Test animals

Species:
rat
Strain:
Sprague-Dawley
Sex:
male/female
Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
Young adult rats aquired from Charles River Laboratories, Wilmington, Mass. Acclimated for 5 days prior to use. Individually identified by metal ear tag.

Separate isolation by test system. Light cycle: 12 hr light, 12 hr dark. Temperature/humidity: maintained at 22°C ± 3°C and 30 to 70% humidity. Rats housed individually in stainless steel ½ “ wire mesh cages sized in accordance with “Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals” of the Institute of Laboratory Resources, National Research Council. Waste material removed twice weekly. Cages and feeder sanitized every 2 weeks. Wayne Lab Blox, ad libitum, checked daily and added or replaced as needed. Fresh tap water ad libitum.

Fasted overnight prior to adminstration of test material.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
practically nontoxic
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: expert judgment
Conclusions:
The oral LD50 in the rat was > 5000 mg/kg, the highest dose tested.
Executive summary:

In a limit test, the test article was administered orally by gavage to one group of 10 Sprague Dawley rats (5 males and 5 females) at a single dose level of 5,000 mg/kg. The rats were observed at one, four and twenty-four hours after dosing and once daily for 14 days. No clinical signs of test article-related toxicity were observed. None of the animals died during the study. No gross lesions were observed at necropsy (animals were sacrificed by CO2 inhalation at the end of the observation period). The oral LD50 was greater than 5,000 mg/kg.
