- Weight at study initiation: 184-204 g
- Fasting period before study: overnight fast immediately before dosing and for approximately three to four hours after dosing§
- Housing: The animals were housed in groups of three in suspended solid-floor polypropylene cages furnished with woodflakes.

IN-LIFE DATES: From: 11 May 2004 To: 01 June 2004

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:

oral: gavage

Vehicle:

unchanged (no vehicle)

Details on oral exposure:

In the absence of data suggesting the test material was toxic, 2000 mg/kg bw was chosen as the starting dose (limit test).

Doses:

2000 mg/kg bw

No. of animals per sex per dose:

6 females (3+3)

Control animals:

no

Details on study design:

- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: The animals were observed for deaths or overt signs of toxicity ½, 1, 2 and 4 hours after dosing and subsequently once daily for fourteen days. Individual bodyweights were recorded prior to dosing and seven and fourteen days after treatment.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes
- Other examinations performed: Signs of systemic toxicity noted during the study were hunched posture, lethargy, ataxia, diarrhoea, pilo-erection, increased activity, pallor of the extremities, decreased respiratory rate and laboured respiration. Animals appeared normal two or three days after dosing.

Executive summary:

The study was performed to assess the acute oral toxicity of the test material following a single oral administration in the Sprague-Dawley CD strain rat. The method was designed to meet the requirements of the following method: OECD Guidelines for the Testing of Chemicals No. 423 “Acute Oral Toxicity – Acute Toxic Class Method” (adopted 17 December 2001).

In the absence of data suggesting the test material was toxic, a limit test at one dose level of 2000 mg/kg bw was carried out. A group of three fasted females was treated with the test material at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg bw. This was followed by a further group of three fasted females at the same dose level. The test material was administered orally undiluted. Clinical signs and bodyweight development were monitored during the study. All animals were subjected to gross necropsy.

There were no deaths. Signs of systemic toxicity noted during the study were hunched posture, lethargy, ataxia, diarrhoea, pilo-erection, and increased activity, pallor of the extremities, decreased respiratory rate and laboured respiration. Animals appeared normal two or three days after dosing. All animals showed expected gains in bodyweight over the study period. No abnormalities were noted at necropsy.

The acute oral median lethal dose (LD50) of the test material in the female Sprague-Dawley CD strain rat was estimated from the OECD Guideline 423 flow chart Test Procedure with a Starting Dose of 2000 mg/kg bw as being greater than 2500 mg/kg bw.

The test material does not meet the criteria for classification according to the annex VI of the Regulation EC No. 1272/2008 (CLP) and of the Directive 67/548/EEC.

This study is considered as acceptable and satisfies the requirement for acute oral toxicity endpoint.
