HUSBANDRY
- Room N°: 104 / RCC Ltd, Füllinsdorf.
- Conditions: Standard Laboratory Conditions
Air-conditioned with 10-15 air changes per hour and continuously monitored environment with a target range for room temperature of 22 ± 3 °C, and for relative humidity between 32-45 %. The animals were provided with a 12-hour artificial fluorescent light, 12-hour dark cycle. Music was played during the light period.
- Accommodations: Groups of three in Makrolon type-4 cages with standard softwood bedding ("Lignocel", Schill AG, CH-4132 Muttenz).
- Diet:Pelleted standard Kliba 3433, batch nos. 40/99 and 43/99 rat maintenance diet (Provimi Kliba AG, CH-4303 Kaiseraugst) available ad libitum (except for the overnight fasting period prior to intubation). Results of analyses for contaminants are archived at RCC Ltd, Itingen.
- Water: Community tap water from Füllinsdorf, available ad libitum. Results of bacteriological, chemical and contaminant analyses are archived at RCC Ltd, Itingen.

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:

oral: gavage

Vehicle:

other: PEG 300

Details on oral exposure:

The animals received a single dose of the test article on a 2000 mg/kg bw basis by oral gavage following fasting for approximately 18 (males) to 24 (females) hours, but with free access to water. Food was provided again approximately 3 (males) to 4 (females) hours after dosing.

Doses:

2000 mg/kg bw

No. of animals per sex per dose:

3 males and 3 females

Control animals:

no

Details on study design:

OBSERVATIONS:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days.
- Mortality / Viability: One, two, three and five hours after test article administration on test day 1 and once daily for surviving animals during days
2-15.
- Body weights: On test days 1 (pre-administration), 8 and 15 for surviving animals.
- Clinical signs: Each animal was examined for changes in appearance and behaviour four times during day 1, and once daily for surviving animals
during days 2-15. All abnormalities were recorded.
- Necropsy: Animals which died spontaneously during the observation period were necropsied as soon as they were found dead. At the end of the observation period all surviving animals were sacrificed by intraperitoneal injection of NARCOREN at a dose of at least 2.0 ml/kg bw. The animals were examined macroscopically and all abnormalities recorded.

Statistics:

The toxicity was estimated without the use of a statistical model.

Mortality:

The following mortality was observed:
- Males: 0 % (no mortality)
- Females: 33 % (1 out of 3)

Clinical signs:

other: Ruffled fur was observed on test day one in all male animals. Ruffled fur, weak activity and/or emaciation were noted in all females from test day 5 to test day 11. Red to light red urine was observed in the cage of the male and female animals.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

The median lethal dose of FAT 93504/A after single oral administration to rats of both sexes, observed over a period of 14 days is >2000 mg/kg bw.

Executive summary:

The purpose of this was to assess the acute oral toxicity of FAT 93504/A when administered by single oral gavage to rats, followed by an observation period of 14 days. This experiment was done according to the OECD Guideline 423 (Acute Oral toxicity - Acute Toxic Class Method). This study should provide a rational basis for risk assessment. Two groups, each using three male or three female Hanlbm: WIST (SPF) rats was treated with FAT 93504/A at 2000 mg/kg by oral gavage. The test article was suspended in vehicle (PEG 300) at a concentration of 0.2 g/ml and administered at a volume of 10 ml/kg. The animals were examined for clinical signs four times during test day 1 and once daily during test days 2-15. Mortality/viability were recorded together with clinical signs at the same time intervals. Body weights were recorded on day 1 prior to administration and on days 8 and 15. All animals were necropsied and examined macroscopically. 

The following animals were treated and percentage mortality was observed:

Group 1: (2000 mg/kg bw)

Males: 0 %

Females: 33 %

One female died spontaneously on test day 9.

Ruffled fur was observed on test day one in all male animals. Ruffled fur, weak activity and/or emaciation were noted in all females from test day 5 to test day 11. Red to light red urine was observed in the cage of the male and female animals.

All three females showed a marked loss of body weight (23.7, 26.5 and 28 %) one week after treatment. The body weight of the males was within the range commonly recorded for animals of this strain and age. Dark red discoloration of the digestive system was observed at the unscheduled necropsy of one female. No macroscopic findings were observed at scheduled necropsy.

In conclusion, the median lethal dose of FAT 93504/A after single oral administration to rats of both sexes, observed over a period of 14 days is >2000 mg/kg bw.
