Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

Category 4 based on GHS criteria

Conclusions:

The test substance toxicity was evaluated on the basis of mortality, clinical signs of intoxication, body weight decrease or increment during the observation period and necropsy findings at the end of study. The test substance administered at the dose 2000 mg/kg caused death of two females and moribund status of one female. The serious clinical signs of intoxication were detected during the study in all three animals administered at the dose 2000 mg/kg.The test substance administered at the lower dose of 300 mg/kg caused no death of females. No clinical signs of intoxication and no macroscopic changes in two administered groups of three females were recorded. According to the study results the value of LD50 of the test substance, Akardit, for female rats is in the range > 300 mg/kg to < 2000 mg/kg.

Executive summary:

The aim of the study was to investigate acute toxic effects of the test substance Akardit,after a single oral administration to Wistar rats.

 

The testing was performed according to the Method B.1 tris: Acute Oral Toxicity - Acute Toxic Class Method, Council Regulation (EC) No.440/2008, published in O.J. L 142, 2008.

 

The test substance was administered in a single dose as solution in vehicle (olive oil), given orally via gavage to female Wistar rats.

 

The dosing was performed sequentially in three groups of three females: group No. 1 (first step) using the starting dose of 2000 mg/kg body weight, group No. 2 (second step) and group No. 3 (third step) using a dose of 300 mg/kg body weight. The volume of administered solution was 1 ml/100 g body weight of animals.

      

The test substance administered at the dose of 2000 mg/kg caused death of two females. Remaining one female had to be humanely sacrificed for moribund status in the morning 2^ndday of the study.

The clinical signs of intoxication such as piloerection, gibbous posture, decreased reaction to stimuli and tachypnoea were observed immediately 30 minutes after application in all three animals. The lateral posture, ataxia (pulling body and pelvic legs), red discharge from nostrils and salivation appeared 3hours after application in all three females. The piloerection, tachypnoe and decreased reaction to stimuli were still persist.

Two females was found out dead the 2^ndday morning after application. At this time the clinical examination was performed only in one moribund female. The clinical signs of intoxication such ascyanotic skin and mucous membrane, lacrimation and salivation, red discharge from nostrils,fur stained by urine was observed in one moribund female and the symptoms of approaching deathsuch as tremor, apathy, ataxia (pulling body and pelvic legs), no reaction to stimuli were observed.

 

During pathological examination the cachexy, fur stained by urine, cyanosis of skin and mucous membrane, haemorrhagic discharge from nostrils and eye, were found out in all three females. In abdominal cavity the dilatation and flatulence of stomach was recorded in all three females.

 

The test substance administered at the dose of 300 mg/kg caused no death and no clinical signs in two administered groups of females.

No macroscopic changes were diagnosed during pathological examination.

 

According to the study results the value of LD₅₀of the test substance, Akardit,for female rats is in the range > 300 mg/kg to < 2000 mg/kg.
