Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:

TEST ANIMALS
- Source: female rats (nulliparous and non-pregnant), Wistar strain Crl:WI (Han) (outbred, SPF-Quality); Charles River Deutschland, Sulzfeld, Germany
- Age at study initiation: approx. 9 weeks old
- Weight at study initiation: 159-181 g
- Fasting period before study: animals were deprived of food overnight prior to dosing and until 3-4 hours after administration of the test item. Water was available ad libitum.
- Housing: group housing of 3 animals per cage in labeled Makrolon cages (MIV type; height 18 cm.) containing sterilized sawdust as bedding material (Lignocel S 8-15, JRS - J.Rettenmaier & Söhne GmbH + CO. KG, Rosenberg, Germany) and paper as cage-enrichment (Enviro-dri, Wm. Lillico & Son (Wonham Mill Ltd), Surrey, United Kingdom).
- Diet (e.g. ad libitum): ad libitum, free access to pelleted rodent diet
- Water (e.g. ad libitum): ad libitum, free access to tap water.
- Acclimation period: at least 5 days before start of treatment under laboratory conditions.


ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 18-24 °C
- Humidity (%): 40-70%
- Air changes (per hr): at least 10
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12/12

IN-LIFE DATES: From: 2016-05-26 To: 2016-06-16

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:

oral: gavage

Vehicle:

unchanged (no vehicle)

Details on oral exposure:

MAXIMUM DOSE VOLUME APPLIED: 1.83 ml/kg

DOSAGE PREPARATION (if unusual):
- The test item was dosed undiluted as delivered by the Sponsor. The test item was kept at room temperature for a maximum of 4 hours prior to dosing. Based on the test item data provided by the Sponsor, it was considered that the test item remained stable during this relatively short time period.
- Adjustment was made for specific gravity of the vehicle. No correction was made for purity of the test item.

CLASS METHOD (if applicable)
- Rationale for the selection of the starting dose: The toxicity of the test item was assessed by stepwise treatment of groups of 3 females. The first group was treated at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg.

Doses:

2000 mg/kg (single dosage)

No. of animals per sex per dose:

3 females per dose (two subsequent treatment groups)

Control animals:

no

Details on study design:

- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days (until day 15)
- Frequency of observations and weighing:
mortality/viability: twice daily;
body weights: days 1 (pre-administration), 8 and 15 and at death (if found dead);
clinical signs: at periodic intervals on the day of dosing (day 1) and once daily thereafter, until day 15. The signs were graded according to fixed scales and the time of onset, degree and duration were recorded: maximum grade 4: grading slight (1) to very severe (4); maximum grade 3: grading slight (1) to severe (3); maximum grade 1: presence is scored (1).
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes, at the end of the observation period, all animals were sacrificed by oxygen/carbon dioxide procedure and subjected to necropsy. Descriptions of all internal macroscopic abnormalities were recorded.

Statistics:

No statistical analysis was performed.

Results and discussion

Effect levels

Key result

Sex:

female

Dose descriptor:

LD50

Effect level:

> 2 000 mg/kg bw

Based on:

test mat.

Mortality:

One animal was found dead on Day 2 in the first test group. No deaths occurred in the second test group.

Clinical signs:

other: Lethargy, flat posture, hunched posture, piloerection, ptosis, uncoordinated movements, decreased locomotor activity, abnormal gait, slow breathing, flat gait, hypotonia and/or lean appearance were noted for all animals between Days 1 and 3.

Body weight:

other body weight observations

Remarks:

The mean body weight gain shown by the surviving animals over the study period was considered to be similar to that expected for normal untreated animals of the same age and strain.

Gross pathology:

Watery-clear, dark red contents of the urinary bladder were found in the animal that died during the study, at macroscopic post mortem examination. Macroscopic examination of the surviving animals at termination did not reveal any abnormalities.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

Category 5 based on GHS criteria

Conclusions:

The oral LD50 value of JNJ-118872-AAA (T000749) in Wistar rats was established to exceed 2000 mg/kg body weight. Based on these results, according to the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) of the United Nations (2015) (including all amendments), T000749 should be classified as: may be harmful if swallowed (Category 5) for acute toxicity by the oral route. T000749 does not have to be classified and has no obligatory labelling requirement for oral toxicity according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
