Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

Category 4 based on GHS criteria

Conclusions:

The lethal concentration (LD50) cut-off value for acute oral toxicity test was considered to be 1000 mg/kg bw, when female wistar albino rats were treated with test chemical orally via gavage according to OECD Guideline 423 (Acute Oral toxicity - Acute Toxic Class Method).

Executive summary:

The acute oral toxicity study of the given test chemical was conducted in wistar albino rats under the OECD Guideline-423 for testing of chemicals. The healthy wistar albino rats of body weight 200±20 gm were selected for study after acclimatization to standard laboratory condition and divided into test group and vehicle control group each having three animals. The study was conducted stepwise as follow: Starting dose 2000 mg/kg body weight: The test chemical was mixed with distilled water and administered orally at the dose level of 2000 mg/kg body weight (dose volume 10ml/kg) to three female rats. However; vehicle control group treated with the distilled water at the dose level of 10 ml/kg b.wt.  The treated animals were closely observed continuously for clinical signs of intoxication during first four hours of test compound administration. Thereafter, all the animals were observed periodically at one hour interval for 24 hrs and once daily for a period of 14 days.  The necropsy was performed on all animals died during the study. The Wistar albino rats treated with the test chemical showed convulsion, tremor, abdominal respiration, hind leg paralysis condition and death within the 4 hrs of administration of test compound. No clinical signs and mortality were observed in vehicle control group. The necropsy finding showed severe congestion in lungs of the test group. Furthermore, no gross pathological change was observed in vehicle control group. Final dose 300 mg/kg body weight: Step -I: The test chemical was mixed with distilled water and administered orally at the dose level of 300 mg/kg body wt. (dose volume 10 ml/kg) to three female rats. All the animals were closely observed individually for clinical sign of toxicity and mortality once in 30 minutes, 1, 2, 4 and 6 hrs intervals during the first 24 hrs and thereafter, once daily for a period of 14 days. Necropsy was conducted on all the animals at the termination of study. The test chemical administered at the dose level of 300 mg/kg b.wt did not produce any mortality throughout the observation period of 14 days. Furthermore, no clinical signs toxicity was recorded in any of the treated rats throughout the period of observation. The necropsy finding did not show any gross pathological changes. Step -II: After 72 hrs, the result of step-I was confirmed by administration of same dose level (300 mg/kg. b.wt) of test chemical in additional three animals of same sex (OECD-423 guidelines). The test chemical administered at the dose level of 300 mg/kg b.wt did not produce any mortality and clinical sign of intoxication throughout the observation period of 14 days. The test chemical did not elicit any gross pathological changes in animals sacrificed at the end of experimentation. The lethal concentration (LD50) cut-off value for acute oral toxicity test was considered to be 1000 mg/kg bw, when female wistar albino rats were treated with test chemical orally via gavage according to OECD Guideline 423 (Acute Oral toxicity - Acute Toxic Class Method).
