Results and discussion

Effect levels

Key result

Sex:

male/female

Dose descriptor:

LD50

Effect level:

> 2 000 mg/kg bw

Based on:

test mat.

Mortality:

All the rats survived the observation period.

Clinical signs:

No intoxication symptoms were seen.

Body weight:

Body weight development of treated and control rats was normal.

Gross pathology:

In the rats which were all sacrificed at the end of the observation period no organ alterations were seen.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

Based on the result of this study, it is concluded, that the test item has no acute toxic potential and that the LD50 value is higher than 2000 mg/kg bw following oral treatment in rats.

Executive summary:

In an acute oral toxicity study according to OECD 401, groups (5/sex) of Wistar Chbb: THOM rats, were given a single oral dose of the test item in methylcellulose at doses of 2000 mg/kg bw per gavage and observed for 15 days. The limit test with 2000 mg/kg showed no mortality. Body weight development of treated and control rats was normal. No abnormalities were detected during gross pathological examinations. For both sexes the LD50 was therefore determined to be > 2000 mg/kg bw.
