Executive summary:

In this GLP compliant acute oral toxicity study according to OECD guideline 423, two groups of female rats (Crl(WI)Br) were given a single oral dose of the test item at a concentration of 2084 mg/kg bw. The starting dose was selected on the basis of the available information about the test item. The acute toxic class method was carried out involving a stepwise procedure with the use of 2084 mg/kg bw as the starting dose in three female rats. No animal died in the first step at 2084 mg/kg bw dose level. Therefore, treatment with 2084 mg/kg bw was repeated on further three female rats. Again, no animal died in the second step, thus no further testing was required. The stopping criteria of Annex 2d of OECD Guideline No. 423 were met. Animals were weighed, observed for lethality and toxic symptoms for 14 days after the treatment. Gross pathological examination was carried out on the 15th day after the treatment.


 


Lethality, Clinical symptoms and Body weight:


No lethality was noted following oral administration of a single dose of 2084 mg/kg bw.


In the first step, disturbance of the autonomic functions (diarrhoea) was observed in animals on the treatment day.


In the second step, disturbance of the autonomic functions (diarrhoea) was observed in animals on the treatment day.


The body weight development was normal in all animals.


 


Gross pathology:


Altogether 6 animals were subjected to scheduled sacrifice during the study.


All organs of the animals treated with 2084 mg/kg bw dose proved to be free of treatment related gross pathological changes.


 


Evaluation:


The method used is not intended to allow for the calculation of a precise LD50 value. However, for this acute oral toxicity study with the test item in rats the determined LD50 is greater than 2084 mg/kg bw (LD50 ≥ 2084 mg/kg bw).

Conclusions:
In this acute dermal toxicity study with the test item, the obtained acute dermal LD50 value was greater than 2000 mg/kg bw in Crl(WI) male and female rats. According to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 and UN GHS, the test item has not been classified into any category.
On the other hand, it is to be noted that the test item caused dermal irritation response on the site of administration.
Executive summary:

An acute dermal toxicity study was performed with the test item in Crl(WI) rats, in compliance with OECD Guideline No. 402 and OPPTS 870.1200 and GLP.


A limit test was carried out. A single group of male and female animals (n=5 animals/sex) was exposed to the test item at 2000 mg/kg bw by dermal route. The test item was applied in undiluted form and left in contact with the skin for 24 hours, followed by a 14-day observation period.


No mortality occurred after the 24-hour dermal exposure to the test item in male and female rats during the study.


Neither male nor female animals treated with 2000 mg/kg bw of the test item showed behavioural changes and no systemic toxic signs were noted during the study. The test item caused dermal irritation symptoms in both sexes. Very slight and well defined erythema was observed in males between Day 1 and Day 10 and very slight erythema was found in females between Day 1 and Day 5. Erythema occurred in all animals. Very slight oedema was recorded in two males on Day 4. Other dermal irritation symptoms as desquamation, wounds and crusting occurred in four males between Day 4 and Day 9.


Mean body weight development was within the normal range for male animals of this strain and age. Slight body weight loss was observed in one female on first week. It was not evaluated as a toxic effect of the test item.


No macroscopic alterations of organs and tissues referred to a systemic toxic effect of the test item were seen during the necropsy.


In this acute dermal toxicity study with the test item, the obtained acute dermal LD50 value was greater than 2000 mg/kg bw in Crl(WI) male and female rats. According to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 and UN GHS, the test item has not been classified into any category.

Additional information

Acute oral toxicity


In a GLP compliant acute oral toxicity study according to OECD guideline 423, two groups of female rats (Crl(WI)Br) were given a single oral dose of the test item at a concentration of 2084 mg/kg bw. The starting dose was selected on the basis of the available information about the test item.


The acute toxic class method was carried out involving a stepwise procedure with the use of 2084 mg/kg bw as the starting dose in three female rats. No animal died in the first step at 2084 mg/kg bw dose level.


Therefore, treatment with 2084 mg/kg bw was repeated on further three female rats. Again, no animal died in the second step, thus no further testing was required. The stopping criteria of Annex 2d of OECD Guideline No. 423 were met.


Animals were weighed, observed for lethality and toxic symptoms for 14 days after the treatment. Gross pathological examination was carried out on the 15th day after the treatment.


 


Lethality, Clinical symptoms and Body weight:


No lethality was noted following oral administration of a single dose of 2084 mg/kg bw.


In the first step, disturbance of the autonomic functions (diarrhoea) was observed in animals on the treatment day.


In the second step, disturbance of the autonomic functions (diarrhoea) was observed in animals on the treatment day.


The body weight development was normal in all animals.


 


Gross pathology:


Altogether 6 animals were subjected to scheduled sacrifice during the study.


All organs of the animals treated with 2084 mg/kg bw dose proved to be free of treatment related gross pathological changes.


 


Evaluation:


The method used is not intended to allow for the calculation of a precise LD50 value. However, for this acute oral toxicity study with the test item in rats the determined LD50 is greater than 2084 mg/kg bw (LD50 ≥ 2084 mg/kg bw).


 


 


Acute dermal toxicity


An acute dermal toxicity study was performed with test item in Crl(WI) rats, in compliance with OECD Guideline No. 402 and OPPTS 870.1200 and GLP.


A limit test was carried out. A single group of male and female animals (n=5 animals/sex) was exposed to the test item at 2000 mg/kg bw by dermal route. The test item was applied in undiluted form and left in contact with the skin for 24 hours, followed by a 14-day observation period.


No mortality occurred after the 24-hour dermal exposure to the test item in male and female rats during the study.


Neither male nor female animals treated with 2000 mg/kg bw of the test item showed behavioural changes and no systemic toxic signs were noted during the study. The test item caused dermal irritation symptoms in both sexes. Very slight and well defined erythema was observed in males between Day 1 and Day 10 and very slight erythema was found in females between Day 1 and Day 5. Erythema occurred in all animals. Very slight oedema was recorded in two males on Day 4. Other dermal irritation symptoms as desquamation, wounds and crusting occurred in four males between Day 4 and Day 9.


Mean body weight development was within the normal range for male animals of this strain and age. Slight body weight loss was observed in one female on first week. It was not evaluated as a toxic effect of the test item.


No macroscopic alterations of organs and tissues referred to a systemic toxic effect of the test item were seen during the necropsy.


In this acute dermal toxicity study with the test item, the obtained acute dermal LD50 value was greater than 2000 mg/kg bw in Crl(WI) male and female rats. According to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 and UN GHS, the test item has not been classified into any category.


On the other hand, it is to be noted that the test item caused dermal irritation response on the site of administration.
