- arachis oil
- Remarks:
- Used for the 300 mg/kg dose level only.

MAXIMUM DOSE VOLUME APPLIED:
10 ml/kg for 300 mg/kg dose level. 2.11 ml/kg for 2000 mg/kg dose level.
DOSAGE PREPARATION:
For the purpose of the 2000 mg/kg dose level, the test item was used as supplied. The specific gravity was determined and used to calculate the appropriate dose volume for the required dose level. For the purpose of the 300 mg/kg dose level, the test item was freshly prepared, as required, as a solution at the appropriate concentration in arachis oil BP.
The test item was formulated within approximately two hours of being applied to the test system. It is assumed that the formulation was stable for this duration.
CLASS METHOD (if applicable)
- Rationale for the selection of the starting dose: In the absence of data regarding the toxicity of the test item, 300 mg/kg was chosen as the starting dose. - Doses:
- 300 mg/kg and 2000 mg/kg
- No. of animals per sex per dose:
- 3 females at 300 mg/kg
9 females at 2000 mg/kg - Control animals:
- no
- Details on study design:
- - Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: The animals were observed for deaths or overt signs of toxicity ½, 1, 2 and 4 hours after dosing and subsequently once daily for up to fourteen days. Due to a technician error, the second group of animals treated at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg were killed on Day 7. A third group of animals was therefore treated at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg.
Individual bodyweights were recorded prior to dosing and seven and fourteen days after treatment or at death.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes; At the end of the observation period the surviving animals were killed by cervical dislocation. All animals were subjected to gross pathological examination. This consisted of an external examination and opening of the abdominal and thoracic cavities for examination of major organs. The appearance of any macroscopic abnormalities was recorded. No tissues were retained. - Statistics:

Method.
A group of three fasted females was treated with the test item at a dose level of 300 mg/kg bodyweight. Based on the results from this dose level further groups of fasted females were treated at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg bodyweight. Dosing was performed sequentially.
The test item was administered orally undiluted or as a solution in arachis oil BP. Clinical signs and bodyweight development were monitored during the study. All animals were subjected to gross necropsy.
Mortality.
There were no deaths.
Clinical Observations.
There were no signs of systemic toxicity.
Bodyweight.
All animals showed expected gains in bodyweight over the study period.
Necropsy.
A cavity in the right kidney was noted at necropsy of one animal treated at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg. This was considered to be a genetic defect and not test item related No abnormalities were noted at necropsy of the remaining animals.
Conclusion.
The acute oral median lethal dose (LD50) of the test item in the female Wistar strain rat was estimated to be greater than 2500 mg/kg bodyweight (Globally Harmonised Classification System – Unclassified).
The test item does not meet the criteria for classification according to the Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, relating to the Classification, Labelling and Packaging of Dangerous Substances.

Dose volume: 2.12 ml/kg
Number of rats: 5 male and 5 female
The calculated volume of test item, as received, was applied as evenly as possible to an area of shorn skin (approximately 10% of the total body surface area) using a graduated syringe. A piece of surgical gauze was placed over the treatment area and semi-occluded with a piece of self-adhesive bandage. The animals were caged individually for the 24-Hour exposure period. Shortly after dosing the dressings were examined to ensure that they were securely in place.
REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE:
