Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:

TEST ANIMALS
- Source: Charles River, Wilmington, Massachusetts
- Age at study initiation: 9 - 12 weeks
- Weight at study initiation: males: 273 - 338g, females: 227 - 256g
- Housing: groups of 6 animals during acclimatization, single during the study period in stainless steel cages with wire mesh bottoms
- Diet: ad lib.
- Water: ad lib.
- Acclimation period: 16 days

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 20 - 25
- Humidity (%): 30 - 70
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12/12

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:

intraperitoneal

Vehicle:

corn oil

Details on exposure:

After the initial range-finding study it was decided to dilute the material in corn oil to decrease the intraperitoneal irritation and to be consistent with previous intraperitoneal studies with similar materials. In this range finding study, one animal per sex and dose was exposed intraperitoneally to 50, 100, 500, 1000, 2000 mg/kg bw undiluted substance or to 10, 100, 1000 mg/kg test material diluted in corn oil. The concentration of the test material in corn oil was 0.1 g/mL.

Doses:

0, 25, 73, 214, 625 mg/kg bw

No. of animals per sex per dose:

5

Control animals:

yes

Details on study design:

- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations: Viability: twice daily
- Necropsy of survivors performed: no
- Clinical signs: 1, 2, 4h after dosing, daily thereafter; body weight: pre-dosing, days 7 + 14
- Gross pathology examinations of all animals on day of death or after euthanisation

Mortality:

25 mg/kg: 0/10
73 mg/kg: 0/10
214 mg/kg: 2/10 (2f)
625 mg/kg: 9/10 (4m, 5f)

Clinical signs:

- Antemortem in the 214 + 625 mg/kg groups: clonic convulsions, ataxia, flaccid limb and body tone, abnormal righting, visual placing, startle and toe pinch reflexes, persistent pupillary constriction with no light response.
- Occasional occurences of pupillary constriction with no light response were seen in survivors in the 25, 73, and 214 mg/kg groups. All surviving animals were free of signs by day 2

Body weight:

Comparable between survivors and controls

Gross pathology:

All animals which died, and some animals which were killed after 14 days exhibited several postmortem abnormalities, most notably in the abdominal viscera. Most of these appeared to represent irritation and/or infectious sequelae resulting from intraperitoneal injection of the vehicle and/or test material.
