The body weight changes were analyzed using the Student’s t-test.

Results and discussion

Effect levels

Sex:

male/female

Dose descriptor:

LD50

Effect level:

>= 1 000 - <= 2 000 mg/kg bw

Mortality:

During the observation period, all males and four females died at both 2,000 and 3,000 mg/kg bw.

Clinical signs:

other: In case of dead rats, the paralysis of forelimb and hindlimb, cloudy eyeball, and lacrimation on day 2 after the administration were observed in those groups. The slight paralysis of hindlimb was observed in 2 males and 2 females at 1,000 mg/kg bw and 1 f

Gross pathology:

Dead animals of the 2,000 and 3,000 mg/kg groups showed dark-red discoloration of the brain and lung, and the atrophic thymus and spleen. In scheduled necropsy, however, no macroscopic abnormalities were seen in the surviving animals.

Other findings:

None

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

The acute oral toxicity of OBSH was assessed in rats following a single administration of OBSH. The study was performed in compliance with OECD guideline 401. The acute oral median lethal dose (LD50) of OBSH was estimated to be between 1000 and 2000 mg/kg bw under the test conditions.
According to CLP criteria OBSH should be classified as Acute tox 4; H302.

Executive summary:

This study was conducted to assess the acute toxicity of OBSH following a single oral administration of 0, 1000, 2000 and 3000 mg/kg bw. This study is performed in accordance with the testing guideline OECD (401).

Groups of five males and five female fasted rats were given OBSH as a single dose on Day 1 by oral gavage at a dose level of 0, 1000, 2000 and 3000 mg/kg. OBSH was administrated in corn oil.

Following a single administration of OBSH to rats, the acute median lethal oral dose for male and female rats was estimated to be between 1000 and 2000 mg/kg bw under the test conditions.

According to CLP criteria OBSH should be classified as Acute tox 4; H302.
