Executive summary:

Objective

The objective of the present study was to identify potential toxic effects of the test item after single oral administration to rats in a stepwise procedure.

Study Design

Following a sighting test at dose levels of 300 mg/kg b.w. and 2000 mg/kg b.w. in one female rat per dose group, a further group of four fasted females was given a single oral dose of the test material, as a formulation in corn oil, at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg body weight. Clinical signs and body weight development were monitored in all animals during the study. All animals were subjected to gross necropsy.

Results

Mortality: There were no deaths.

Clinical Observations: Transient piloerection was noted 4 hours after dosing in the animal treated at a dose level of 300 mg/kg. There were no signs of systemic toxicity noted in the remaining animals.

Body Weight: All animals showed expected gains in body weight.

Necropsy: The uterus of the animal treated with 300 mg/kg was filled with liquid, indicative of unspecific changes during the physiological oestrous cycle. There were no signs of abnormalities noted at necropsy in the remaining animals.

Conclusion

Under the conditions of the present study, it is concluded that the test item has no acute toxic potential and that the LD50 value is higher than 2000 mg/kg bw after single oral administration in female rats.
