Acute Toxicity: oral

Administrative data

Endpoint:

acute toxicity: oral

Type of information:

other: read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)

Adequacy of study:

key study

Study period:

From January 8 to 22, 1985

Reliability:

2 (reliable with restrictions)

Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:

study well documented, meets generally accepted scientific principles, acceptable for assessment

Remarks:

Source study has reliability 2. The use of a read across approach is considered as acceptable, since target and read across substance differ only in the type of salification, i.e. potassium and sodium salt vs. disodium salt.

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:

oral: gavage

Vehicle:

water

Details on oral exposure:

MAXIMUM DOSE VOLUME APPLIED: 20 ml/kg

Doses:

5000 mg/kg

No. of animals per sex per dose:

5

Details on study design:

On the day of application, the animals were inspected several times a day (once on weekends and holidays) twice a day for the following 14-day observation period, recording the type, onset, duration and intensity of the clinical symptoms and possibly removing dead animals.
At the application, after 1 week and at the end of the 14-day observation period, the surviving animals were individually weighed.
All animals killed at the end of the experiment were dissected and assessed pathologically and anatomically.

Executive summary:

Method

Acute oral toxicity in rats was assessed after a single oral dose of 5000 mg/kg by gavage. 5 rat/sex were used; observations were carried out for 14 days after dosing.

Results

No mortality occurred; no toxic symptoms were recorded.

LD0 = 5000 mg/kg bw, LD50 > 5000 mg/kg bw.
