Description of key information
According to the acute oral toxicity study results the value of LD50 of the test substance, Pigment Yellow 4, for female rats is higher than 2000 mg/kg of body weight. No serious clinical signs of intoxication were detected at this dose during whole study. No pathologic macroscopic changes were diagnosed during pathological examination.
The test substance applied on skin at the dose of 2000 mg/kg of body weight did not cause death of any animals. No clinical signs of toxicity were observed during the entire study. No macroscopic changes were diagnosed during pathological examination.
According to the results of this study, the LD50 value (dermal) of the test substance, Pigment Yellow 4, for rats of both sexes is higher than 2000 mg/kg of body weight.

- VEHICLEolive oil - Lot/batch no.: 8002182001 (expiration 07/2018), producer Dr. Kulich Pharma, s.r.o., Czech RepublicDOSING: On the basis of information about no toxicity of the test substance, the starting dose of 2000 mg/kg body weight was used. Because this dose caused no death of females, same dose of 2000 mg/kg level was sequentially applied for confirmation (application with time distance 24 hours) to group of 3 females. No death of animals was observed in this group of 3 females.PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF THE TEST SUBSTANCEImmediately before application the test substance was weighed, mixed with vehicle (olive oil) and resulting suspension was administered to the stomach by tube. All prepared suspensions of the test substance in olive oil were mixed by magnetic stirrer during administration.

- Executive summary:
The aim of the study was to investigate acute toxic effects of the test substance, Pigment Yellow 4, after a single oral administration to Wistar Han rats.
The testing was performed according Method B.1 tris: Acute Oral Toxicity - Acute Toxic Class Method, Council Regulation (EC) No.440/2008, published in O.J. L 142, 2008.
The test substance was administered in a single dose as a suspension in vehicle (Olive oil), given orally via gavage to female Wistar rats. The volume of administered suspension was 1 ml/100 g body weight of animals.
The dose level of 2000 mg/kg was used as the starting dose.
The dosing was performed sequentially in three groups of three females: group No. 1 - first step using the starting dose of 2000 mg/kg of body weight and group No. 2 – second step using the same dose 2000 mg/kg.
The test substance administered at the dose of 2000 mg/kg caused no death of animals. No serious clinical signs of intoxication were detected during whole study. No pathologic macroscopic changes were diagnosed during pathological examination.
According to the study results the value of LD50 of the test substance Pigment Yellow 4, for female rats is higher than 2000 mg/kg of body weight.

- Executive summary:
The test substance, Pigment Yellow 4, was tested for acute dermal toxicity using Wistar rats.
Testing was performed according to Method B.3 - Acute toxicity (Dermal), Council Regulation (EC) No.440/2008, published in O.J. L 142, 2008
The study was performed as a limit test: two groups of animals – 5 males and 5 females at a dose of 2000 mg/kg of body weight. The pre-test was performed with 1 male and 1 female from each group. After the end of exposure of these pilot animals, the other animals of the group were dosed.
The test substance (moistened with water) was applied on the shaved skin (approx. 10 % of body surface) of the test animals and held in place by a semi-occlusive dressing for 24 hours.
The test animals were observed daily for 14 days after ending of exposure of the test substance, sacrificed, and necropsy for macroscopic examination of the organs was performed.
The test substance applied at a dose of 2000 mg/kg of body weight did not cause death of any animals. No clinical signs of toxicity were observed during the entire study. No macroscopic changes were diagnosed during pathological examination.
According to the results of this study, the LD50 value (dermal) of the test substance, Pigment Yellow 4, for rats of both sexes is higher than 2000 mg/kg of body weight.
