- Gross pathology:
- There was no evidence of treatment related findings at necropsy. Pelvic dilatation of the right kidney was incidentally observed in one animal.
- Interpretation of results:
- other: not classified according to EU criteria
- Conclusions:
- Under the conditions of the study, no signs of acute toxicity were observed, and it can be concluded that the acute oral LD50 is greater than 2000 mg/kg bw.
- Executive summary:
The acute oral toxicity of the test material was assessed in study performed under GLP conditions and in line with OECD 423 and EU Method B.1 tris according to the acute toxic class method. Female CRL:(WI) rats were treated with the test material at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg bw in two groups. Initially, three females (Group 1) were treated at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg bw. As no mortality was observed, a confirmatory group (Group 2) was treated at the same dose level.
Under the conditions of the study no mortality was observed in either group. Animals showed normal weight gain. Liquid faeces were observed in all animals on the day of dosing; all animals had fully recovered, and were symptom free, from 6 hours after the treatment until the end of the observation period. There was no evidence of treatment related findings at necropsy. Pelvic dilatation of the right kidney was incidentally observed in one animal. It can therefore be concluded that the acute oral LD50 of the test material is in excess of 2000 mg/kg bw.

Additional information
Acute Oral Key Study (Read-Across, Kiss, 2011)
The acute oral toxicity of the test material was assessed in study performed under GLP conditions and in line with OECD 423 and EU Method B.1 tris according to the acute toxic class method. Female CRL:(WI) rats were treated with the test material at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg bw in two groups. Initially, three females (Group 1) were treated at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg bw. As no mortality was observed, a confirmatory group (Group 2) was treated at the same dose level.
Under the conditions of the study no mortality was observed in either group. Animals showed normal weight gain. Liquid faeces were observed in all animals on the day of dosing; all animals had fully recovered, and were symptom free, from 6 hours after the treatment until the end of the observation period. There was no evidence of treatment related findings at necropsy. Pelvic dilatation of the right kidney was incidentally observed in one animal. It can therefore be concluded that the acute oral LD50 of the test material is in excess of 2000 mg/kg bw.
Acute Oral Key Study (Read-Across, Masuyama, 2008)
The acute oral toxicity of the read-across material was assessed. The test material was administered once orally to mice in dosages of 5.0 g/kg, 10.0 g/kg and 20.0 g/kg.
Immediately after administration, a decrease in locomotor activity and diarrhoea were observed in the group that was administered 5.0 g/kg. One animal in this group died the second day after administration but the other 4 animals recovered. In the groups that were administered 10.0 g/kg and 20.0 g/kg, a decrease in locomotor activity, diarrhoea, and discharge of the substance administered from the naris were observed. In the group that was administered 20.0 g/kg, cyanosis, opisthotonus, and convulsions were also observed. Afterwards, all animals in the groups that were administered 10.0 g/kg and 20.0 g/kg died.
Based on the above, it was suggested, LD50 for this compound is greater than 5.0 g/kg body weight, less than 10.0 g/kg body weight.
Acute Oral Supporting Study (Muroi, 1971)
The acute oral toxicity of the test material was investigated in a study using male mice. The study was awarded a reliability score of 4 in accordance with the criteria set forth by Klimisch et al. (1997).
Mice were administered with a single dose of test material by oral gavage at 0.0, 4.0, 4.8, 5.8, 6.9, 8.3, 10.0, 12.0 and 14.3 g/kg. The animals were observed for mortality for a 14 day period at the following time points: Immediately after administration (0 hour), 2, 16, 24, 48, 72, 96, 120, 144, 168 and 336 hours after administration.
All animals in the 0 and 4 g/kg dose groups survived the duration of the observation period. 1, 2 and 6 animals died in the 4.8, 5.8 and 6.9 g/kg dose groups respectively during the 14 day observation period. In the 10.0, 12.0 and 14.3 g/kg dose groups no animals survived the 14 day observation period.
Under the conditions of the study the LD50 value of the test material was estimated to be 6.50 g/Kg bw (95 % confidence limits: 5.66 – 7.48 g/Kg).
Acute Inhalation Toxicity
Endpoint has been waived as testing by the inhalation route is not appropriate as exposure via inhalation is unlikely as the substance is a sticky, paste-like solid.
Acute Dermal Toxicity
Endpoint has been waived. The substance does not meet the criteria for classification as acute toxicity or STOT-SE by the oral route. In addition no systemic effects were observed in in vivo studies with dermal exposure, namely the in vivo skin irritation study and skin sensititsations studies. It can reasonably be predicted that the substance is not harmful by acute dermal exposure.
Justification for classification or non-classification
In accordance with the criteria for classification as defined in Annex I, Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, the substance does not require classification with respect to acute toxicity.
