- Clinical signs:
- other: Signs of toxicity at 1 mL/kg or more were: dilated pupils, salivation 10 mL/kg bw: convulsions; local erythema, edema and necrosis (persisted for 1-7 d) and scab formation at day 14.
- Gross pathology:
- Dead animals showed red mottled lungs, patchy congestion of tracheal mucosa, and a few stomachs with superficial black foci at necropsy.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- Category 3 based on GHS criteria
- Conclusions:
- Under the evaluated conditions, LD50 values for male rabbits of 1370 mg/kg bw and females of 790 mg/kg bw were determined.
- Executive summary:
New Zealand White rabbits were dermally exposed under occlusive conditions to the test substance with the application of 2, 1 and 0.5 mL/kg bw, equivalent to 1940, 970 and 485 mg/kg bw tested to male and female rabbits (5/sex/dose). Additionally only in males 10 and 5 mL/kg bw, equivalent to 9700 and 4850 mg/kg bw were tested.
No animal died within the lowest dose group, but 1/5 males and 4/5 females died in the 1 mL/kg dose group, 4/5 males and 5/5 females in the 2 mL/kg dose group and all males in the two highest dose groups of 5 and 10 mL/kg. Death occurred within 1-24 h after application.
Signs of toxicity at 1 mL/kg or more were: dilated pupils, salivation
10 mL/kg bw: convulsions; local erythema, edema and necrosis (persisted for 1-7 d) and scab formation at day 14.No effect on bodyweight was observed in the surviving animals.
Dead animals showed red mottled lungs, patchy congestion of tracheal mucosa, and a few stomachs with superficial black foci at necropsy.
Under the evaluated conditions, LD50 values for male rabbits of 1370 mg/kg bw and females of 790 mg/kg bw were determined.
