Details on oral exposure:
VEHICLE
- Amount of vehicle (if gavage): 10 mL/kg bw
- Justification for choice of vehicle: The vehicle was selected based on trial formulations performed at the test facility.

MAXIMUM DOSE VOLUME APPLIED: 10 mL/kg bw
Doses:
2000 mg/kg bw
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: Mortality/viability: twice daily; Body weights: Days 1, 8 and 15; Clinical signs: at periodic intervals on Day 1, and once daily thereafter, until Day 15.

- Other examinations performed: clinical signs, body weight, organ weights

Results and discussion

Effect levels
Key result
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 2 000 mg/kg bw
Mortality:
No mortality occurred.
Clinical signs:
other: Restless behaviour, lethargy, hunched posture, uncoordinated movements and/or quick breathing were noted among the majority of animals. The animals had recovered from the symptoms between days 2 and 7.
Gross pathology:
No abnormalities were found at macroscopic post martern examination of the animals.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The oral LD50 value of BFB in male and female Wistar rats was established to exceed 2000 mg/kg body weight.
