TEST ANIMALS
- Source:
Harlan Laboratories UK Limited, Bicester, Oxon, UK

- Age at study initiation:
At the start of the study the animals were eight to twelve weeks of age.

- Weight at study initiation: not stated

- Fasting period before study:
An overnight fast immediately before dosing and for approximately three to four hours after dosing.

- Housing:
The animals were housed in groups of up to four in suspended solid floor polypropylene cages furnished with woodflakes.

- Diet (e.g. ad libitum):
Free access to food (2014 Teklad Global Rodent diet supplied by Harlan Teklad, Blackthorn, Bicester, Oxon, UK).

- Water (e.g. ad libitum):
Free access to mains drinking water.

- Acclimation period:
Acclimatisation period of at least five days.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C):
19 to 25°C

- Humidity (%):
30 to 70%

- Air changes (per hr):
The rate of air exchange was at least fifteen changes per hour.

- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light):
Lighting was controlled by a time switch to give twelve hours continuous light (06:00 to 18:00) and twelve hours darkness.

IN-LIFE DATES: From: Day 0 To: Day fourteen

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:

oral: gavage

Vehicle:

arachis oil

Details on oral exposure:

VEHICLE
For the purpose of the study the test material was freshly prepared, as required, as a solution in arachis oil BP

- Justification for choice of vehicle:
Arachis oil BP was used because the test material did not dissolve/suspend in distilled water.

MAXIMUM DOSE VOLUME APPLIED:
10 ml/kg.
The volume administered to each animal was calculated according to the fasted bodyweight at the time of dosing. Treatment of animals was sequential. Sufficient time was allowed between each dose level to confirm the survival of the previously dosed animals.

Doses:

In the absence of data regarding the toxicity of the test material, 300 mg/kg was chosen as the starting dose.
In the absence of toxicity at a dose level of 300 mg/kg, a dose level of 2000 mg/kg was chosen.

No. of animals per sex per dose:

One animal was treated at a dose level of 300 mg/kg.
A total of five animals were treated at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg in the study.

Control animals:

no

Details on study design:

- Duration of observation period following administration:
Clinical observations were made ½, 1, 2, and 4 hours after dosing and then daily for fourteen days. Morbidity and mortality checks were made twice daily.

- Frequency of observations and weighing:
Individual bodyweights were recorded on Day 0 (the day of dosing) and on Days 7 and 14.

- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes
At the end of the observation period the animals were killed by cervical dislocation. All animals were subjected to gross necropsy. This consisted of an external examination and opening of the abdominal and thoracic cavities. The appearance of any macroscopic abnormalities was recorded. No tissues were retained.

Statistics:

Not applicable.

Conclusions:

The acute oral median lethal dose (LD50) of the test material in the female Wistar strain rat was estimated to be greater than 2000 mg/kg bodyweight (Globally Harmonised Classification System - Unclassified).

Executive summary:

Introduction. 

The study was performed to assess the acute oral toxicity of the test material UMC in the Wistar strain rat. The method was designed to meet the requirements of the following:

§        OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals No 420 “Acute Oral Toxicity - Fixed Dose Method” (2001)

§        Method B1 bis Acute Toxicity (Oral) of Commission Regulation (EC) No. 440/2008

Method. 

Following a sighting test at dose levels of 300 mg/kg and 2000 mg/kg, a further group of four fasted females was given a single oral dose of test material, as a solution in arachis oil BP, at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg bodyweight. Clinical signs and bodyweight development were monitored during the study. All animals were subjected to gross necropsy.

Mortality. 

There were no deaths.

Clinical Observations. 

There were no signs of systemic toxicity.

Bodyweight. 

All animals showed expected gains in bodyweight.

Necropsy. 

No abnormalities were noted at necropsy.

Conclusion. 

The acute oral median lethal dose (LD₅₀) of the test material in the female Wistar strain rat was estimated to be greater than 2000mg/kg bodyweight (Globally Harmonised Classification System-Unclassified).
