Reaction mass of (4R)-4-(2-methoxypropan-2-yl)-1-methylcyclohexene and cis-1-methoxy-4-(2-methoxypropan-2-yl)-1-methylcyclohexane

Endpoint summary

Description of key information

OECD 420, 2017 - The acute oral toxicity of the Reaction mass of (4R)-4-(2-methoxypropan-2-yl)-1-methylcyclohexene and cis-1-methoxy-4-(2-methoxypropan-2-yl)-1-methylcyclohexane in the Wistar strain rat was investigated using the fixed dose method (OECD 420).

Following a sighting test at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg, an additional four fasted female animals were given a single oral dose of test item at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg body weight.  Clinical signs and body weight development were monitored during the study.  All animals were subjected to gross necropsy.

There were no deaths.  There were no signs of systemic toxicity.  All animals showed expected gains in body weight.

Under the study condition the acute oral median lethal dose (LD₅₀) of the test item in the female Wistar strain rat was estimated to be greater than 2000 mg/kg body weight.

DOSAGE PREPARATION (if unusual): N/A

CLASS METHOD (if applicable)
- Rationale for the selection of the starting dose: Sighting test at 2000 mg/kg bw (1 rat) concluded no toxic effect.

Doses:

All animals were dosed once only by gavage, using a metal cannula attached to a graduated syringe. The volume of test item administered to each animal was calculated according to the fasted body weight at the time of dosing.

No. of animals per sex per dose:

1 female in the sighting test (2000 mg/kg bw)

Control animals:

no

Details on study design:

- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: 0.5, 1, 2 and 4 hours after dosing. Twice daily, early and late during the normal working day, and once daily at weekends (and public holidays) thereafter.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: Yes
- Other examinations performed: clinical signs, body weight, macroscopic observations

Not required.

Justification for classification or non-classification

OECD 420, 2017 - The acute oral toxicity of the Reaction mass of (4R)-4-(2-methoxypropan-2-yl)-1-methylcyclohexene and cis-1-methoxy-4-(2-methoxypropan-2-yl)-1-methylcyclohexane in the Wistar strain rat was investigated using the fixed dose method (OECD 420).

Following a sighting test at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg, an additional four fasted female animals were given a single oral dose of test item at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg body weight.  Clinical signs and body weight development were monitored during the study.  All animals were subjected to gross necropsy.

There were no deaths.  There were no signs of systemic toxicity.  All animals showed expected gains in body weight.  No abnormalities were noted at necropsy.

Further, there was no evidence to suggest that GHS category 5 would be relevant for protection of vulnerable populations.  Testing to 5000 mg/kg is discouraged unless there is strong evidence that the results of such testing would have direct relevance to to the protection of human health.

The substance does not meet the criteria for acute toxicity based on current GHS or CLP criteria.
