obtained from: Harlan Italy S.r.l., 33049 San Pietro al Natisone (UD), Italy

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:

oral: gavage

Vehicle:

other: 0.5 % aqueous CMC (carboxymethyl cellulose)

Details on oral exposure:

dose volume of 10 ml/kg, using a rubber catheter attached to a syringe of suitable capacity. Animals were dosed only once.

- Frequency of observations and weighing: 30 minutes, 2 and 4 hours after dosing and daily thereafter for a total of 14 days.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes
- Other examinations performed: clinical signs, body weight,organ weights, histopathology.
All animals were killed on Day 15 by carbon dioxide narcosis

Results and discussion

Preliminary study:

a group of trhee female animals was dosed at a level of 2.000 mg/kg. No mortality occured.

Effect levels

Sex:

female

Dose descriptor:

LD50

Effect level:

> 2 000 mg/kg bw

Mortality:

No mortality occurred following dosing at 2000 mg/kg in either group of female animals.

Clinical signs:

other: Practically no clinical symptoma within 14 days: following dosing of the first 3 female animals at 2000 mg/kg (Step 1) the clinical signs observed on the day of dosing were limited to hunched posture and piloerection. Recovery occurred in all animals at t

Gross pathology:

No clinical effects:
no abnormalities were observed in any animal at the necropsy examination performed at termination of the study.

Any other information on results incl. tables

LD50 was shown to be greater than 2000 mg/kg body weight.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

not classified

Remarks:

Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU

Conclusions:

LD50 was shown to be greater than 2000 mg/kg body weight.

Executive summary:

The acute toxicity of Dipropylen glycol isobornyl ether was investigated following administration of a single oral dose to the rat. No mortality or severe signs of toxicity were observed following dosing at 2000 mg/kg. These results indicate that the test item, Dipropylen glycol isobornylether, has no toxic effect in the rat following oral administration of a single dose at a level of 2000 mg/kg. The mortality pattern observed demonstrates the LD50 to be greater than 2000 mg/kg body weight.
