Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

other: Not classified

Conclusions:

From the results obtained from present investigation, the LD50 value was considered to be >2000 mg/kg bw. Thus, it can be concluded that the test chemical is non toxic to Wistar albino rats. CLP classification "Not classified"

Executive summary:

The acute oral toxicity study was conducted under the OECD Guideline-423 for testing of chemicals in wistar albino rats. The healthy wistar albino rats of body weight 200±20 gm were selected for study after acclimatization to standard laboratory condition and divided into test compound and vehicle control group each having three animals. The study was conducted stepwise as follow:

Starting dose 2000 mg/kg body weight: Step-I -  The test compound was mixed with distilled water and administered orally at the dose level of 2000 mg/kg body weight (dose volume 10ml/kg) to three female rats. However; vehicle control group treated with the distilled water at the dose level of 10 ml/kg b.wt.  The treated animals were closely observed for clinical signs of intoxication during first four hours of test compound administration. Thereafter, all the animals were observed periodically at one hour interval for 24 hrs and twice daily for a period of 14 days.  The necropsy was performed on all animals at the termination of the study.

The test compound did not elicit any clinical signs of intoxication throughout the period of observation at the tested dose level 2000 mg/kg body weight. Furthermore, no mortality was recorded at test dose level. Vehicle control group of animals were also free from any mortality and clinical signs. The necropsy finding did not reveal any gross pathological changes at the tested dose level. Furthermore, no gross pathological change was observed in vehicle control group.

Step -II: After 72 hrs, the result of step-I was confirmed by administration of same dose level (2000 mg/kg. b.wt) of test compound in additional three animals of same sex (OECD-423 guidelines) under same test condition.

The test compound administered at the dose level of 2000 mg/kg b.wt did not produce any mortality and clinical sign of intoxication throughout the observation period of 14 days. Body weight of each rat was also recorded on day 7th and 14th showed normal gain as compared to control group. Necropsy was conducted at the end of the study (15th day) on all the animals which did not reveal any gross pathological changes.

From the results obtained from present investigation, the LD50 value was considered to be >2000 mg/kg bw. Thus,  it can be concluded that the test chemical is non toxic to Wistar albino rats. CLP classification "Not classified"
