performed on all animals. The animals were sacrificed by exsanguination under pentobarbital anaesthesia. After examination of the external appearance, the cranial, thoracic and the abdominal cavities were opened and the organs and the tissues were observed. Macroscopic abnormalities were recorded.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- other: Not classified according to EU criteria
- Conclusions:
- Under the conditions of the study, the acute oral LD50 of the test material was determined to be > 2000 mg/kg bw in female Wistar rats.
- Executive summary:
The acute oral toxicity of the test material was determined in a GLP study conducted in line with OECD 423, EU Method B.1 tris and EPA OPPTS 870.110, according to the acute toxic class method.
A total of six fasted female Wistar rats were exposed to the test material at 2000 mg/kg bw by oral gavage. Individuals were observed for mortality, clinical signs of toxicity, bodyweight gain and then submitted for necropsy 14 days after exposure.
Initially, three female animals were treated with the test material at 2000 mg/kg bw. No mortality was observed, therefore further 3 animals were treated at the dose level of 2000 mg/kg bw. As no mortality was observed in this second dose group, further testing was not required according to the test guidelines.
Under the conditions of the test no mortality was observed, individual weight gain showed no signs of treatment related effects, and t here was no evidence of any gross findings at necropsy. Clinical signs were observed in some individuals, vocalisation (3/6), hunched back (6/6), irritability (3/6). However, Group 1 was symptom free from 6 hours after the treatment and Group 2 was symptom free from one day after the treatment.
Based on these observations the acute oral LD50 of the test material was determined to be > 2000 mg/kg bw in female Wistar rats.
