Results and discussion
Effect levels
- Sex:
- male/female
- Dose descriptor:
- approximate LD50
- Effect level:
- > 2 000 mg/kg bw
- Based on:
- test mat.
- Mortality:
- No mortality occured after a 24 hour dermal exposure to GASIR 1 followed by a 14-day observation period
- Clinical signs:
- other: No clinical signs were observed
- Other findings:
- Small testes or epididymides, pelvic dilatation of the left kidney and luminal dilatation of the uterine horns were incidentally seen at necropsy.
Local dermal signs: Russet staining was recorded on the skin in all animals after dosing. The discoloration of the skin lasted up to day 4 in the male and day 8 in the female animals. No other local dermal signs were observed.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- The acute dermal median lethal dose (LD50) of the test item GASIR was found to be higher than 2000mg/kg body weight in male and female RjHan:(WI) Wistar rats.
- Executive summary:
An acute dermal toxicity study was performed with test item GASIR1 in RjHan:(WI) Wistar rats, in compliance with OECD Guideline No.: 402.
A limit test was carried out at 2000mg/kg body weight (bw) in both sexes (5 rats/sex). The test item was applied as supplied, moistened with water, as a single dermal 24-hour exposure followed by a 14-day observation period.
Clinical observations were performed on all animals at 1 and 5 hours after dosing and daily for 14 days thereafter. Body weight was measured prior to dosing on Day 0 and on Days 7 and 14. Rats were euthanized and a gross macroscopic examination performed at the end of the 2-week observation period (Day 14).
The results of the study were summarized as follows:
Mortality
No mortality occurred.
Systemic clinical signs
No clinical signs were observed after the treatment with the test item or during the 14-day observation period.
Local dermal signs
No local dermal signs were observed during the entire study period. However, russet staining was observed on the skin in all animals after dosing from Day 1 to Day 4 in the males and Day 1 to Day 8 in the female animals.
Body weight
The body weight and body weight gain of GASIR1 treated animals did not show any test item-related effect.
Necropsy
There was no evidence of the test item-related observations at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg bw at necropsy. Small testes or epididymides, pelvic dilatation of the left kidney and luminal dilatation of the uterine horns were incidentally seen.
Conclusions
The acute dermal median lethal dose (LD50) of the test item GASIR1 was found to be higher than 2000 mg/kg bw in male and female RjHan:(WI) Wistar rats.
