Onset, duration and severity of any sign were recorded. The clinical signs and mortality observations were conducted at immediately (0 to 5 minutes), 5, 10, 30, 60 minutes, 2, 4 and 6 hours on the day of dosing and once daily thereafter for 14 day. Daily observation was done as far as possible at the same time.

All animals surviving the study period were sacrificed by the carbon dioxide asphyxiation technique.
- Other examinations performed: Histopathology: No gross abnormalities were observed in animals sacrificed terminally hence, no histopathology was performed.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: Not classified
Conclusions:
It was concluded that the acute oral toxicity dose (LD50) value was considered to be >2000 mg/kg bw, when Sprague Dawley rats were treated with the given test chemical via oral route.
Executive summary:

The reported study was designed and conducted to determine the acute oral toxicity profile as per OECD Guideline 423 (Acute Oral toxicity - Acute Toxic Class Method) in Sprague Dawley rats.

Initially, three female animals were treated at the dose level of 300 mg/kg body weight of the test item (Step - I). Administration of the test item at 300 mg/kg resulted in polyurea with onset at 6 hours after the dosing and no mortality at 24 hours after the dosing. As no mortality was observed at 24 hours after the dosing, three female animals were added to the study and treated with the same dose of 300 mg/kg of the test item (Step - II). Administration of the test item at 300 mg/kg resulted in polyurea with onset at 4 to 6 hours after the dosing and no mortality at 24 hours after the dosing. No mortality was observed at 300 mg/kg dose group, hence additional three female animals were treated with the higher dose of 2000 mg/kg of the test item (Step - I). Administration of the test item at 2000 mg/kg resulted in polyurea with onset at 1 to 2 hours after the dosing and no mortality at 24 hours after the dosing. As no mortality were observed at 24 hours after the dosing, additional three female animals were treated with the higher dose of 2000 mg/kg of the test item (Step - II). Administration of the test item at 2000 mg/kg resulted in polyurea with onset at 1 to 2 hours after the dosing and no mortality at 24 hours after the dosing. Gross pathological examination did not reveal any abnormalities in animals from 300 mg/kg and 2000 mg/kg dose groups.

It was concluded that the acute oral toxicity dose (LD50) value was considered to be >2000 mg/kg bw, when Sprague Dawley rats were treated with the given test chemical via oral route.
