Test animals

Species:

Strain:

Sprague-Dawley

Sex:

female

Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:

Animals were received from Charles River, Raleigh NC on 30 May 2017. Following an acclimation period of at least five days, five healthy, non-pregnant and nulliparous female Sprague Dawley rats were selected for dosing without conscious bias.
The animals were born on 03 Apr 2017. The pretest body weight range was 212 - 237 grams. The weight variation of the animals used did not exceed ± 20% of the mean weight of the previously dosed animals.
The animals were identified by cage notation and indelible body marks, and individually housed in suspended wire-bottom cages. Absorbent paper bedding was placed beneath the cages and changed at least three times per week. Fresh PMI Rat Chow (Diet No. 5012) was freely available except for 16 to 20 hours prior to dosing. Water was available ad libitum. The animal room, reserved exclusively for rats on acute tests, was temperature controlled, had a 12-hour light/dark cycle, and was kept clean and vermin free.

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:

oral: gavage

Vehicle:

water

Details on oral exposure:

The test article was mixed with distilled water to make dosing by gavage possible. The dose was based on the dry weight of the test article. Initially, a single female Sprague Dawley rat was dosed orally by syringe and dosing needle at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg. Since the animal survived, four additional females were dosed at 2000 mg/kg.

Doses:

One dose of 2000 mg/kg.

No. of animals per sex per dose:

Five

Control animals:

no

Details on study design:

In Vivo
Animals were observed at 15 minutes, 1, 2 and 4 hours post-dosing and once daily thereafter for 14 days for toxicity and pharmacological effects. Observations included, but were not limited to, evaluation of skin and fur, eyes and mucous membranes, respiratory and circulatory effects, autonomic effects such as salivation, central nervous system effects including tremors and convulsions, changes in the level of activity, gait and posture, reactivity to handling or sensory stimuli, altered strength, and stereotypies or bizarre behavior (e.g., self-mutilation, walking backwards). All animals were observed twice daily for mortality on Day 1 to Day 14. Body weights were recorded pre-test and at termination.
Post Mortem – All animals were humanely euthanized using CO2 following study termination and examined for gross pathology.

Statistics:

An estimate of the LD50 was made based on mortality occurring during the study.

Mortality:

All five female rats survived following a single 2000 mg/kg oral dose.

other: Abnormal physical signs including chromodacryorrhea, piloerection, and few feces were observed.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

The oral LD50 of L-005313063-000D009 is greater than 2000 mg/kg of body weight in female rats.

Executive summary:

Initially, a single female Sprague Dawley rat was dosed orally with L-005313063-00D009 at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg. Since the animal survived, four additional females were dosed at 2000 mg/kg. The rats were observed at 15 minutes, 1, 2 and 4 hours post-dosing and once daily thereafter for 14 days for toxicity and pharmacological effects. All animals were observed twice daily for mortality on Day 1 to Day 14. Body weights were recorded pre-test, weekly and at termination. All animals were examined for gross pathology. The potential for toxicity was based on the mortality response noted.

All five female rats survived following a single 2000 mg/kg oral dose. Abnormal physical signs including chromodacryorrhea, piloerection, and few feces were observed. All five animals gained body weight by study termination. Two animals lost weight from Day 7 to Day 14.
The gross necropsy revealed no observable abnormalities.

The oral LD50 of L-005313063-000D009 is greater than 2000 mg/kg of body weight in female rats.
