MAXIMUM DOSE VOLUME APPLIED: 10 mL/kg

CLASS METHOD (if applicable)
- Rationale for the selection of the starting dose: due to the low expected toxicity of the test substance a starting dose of 5,000 mg/kg was selected.
Doses:
Step 1: starting dose of 5,000 mg/kg test substance was administered to one animal

Statistics:
Statistical analysis was not performed. Mean scores and values are determined.

Results and discussion

Effect levels
Key result
Sex:
female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 5 000 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
Mortality:
All animals at 5,000 mg/kg survived the duration of the study. There were no effects on the mortality. Refer to Table 1.
Clinical signs:
other: Mucous stool was observed in one animal at 5,000 mg/kg on Day 1 after dosing and it disappeared on Day 2 after dosing. Therefore, it was considered to be a test substance-related temporary change. Refer to table 2.
Gross pathology:
No gross visible evidence of morphological abnormalities was observed in any animal at 5,000 mg/kg.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Based on the result of the acute oral toxicity study in Sprague-dawley rats, the test substance has an LD50 value >5000 mg/kg bw. Therefore, it was not classified according to CLP.
Executive summary:

The purpose of this study was to assess the potential toxicity of the test substance following a single oral dose administration to female Sprague-Dawley rats and to classify the test substance under GHS classification.


 


Two dose groups were designed as Steps 1 and 2 at 5,000 mg/kg. Step 1 consisted of one female and Step 2 consisted of two females. All animals were monitored for clinical signs and body weight changes during the 14-day observation period after administration. They were subjected to gross necropsy at the end of the observation period.


 


There were no deaths of animals at 5,000 mg/kg. Mucous stool was observed in an animal on Day 1 after dosing and it disappeared on Day 2 after dosing. A tendency to suppress body weight gain was observed in animals on Day 1 after dosing. Then, these animals returned to normal on Day 3. No test substance-related effects were observed in necropsy findings in any animal.


 


Based on the result of the acute oral toxicity study in Sprague-Dawley rats, the test substance was not classified according to the GHS classification and the median lethal dose derived was: LD50 cut off> 5,000 mg/kg b.w.
