Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
oral LD50 (male, female) > 2000 mg/kg bw
Executive summary:

In an acute oral toxicity study (screening test), groups of Wistar rats (1/sex) were given a single oral dose of HPG-ds (potassium (R)-(4-hydroxyphenyl)[(3-methoxy-1-methyl-3-oxoprop-1-enyl)amino]acetate) in corn oil at doses of 200, 1000 and 2000 mg/kg bw and observed for 14 days.

 

Oral LD50 (male/female) > 2000 mg/kg (no mortality observed)

 

Piloerection and hunched posture were observed on days 3 and 4. No other clinical sign was observed. No abnormalities were observed on body weight or at necropsy.

 

HPG-ds (potassium (R)-(4-hydroxyphenyl)[(3-methoxy-1-methyl-3-oxoprop-1-enyl)amino]acetate) is of low toxicity based on the LD50 in males and females. It is not classified as dangerous according to EU criteria.
