Key result
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 2 000 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
Mortality:
No mortality was seen in rats treated with 2000 mg/kg.
Clinical signs:
other: No clinical signs of toxicity were seen.
Gross pathology:
The gross pathological examination revealed no organ alterations.

Objective

The objective of the present study was to identify potential toxic effects of the test item after single oral administration to rats in a stepwise procedure.

Study Design

The study was started with 2000 mg/kg in 3 female rats and continued with further 3 females at 2000 mg/kg.

Mortality and clinical signs were monitored for at least 6 hours after administration and then daily. All animals were weighed before treatment (day 1) and on days 2, 4, 6, 8, 11, 13, and 15. At the end of the observation period, all surviving rats were sacrificed and subjected to a detailed necropsy.

Results

No mortality occurred in the 6 female rats treated with 2000 mg/kg.

The body weight development was inconspicuous throughout the study.

No clinical signs of toxicity were observed.

The gross pathological examination revealed no organ alterations.

Conclusion

Under the conditions of the present study, it is concluded that the test item has no acute toxic potential and that the LD50 value is higher than 2000 mg/kg after single oral administration in female rats.

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Under the conditions of the present study, it is concluded that the test item has no acute toxic potential and that the LD50 value is higher than 2000 mg/kg after single oral administration in female rats.
