- Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
- Animals were obtained from Charles River UK Ltd. Margate, Kent, and conditioned at least 3 days prior to the experiments. Body weigths were between 190 and 270 grams.
With the exeption of the overnight fast, 18-20 hours before treatment, the animals were allowed free access to filtered tapwater and food, rat and mouse No.1 expanded diet from B.P. Nutrition U.K. Ltd., Witham, Essex.
All animals were housed in a single air-conditioned room, at 22+/- 3 degrees celcius, and relative humidity 50% +/- 10%, exposed to natural light conditions.
Animals were caged in groups of two by sex in rangefinding study and five by sex in main study in polypropylene boxes with softwood sawdust,
sawdust was replaced twice weekly
Administration / exposure
- Route of administration:
- oral: gavage
- Vehicle:
- water
- Details on oral exposure:
- The substance was given as 10% solution in water, by oral gavage with a metal stomach tube

Results and discussion
Effect levels
- Sex:
- male/female
- Dose descriptor:
- LD50
- Effect level:
- 0.39 other: g/kg
- Based on:
- test mat.
- 95% CL:
- > 0.33 - < 0.46
- Mortality:
- Mortality in dose range finding study; Males; 50%, 100%,100% and 100%, for 0.5,1.0,2.0 and 4.0 g/kg bw, respectively
Mortality in dose range finding study; Females; 50%, 100%,100% and 100%, for 0.5,1.0,2.0 and 4.0 g/kg bw, respectively
Mortality in main study; Of the observed 24 deaths, 18 were observed between 24 and 48 hours. Mortality observed was 10%,40% 100% and 90%, for 0.26, 0.37, 0.52 and 0.73 g/kg bw, respectively. - Clinical signs:
- other: All animals except in the lowest dose, 0.26 g/kg bw were subdued and lethargic within 15 min of treatment, this behaviour, together with hunched posture was still apparent up to 7 days later. Rats treated with 0.73 g/kg bw also showed piloerection and l
- Gross pathology:
- One female and one male survivor, from the lowest dose and the one female survivor dosed with 0.73 g/kg bw, showed no macroscopic abnormalities
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- toxic
- Remarks:
- Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
- Conclusions:
- The acute oral LD50 value was calculated to 0.39 g/kg bw, for rats. The 96% confidence limit was 0.33-0.46 g/kg bw.
- Executive summary:
A study on the acute toxicity of tetradonium bromide on rats, was performed. A dose ranging study indicated a LD50 of approximately 0.5 g/kg bw, and the selected dosing for the main study was therefore 0.26, 0.37, 0.52 and 0.73 g/kg bw, respectively. 10 rats (five males and five females) were exposed to each dose, by oral gavage, and observed after 15, 30, 60 minutes, and 2 and 4 hours after treatment, and subsequently once daily. 18 of the observed 24 death occured between 24 and 48 hours. The LD50 was calculated by Finneys Probit Method to 0.39 g/kg bw, with the 95% confidence limit of 0.33 -0.46 g/kg bw.
