Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
oral: gavage
Vehicle:
other: Helianthi Annui Oleum Raffinatum (sunflower oil)
Details on oral exposure:
VEHICLE
- Concentration in vehicle: 500 and 200 mg/mL
- Amount of vehicle (if gavage): 10 mL/kg bw
- Justification for choice of vehicle: The applied vehicle is one of the standard vehicles used in acute toxicity studies.
- Lot/batch no. (if required): 8001528001

MAXIMUM DOSE VOLUME APPLIED: 10 mL/kg bw

CLASS METHOD (if applicable)
- Rationale for the selection of the starting dose: The starting dose was selected on basis of the available information about the test item. The acute toxic class method was carried out involving a stepwise procedure (according to OECD 423) with the use of 5000 mg/kg bw as the starting dose in one female rat (group of 1st step). Due to the observed death of this female, dosing was proceeded at 2000 mg/kg bw in three females (group of 2nd step) in accordance with the flow charts provided in Annex 2 of OECD 423. No animal died in the second step at 2000 mg/kg bw dose level, so treatment with 2000 mg/kg bw was repeated on further three female rats (group of 3rd step). No animal died in the third step, and hence the test was finished.
Doses:
5000 and 2000 mg/kg bw
No. of animals per sex per dose:
1 animal for 5000 mg/kg bw
3 animals for 2000 mg/kg bw per step (6 in total)
Control animals:
no
Remarks:
not required
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing:
mortality: at least once during the first 30 minutes after substance application, then 1, 2, 3 and 4 h after gavage (all groups) and thereafter twice per day for 14 days (groups of 2nd + 3rd step)
general observations: at least once during first 30 minutes after substance application, then 1, 2, 3 and 4 h after gavage (all groups) and thereafter daily for 14 days (groups of 2nd + 3rd step)
weighing: on Day 0 (all groups), 7 and on Day 15 (groups of 2nd + 3rd step)
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes
- Other examinations performed: clinical signs, general state, external appearance, behavior, gross histopathology
Statistics:
No statistical anylysis were performed.

Results and discussion

Effect levels
Key result
Sex:
female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 2 000 - <= 5 000 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat. (dissolved fraction)
Mortality:
After administration of 5000 mg/kg bw, the test female died within 4 h after treatment. No mortality was observed after administration of 2000 mg/kg bw.
Clinical signs:
other: 5000 mg/kg bw, group of 1st step: On Day 1 (0.5 - 4 h after treatment) several clinical symptoms were observed: decreased activity (4 / 5 observations), vocalisation (3/5), tremor (1/5), abnormal gait (3/5), bedding digging (1/5), closed eyes (3/5), saliv
Gross pathology:
No pathological changes related to the test item were observed.

2000 mg/kg bw, group of 2nd step: In 2/3 animals moderate hydrometra was observed. Hydrometra is a physiological finding and connected to the cycle of the animal. Thus, the effect is not considered as treatment-related.
2000 mg/kg bw, group of 3rd step: In 1/3 animals moderate hydrometra was observed. 1/3 animals showed a colon full of gas, which is regarded as an individual variation. Most likely the observation is a consequence of the anaesthesia.
