Results and discussion

Preliminary study:

Signs observed included abnormal gait, abnormal stance, piloerection, ptosis, decreased body tone, decreased activity, diarrhea, hypersensitivity, salivation, poor grooming and prostration. None of the animals died at 500 mg/kg, one of four died at 1600 mg/kg and three of four died at the 5000 mg/kg dose level.

Effect levels

Sex:

male/female

Dose descriptor:

LD50

Effect level:

2 607 mg/kg bw

Based on:

test mat.

95% CL:

> 2 075 - < 3 277

Mortality:

Three of the rats died at 2000 mg/kg, seven died at 3200 and 4000 mg/kg and all animals died at 5000 mg/kg.

Clinical signs:

Signs observed included decreased activity, ataxia, diarrhea, salivation, lacrimation, ptosis, poor grooming, chromodacryorrhea, piloerection, decreased body tone, abnormal gait, abnormal stance, tremors, epistaxis, body drop, semi-prostration, prostration, dilated pupils and hypersensitivity.

Body weight:

All surviving animals showed a normal body weight increase.

Gross pathology:

Necropsy of the animals dying on study revealed hemorrhages, desquamation and ulceration of the stomach. The stomach, intestines and bladder were fluid-filled and distended. The thymus, liver and adrenals were discolored. Congested testes and mottled lungs were observed. Poor grooming and wet ventral pellage were also observed. Terminal necropsy revealed no test substance related lesions in the remaining animals.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

Category 5 based on GHS criteria

Conclusions:

In an acute oral toxicity study with rats, performed equivalent to OECD 401 guideline and performed according to GLP principles, an LD50 of 2607 mg/kg bw was determined.

Executive summary:

The test substance 83 -219 -02 was tested in an acute oral toxicity study with rats, performed equivalent to OECD 401 guideline and performed according to GLP principles.
