IN-LIFE DATES: From: To:
Route of administration:
oral: gavage
Vehicle:
other: methylcellulose
Details on oral exposure:
The administration was performed in a single dose by oral route using a metal gavage tube fitted to a 5 ml glass syringe (0.05 ml graduations).
The volume adminitered to each animal was adjusted according to body weight determined on the day of treatment (Volume administered: 10 ml/kg).
Doses:
2000 mg/kg
No. of animals per sex per dose:
5 males + 5 females per group
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
- Clinical signs: examined frequently during the hours following administration of the test substance and then at least once a day until the end of experiment
- Mortality: recorded at least twice a day
- Body weight: measured just before administration then on days 8 and 15. The body weight gain of the treated animals was compared to that of CIT control animals with similar initial body weight.
- Necropsy:
. macroscopic examination of the main organs: digestive tract, heart, kidneys, liver, lungs, pancreas, spleen and any other organs with obvious abnormalities.
. microscopic examination: no
Statistics:
no data
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 2 000 mg/kg bw
Remarks on result:
other: only one female died
Mortality:
1 female died on day 1, with 30 minutes following treatment. No clinical signs were observed prior to death.
Clinical signs:
other: No clinical signs occurred in treated animal.
Gross pathology:
Macroscopic examination of the main organs of the animals revealed no apparent abnormalities.

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Under these experimental conditions, the oral LD50 of CDBC is higher than 2000 mg/kg bw in rat.
Executive summary:

The acute oral toxicity of the test substance CDBC was evaluated in rats according to OECD (401) and EC guidelines, and in compliance of GLP. The test substance was administered by oral route (gavage) to one group of ten fasted rats (5 males and 5 females). The test substance was prepared in 0.5 % methylcellulose and was administered to the animals at the dose of 2000 mg/kg, under a volume of 10 ml/kg. Clinical signs, mortality and bodyweight gain were checked for a period of up to 14 days following the single administration of the test substance. All animals were subjected to necropsy.

one female died on day 1, within 30 minutes following treatment. No clinical signs were observed prior to death. No clinical signs and no deaths occurred in the other treatment animals. The body weight gain of the surviving animals was similar to that of historical control animals. No apparent abnormalities were observed at necropsy in any animal.

Under these experimental conditions, the oral LD50 of CDBC is higher than 2000 mg/kg bw in rat.

Additional information

Acute oral toxicity (Manciaux 2001):


The acute oral toxicity of the test substance CDBC was evaluated in rats according to OECD (401) and EC guidelines, and in compliance of GLP. The test substance was administered by oral route (gavage) to one group of ten fasted rats (5 males and 5 females). The test substance was prepared in 0.5 % methylcellulose and was administered to the animals at the dose of 2000 mg/kg, under a volume of 10 ml/kg.


One female died on day 1, within 30 minutes following treatment. No clinical signs were observed prior to death. No clinical signs and no deaths occurred in the other treatment animals. The body weight gain of the surviving animals was similar to that of historical control animals. No apparent abnormalities were observed at necropsy in any animal.


Under these experimental conditions, the oral LD50 of CDBC is higher than 2000 mg/kg bw in rat.
