Administration / exposure

Route of administration:

oral: gavage

Vehicle:

water

Remarks:

0.5% aqueous solution of carboxymethylcellulose

Details on oral exposure:

VEHICLE
- Concentration in vehicle: 200 mg/mL
- Amount of vehicle (if gavage): 10mL/kg

Doses:

2000 mg/kg bw

No. of animals per sex per dose:

6

Control animals:

no

Details on study design:

- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days

- Frequency of observations and weighing:

Throughout the study all animals were checked for morbidity and mortality twice daily.

Animals were observed for clinical signs as indicated below:
-Day of dosing
· Session 1: on dosing
· Session 2: approximately 0.5 hour after dosing
· Session 3: approximately 2 hours after dosing
· Session 4: approximately 4 hours after dosing
-Daily thereafter for a total of 14 days (Session 1).

All animals were weighed at allocation to the study (Day -1), on the day of dosing (Day 1) and on Days 2, 8 and 15.

- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes, Necropsy was carried out on all animals (gross necropsy examination for both external and internal abnormalities, with particular attention to the gastro-intestinal tract).

Results and discussion

Effect levels

Key result

Sex:

female

Dose descriptor:

LD50

Effect level:

> 2 000 mg/kg bw

Based on:

test mat.

Mortality:

No mortality occurred in the 6 animals following dosing at 2000 mg/kg.

Clinical signs:

No signs of toxicity were observed in the 6 animals following dosing at 2000 mg/kg.

Body weight:

Changes in body weight observed during the study were within the expected range for this strain and age of animals.

Gross pathology:

No abnormalities were seen at necropsy examination performed on all animals dosed at 2000mg/kg (Groups 2 and 4) at the end of the observation period.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

These results indicate that the test item did not induce toxic effects in the rat following oral administration of a single dose at a level of 2000 mg/kg. The lack of mortality demonstrates the acute toxicity estimate (ATE) to be greater than 2000 mg/kg body weight.

Executive summary:

The acute toxicity of TP1740 was investigated following OECD 423 (Class method) and GLP. A single oral administration to the Sprague Dawley rat was followed by a 14-day observation period. A first group of 3 female animals was initially dosed at 2000 mg/kg (Step 1). No mortality occurred and no clinical signs were observed. A second group of 3 female animals was then dosed at the same dose level (Step 2). No death occurred and no clinical signs were noted. Body weight changes recorded during the study were within the expected range for this strain and age of animals. No abnormalities were seen at necropsy examination performed at the end of the observation period on animals of both groups. These results indicate that the test item did not induce toxic effects in the rat following oral administration of a single dose at a level of 2000 mg/kg. The lack of mortality demonstrates the acute toxicity estimate (ATE) to be greater than 2000 mg/kg body weight.
