Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- study cannot be used for classification
- Remarks:
- Migrated information
- Conclusions:
- Under the experimental conditions, the oral LD0 of dibenzoyl peroxide is higher than 2000mg/kg in ICR mouse.
- Executive summary:
The Acute oral toxicity of dibenzoyl peroxide was evaluated in rats according to OECD N°401 guideline (Acute Toxic Standard Method). Groups of 5 male and 5 female ICR mouse were given a single oral dose of 2000 mg/kg. Following treatment, rats were observed daily and weighted weekly. A gross necropsy examination was performed at the time of scheduled euthanasia (Day 14).
During exposure, the only clinical sign observed was piloerection. This symptom was reversible after one day. No animal died following exposure. At necropsy, no abnormal finding was observed in all dosed animals.
Under these experimental conditions, the oral LD0 of dibenzoyl peroxide is expected to be more than 2000 mg/kg in ICR mouse.
