MAXIMUM DOSE VOLUME APPLIED: 1 mL/100 g bw (i.e., 10 mL/kg bw)
DOSAGE PREPARATION: For treatment the test substance was applied in a concentration of 200 mg/mL in 1 % aqueous methylcellulose. Formulations were prepared just before the treatment.
CLASS METHOD (if applicable)
- Rationale for the selection of the starting dose: No mortality was expected at 2,000 mg/kg bw dose level, so this was chosen as the starting dose. - Doses:
- 2,000 mg/kg bw
- No. of animals per sex per dose:
- 6 animals (i.e., 3 animals/group)
- Details on study design:
- Test procedure
A single oral administration - followed by a 14 d observation period was performed by gavage. On the day before each treatment the animals were fasted. The food but not water was withheld during an overnight period. Animals were weighed just before the application. The test substance was administered by oral gavage in the morning hours. The food was given back 3 h after the treatment. A constant treatment volume of 1 mL/100 g bw was applied.
Three female animals were treated with a dose level of 2,000 mg/kg bw of test substance in the first step. All animals survived; so three further animals were dosed at 2,000 mg/kg bw dose level next day, as the second step. No mortality occurred in either step, so the test was finished meeting the stopping criteria ofguidelines.
Clinical Observations
Careful clinical observation was made once within the first 30 minutes, then 30 minutes, 1 h, 2 h, 3 h, 4 h, 6 h after the treatment and once each day for 14 d thereafter. Individual observations were performed on the skin, fur, eyes, mucous membranes, respiratory, circulatory, autonomic and central nervous system, somatomotor activity and behaviour pattern as well. Particular attention was directed to the observation of tremors, convulsions, salivation, diarrhea, lethargy, sleep and coma.
Body Weight Measurement
The body weight was recorded on Day 0 (shortly before the treatment), then on Days 7 and 14 with precision of 1g.
NECROPSY
All animals were subjected to gross pathology. Animals were exsanguinated under pentobarbital anesthesia. After examination of the external appearance the cranial, thoracic and abdominal cavities were opened and the appearance of the tissues and organs was observed. Abnormalities were recorded on post mortem data sheets. - Key result

A study was conducted to assess the acute oral toxicity of the test substance in CRL:(WI) BR female rats according to OECD Guideline 423, EPA OPPTS 870.1100 and EU Method B.1 tris, in compliance with GLP.
Group of three female rats received a single oral (gavage) dose of 2,000 mg/kg bw in a first and second step, respectively. A concentration of 200 mg/mL of test substance was prepared in 1 % aqueous rnethylcellulose and administered at a volume of 1 mL/100 g bw (i.e., 10 mL/kg bw).
No mortality occurred, no effect on body weight was observed and no significant macroscopic abnormalities were seen at necropsy. Except for slight diarrhoea in two animals from 2 h after the dosing to the end of the day, no clinical symptoms were observed in other animals.

- TEST SITE
The back of animals was shaven (approximately 10% area of the total body surface) 24 h prior to the treatment. The test substance was applied in a single dose in original form uniformly over the shaved skin throughout a 24 h exposure period. Sterile gauze pads were placed on the skin of rats. These gauzes were kept in contact with the skin by a patch with adhesive hypoallergenic plaster. The entire trunk of the animal was wrapped with semi occlusive plastic wrap for 24 h.
REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
At the end of the exposure period, residual test item was removed, using body temperature water.

A single administration was performed by dermal route and was followed by a 14 d observation period.
OBSERVATIONS
Clinical Observations
Careful clinical observation was made at the following intervals: 1h, 5h after the treatment and once each day for 14 d thereafter. Individual observations included the skin and fur, eyes and mucous membranes, and also respiratory, circulatory, autonomic and central nervous system, somatomotor activity and behaviour pattern as well. Particular attention was directed to the observation of tremors, convulsions, salivation, diarrhoea, lethargy, sleep and coma.
Body Weight Measurement
The body weight of each animal was recorded on Day 0 (shortly before the treatment), then on Days 7 and 14 with a precision of 1 g.
NECROPSY
At the end of the observation period gross pathology was conducted in every experimental animal. Animals were exsanguinated under pentobarbital anaesthesia. After examination of the external appearance, the cranial, thoracic, and abdominal cavities were opened and tissues, organs were observed. Gross pathological changes were recorded for each animal on the post mortem record sheets. - Key result

Groups of five female and five male rats received a single dermal dose of 2,000 mg/kg bw. Test substance moistened with 0.5 mL of distilled water was applied topically under semi-occlusive conditions for 24 h.
No mortality occurred, no clinical symptoms were observed and no significant macroscopic abnormalities were seen at necropsy. Body weight was also not impaired. Although, the skin of the animals was brownish coloured by the test substance and some small wounds were observed on the treated skin surface in three animals, skin recovered between Days 4 and 6.

Additional information
Oral route:
A study was conducted to assess the acute oral toxicity of the test substance in CRL:(WI) BR female rats according to OECD Guideline 423, EPA OPPTS 870.1100 and EU Method B.1 tris, in compliance with GLP. Group of three female rats received a single oral (gavage) dose of 2,000 mg/kg bw in a first and second step, respectively. A concentration of 200 mg/mL of test substance was prepared in 1 % aqueous rnethylcellulose and administered at a volume of 1 mL/100 g bw (i.e., 10 mL/kg bw). No mortality occurred, no effect on body weight was observed and no significant macroscopic abnormalities were seen at necropsy. Except for slight diarrhoea in two animals from 2 h after the dosing to the end of the day, no clinical symptoms were observed in other animals. Under the study conditions, the oral LD50 was found to be >2,000 mg/kg bw in rats (Szakonyi, 2005).
Dermal route:
A study was conducted to assess the acute dermal toxicity of the test substance in CRL:(WI) BR Wistar rats according to OECD Guideline 402, EU Method B.3. and EPA OPPTS 870.1200, in compliance with GLP. Groups of five female and five male rats received a single dermal dose of 2,000 mg/kg bw. Test substance moistened with 0.5 mL of distilled water was applied topically under semi-occlusive conditions for 24 h. No mortality occurred, no clinical symptoms were observed and no significant macroscopic abnormalities were seen at necropsy. Body weight was also not impaired. Although, the skin of the animals was brownish coloured by the test substance and some small wounds were observed on the treated skin surface in three animals, skin recovered between Days 4 and 6. Under the study conditions, the dermal LD50 of the test substance was found to be >2,000 mg/kg bw in rats (Szakonyi, 2006).
Justification for classification or non-classification
Oral route:
Based on the results of an acute oral toxicity study, the test substance does not need to be classified for acute toxicity according to the EU CLP criteria (EC 1272/2008).
Dermal route:
Based on the results of an acute dermal toxicity study, the test substance does not need to be classified for acute toxicity according to the EU CLP criteria (EC 1272/2008).
