TEST ANIMALS
- Source (supplier): Envigo RMS Spain S.L.
- Age at study initiation: 8 weeks old
- Weight at study initiation: Mean: 221.6g
- Fasting period: Overnight before administration and approx. 3-4h afterwards
- Diet (food): Teklad global 14% protein rodent maintenance diets 2914C (irradiated).
- Food availability: Ad libitum except for an overnight fast prior to dosing and approx. 3-4h afterwards.
- Water: Tap water
- Water availability: Ad libitum.
- Acclimation period: 7 days

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 22 +- 3ºC

IN-LIFE DATES: At the end of the 15-day observation period, all surviving animals were euthanized in a CO2 atmosphere.

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
oral: gavage
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Doses:
300 (starting dose) and 2000 mg/kg
No. of animals per sex per dose:
6 animals per dose 300 mg/kg (in two dose steps: Group A (3 animals) and Group B (3 animals))
6 animals per dose 2000 mg/kg (in two dose steps: Group C (3 animals) and Group D (3 animals))
Therefore:
Total number of animals: 12 animals to perform 4 dose steps (A, B, C and D)
Control animals:
not specified
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 15 days
- Frequency of observahhtions: 30min, 2h and 4h post-administration and once daily thereafter during the 15-day observation period.
- Frequency of weighing: once during the acclimatisation period, immediately before administration for dosing purposes (from 3-4h fasted animals), weekly thereafter and prior to sacrifice.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes
Any visible clinical signs, discomfort and mortality were recorded.
Statistics:
No statistical analysis was performed.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
At 2000mg/kg no mortality ocurred. Therefore, the oral median lethal dose (LD50) will be >2000 mg/kg (female rats).
Based on these results and according to the EU classification criteria outlined in Regulation 1272/2008 (CLP) the compound does not need to be classified.
Executive summary:

The objective of this study is to evaluate the acute oral toxicity of the test item in female Sprague-Dawley rats by the Acute Toxic Class Method (OECD guideline Nº 423).

6 female Sprague-Dawley rats were treated with test item by oral gavage administration at 300 mg/kg bw (starting dose) and other 6 at 2000 mg/kg bw. The rats were observed for 15 days.

At 300 and 2000 mg/kg bw, no mortality ocurred and no abnormalities were detected. Therefore, the oral median lethal dose (LD50) will be >2000 mg/kg (female rats).

Based on these results and according to the EU classification criteria outlined in Regulation 1272/2008 (CLP) the compound does not need to be classified.
