TEST ANIMALS
- Source: authorized provider.
- Health: rats were submitted to a sanitary control.
- Age at study initiation: young and healthy rats
- Housing: 3 rats for every cube of Makrolon (48 x 27 x 20 cm) by Tecniplast, with bed of woodchip. Each cube has been signed by label.
- Diet: free access to specific fodder for experimental rat, supplied by authorized provider
- Water: tap water ad libitum by Makrolon bottle
- Acclimatation period: 7 days

Before starting test each rat was marked by black pen on tail

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 21 ± 2
- Humidity (%): 55 ± 25
- Air changes (per hr): 15 air changes by pre-filtration of 5 µm
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12/12 by timer

OTHER
Materials used:
Balance: COBOS D 6000-SX
Vinyl/latex Gloves
Syringes of 1 and 2 ml

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:

oral: gavage

Vehicle:

water

Details on oral exposure:

PREPARATION/ADMINISTRATION OF TEST SUBSTANCE:
2000 mg of test substance were dissolved in 20 ml of water.
Administration: 2 ml/100 g of body weight. Forced administration by metallic cannula, after a fasting night.
Since 3 hours after administration, the regular diet was recovered

Doses:

25, 200 and 2000 mg/Kg bw

No. of animals per sex per dose:

3 per 3 per dose

Control animals:

not specified

Details on study design:

- Administration: oral administration by metallic probe
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations: In the first day frequent observations, and then, once every working day
- Sacrifice: yes by CO2 inhalation or cervical dislocation
- Necropsy performed: yes, macroscopic
- Body weight: performed at the start of the study, before substance administration, at 7 days after administration and at the end of the study.
- General examination: skin, fur, eyes, mucose, respiratory system, cardiovasculary system, central and periheral nervous system, somatomotor system and behaviour. A particular attention was given to tremors, convulsions, salivation, diarrhea, letargia, sleep and coma.
