oral: gavage

Vehicle:

water

Details on oral exposure:

VEHICLE
- Concentration in vehicle: 200 mg/mL
- Amount of vehicle (if gavage): 10 mL/kg body weight.
- Justification for choice of vehicle: no data

MAXIMUM DOSE VOLUME APPLIED: The exact amount of the test substance to be dosed was calculated for each animal individually.

CLASS METHOD (if applicable)
- Rationale for the selection of the starting dose: not given

Doses:

2000 mg/kg bw

No. of animals per sex per dose:

3

Control animals:

no

Details on study design:

- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of weighing: day 0, 3, 7, 14
- Frequency of observations: All visible reactions to treatment were recorded, including type, severity, onset and duration. Observations were made within 1 hour and within 4 houes after dosing, and subsequently at least once daily throughout an observation period of 14 days.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes

Results and discussion

Preliminary study:

The study was started with treatment of three females with a 2000 mg/kg body weight dose level. Since all females survived the first days after treatment, it was decided to continue treatment with 3 males dosed with the 2000 mg/kg dose level.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

not classified

Remarks:

Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: other: CLP, EU GHS (Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008)

Conclusions:

Aluminium-L-lactate is practically nontoxic based on the oral LD50 (males/females) in rats of greater than 2000 mg/kg body weight (corresponding to 183.4 mg Al3+/kg bw).

Executive summary:

In an acute oral toxicity study (limit test, according to OECD guideline 423, adopted March 22, 1996), 3 male and 3 female Wistar rats were given a single oral dose of Aluminium-L-lactate in water of 2000 mg/kg bw (corresponding to 183.4 mg Al3+/kg bw, considering an amount of 9.17% Aluminium in Aluminium-L-lactate) and observed for 14 days.

No animal died in this study. No clinical signs or effects on body weight were observed. Gross pathological examinations at 14 days p.a. (terminal necropsy) revealed no test substance-dependent findings.
