Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
LD50 in male rats: > 2000 mg/kg body weight
LD50 in female rats: > 1000, approx. 2000 mg/kg body weight
LD50 in rats of both sexes: > 2000 mg/kg body weight
Executive summary:

In an acute oral toxicity study (performed according to the OECD guideline 401), groups of young adult albino rats (Tif: RAI f (SPF)) of both sexes were given a single oral dose by gastric intubation of CA 1139 A in 0.5% (w/v) carboxymethylcellulose (in 0.1% (w/v) aqueous polysorbate 80) at doses of 1000 and 2000 mg/kg bw and observed for 14 days.

The following LD50 was determined for CA 1139 A:

LD50 in male rats: > 2000 mg/kg body weight

LD50 in female rats: > 1000, approx. 2000 mg/kg body weight

LD50 in rats of both sexes: > 2000 mg/kg body weight

Piloerection, hunched posture, and dyspnea were seen, being common symptoms in acute tests. Additionally, reduced locomotor activity was observed in all animals. In the females dosed 1000 mg/kg tremor, ataxia and respiratory sounds were noticed. In one female dosed with 2000 mg/kg tonic spasms were observed.

One female dosed with 1000 and one male and two females dosed with 2000 mg/kg died spontaneously within two days after administration.

The animals recovered within 4 to 7 days.

At necropsy, a spotted thymus was found in one female dosed with 2000 mg/kg. No deviations from normal morphology were found in the remaining animals.
