Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
oral: gavage
Vehicle:
other: 0.5% natrosol 250 HX (hydroxyethylcellulose)
Details on oral exposure:
VEHICLE
- Concentration in vehicle: 250 mg/mL
- Amount of vehicle (if gavage): 20 mL/kg
Doses:
5000 mg/kg
No. of animals per sex per dose:
3
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: the overall appearance and behaviour of each animal were observed at least twice a day. On weekends and on non-working days, the animals were controlled once in the morning. Body weight of the animals was determined on the day of administration
(day 1) as well as on days 2, 7 and 14 of the experiment.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The acute oral LD50 of the substance was higher than 5000 mg/kg: the substance should not be classified for oral toxicity.
