No deaths occurred, and no clinical signs o f toxicity were observed during this study. Under the conditions of this test, the ALD was greater than 11,000 mg/kg o f body weight. This substance is considered to be very low in toxicity (ALD greater than 5,000 mg/kg) 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. A. Animal Husbandry MATERIALS AND METHODS Male Crl:CD(SD)BR rats, approximately 7 weeks old, were received from Charles River Laboratories, Raleigh, North Carolina. 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 o f 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 assure 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 of 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/12hour 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 of small magnitude and/or brief duration and did not adversely affect the validity o f the study. B. Protocol The test substance was administered neat to 1 rat per dose rate by intragastric intubation. The density was determined by weighing 3, 1 mL aliquots o f H-21987 and averaging the 3 weights. The density was calculated to be 1.0655 g/mL or 1065.5 mg/mL. In the absence o f visible evidence to the contrary, the test substance was assumed to be stable under the conditions o f administration.

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 illness, injury, or abnormal behavior were made daily throughout the study. Pathological examinations o f test animals were not performed. RESULTS A.

CONCLUSION Under the conditions o f this study, the ALD for H-21987 was greater than 11,000 mg/kg o f body weight.
