Test animals

Species:

rat

Strain:

other: Crl:WI (Han)

Sex:

female

Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:

- Source: Charles River Deutschland, Sulzfeld, Germany
- Age at study initiation: Young adult animals (approx. 8 weeks old)
- Weight at study initiation: 146-166 g
- Fasting period before study: Animals were deprived of food overnight prior to dosing and until 3-4 hours after administration of the test item. Water was available ad libitum.
- Housing: Group housing of 3 animals per cage in labeled Makrolon cages (MIV type; height 18 cm.), containing sterilized sawdust as bedding material and paper as cage-enrichtment.
- Diet: Free access to pelleted rodent diet (SM R/M-Z from SSNIFF® Spezialdiäten GmbH, Soest, Germany).
- Water: Free access to tap water.
- Acclimation period: At least 5 days

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 18 – 24 (set to maintain)
- Humidity (%): 40 - 70 (set to maintain)
- Air changes (per hr): approx 10
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12/12

- Deviations from the maximum level of daily mean relative humidity occurred. However, laboratory historical data do not indicate an effect of the deviations. Therefore, the study integrity was not adversely affected by the deviation.

IN-LIFE DATES: From: 23 August 2016 to 13 September 2016

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:

oral: gavage

Vehicle:

corn oil

Details on oral exposure:

VEHICLE
- Concentration in vehicle: not indicated
- Amount of vehicle (if gavage): not indicated
- Justification for choice of vehicle: The vehicle was selected based on trial preparations performed at Charles River Den Bosch and on test item data supplied by the Sponsor. There was no information available regarding the solubility or stability in vehicle.
- Specific gravity: 0.92

MAXIMUM DOSE VOLUME APPLIED: 2000 mg/kg (10 mL/kg) body weight.

DOSAGE PREPARATION: The preparations (w/w) were kept at room temperature and were dosed within 4 hours after adding the vehicle to the test item. Homogeneity was assessed by visual inspection of the solutions and the formulations were stirred during dosing, which ensures homogeneity sufficient for these kinds of studies. In order to obtain homogeneity, the test item (preparations) were heated in a water bath with a maximum temperature of 65ºC for a maximum of 1 hour. The test item (preparations) were allowed to cool to a temperature of maximally 40ºC prior to dosing.

CLASS METHOD (if applicable)
- Rationale for the selection of the starting dose: maximum recommended dose according to OECD 423.

Doses:

2000 mg/kg (10 mL/kg) body weight

No. of animals per sex per dose:

6 females/dose (2 groups of three females in a stepwise manner)

Control animals:

no

Details on study design:

- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing:
Mortality/Viability: twice daily
Body weights: days 1 (pre-administration), 8 and 15
Clinical signs: At periodic intervals on the day of dosing (Day 1) and once daily thereafter, until Day 15.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: Yes
- Other examinations performed: none.

Statistics:

The LD50 cut-off value was established based on OECD guideline 423.No statistical analysis was performed (the method used is not intended to allow the calculation of a precise LD50 value).

Results and discussion

Effect levels

Key result

Sex:

female

Dose descriptor:

LD50

Effect level:

> 2 000 mg/kg bw

Based on:

test mat.

Mortality:

No mortality occurred.

Clinical signs:

Lethargy, piloerection and/or hunched posture were noted for all animals between Days 1 and 4.

Body weight:

The mean body weight gain shown by the surviving animals over the study period was considered to be similar to that expected for normal untreated animals of the same age and strain.

Gross pathology:

No abnormalities were found at macroscopic post mortem examination of the animals.

Other findings:

- according to the OECD 423 test guideline, the LD50 cut-off value was considered to exceed 5000 mg/kg body weight.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Remarks:

Not classified according to Regulation 1272/2008/EC

Conclusions:

In an acute oral toxicity study with rats, performed according to OECD/EC test guidelines, an LD50 >2000 mg/kg bw was determined. According to the OECD 423 test guideline, the LD50 cut-off value was considered to exceed 5000 mg/kg body weight. Based on the result obtained in this study, X-19555 does not need to be classified for acute toxicity under GHS and under Regulation 1272/2008/EC.
