Following dosing, the rats were weighed and observed for mortality and clinical signs oftoxicity 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 of 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. Company Sanitized Dooee's nnof ^a.tn.

The ALD was defined as the lowest dose administered which caused death either on the day of dosing or within 14 days post exposure. MATERIALS AND METHODS A. Animal Husbandry 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 ofcoliforms, 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 of a list of specified contaminants. On the basis of 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 of 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 of the rooms were targeted for a temperature of23C 1C and relative humidity of 50% 10%. Excursions outside these ranges were of small magnitude and/or brief duration and did not adversely affect the validity of 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 of 1600 mg/mL and body weights collected on the day of dosing. Dose rates administered ranged from 2300 to 11,000 mg/kg of body weight in increments of 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 of the test substance, rats were observed for clinical signs oftoxicity. Company SaniBzed.

Observations for mortality and signs of illness, injury, or abnormal behavior were made daily throughout the study. Pathological examinations of test animals were not performed. RESULTS A. Dosage and Mortality Data The dosage regimen and the mortality resulting over the 15-day test period are detailed below. The lowest dose ofH-22762 which resulted in the death of a test animal was 5000 mg/kg. Rats dosed at 5000, 7500, or 11,000 mg/kg were found dead 1 day after dosing.

Clinical Signs and Body Weights 1. Nonlethal Doses No clinical signs oftoxicitywere 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 of approximately 6% of initial body weight by 2 days after dosing. 2. Lethal Doses The rat treated at 7500 mg/kg exhibited a weight loss of approximately 12% of 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 oftoxicity or weight losses were noted.
