Administration / exposure

Route of administration:

oral: gavage

Vehicle:

unchanged (no vehicle)

Details on oral exposure:

GAVAGE METHOD: plastic feeding tubes.

Frequency: single dosage, on Day 1.

MAXIMUM DOSE VOLUME APPLIED: 2000 mg/kg (10 mL/kg) body weight.
Dose volume calculated as dose level (g/kg) / density (g/mL).

DOSAGE PREPARATION: The test substance was dosed undiluted as delivered by the sponsor. No correction for purity was made

CLASS METHOD (if applicable)
- Rationale for the selection of the starting dose: Based on anticipated mortality at the next higher dose.

Doses:

1000 mg/kg body weight
2000 mg/kg body weight

No. of animals per sex per dose:

1000 mg/kg: 6 (2 groups of three females in a stepwise manner)
2000 mg/kg: 3

Control animals:

yes

Details on study design:

The toxicity of the test substance was assessed by stepwise treatment of groups of 3 females. The first group was treated at a dose level of 1000 mg/kg. The absence or presence of mortality of animals dosed at one step determined the next step, based on the test procedure defined in the guidelines. The onset, duration and severity of the signs of toxicity were taken into account for determination of the time interval between the dose groups. A concurrent control group was added to the first two treated groups. Thereafter no concurrent control was added.

- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing:
Mortality/Viability: Twice daily. The time of death was recorded as precisely as possible.
Body weights: Days 1 (pre-administration), 8 and 15 and at death (if found dead after Day 1).
Clinical signs: At periodic intervals on the day of dosing (Day 1) and once daily thereafter, until Day 15.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: on Day 15
- Other examinations performed: bloodsampling on Day 5 and 15 (red blood cell count, reticutolcyte count, hemoglobin level and met-hemoglobin level, organ weights (spleen, kidney and liver) at necropsy, hostopathological examination of the spleen

Statistics:

No statistical analysis was performed (The method used is not intended to allow the calculation of a precise LD50 value).

Results and discussion

Effect levels

Sex:

female

Dose descriptor:

LD50

Effect level:

> 1 000 - < 2 000 mg/kg bw

Based on:

test mat.

Mortality:

No mortality occurred at 1000 mg/kg and control groups. Two females at 2000 mg/kg (2/3) were found dead on Days 1 or 4.

Clinical signs:

No clinical signs were noted in the control animals.
Animals at 1000 mg/kg showed lethargy, hunched posture, uncoordinated movements, piloerection, ptosis, slow breathing, and/or watery discharge from the eye on Day 1.
Animals at 2000 mg/kg showed lethargy, flat and/or hunched posture, uncoordinated movements, slow breathing, piloerection, hypothermia and/or ptosis until death (two animals) or on Days 1-3 (surviving animal).

Body weight:

The body weight gain shown by the surviving animals over the study period was considered to be similar to the control animals.

Gross pathology:

Necropsy did not reveal any toxicologically relevant alterations.
A control animal showed pelvic dilation and black nodules in the liver, which are considered incidental findings not related to the test substance. One animal at 2000 mg/kg showed advanced autolysis and the skin of the left region of the head was missing due to cannibalism.

Other findings:

The animals at 1000 mg/kg showed lower red blood cell counts in combination with higher percentage of reticulocytes, compared to the control animals, on Day 5 and 15. A lower level of total hemoglobin was noted on Day 5, which recovered on Day 15. The slight higher met-hemoglobin levels on Day 5 and/or 15 (as compared to the controls) are within the range to be expected for rats of this age and strain.
The surviving animal treated at 2000 mg/kg showed comparable trends in all four parameters.

Liver, spleen and kidney weights of treated animals were considered to be similar to those of control animals.

There were no treatment-related findings in the spleens of the 1000 mg/kg treated rats.
No direct cause of death at 2000 mg/kg could be established from the examined sections of the spleen.
There was a treatment related microscopic finding in the 2000 mg/kg treated rats. Atrophy of the white and red pulp of the spleen was noted at minimal degree in the one surviving female and at moderate degree in one female (found dead on Day 4).
The remainder of the recorded microscopic findings in the spleen were all within the normal range of background alterations encountered in rats of this age and strain and therefore not regarded as test article related.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

harmful

Remarks:

Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: OECD GHS

Conclusions:

In an acute oral toxicity study with female rats, performed according to OECD/EC test guidelines, an LD50 between 1000 and 2000 mg/kg bw was determined.

According to the OECD 423 test guideline, the LD50 cut-off value was considered to be 1000 mg/kg body weight.

Based on these results:
-according to the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) of the United Nations (2011), OS 2600 should be classified as: harmful if swallowed (Category 4) for acute toxicity by the oral route.
-according to the Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 on classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures, OS 2600 should be classified as Category 4 and should be labeled as H302: Harmful if swallowed.
