Details on oral exposure:

GAVAGE METHOD: plastic feeding tubes.

VEHICLE
- Justification for choice of vehicle: The vehicle was selected based on trial formulations performed at NOTOX and on test substance data supplied by the sponsor.

MAXIMUM DOSE VOLUME APPLIED: 2000 mg/kg (10 mL/kg) body weight.

6 females (2 groups of 3 females in a stepwise manner)

Control animals:

no

Details on study design:

- Frequency of observations and weighing:
Mortality/Viability: Twice daily
Body weights: Days 1 (pre-administration), 8 and 15.
Clinical signs: At periodic intervals on the day of dosing (Day 1) and once daily thereafter, until Day 15. The symptoms were graded according to fixed scales and the time of onset, degree and duration were recorded.

Gross pathology:

No toxicologically relevant abnormalities were found at macroscopic post mortem examination of the animals.
One animal showed pelvic dilation in both kidneys. This finding is occasionally seen among rats of this age and strain and was therefore considered not related to treatment.

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

The oral LD50 value of CYANOX® 1790 Antioxidant in Wistar rats was established to exceed 2000 mg/kg body weight.
Based on these results, CYANOX® 1790 Antioxidant does not have to be classified and has no obligatory labelling requirement for acute oral toxicity.

Executive summary:

In a GLP compliant acute oral toxicity study, performed according to OECD guideline 423, the test item was administered to two groups of 3 female Sprague Dawley rats ata single dose level of 2000 mg/kg bw.

No mortalities or clinical signs were noted.

In conclusion, the LD50 ofthe test itemisdeterminedto be> 2000 mg/kg body weight by oral route in the rat.

Details on dermal exposure:

One day before exposure (Day -1) an area of approximately 5x7 cm on the back of the animal was clipped.
The formulation was applied in an area of approx. 10% of the total body surface, i.e. approx. 25 cm² for males and 18 cm² for females. The formulation was held in contact with the skin with a dressing, consisting of a surgical gauze patch (Surgy 1D), successively covered with aluminum foil and Coban elastic bandage. A piece of Micropore tape was additionally used for fixation of the bandages in females only.
Frequency: Single dosage, on Day 1.

Based on these results, CYANOX® 1790 Antioxidant does not have to be classified and has no obligatory labelling requirement for acute dermal toxicity.

Executive summary:

An acute dermal toxicity test with male and female rats was performed under GLP principles. The rats were exposed occlusively for 24 hours to 2000 mg/kg bw and observed for 14 days after removal of the test substance. No mortality, clinical signs or particular findings at necropsy were observed.

Based on these results, the LD50 of the test substance was found to be > 2000 mg/ kg bw and therefore the test substance is not classified.

Additional information

Acute Oral Toxicity

In an earlier non-guideline study, 10 male Wistar rats were treated with a single dose of 10 g/kg bw and observed for signs of toxicity for 14 days. The were no adverse effects reported in this study. The LD50 was reported as > 10,000 mg/kg bw. In a recent study conducted according to OECD Guideline 423, 6 female Wistar rats were treated up to a limit dose of 2000 mg/kg bw and observed for signs of toxicity for 14 days. There was no mortality or other toxicologically relevent abnormalities reported in this study. The LD50 was reported as > 2000 mg/kg bw.

Acute Dermal Toxiciy

In an earlier non-guideline study, 5 male albino rabbits were administered 5000 mg/kg bw dermally under semi-occlusive wrap and animals were then observed for signs of toxicity for 14 days. There was no mortality, signs of intoxication or irritation. No clinical signs were noted. The LD 50 was reported as > 5000 mg/kg bw. In a recent guideline study, groups of 5 male and female Wistar rats were administered 2000 mg/kg bw dermally under occlusive wrap. The exposure duration was 24 h after which the animals were observed for signs of toxicity for 14 days. There was no mortality and no abnormalities found at macroscopic examination at study termination. The LD 50 was reported as > 2000 mg/kg bw.

Justification for selection of acute toxicity – oral endpoint
A recent study conducted according to OECD Guideline 423 (Acute Toxicity Class Method).

Justification for selection of acute toxicity – dermal endpoint
A recent study conducted according to OECD Guideline 402 (Acute Dermal Toxicity).

Justification for classification or non-classification

In well-conducted oral and dermal acute toxicity studies in experimental animals, there was no significant toxicity noted. Thus, no classification for acute toxicity is warranted. Also, no classification for STOT (single) is warranted.
