Dose Formulation
Dose levels are in terms of the test item as supplied by the sponsor.
The dose formulations were made shortly before each dosing occasion using a magnetic stirrer, a spatula and an Ultra-Turrax (Janke & Kunkel, D-79219 Staufen) as homogenizers.
The test item was first reduced into a fine powder using a mortar and a pestle. Thereafter, the test item was weighed into a tared glass beaker on a suitable precision balance and the vehicle was added (weight:volume).
Homogeneity of the test item in the vehicle was maintained during administration using a magnetic stirrer.

Treatment
The animals received a single dose of the test item by oral gavage administration at 2000 mg/kg body weight after being fasted for approximately 18 hours (access to water was permitted). Food was provided again approximately 3 hours after dosing.
The dosing volume was 10 mL/kg body weight.
Rationale: Oral administration was considered to be an appropriate application method as it is a possible route of human exposure during manufacture, handling and use of the test item.
Doses:
2000 mg/kg body weight
No. of animals per sex per dose:
3 females rats
Control animals:
yes
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 15 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing:
- Mortality / Viability: Daily during the acclimatization period, during the first 30 minutes and at approximately 1, 2, 3 and 5 hours after administration on test day 1 (with the clinical signs) and twice daily during days 2-15. Body Weights On test days 1 (prior to administration), 8 and 15. Clinical Signs Daily during the acclimatization period, during the first 30 minutes and at approximately 1, 2, 3 and 5 hours after administration on test day 1. Once daily during days 2-15.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes, All animals were killed at the end of the observation period by Carbon dioxide asphyxiation and discarded after macroscopic examinations were performed. No organs or tissues were retained.
- Other examinations performed: clinical signs, body weight.
Statistics:
No statistical analysis was used.

Executive summary:

The purpose of this study was to assess the acute toxicity of the test substance when administered by a single oral gavage to rats, followed by an observation period of 14 days.

Two groups, each of three female HanRcc:WIST (SPF) rats, were treated with the test item by oral gavage administration at a dosage of 2000 mg/kg body weight. The

test item was diluted in vehicle (corn oil) at a concentration of 0.2 g/mL and administered at a dosing volume of 10 mL/kg.

The animals were examined daily during the acclimatization period and mortality, viability and clinical signs were recorded.

All animals were examined for clinical signs within the first 30 minutes and approximately 1, 2, 3 and 5 hours after treatment on day 1 and once daily during test days 2-15. Mortality/viability was recorded at approximately 30 minutes, 1, 2, 3 and 5 hours after administration on test day 1 (with the clinical signs) and twice daily during days 2-15. Body weights were recorded on day 1 (prior to administration) and on days 8 and 15. All animals were necropsied and examined macroscopically.

All animals survived until the end of the study period.

No clinical signs were observed during the course of the study.

The body weight of the animals was within the range commonly recorded for this strain and age.

No macroscopic findings were recorded at necropsy.

The median lethal dose of the test item after single oral administration to female rats, observed over a period of 14 days is:

LD50 (female rat): greater than 2000 mg/kg body weight
