H-22762: Oral Approximate Lethal Dose (ALD) in Rats
DuPont HL-1997-00867
SUMMARY
H-22762 was administered as a single oral dose by intragastric intubation to male rats. Following dosing, the rats were weighed and observed for mortality and clinical signs o f toxicity over a 14-day observation period.
Rats dosed at 5000, 7500, or 11,000 mg/kg were found dead 1 day after dosing. Clinical signs of toxicity and body weight losses were observed in lethally and non-lethally dosed animals.
Under the conditions o f this study, the oral ALD for H-22762 was 5000 mg/kg of body weight. This substance is considered to be slightly toxic (ALD 500 - 5000 mg/kg) when administered as a single oral dose to male rats.

H-22762: Oral Approximate Lethal Dose (ALD) in Rats
DuPont HL-1997-00867
INTRODUCTION
The purpose o f this test was to determine an approximate lethal dose (ALD) o f H-22762 when administered as a single oral dose to male rats. The ALD was defined as the lowest dose administered which caused death either on the day o f dosing or within 14 days post exposure.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
A. Animal H usbandry
Male Crl:CD(SD)BR rats, approximately 7-10 weeks old, were received from Charles River Laboratories. Rats were housed singly in suspended, stainless steel, wire-mesh cages. Each rat was assigned a unique identification number which was recorded on a card affixed to the cage. The rats were tail-marked, using a water-insoluble marker, with the last 3 digits of the animal number. Purina Certified Rodent Chow #5002 and water were available ad libitum.
Haskell Laboratory has an animal health monitoring program. This program is monitored and administered by the Laboratory Veterinarian. Water samples are periodically analyzed for total bacterial counts and for the presence o f coliforms, lead, and other contaminants. Additionally, samples from freshly washed cages and cage racks are periodically analyzed to ensure adequate sanitation by the cagewashers. Data from this program are maintained separately from study records. Animal feed is certified by the manufacturer to meet specified nutritional requirements and to be free o f a list o f specified contaminants. On the basis o f these analyses, there is no evidence suggesting that contaminants were present in the feed or water in amounts which may have interfered with the results o f this study.
Rats were quarantined, weighed, and observed for general health for approximately one week. Animal rooms were maintained on a timer-controlled, 12-hour light/12-hour dark cycle. Environmental conditions o f the rooms were targeted for a temperature o f 23C 1C and relative humidity o f 50% 10%. Excursions outside these ranges were o f small magnitude and/or brief duration and did not adversely affect the validity o f the study.
B. Protocol
The test substance administered neat to 1 rat per dose rate by intragastric intubation. The doses were calculated based on the test substance density o f 1600 mg/mL and body weights collected on the day o f dosing. Dose rates administered ranged from 2300 to 11,000 mg/kg o f body weight in increments o f approximately 50%. Additionally, 1 rat was dosed at 670 mg/kg. The dosing day was test day 1; postexposure day 14 was test day 15. Following administration o f the test substance, rats were observed for clinical signs o f toxicity.

The rats were weighed and observed at least 3 times a week throughout the 14-day observation period. Observations for mortality and signs o f illnes?, injury, or abnormal behavior were made daily throughout the study. Pathological examinations o f test animals were not performed.
RESULTS
A. Dosage and M ortality Data The dosage regimen and the mortality resulting over the 15-day test period are detailed below. The lowest dose o f H-22762 which resulted in the death o f a test animal was 5000 mg/kg. Rats dosed at 5000, 7500, or 11,000 mg/kg were found dead 1 day after dosing.

B. Clinical Signs and Body Weights
1. Nonlethal Doses
No clinical signs o f toxicity were observed in the rat dosed at 670 mg/kg. Wet, yellow-stained
perinium was observed in the rats dosed at 2300 and 3400 mg/kg within the first 2 days after
treatment. The rat treated at 3400 mg/kg exhibited a weight loss o f approximately 6% o f initial
body weight by 2 days after dosing.
`
2. Lethal Doses
The rat treated at 7500 mg/kg exhibited a weight loss o f approximately 12% o f initial body weight, tremors, spasms, wet underbody, and splayed hindlegs 1 day after dosing. This rat was found dead the same day. The rats treated at 5,000 and 11,000 mg/kg were found dead 1 day after dosing; no clinical signs o f toxicity or weight losses were noted.

CONCLUSION
Under the conditions o f this study, the oral ALD for H-22762 was 5000 mg/kg o f body weight. This substance is considered to be slightly toxic (ALD 500 - 5000 mg/kg) when administered as a single oral dose to male rats.
