- female
- Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
- TEST ANIMALS
- Source: Charles River, Margate, UK
- Females (if applicable) nulliparous and non-pregnant: Yes
- Age at study initiation: 8-9 weeks
- Weight at study initiation: All within ±20 % of the mean value
- Fasting period before study: Yes, on the evening prior to dosing.
- Housing: The animals were housed in groups of up to five during the acclimatisation period in cages that conform to the 'Code of Practice for the Housing and Care of Animals Bred, Supplied or Used for Scientific Purposes’ (Home Office, London, 2014). From the day prior to dosing (Day-1), the rats were housed in groups of three in similar cages. Bedding was provided on a weekly basis to each cage by use of clean European soft wood bedding (Datesand Ltd., Manchester, UK). Each batch of bedding was analysed for specific constituents and contaminants. No contaminants were present in bedding at levels which might have interfered with achieving the objective of the study. Results are retained on file at Covance.
- Diet (e.g. ad libitum): Throughout the study the animals had access to 5LF2 EU Rodent Diet 14%, which was freely available to the animals at all times, except for a period of fasting from the evening of the day prior to dosing (Day-1) until approximately 3 hours after dosing. Each batch of diet had been analysed for specific constituents and contaminants by the manufacturer. No contaminants were present in diet at levels which might have interfered with achieving the objective of the study. Results are retained on file at Covance.
- Water (e.g. ad libitum): Mains water was provided ad libitum via cage mounted water bottles. The water was periodically analysed for specific contaminants. No contaminants were present in water at levels which might have interfered with achieving the objective of the study. Results are retained on file at Covance.
- Acclimation period: 7 to 10 days.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 20-24 ºC

Administration / exposure
- Route of administration:
- oral: gavage
- Vehicle:
- water
- Details on oral exposure:
- VEHICLE
- Concentration in vehicle: 30, 103 and 200 mg/mL for the 300. 1031 and 2000 mg/kg bw groups, respectively.
- Amount of vehicle (if gavage): 10 mL/kg bw
- Justification for choice of vehicle: n/a
- Lot/batch no. (if required): n/a
- Purity: n/a
MAXIMUM DOSE VOLUME APPLIED: 2000 mg/kg bw (applied from a 200 mg/mL formulation).
DOSAGE PREPARATION (if unusual): The test article was dispersed in purified water. The formulated concentrations were calculated from the selected dose level and the dose volume of 10 mL/kg. All formulations were used within two hours of preparation.
The formulations were either maintained on a magnetic stirrer or the dose containers repeatedly inverted prior to administration, to ensure homogeneity.
CLASS METHOD (if applicable)
- Rationale for the selection of the starting dose: Maximum concentration as stipulated in OECD 423. - Doses:
- 2000, 1031 and 300 mg/kg bw
- No. of animals per sex per dose:
- 6 animals receievd the 300 mg/kg bw dose, groups of 3 animals each received 1031 and 2000 mg/kg bw. Dosing of the group at 1031 mg/kg bw was conducted in error, but does not impact the validity of the study.
- Control animals:
- no
- Details on study design:
- - Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: Treated rats were observed closely for clinical signs of reaction to treatment. Clinical signs were recorded immediately post-dose, at approximately 15 and 30 minutes post-dose, hourly between 1 and 4 hours post-dose (inclusive), twice daily on Days 2, 3 and 4 and once daily from the fifth to last day of the observation period. Individual records of clinical signs and times of death were maintained for each treated rat. Individual body weights were recorded on Day-1 (day before dosing) and on Days 1, 4, 8 and 15. Decedent carcass weights were also recorded prior to necropsy.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes
- Other examinations performed: clinical signs, body weight.
Results and discussion
Effect levels
- Key result
- Sex:
- female
- Dose descriptor:
- LD50
- Effect level:
- > 300 - <= 2 000 mg/kg bw
- Based on:
- test mat.
- Mortality:
- Three animals treated at 2000 mg/kg and one animal treated at 1031 mg/kg were found dead one day after dosing. There were no deaths amongst animals treated at 300 mg/kg.
- Clinical signs:
- other: No clinical signs were seen in animals treated at 300 mg/kg. Common clinical signs seen in animals treated at 1031 or 2000 mg/kg were piloerection, hunched posture and decreased activity. The clinical signs developed from 30 minutes after dosing and last
- Gross pathology:
- No abnormalities were noted at necropsy of animals that died or were killed at the end of the study.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- Category 4 based on GHS criteria
- Conclusions:
- Based on the conditions of this study, the test article was classified as Category 4 in respect of its acute oral toxicity according to the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS).
- Executive summary:
OECD 423 (2017) - In an acute oral toxicity study (OECD 423), groups of fasted, 8-9 week old, female Crl:WI(Han) rats were given a single oral dose of Benzenesulfonicacid, 4 -C10 -13 -sec-alkyl derivs., ammonium salts at doses 2000, 1031 and 300 mg/kg bw and observed for 14 days.
Oral LD50 Females = >300 - 2000 mg/kg bw.
According to the UN GHS classification, the test item can be classified as Category 4 in respect of its acute oral toxicity.
