Results and discussion

Preliminary study:

Not applicable

Effect levels

Sex:

male/female

Dose descriptor:

LD50

Effect level:

> 5 000 mg/kg bw

Based on:

test mat.

Mortality:

Male: Number of animals: 5; Number of deaths: 1
Female: Number of animals: 5; Number of deaths: 0

Clinical signs:

All animals appeared ruffled up to 3 h after treatment; they appeared oily and dirty after 24h, but appeared normal thereafter. One male rat died on day 2 with the remaining animals exhibited a discharge around the eyes and nose. They appeared essentially recovered after 72 h and continued to appear normal throughout the remainder of the observation period. Gross pathologic examination revealed nothing remarkable.

Body weight:

All animals showed bodyweight gain.

Gross pathology:

No gross abnormalities were noted in all animals (either found dead during the study or in the animals necropsied at the conclusion of the study).

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

practically nontoxic

Remarks:

Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU

Conclusions:

The test article, when administered as received to male/female Sprague-Dawley rats, had an acute oral LD50 of greater than 5000 mg/kg bodyweight

Executive summary:

In an acute oral toxicity study, fasted Sprague-Dawley strain Albino rats (five male and five female) were given a single oral dose of undiluted test material at a dose level of   5000  mg/kg bw and observed for14 days.

All animals appeared ruffled up to 3 h after treatment; they appeared oily and dirty after 24h, but appeared normal thereafter. One male rat died on day 2 with the remaining animals exhibited a discharge around the eyes and nose. They appeared essentially recovered after 72 h and continued to appear normal throughout the remainder of the observation period. Gross pathologic examination revealed nothing remarkable.

The oral LD50 value of test material in rats of both sexes has been determined to be greater than 5000 mg/kg. And the substance was considered not toxic.
