The main clinical finding after administration of ZK 91535 was slight to moderate apathy on the first day after administration. All animals were without findings from day 2 onwards. No compound-related findings were observed in body weight gain or autopsy.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Executive summary:

The single oral administration of the test substance 3 beta,7 beta,15 alpha-Trihydroxy-5-androsten-17-one (ZK 91535) to male and female rats at a dose of 2000 mg/kg was tolerated without any mortality. On the first day after administration slight to moderate apathy was observed, from day 2 onwards all animals were without clinical signs. Autopsy revealed no compound-related findings. The acute oral toxicity of 3 beta,7 beta,15 alpha-Trihydroxy-5-androsten-17-one in rats is therefore above 2000 mg/kg body weight.
