Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
oral: gavage
Vehicle:
corn oil
Details on oral exposure:
VEHICLE
- Concentration in vehicle: The dose administered was expressed in mg/kg and adjusted to the weight of the animal as determined immediately before administration.
- Amount of vehicle (if gavage): max 10 mL/kg
Doses:
2000 mg/kg bw.
No. of animals per sex per dose:
5 males and 5 females
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: Animals were examined twice on the day of treatment, then daily for 14 days
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes
- Other examinations performed: clinical signs, body weight, and macroscopically examined.

Results and discussion

Preliminary study:
Test substance was expected to be non-toxic by opral route, thus no preliminary study had been carried out.
Effect levels
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 2 000 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
Mortality:
No mortality occurred during the study
Clinical signs:
other: No clinical signs were observed during the course of the study
Gross pathology:
Macroscopic examination at the end of the observation period did not reveal any teatment-related gross alteration
Other findings:
No organ or tissiue gross findings were seen at necroscopsy

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
practically nontoxic
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The acute oral toxicity of diol acetate is less than the limit for classification as harmful.
Executive summary:

Under the experimental conditions adopted, oral administration of the test substance DIOLO at dose of 2000 mg/kg caused no mortality and did not require euthanasia during 14 -day period, in the male or female Sprague-Dawley Rat.
