Principles of method if other than guideline:
In this acute oral toxicity study, no details test guideline was presented. However, it is indicated that 10 animals (unspecified sex) per dose and 4 dose levels: 1730 mg/kg, 2470 mg/kg, 3510 mg/kg, and 5000 mg/kg. The results provided were: mortality, time of death of individual animals at different dose levels, signs of toxicity at each dose, and necropsy findings at each dose.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: Not classified according to CLP
Conclusions:
The acute median lethal oral doses (LD50) and their 95% confidence limits to rats of test substance was estimated to be:
LD 50: 3900 mg/kg bw (2900 - 5100 mg/kg bw; 95% C.I)
Executive summary:

In an acute oral toxicity study (1699 02/03), 40 rats (10 per group) were given single oral doses of Trigustral at 1730, 2470, 3510 and 5000 mg/kg bw and observed after dosing.


 


Oral LD 50: 3900 mg/kg bw (2900 - 5100 mg/kg bw; 95% C.I)


 


The following treatment-related effects were noted: clincal signs (lethargy, diarrhea with piloerection, chromorhinorrhea and ptosis noted with higher doses); mortality (at the lowest dosage, 3/10 animals dies; at the highest dosage, only one animal survived during 4 days observation period); necropsy observations (intestines, liver, lungs, kidney and spleen showed abnormalities that appeared dose related. The stomach and bladder showed sporadic abnormalities).
