Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
oral: gavage
Vehicle:
other: sesame oil
Details on oral exposure:
Preparation of the testb compound was emulsified in the statd concentrations In sesame oil and distributed homogeneously by means of a magnetic stirrer. The stability and the homogenity of the test substance in the vehicle was determined by analytical methods.
Doses:
315,500 and 2000 mg/kg b.w.
No. of animals per sex per dose:
5 animals per sex per dose (315 and 2000mg/kg b.w.)
5 females (500 mg/kg b.w.)
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
The test substance preparations were administrated by gavage to fasted animals at the stated dosage. The observation periode following treatment lasted for 14 days. Symptoms and lethality were recorded twice every day ( in the morning and in the afternoon). On weekends and public holidays only once. Animlas found dead were dissected as soon as possible and examined for macroscopically visible changes. During this time the animals were weight weekly. At the end of the observation period surviving animals were killed by carbon dioxide asphyxiation dissedsd and also examined for macroscopically visible changes.
Statistics:
The LDso, the 95 % limits of confidence and the equation of the probitline were established in female
animals on the basis of the lethality rates by probit analysis.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Executive summary:

The acute oral toxicity testing of Lauryl-hydroxyethylimidazolinei n the rat yielded the following median lethal dose (LD50): Female animals: 448.9 mg/kg body weight Male animals did not show a higher sensitivity to the test substance. Lethality occurred up to day two of the study. Besides unspecific symptoms the animals showed impairments of motility and respiration as well as drawn in flanks. Additionally, hypoactivity, stupor, bristling coat, narrow palpebral fissures and trembling and were observed. Development of body weight was not impaired. Necropsy of the decedent animals revealed black discolored spleen, stomach filled with gas, diffuse reddening of the stomach mucosa and detachment of the stomach and small intestine mucosa as well as blood in the small intestine, small intestine filled with dark yellow mucous, urine bladder filled with dark red fluid, positive test of blood in urine, abdominal cavity filled with light red fluid. The animals killed at the end of the observation period showed no macroscopically visible changes.
