Preliminary study:

In the absence of mortality at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg bw, an additional group of animals was treated at the same dose level.

Key result

Sex:

female

Dose descriptor:

LD50

Effect level:

> 2 000 mg/kg bw

Based on:

test mat.

Mortality:

There were no deaths.

Clinical signs:

other: There were no signs of systemic toxicity noted in the initial treated animal. Hunched posture and ataxia were noted up to one day after dosing in the four additional treated animals.

Gross pathology:

No abnormalities were noted at necropsy.

Other findings:

None

None

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

Under the experimental conditions of this study, the test item is not classified according to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (CLP) and to GHS since the Rat Oral LD50 (females) > 2000 mg/kg bw and no
mortality or any adverse effects were observed.

Executive summary:

In an acute oral toxicity study performed according to the OECD test guideline No. 420 and in compliance with GLP, groups of fasted, eight to twelve weeks of age Wistar (RccHan^TM:WIST) female rats were given a single oral dose of ST 15 C 12.

Following a sighting test using one animal at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg bw, an additional four fasted female animals were given a single oral dose of test item, at the same dose level. Clinical signs and bodyweight development were monitored during the study. All animals were subjected to gross necropsy.

Oral LD₅₀ Females > 2000 mg/kg bw

There were no deaths during the study. Hunched posture and ataxia were noted in four animals. There were no signs of systemic toxicity noted in the initial treated animal

All animals showed expected gains in bodyweight. No abnormalities were noted at necropsy.

Under the experimental conditions of this study, the test item is not classified according to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (CLP) and to GHS since the Rat Oral LD50 (females) > 2000 mg/kg bw and no mortality or any adverse effects were observed.

This study is considered as acceptable and satisfies the requirement for acute oral toxicity endpoint.

Additional information

Acute toxicity: oral:

A key study was identified (Harlan, 2012). This acute oral toxicity study was according to the OECD test guideline No. 420 and in compliance with GLP. Following a sighting test using one animal at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg bw, an additional four fasted female animals were given a single oral dose of test item, at the same dose level.

There were no deaths during the study. Hunched posture and ataxia were noted in four animals. There were no signs of systemic toxicity noted in the initial treated animal. All animals showed expected gains in bodyweight. No abnormalities were noted at necropsy.

Oral LD₅₀ Females > 2000 mg/kg bw.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Harmonized classification:

The substance has no harmonized classification according to the Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.

Self-classification:

Acute toxicity (Oral):

Based on the available data, the substance is:

- not classified according to the Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (CLP) as the oral LD50 is higher than 2000 mg/kg bw

- not classified according to the GHS since there is no reliable evidence that indicates the LD50 to be in the range of Category 5 values (GHS criteria not met).

Acute toxicity (Dermal):

No data was available

Acute toxicity (Inhalation):

No data was available.

Specific target organ toxicity: single exposure (Oral):

The classification criteria according to the Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 as specific target organ toxicant (STOT) – single exposure, oral are not met since no reversible or irreversible adverse health effects were observed immediately or delayed after exposure and no effects were observed at the guidance value (oral) for a Category 1 classification (C≤ 300 mg/kg bw) and at the guidance value (oral) for a Category 2 classification (2000 mg/kg bw≥C > 300 mg/kg bw). No classification is required.

The criteria for Transient Organ effects (STOT-SE Category 3) according to the Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 are not met since only hunched posture and ataxia were observed at a high dose level (2000 mg/kg bw) and animals fully recovered within one day.

Specific target organ toxicity: single exposure (Dermal):

No information was available

Specific target organ toxicity: single exposure (Inhalation):

No information was available.
