Administration / exposure

Route of administration:

oral: gavage

Vehicle:

other: Methocel K4M Premium

Details on oral exposure:

The rats received the test material preparations orally by means of a stomach tube.

Doses:

The test material concentration was 100 g/L.The dose was 20 mL/kg or 2000 mg/kg bw.

No. of animals per sex per dose:

3 (m) / 3 (f)

Control animals:

no

Details on study design:

- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observationsbehavoir and general condition of all rats were monitored for at lease 6 hours after the administration and then checked daily
- weighing: before treatement and on days 2, 4, 6, 8, 11, 13, and 15
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes
- Other examinations performed: clinical signs, body weight

Statistics:

The body weight development of each rat and group was determined. The group mean value was calculated for each measurement and printed on tables.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

Based on the result of this study, it is concluded, that the test item has no acute toxic potential and that the LD50 value is higher than 2000 mg/kg bw following oral treatment in rats. According to the results of this study the test material can be allocated to ATC class 0 i.e. the LD50 value is expected to exceed 2000 mg/kg.

Executive summary:

The purpose of this assay was to provide information on possible health hazards for the test material and serve as a rational basis for risk assessment to the potential of acute oral toxicity of the test item in man.

The test material was tested for acute toxicity in rats after oral administration of 2000 mg/kg body weight. Directly before the administration the test material was prepared with aqueous Methocel K4M Premium solution as vehicle. This study was performed according to the ,,Acute toxic class method" (ATC; OECD TG 423). No signs of toxicity were detected in the 3 male and 3 female rats after treatment and no rat died. The gross pathological examination revealed no organ alterations. According to the results of this study the test material can be allocated to ATC class 0 i.e. the LD50 value is expected to exceed 2000 mg/kg.
