Effect level:

Based on:
test mat.

All male animals died after application of 2000 mg/kg bw on day 1. After application of 200 mg/kg bw all male and female animals survived.

The main clinical findings were apathy, disturbances in position and in gait at 200 and 2000 mg/kg bw. Retarded respiration and eyelid closure were also observed after application of 2000 mg/kg bw. All surviving animals were without findings from day 2 onwards.

The body weight gain on days 7, 14 and 21 was within the normal range for rats of this age and strain, which are routinely used in the laboratory.

Autopsy revealed no compound-related findings.

Executive summary:

The acute oral toxicity of ZK 9340 was moderate with a LD50 > 300 - < 500 mg/kg bw in rats (cut-off value) according to OECD TG 423. All males died after administration of 2000 mg/kg bw. All males and females of the dose group 200 mg/kg bw survived. Clinical signs were observed at 200 mg/kg bw and above in both genders. Body weight development was not affected until 2000 mg/kg bw. Autopsy revealed no compound-related findings.

Additional information

The acute oral toxicity of ZK 9340 was moderate with a LD50 > 300 - < 500 mg/kg bw in rats (cut-off value) according to OECD TG 423 (Kurth, 1996). All males died after administration of 2000 mg/kg bw. All males and females of the dose group 200 mg/kg bw survived. Clinical signs were observed at 200 mg/kg bw and above in both genders. Body weight development was not affected until 2000 mg/kg bw. Autopsy revealed no compound-related findings.


Justification for selection of acute toxicity – oral endpoint
Only one study available

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the study results (oral LD50 cut-off value: > 300 - < 500 mg/kg bw ) a classification with R22 (harmful if swallowed) according to Directive 67/548/EEC or with Acute Toxicity Cat. 4 (H302:harmful if swallowed) according to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (CLP) is required.
