Administration / exposure

Route of administration:

oral: gavage

Vehicle:

DMSO

Details on oral exposure:

VEHICLE
- Concentration in vehicle:
* First step: 2.0043 g of test item was added to a 10 mL volumetric flask.
* Second step: 2.0077 g of test item was added to a 10 mL volumetric flask.
- Amount of vehicle (if gavage): 10 ml/kg of bw
- Justification for choice of vehicle: Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) was chosen as it produced the most suitable formulation at the requested concentration.

Doses:

Steps 1 and 2: 2000 mg/kg bw

No. of animals per sex per dose:

3 females rat per step

Control animals:

no

Details on study design:

- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days

- Frequency of observations and weighing:
* Frequency of observation : The first day : at 30 min, 1h, 3h, 4h, 24h, then daily.
* Weighing on D0 (prior administration), D2, D7 and D14.

- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes. Animals were euthanized with sodium pentobarbital
Only those organs likely to be modified in cases of acute toxicity were examined. No organ was removed and preserved in view to microscopic examinations.

- Other examinations performed: clinical signs, body weight,organ weights, histopathology.
- Macroscopic examinations at the end of the study (after euthanisia) with the examination of organs likely to be modified in cases of acute toxicity (i.e. oesophagus, stomach, the entire digestif tract, spleen, liver, thymus, trachea, lungs, heart, kidneys, urinary bladder, ovaries, uterus, treatment area,adrenals, pancreas).

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

The LD50 of the test item is higher than 2000 mg/kg body weight.

In accordance with the O.E.C.D. Test Guideline No. 423, the LD50 cut-off of the test item may be considered as 5000 mg/kg body weight by oral route in the rat.

The test item does not have to be classified in accordance with the Regulation EC No. 1272/2008 on classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures. No signal word or hazard statement is required.

Executive summary:

The test item was administered to a group of 6 female Sprague Dawley rats at the dose of 2000 mg/kg body weight.

The experimental protocol was established according to the official method as defined in the O.E.C.D. Test Guideline No. 423 dated December 17th, 2001 and the test method B.1tris of the Council regulation No. 440/2008 dated May 30th, 2008.

No mortality occurred during the study.

No clinical signs related to the administration of the test item were observed during the study.

The body weight evolution of the animals remained normal during the study.

The macroscopic examination of the animals at the end of the study revealed a thinning of forestomach (3/6) and green spots on the corpus (2/6). No other changes were observed.

In conclusion, the LD50 of the test item is higher than 2000 mg/kg body weight.

In accordance with the O.E.C.D. Test Guideline No. 423, the LD50 cut-off of the test item may be considered as 5000 mg/kg body weight by oral route in the rat.

The test item does not have to be classified in accordance with the Regulation EC No. 1272/2008 on classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures.

No signal word or hazard statement is required.
