Methodology similar to OECD 423 (2001) - In an acute oral toxicity study, three group of female Wistar rats (5 -6 week old) were given a single oral dose of the test item using a gavage at dose rate of 2000 mg/kg bw followed by 7 days observation.
No mortality was noted during the observation period, no effects on body weight and no overt toxicological changes were noted. The oral LD50 was estimated to be greater than 2000 mg/kg bw.
In conclusion, the test item did not meet the criteria for classification according to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 on the Classification, Labelling and Packaging of Substances and Mixtures.
- Endpoint:
- acute toxicity: oral
- Type of information:
- (Q)SAR
- Adequacy of study:
- weight of evidence
- Reliability:
- 3 (not reliable)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- results derived from a valid (Q)SAR model and falling into its applicability domain, with adequate and reliable documentation / justification
- Remarks:
- A reliability of 3 is assigned for this QSAR due to the statistical results for the mean absolute error, which evaluates the prediction accuracy (please refer to the QMRFs and QPRF for further details). The prediction accuracy was judged not to be satisfactory for the majority of predictions.
- Justification for type of information:
- Please see the QPRF and QMRFs attached in this record. The U.S. EPA Toxicity Estimation Software Tool (T.E.S.T.) programme was used. Please note that the Consensus method predictions are used to fulfil the endpoint for the QSAR aspect of the weight-of-evidence. The other three reported methods (FDA, Hierarchical and Nearest Neighbor) all feature in the Consensus method - an average of these first three methods is taken for the Consensus method result.

- Executive summary:
A (Q)SAR approach has been used as part of a weight-of-evidence for supporting the acute toxicity oral endpoint.
The U.S. EPA Toxicity Estimation Software Tool (T.E.S.T.) (2008) was used to predict the acute oral toxicity for each constituent of the test substance. The result for constituent 1a is presented here. Two predictions were run for the constituent: saturated even numbered fatty acids C8 to C14, in order to obtain representative prediction results. Constituent 1b is presented in a separate IUCLID record.
The T.E.S.T. software offers four methods for predicting acute oral toxicity.
These are:
-FDA
-Hierarchical
-Nearest Neighbor
-Consensus
These methods are discussed in individual QMRFs attached in this record. The Consensus method is considered to produce the most reliable results. It takes an average from the other three methods, thereby dampening errant predictions and this method also achieved the best results during external validation. All methods formulate predictions based on an acute oral rat LD50 data set formed of experimental values. The output from the model is -Log10 (LD50mol/kg), converted to LD50 (mg/kg). The predicted acute oral toxicity (Consensus method) for constituent 1a was 9,580.53 mg/kg.

- Executive summary:
A (Q)SAR approach has been used as part of a weight-of-evidence for supporting the acute toxicity oral endpoint.
The U.S. EPA Toxicity Estimation Software Tool (T.E.S.T.) (2008) was used to predict the acute oral toxicity for each constituent of the test substance. The result for constituent 4 is presented here.
The T.E.S.T. software offers four methods for predicting acute oral toxicity.
These are:
-FDA
-Hierarchical
-Nearest Neighbor
-Consensus
These methods are discussed in individual QMRFs attached in this record. The Consensus method is considered to produce the most reliable results. It takes an average from the other three methods, thereby dampening errant predictions and this method also achieved the best results during external validation. All methods formulate predictions based on an acute oral rat LD50data set formed of experimental values. The output from the model is -Log10 (LD50mol/kg), converted to LD50(mg/kg). The predicted acute oral toxicity (Consensus method) for constituent 4 was 7,204.73 mg/kg.
- Endpoint:
- acute toxicity: oral
- Type of information:

- Adequacy of study:
- weight of evidence
- Reliability:
- 3 (not reliable)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- results derived from a valid (Q)SAR model and falling into its applicability domain, with adequate and reliable documentation / justification
- Remarks:
- A reliability of 3 is assigned for this QSAR due to the statistical results for the mean absolute error, which evaluates the prediction accuracy (please refer to the QMRFs and QPRF for further details). The prediction accuracy was judged not to be satisfactory for the of predictions of this constituent.
- Justification for type of information:
- Please see the QPRF and QMRFs attached in the IUCLID record for constituent 1a (these are relevant for all constituent predictions). The U.S. EPA Toxicity Estimation Software Tool (T.E.S.T.) programme was used. Please note that the Consensus method predictions are used to fulfil the endpoint for the QSAR aspect of the weight-of-evidence. The other three reported methods (FDA, Hierarchical and Nearest Neighbor) all feature in the Consensus method - an average of these first three methods is taken for the Consensus method result.

Additional information
A weight-of-evidence approach has been used to fulfil the acute toxicity oral endpoint. An in vivo study conducted using a method similar to an OECD 423 is described below. The test animals were only observed for 7 days post-exposure, instead of 14 days as stipulated by the guideline. Due to the defiency of the in vivo study, a QSAR approach has also been used in order to form the weight-of-evidence. A summary of this is also provided below.
Methodology similar to OECD 423 (2018)
In an acute oral toxicity study, three group of 5-6 week old female Wistar rats were given a single oral dose of the test item using a gavage at dose rate of 2000 mg/kg bw and observed for 7 days.
No mortality was noted during the observation period, no effects on body weight and no overt toxicological changes were noted. The oral LD50 was estimated to be greater than 2000 mg/kg bw.
In conclusion, the test item did not meet the criteria for classification according to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 on the Classification, Labelling and Packaging of Substances and Mixtures.
(Q)SAR (2019)
A (Q)SAR approach has been used as part of a weight-of-evidence for supporting the acute toxicity oral endpoint.
The U.S. EPA Toxicity Estimation Software Tool (T.E.S.T.) (2008) was used to predict the acute oral toxicity for each constituent of the test substance. Two predictions were run for each constituent (except one), with the SMILES for each reflecting the minimum and maximum carbon chain length. Therefore, the results are given as a range for each constituent.
The T.E.S.T. software offers four methods for predicting acute oral toxicity.
These are:
-FDA
-Hierarchical
-Nearest Neighbor
-Consensus
These methods are discussed in individual QMRFs attached in Section 7.2.1 (see record for constituent 1a). The results are presented in a QPRF attached in Section 7.2.1 (see record for constituent 1a).
Of the methods described above, the Consensus method is considered to produce the most reliable results. It takes an average from the other three methods, thereby dampening errant predictions and this method also acheived the best results during external validation. All methods formulate predictions based on an acute oral rat LD50data set formed of experimental values. The output from the model is -Log10 (LD50mol/kg), converted to LD50(mg/kg).
The U.S. EPA T.E.S.T. predictions using the Consensus method are presented below for all constituents.

The range for the predicted acute oral toxicity for all constituents is 5,458.83 - 19,771.90 mg/kg. Based on the individual constituent QSAR predictions, none of the constituents of the test substance met the criteria for classification according to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 on the Classification, Labelling and Packaging of Substances and Mixtures (CLP). Using mixture toxicity principles, the calculated mixture toxicity value was calculated to be 8,330.67 mg/kg bw. This value exceeds the criteria for classification according to CLP.
It can be considered in the context of these QSAR constituent results, based on additive mixture toxicity principles, that the test substance as a whole would also not be acutely toxic via the oral route.
These predictions are corroborated by the in vivo study conclusion that the substance would not be classified for acute oral toxicity according to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
Justification for classification or non-classification
The test item did not meet the criteria for classification according to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 on the Classification, Labelling and Packaging of Substances and Mixtures.
