Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- Category 3 based on GHS criteria
- Conclusions:
- The lethal concentration (LD50) value for acute oral toxicity test was considered to be 223 mg/kg (95% confidence limits:136-366 mg/kg),when 6 male rats were treated with Methyltricaprylyl Ammonium Chloride (5137-55-3) orally.
- Executive summary:
Acute oral toxicity study was done in 6 male rats using test material Methyltricaprylyl Ammonium Chloride (5137-55-3).Peanut oil was used as vehicle.50% Mortality was observed at dose 223 mg/kg bw.Dominant Clinical signs at lethal dosages like respiratory depression, gastrointestinal hypermotility,diarrhea, labored breathing and discharge from eye were observed.Hence,LD50 value was considered to be223 mg/kg bw(95% confidence limits:136-366 mg/kg),when rats were treated with Methyltricaprylyl Ammonium Chloride (5137-55-3)orally.
