Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
oral: gavage
Vehicle:
polyethylene glycol
Details on oral exposure:
Single oral intubation via gavage to animals fasted overnight.
A dilution of the test compound was prepared with the help of a homogenizer (Ultra-Turrax) and kept stable during treatment with a magnetic stirrer. In the doses above 5000 mg/kg bw the test item was applied as a concentrate.
Doses:
500, 3000, 5000, 10000 and 20000 mg/kg bw
No. of animals per sex per dose:
5
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations: at 1, 2, 3, 5 and 24 h after dosing and once daily thereafter
- Frequency of weighing: day 0 (prior to dosing), day 7 and day 14
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes

Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 20 000 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
Mortality:
During the study period no mortality was observed.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
study cannot be used for classification
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
The acute oral LD50 of the test item in rats of both sexes observed over a period of 14 days was estimated to be greater than 20.000 mg/kg bw.
