Additional information

Acute toxicity: oral

In an acute toxic class toxicity study, 2 groups containing three Crj: CD(SD) female rats (8 weeks old) were each administered the test substance (99.9% pure) via gavage after a ca. 19 hour fasting period. The test substance was administered at the limit dose of 2,000 mg/kg bw in 0.5% (w/v) methylcellulose solution. Animals were subsequently observed for a period of 14 day in which time clinical signs of toxicity, body weights changes and cases of mortality were noted. 

Death did not occur in either group. Hence, the LD 50 is higher than 2,000 mg/kg bw. No clinical signs of toxicity were observed up to the end of the 14-days observation period. Body weight development was normal and at necropsy, no deviations from normal morphology were found (Nihon Bioresearch Center Inc., 2007).

This study is suitable for assessment of acute oral toxicity as it was performed under GLP and according to the protocol of OECD 423.

 

In a standard acute oral toxicity study, the test substance (no data on purity) was administered via gavage to groups of five overnight fasted Tif Raif (SPF) rats per sex per dose. Treatment was performed as a single dose application at dose levels of 4,640, 6,000 or 7,750 mg/kg bw in polyethylene glycol (PEG 400). Animals were subsequently observed for a period of 14 day in which time clinical signs of toxicity, body weights changes and cases of mortality were noted. 

Death did not occur at any dose level. Hence the LD 50 is higher than 7,750 mg/kg bw. Registered clinical signs of toxicity seen in all groups were sedation, dyspnoea, curved position and ruffled fur. The animals recovered within 8 to 10 days. Body weight development was normal and at necropsy, no deviations from normal morphology were found (Ciba Geigy Ltd. 1978).

This study is suitable for assessment of acute oral toxicity as it was performed using a protocol which is similar and equivalent to the delete OECD 401 guideline.

 

Acute toxicity: dermal

In an acute dermal toxicity study, groups of five young adult CFE (RAC; SPF) rats per sex per dose were dermally exposed to the test substance (no data on purity in 0.5 % (w/v) carboxymethyl cellulose (aqueous) for 24 hours to a skin surface of 100 cm2/kg bw at the limit dose of 2,000 mg/kg bw. Substance application was performed under occlusive dressing. Animals were then observed for 8 days. 

No mortalities occurred. LD 50 thus lies higher than 2,000 mg/kg bw. No clinical signs of toxicity were observed up to the end of the 8-day observation period. There were no treatment related changes in body weight. Necropsy of surviving animals was not performed (Ciba Geigy Ltd. 1972). 

This study does not fully satisfy the requirement of OECD 402 for Acute Dermal Toxicity data as treatments were performed under occlusive conditions and necropsy of surviving animals was not performed. In addition, there is limited data provided on test substance (e.g. there is no data on test substance purity).

 

Acute toxicity: inhalation

There are no reliable data available covering this endpoint.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Classification, Labelling, and Packaging Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008

The available experimental test data are reliable and suitable for classification purposes under Regulation 1272/2008. No mortality occurred at the limit dose of 2000 mg/kg bw. As a result, the substance is not considered to be classified for acute oral or dermal toxicity under Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008, as amended for the thirteenth time in Regulation (EC) No. 2018/1480.
