other: Tif:RAIf
Sex:
male/female
Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
Male and female rats (7 to 8 weeks old) raised on the premises were used for these experiments.. They were kept at a room temperature of 22 +/- 2° C, at a relative humidity of 55 +/- 10 % and on a 10 hours light cycle day. They received ad libitum rat food -NAFAG, Gossau SG - and water. Prior to treatment the animals were adapted to the laboratories for a minimum of 4 days. Bodyweights were recorded immediately prior to dosing (control weights) and at 7 and 14 days.During the treatment and observation period the animals were housed in groups of 5 in Macrolon cages (type 3), individually marked with picricacid.

Animals were fasted overnight and gavaged once
Doses:
4000,5000,6000 and 8000 mg/kg

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: not classified, Regulation 1272/2008
Remarks:
Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The test item was tested for acute toxicity. Under the experimental conditions the LD50 > 8000 mg/kg.
Executive summary:

The test item was tested for acute toxicity. Groups of five males and five females were gavaged once at 4000, 5000, 6000 and 8000 mg/kg and observed for 14 days for death, clinical signs and gross patology. Under the experimental conditions the LD50 > 8000 mg/kg.
