Administration / exposure

Route of administration:

oral: gavage

Vehicle:

corn oil

Details on oral exposure:

GAVAGE METHOD: metallic stomach probe.

Frequency: single dosage, on Day 1.

VEHICLE: cornoil
- Justification for choice of vehicle: Vehicle was chosen for its nontoxicity in animals.

MAXIMUM DOSE VOLUME APPLIED: 10 mL/kg bw.

DOSAGE PREPARATION:
A sample of the test substance was extracted, weighed, and suspended in corn oil with a mortar.

Doses:

2000 mg/kg bw

No. of animals per sex per dose:

10 rats per sex per dose

Control animals:

yes

Details on study design:

- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing:
Body weights: prior to dosing (day 0), at Day 3, 7, and 10, and terminally (day 14).
Clinical signs: 10, 20, and 30 minutes after dosing; 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 h after dosing; and daily for the remainder of the 14- day test period.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: all animals at the end of the study
- Other examinations performed: none.

Statistics:

No statistical analysis was performed (The method used is not intended to allow the calculation of a precise LD50 value).

Results and discussion

Preliminary study:

3 male and 3 female 5-week-old rats were dosed with 2000 mg/kg bw. No death were observed.

Effect levels

Sex:

male/female

Dose descriptor:

LD50

Effect level:

> 2 000 mg/kg bw

Based on:

test mat.

Mortality:

No mortality observed.

Clinical signs:

Diarrhea observed in 4 amles and 2 females in the control group 1 h after administration which recovered within 1 h.

Body weight:

The mean body weight gain shown by the treated animals over the study period was considered to be similar to the control group.

Gross pathology:

No abnormalities were found at macroscopic post mortem examination in any of the animals.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

other: Not classified according to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.

Conclusions:

In an acute oral toxicity study with male and female rats an LD50 >2000 mg/kg bw was determined.

Executive summary:

ODA-MDI-CHA 6-part blend was evaluated for acute oral toxicity in five-week old male and female Crj:CD(SD) rats at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg bw in corn oil. No death occured in rats of either sex, and no abnormalities were detected either in the clinical signs and body weight changes during the study period or in autopsy findings at the end of the study period. It was concluded that the LD50 value of the test substance was >2000 mg/kg bw in male and female rats.
