- Vehicle:
- DMSO
- Details on oral exposure:
- VEHICLE
- Concentration in vehicle: 30 mg/mL and 200 mg/mL
- Amount of vehicle (if gavage): 10 mL/kg bw
- Justification for choice of vehicle: Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) was chosen as it produced the most suitable formulation at the requested concentration.
MAXIMUM DOSE VOLUME APPLIED: 10 mL/kg bw
DOSAGE PREPARATION (if unusual): The preparations were stirred using a vortex for 1 minute to obtain black solutions just before the administration.
CLASS METHOD (if applicable)
- Rationale for the selection of the starting dose: Available information suggests that mortality is unlikely at the highest starting dose level (2000 mg/kg body weight). Hence, the study is initiated with the starting dose of 2000 mg/kg body weight. - Doses:
- 300 and 2000 mg/kg bw
- No. of animals per sex per dose:
- Step 1 (2000 mg/kg bw): 3 animals; Step 2 (300 mg/kg bw): 3 animals; Step 3 (300 mg/kg bw): 3 animals
- Control animals:
- yes
- Remarks:
- (study performed on three animals receiving DMSO under requirements of OECD Guideline 423)
- Details on study design:
- - Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: At each step, the animals were observed four times on test day 0 (day of administration), i.e. at T0+30 min, T0+1h, T0+3h and T0+4h, and once daily during days 1 to 14 post administration. The body weights were recorded on test day 0 (just before administration) then on D2, D7, and D14.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes.
- Clinical signs including body weight: spontaneous activity, Preyer’s reflex (noise), respiratory rate, convulsions, tremors, body temperature, muscle tone, palpebral opening, pupil appearance, salivation, lachrymation, righting reflex, back hair appearance. The body weight evolution of animals treated with the test item was compared with the body weight evolution of the control group.
- Other examinations performed: Macroscopic observations were entered on individual autopsy sheets. Only those organs likely to be modified in cases of acute toxicity were examined. No organ was removed and preserved in view to microscopic examinations. - Key result

- Mortality:
- Two mortalities were noted in animals treated at the dose of 2000 mg/kg bw on Day 2 and Day 6. No mortality was noted in animals treated at the dose of 300 mg/kg bw.
- Clinical signs:
- other: Step 1 (2000 mg/kg bw): The mortalities were preceded by a decrease in spontaneous activity (2/2), righting reflex (1/2), muscle tones (1/2), associated with hypothermia (1/2), piloerection (1/2), eyes partly closed (2/2) and an increase of salivation (1/
- Gross pathology:
- Step 1 (2000 mg/kg bw): The macroscopic examination of the animals found dead revealed a thinning of forestomach (2/2), a corpus with red spots (1/2) and a reddish corpus with black spots (1/2). The macroscopic examination of the surviving animal at the end of the study did not reveal treatment related changes.
Steps 2 and 3 (300 mg/kg bw): The macroscopic examination of the animals at the end of the study did not reveal treatment related changes. - Interpretation of results:
- other: Category 4 (CLP Regulation EC no. 1272/2008)
- Conclusions:
- The LD50 of the test item was found to be higher than 300 mg/kg bw and lower than 2000 mg/kg by oral route in the rat. The LD50 cut-off of the test item may be considered as 1000 mg/kg bw.
- Executive summary:
The acute oral toxicity of the test item has been tested in accordance with OECD Test Guideline 423, following GLP. 9 female Sprague-Dawley rats divided in 3 groups were administered sequentially with test item by oral gavage. The first set of 3 female rats was given a single dose of 2000 mg/kg body weight. Two mortalities were observed at this dose level, so a second set of 6 female rats was treated at 300 mg/kg bw. The mortalities were preceded by a decrease in spontaneous activity (2/2), righting reflex (1/2), muscle tones (1/2), associated with hypothermia (1/2), piloerection (1/2), eyes partly closed (2/2) and an increase of salivation (1/2). Rigor mortis (2/2) was noted before the necropsy. The macroscopic examination of the animals revealed a thinning of forestomach (2/2), a corpus with red spots (1/2) and a reddish corpus with black spots (1/2). In the surviving animal (1/3), a decrease in spontaneous activity associated with an increase of salivation was noted in the first hours post dose. The animal recovered a normal activity at 48 hours post-dose. The body weight evolution of the animal revealed an absence of body weight gain at D2 versus D0. Then, the body weight evolution was normal. The macroscopic examination of the animal at the end of the study did not reveal treatment related changes. In the 300 mg/kg bw dose level no mortalities were found. A decrease of spontaneous activity (2/6) was noted in the first hours of the test. The animals recovered a normal activity at 3 hours post-dose. The body weight evolution of the animals remained normal throughout the study and the macroscopic examination at the end of the study did not reveal treatment related changes. Based on these results, the LD50 of the test item is higher than 300 mg/kg bw and lower than 2000 mg/kg by oral route in the rat. As per OECD Test Guideline 423, the LD50 cut-off of the test item may be considered as 1000 mg/kg bw.
