STABILITY AND STORAGE CONDITIONS OF TEST MATERIAL
- Storage condition of test material: Room temperature
- Solubility and stability of the test substance in the solvent/vehicle: Analysis of test item in vehicle for concentration, stability, homogeneity was not performed, however preparation was performed with approved procedure and documented in detail. Homogeneity was visually inspected prior to use.


TREATMENT OF TEST MATERIAL PRIOR TO TESTING
- Treatment of test material prior to testing: Test preparation material was kept at room temperature no more than 4 hours before animals were dosed. Preparations were stirred on magnetic stirrer during dosing.

Test animals

Species:

rat

Strain:

Wistar

Sex:

female

Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:

TEST ANIMALS
- Source: Wistar strain Crl:WI (Han) (outbred, SPF-Quality); Charles River Deutschland, Sulzfeld, Germany
- Age at study initiation: approximately 8 weeks
- Weight at study initiation: 143 - 161 grams
- Fasting period before study: animals were deprived of food overnight prior to dosing and until 3-4 hours after administration of the test item. Water was available ad libitum.
- Housing: group housing of 3 animals per cage in labeled Makrolon cages (MIV type; height 18 cm.) containing sterilized sawdust as bedding material (Lignocel S 8-15, JRS - J.Rettenmaier & Söhne GmbH + CO. KG, Rosenberg, Germany) and paper as cage-enrichment (Enviro-dri, Wm. Lillico & Son (Wonham Mill Ltd), Surrey, United Kingdom).
- Diet (e.g. ad libitum): ad libitum, free access to pelleted rodent diet
- Water (e.g. ad libitum): ad libitum, free access to tap water.
- Acclimation period: at least 5 days before start of treatment under laboratory conditions.


ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 18-24 °C
- Humidity (%): 40-70%
- Air changes (per hr): at least 10
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12/12

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:

oral: gavage

Vehicle:

propylene glycol

Details on oral exposure:

VEHICLE
- Concentration in vehicle: 200 mg/mL
- Justification for choice of vehicle: The vehicle was selected based on trial preparations performed at the testing laboratory and on test item data supplied by the Sponsor. The vehilce was chosen from: water (Elix) (test item did not dissolve), 1% aq. carboxymethyl cellulose (test item did not dissolve), propylene glycol (spec. gravity 1.036) (Turbid solution), polyethylene glycol 400 (spec. gravity 1.125) and corn oil (spec. gravity 0.92). There was no information available regarding the solubility or stability in vehicle.


MAXIMUM DOSE VOLUME APPLIED: 10 ml/kg

DOSAGE PREPARATION (if unusual):
- The preparations (w/w) were kept at room temperature and were dosed within 4 hours after adding the vehicle to the test item. Homogeneity was obtained to visually acceptable levels and the formulations were stirred during dosing, which ensures homogeneity sufficient for these kinds of studies.
- Adjustment was made for specific gravity of the vehicle. No correction was made for purity of the test item.

Doses:

2000 mg/kg (single dosage)

No. of animals per sex per dose:

3 females per dose

Control animals:

no

Details on study design:

- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days (until day 15)
- Frequency of observations and weighing:
mortality/viability: twice daily
body weights: days 1 (pre-administration), 8 and 15
clinical signs: at periodic intervals on the day of dosing (day 1) and once daily thereafter, until day 15. The signs were graded according to fixed scales and the time of onset, degree and duration were recorded: maximum grade 4: grading slight (1) to very severe (4); maximum grade 3: grading slight (1) to severe (3); maximum grade 1: presence is scored (1).
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes, the moribund animals and animals surviving to the end of the observation period were sacrificed by oxygen/carbon dioxide procedure. All animals assigned to the study were subjected to necropsy and descriptions of all internal macroscopic abnormalities recorded.

Statistics:

No statistical analysis was performed.

Results and discussion

Effect levels

Key result

Sex:

female

Dose descriptor:

LD50

Effect level:

> 2 000 mg/kg bw

Based on:

test mat.

Mortality:

No mortality occurred
Number of dead animals in each test group with 3 animals each:
Females 2000 mg/kg: 0
Females 2000 mg/kg: 0

Clinical signs:

Lethargy, tremors, flat- and hunched posture, uncoordinated movements, abnormal gait, piloerection and/or ptosis were noted for all animals between Days 1 and 5.

Body weight:

The mean body weight gain shown by the surviving animals over the study period was considered to be similar to that expected for normal untreated animals of the same age and strain.

Gross pathology:

No abnormalities were found at macroscopic post mortem examination of all animals.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

Category 5 based on GHS criteria

Conclusions:

The oral LD50 value of T001592 in Wistar rats was established to exceed 2000 mg/kg body weight. According to OECD 423 test guideline, the LD50 cut-off value was considered to be 5000 mg/kg body weight.

Based on results, according to the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and labelling of Chemicals of the United Nations (2015) (including all amendments) T001592 should be classified as: may be harmful if swallowed (Catergory 5) for acute toxicity by the oral route. According to the Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 on classification, labelling and packing of substances and mixtures (including all amendments) T001592 does not have to be classified and has no obligatory labelling requirement for acute oral toxicity.
