Materials and methods
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- The study was aimed at obtaining knowledge on the signs of poisoning, the lowest toxic dose, and the lethal dose (LD50) of isopentyl p-methoxycinnamate with single peroral administration to rats.
The experimental animals consisted of male and female Sprague-Dawley rats (an outbred strain from the firm S. IVANOVAS GmbH & Co., Med. Experimental Animal Breeds KG (Kißlegg/ Allgäu, Germany). The animals, with weights between 100 and 105 g, were aged 38 (males) and 42 (females) days.
The animals were housed singly in MAKROLON (type II) cages at a room temperature of 24±0.5°C (maximum limit), and a relative humidity of 60±3 % (maximum limit).
The test substance was available in the original liquid form and given undiluted in a signle administration by gavage. The feed (ALTROMIN 1323 from the ALTROMIN GmbH, Lage/Lippe, Germany) was removed 15 - 16 h prior to application, whereas tap water remained available ad libitum.
There was a recovery period of four weeks, during which time the behavior, feed intake, and body-weight development were monitored. At the end of this period, all animals were necropsied and examined macroscopically. - GLP compliance:

Administration / exposure
- Route of administration:
- oral: gavage
- Vehicle:
- unchanged (no vehicle)
- Details on oral exposure:
- The test substance was available in the original liquid form and given undiluted in a single administration by gavage. The feed (ALTROMIN 1323 from the ALTROMIN GmbH, Postfach 285, 4937 Lage/ Lippe) was removed 15 - 16 hours prior to application, whereas tap water remained available ad libitum.
- Doses:
- Dose intervals were based on a factor of 1.26.
Tested doses: 3180, 4000, 5040, 6350, 7900, 9600, 9900 and 10000 mg/kg bw. - No. of animals per sex per dose:
- Ten male and ten female animals were used per dose.
- Control animals:
- not specified
- Details on study design:
- There was a recovery period of four weeks, during which time the behaviour, feed intake, and body weight development were monitored. At the end of this period, all animals were necropsied and examined macroscopically.

- Executive summary:
The acute toxicity of isopentyl p-methoxycinnamate upon oral administration to male and female rats. The test item was found to posses a low degree of toxicity, with the LD50 value being 9,900 mg/kg bw and 9,600 mg/kg bw, for male and female rats, respectively.
At the highest dose level of 10000 mg/kg bw, all animals revealed severe sedation, ataxia and increased lacrimation as well as phases of prone position and cataleptonic conditions at 20 -30 min after application. Slow and shallow breathing was observed for about 6 hours, general reflexes were difficult to trigger. In 6 males and 8 females, sedation deepened to coma 4 - 40 h after application. Death occurred in coma, 12 - 24 h after application. Necropsy revealed pale parenchymal organs in animals found dead. Surviving animals showed no specific pathological findings.
