- Acclimation period: 5 days
ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 68-74ºF
- Humidity (%): 35-65%
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12 hours /12 hours
Administration / exposure
- Route of administration:
- oral: gavage
- Vehicle:
- unchanged (no vehicle)
- Doses:
- 5.01 g/kg body weight
- No. of animals per sex per dose:
- group of 5 male and 5 female rats.
- Control animals:
- no
- Details on study design:
- - Duration of observation period following administration: Animals were observed for mortality and pharmacotoxic signs frequently during the first 5 hours and then at approximately 24 hours following dosing and twice daily for the remainder of the 14 day observation period, (once daily Saturday and Sunday)
- Frequency of weighing: each animal were determined pre-fasted, on the day of dosing, weekly thereafter and at sacrifice.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes. Animals that survived through the 14 day observation period were sacrified and a gross necropsy was performed. Any animal found dead during the study would have undergone necropsy immediately. The gross necropsy included by was not limited to the following organs: heart, lungs, spleen, liver, adrenals, kidneys, urinary bladder, stomach, small intestine, large intestine and reproductive organs. - Statistics:
- None used
Results and discussion
Effect levels
- Sex:
- male/female
- Dose descriptor:
- LD50
- Effect level:
- > 5 other: g/kg bw
- Mortality:
- There were no deaths
- Clinical signs:
- other: At one hour after dosing two males showed decreased locomotor activity and the remaninder of the group (3 male, 5 female) were ataxic. Similar signs persisted at three hours. At five hours following dosing several rats (4 male, 1 female) also showed yello
- Gross pathology:
- At necropsy all organs and tissues examined grossly appeared normal and there were no pathognomonic signes.
Any other information on results incl. tables
There were no deaths among rats dosed at 5.01 g/kg body weight, therefore the LD50 is greater than 5.0 g/kg. The EPA oral toxicity indicator for test substance dipropylene glycol is best described ar Category IV.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
