male/female

Dose descriptor:

LD50

Effect level:

> 10 000 mg/kg bw

Based on:

test mat.

Mortality:

after 10000 mg/kg bw 1 animal died on day 4.

Clinical signs:

other: Immediately after application animals showed a squatting posture, accelerated, partly irregular, respiration and loss of hair in all groups. Symptom disappeared after several days in all groups.

Gross pathology:

at 10000 mg/kg: loss of perirenal fat and greenish discoloration of kidneys
at 8000 mg/kg: loss of perirenal fat.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

Even at the extreme doses above 3200 mg/kg bw only minor signs of toxicity were observed. The LD50 was clearly above 10000 mg/kg bw.

Executive summary:

After single oral gavage to rats at doses up to 10000 mg/kg the test material did cause only slight impairments of the general condition of the animals. One death was observed at the highest dose after 4 days. Clinical signs were limited to a squatting posture, accelerated, partly irregular respiration for few days after treatment. At necropsy loss of perirenal fat and discoloration of the kidneys was observed at 8000 mg/kg and above.

The LD50 was clearly above 10000 mg/kg bw.
