Administration / exposure

Route of administration:

oral: gavage

Vehicle:

corn oil

Details on oral exposure:

VEHICLE
- Lot no.: MKCG3257

MAXIMUM DOSE VOLUME APPLIED: 5 mL/kg

DOSAGE PREPARATION: The required amount of the test substance was weighed on an electronic balance and placed in a glass bottle. A small amount of vehicle, corn oil, was added and mixed using a vortex mixer until dissolved. The vehicle was gradually added to yield the desired concentration. All preparations were conducted just prior to use.

CLASS METHOD
- Rationale for the selection of the starting dose: IDue to the low expected toxicity of the test substance, 2,000 mg/kg was selected as the starting dose for this study

Doses:

Groups 1 and 2 (Steps 1 and 2): 2,000 mg/kg of the test substance
Steps 1−2: A dose of 2,000 mg/kg was administered and no mortality was observed (Step 1). A second dose of 2,000 mg/kg was administered. Again, no mortality was observed (Step 2).

No. of animals per sex per dose:

3 females/group, two steps

Control animals:

no

Details on study design:

- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: observations - at 30 minutes after dosing and at 1, 2, 4 and 6 hours after dosing on Day 0 and once daily thereafter for 14 days; weighing - prior to dosing on Day 0 and on Days 1, 3, 7 and on the day of necropsy (Day 14)
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes

>= 5 000 mg/kg bw

Based on:

test mat.

Mortality:

There were no deaths of animals at 2000 mg/kg throughout the study.

Clinical signs:

other: Abnormal gait was observed in 2 animals at 2000 mg/kg at 6 hours after dosing. Mucous stool was observed in 4 animals on Day 1, and they disappeared on Day 2.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

Based on the result of the acute oral toxicity study in Sprague-Dawley rats, the median lethal dose derived for the test substance was LD50 ≥ 5000 mg/kg bw.

Executive summary:

A study was performed to assess the acute oral toxicity of the test item following a single oral administration to the Sprague-Dawley (Crl:CD(SD)) female rats. The test was performed according to OECD 423 "Acute Oral Toxicity - Acute Toxic Class Method", EU Method B1 tris and “Regulation on Test Methods for Chemical Substances” Notification No. 2018-12, National Institute of Environmental Research, Republic of Korea (Apr. 9, 2018). 2000 mg/kg bw was selected as the starting dose. A group of three fasted females was treated with the starting dose. This was followed by another group of three fasted females at the same dose level. The test item was administered orally via gastric intubation, diluted in corn oil. The animals were observed 30 min, 1, 2, 4 and 6 hours after dosing and then once daily for fourteen days. Bodyweights were recorded on the day of dosing and on Days 1, 3, 7 and 14. At the end of the observation period all animals were anesthetized with CO2 and exsanguinated from the abdominal aorta and subjected to complete gross necropsy. There were no deaths during the study. Abnormal gait was observed in 2 animals at 2,000 mg/kg at 6 hours after dosing. Mucous stool was observed in 4 animals on Day 1, and they disappeared on Day 2. No other adverse clinical signs were noted. All animals showed expected gains in bodyweight over the study period. No abnormalities were noted at necropsy. The acute oral LD50 of the test item in the Sprague-Dawley rat, was estimated as being greater than 5000 mg/kg bw as no mortalities were noted in animals treated with 2000 mg/kg bw.
