- Executive summary:
The acute oral toxicity of the test substance Isomenthone was studied in a GLP test according to OECD TG 401 and EU Method B.1. Groups of five animals were exposed to single oral (gavage) doses of 1000, 1414 and 2000 mg/kg bw in females and of 2000 mg/kg bw in males. Animals were observed during a period of 14 days. No mortality was observed in the low ad the mid-dose groups, whereas 2 females and 1 male of the high-dose group died within one and two days after dosing. One female animal
treated with 2000 mg/kg bw was killed in extremis one day after dosing. The LD50 and 95 % confidence limits were calculated by the method of Thompson. (Thompson, W.R., Bact. Reviews, 11, 115-145 (1947).)
The LD50 value for females was 2119 mg/kg bw with a 95 % confidence interval of 1322 to 3396 mg/kg bw. Male animals were considered not to be markedly more sensitive to the test material than female animals. Clinical signs of toxicity were ataxia, hunched posture, lethargy, increased lacrimation, pilo-erection, ptosis, decreased respiratory rate, laboured respiration, redlbrown staining around the eyes, loss of righting reflex and splayed or tiptoe gait. Surviving animals recovered one to four days after dosing.

- Quality of whole database:
- Only one study is available in whole database for the acute dermal toxicity.
Additional information
-oral toxicity:
The read-across substance Isomenthone is not acutely toxic to rats in a reliable and valid acute oral toxicity study and the oral LD50 value is 2119 mg/kg body weight in female rats, whereas male rats were considered not to be markedly more sensitive to the test material than female rats (Sanders 1999).
- dermal toxicity:
The read-across substance Isomenthone is not acutely toxic in an acute dermal toxicity study in rabbits with a dermal LD50 value above 5 mL/kg body weight, i.e. above 4473 mg/kg body weight (Levenstein 1973).
Justification for selection of acute toxicity – oral endpoint
Only one reliable study as read-across from Isomenthone is available that could be considered as key study.
Justification for selection of acute toxicity – dermal endpoint
Only one study as read-across from Isomenthone is available that could be considered as key study.
Justification for classification or non-classification
- oral toxicity:
Based on the above stated assessment of the acute oral toxicity of Isomenthone, the results from reliable read-across study are above the threshold value given in the CLP Regulation. Therefore Reaction mass of isomenthone and trans-menthone does not need to be classified according to Council Directive 2001/59/EC (28th ATP of Directive 67/548/EEC) and according to CLP (Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council) as implementation of UN-GHS in the EU.
- dermal toxicity:
Based on the above stated assessment of the acute dermal toxicity of Isomenthone, the results of the read-across study are above the threshold value given in the CLP Regulation. Therefore Reaction mass of isomenthone and trans-menthone does not need to be classified according to Council Directive 2001/59/EC (28th ATP of Directive 67/548/EEC) and according to CLP (Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council) as implementation of UN-GHS in the EU.
- inhalation toxicity:
No inhalation studies are available and due to exposure considerations the conduction of studies and the classification and labelling for this endpoint is deemed not to be necessary.
