Test animals
- Species:
- rat
- Strain:
- Wistar
- Sex:
- female
- Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
- ANIMAL INFORMATION
- Female Wistar strain rats (RccHan:WIST) were supplied by Envigo RMS (UK) Limited, Oxon, UK.
- On receipt the animals were randomly allocated to cages.
- The females were nulliparous and non-pregnant.
- After an acclimatisation period of at least 5 days the animals were selected at random and given a number unique within the study by indelible ink marking on the tail and a number written on a cage card.
- At the start of the study the animals were 8 to 12 weeks of age.
- Body weight variation did not exceed ± 20 % of the mean body weight at the start of treatment.
ANIMAL CARE AND HUSBANDRY
- Animals were housed in groups of up to four in suspended solid-floor polypropylene cages furnished with wood flakes.
- With the exception of an overnight fast immediately before dosing and for approximately 3 to 4 hours after dosing, free access to mains drinking water and food (2014C Teklad Global Rodent diet supplied by Envigo RMS (UK) Limited, Oxon, UK) was allowed throughout the study.
- The diet, drinking water and bedding were routinely analysed and were considered not to contain any contaminants that would reasonably be expected to affect the purpose or integrity of the study.
- Temperature was set to achieve limits of 19 to 25 °C.
- Relative humidity was set to achieve limits of 30 to 70 %.
- Rate of air exchange was at least 15 changes per hour.
- Lighting was controlled by a time switch to give 12 hours continuous light and 12 hours darkness.
- Animals were provided with environmental enrichment items which were condidered not to contain any contaminant of a level that might have affected the purpose or integrity of the study.
Administration / exposure
- Route of administration:
- oral: gavage
- Vehicle:
- unchanged (no vehicle)
- Details on oral exposure:
- TEST ITEM PREPARATION AND ANALYSIS
- The test item was used as supplied.
- Specific gravity was determined and used to calculate the appropriate dose volume for the required dose level.
EXPOSURE TO TEST ITEM
- All animals were dosed once only by gavage using a metal cannula attached to a graduated syringe.
- The volume administered to each animal was calculated according to the fasted body weight at the time of dosing.
- Treatment of animals was sequential.
- Sufficient time was allowed between each dose group to confirm the survival of previously dosed animals.
- Clinical observations were made 0.5, 1, 2 and 4 hours after dosing and then daily for 14 days.
- Morbidity and mortality checks were made twice daily (early and late) during normal working days and once daily on weekends and public holidays.
- Individual body weights were recorded on Day 0 (the day of dosing) and on days 7 and 14.
- At the end of the observation period the animals were killed by cervical dislocation.
- All animals were subjected to gross necropsy consisting of an external examination plus opening of the abdominal and thoracic cavities. The appearance of any macroscopic abnormalities was recorded. No tissues were retained.
DATA EVALUATION
- The test item was evaluated according to Annex 3 of the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals No 420 “Acute Oral Toxicity – Fixed Dose Method” (adopted 17 December 2001) as shown in the flow chart in Annex 2 (attached).
- Evaluation of data included identification of the number of animals that died during the study (or were killed for humane reasons) plus determination of the nature, severity, onset and duration of toxic effects. If possible, the signs of evident toxicity were described.
- Evident toxicity refers to toxic effects of sufficient severity that administration of the next higher dose level could result in development of severe signs of toxicity and probably mortality.
- Effects on body weights and abnormalities at necropsy were also identified. - Doses:
- Single dose of 2000 mg/kg bw
- No. of animals per sex per dose:
- Five
- Control animals:
- no
- Details on study design:
- STUDY DESIGN
- Flow charts summarising the sighting test and main test are provided in Annex 2 and Annex 3 (attached).
- Using available information on the toxicity of the test item, the starting dose was chosen as 2000 mg/kg bw.
- A single animal was treated with 2000 mg/kg bw (specific gravity 0.970; dose volume 2.07 mL/kg).
- In the absence of toxicity, an additional group of four animals was then treated with 2000 mg/kg bw (specific gravity 0.970; dose volume 2.07 mL/kg).
- A total of five animals was therefore treated at the dose level of 2000 mg/kg bw during the study. - Statistics:
- - An estimate of the acute oral median lethal dose (LD50) of the test item was made using mortality data obtained during the study.

GUIDELINE
The study was performed to assess acute oral toxicity of the test item in the Wistar strain rat in compliance with the OECD Guideline for Testing of Chemicals No 420 “Acute Oral Toxicity – Fixed Dose Method” (2001) and Method B.1 bis Acute Toxicity (Oral) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008.
METHODS
Following a sighting test at a dose level of 200 mg/kg, an additional four fasted female animals were given a single oral dose of test item at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg bw. Clinical signs and body weight development were monitored during the study. All animals were subjected to gross necropsy.
RESULTS
No animal deaths took place during the study and clinical observations resulted in no reports of systemic toxicity. All animals showed expected gains in body weight and no abnormalities were noted at necropsy.
CONCLUSION
The acute oral median lethal dose (LD50) of the test item in the female Wistar strain rat was found to be > 2000 mg/kg bw.
