Test animals

Species:

rat

Strain:

Wistar

Sex:

female

Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:

The animals were housed in groups of up to four in suspended solid-floor polypropylene cages furnished with woodflakes. With the exception of an overnight fast immediately before dosing and for approximately three to four hours after dosing, free access to mains drinking water and food (2014C Teklad Global Rodent diet supplied by Harlan Laboratories UK Ltd., Oxon, UK) was allowed throughout the study. The diet, drinking water and bedding were routinely analysed and were considered not to contain any contaminants that would reasonably be expected to affect the purpose or integrity of the study.
The temperature and relative humidity were set to achieve limits of 19 to 25°C and 30 to 70% respectively. Any occasional deviations from these targets were considered not to have affected the purpose or integrity of the study. The rate of air exchange was at least fifteen changes per hour and the lighting was controlled by a time switch to give twelve hours continuous light (06:00 to 18:00) and twelve hours darkness. The animals were provided with environmental enrichment items which were considered not to contain any contaminant of a level that might have affected the purpose or integrity of the study.

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:

oral: gavage

Vehicle:

unchanged (no vehicle)

Details on oral exposure:

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

Doses:

Limit dose, 2000 mg/kg of body weight

No. of animals per sex per dose:

5

Control animals:

no

Details on study design:

All animals were dosed once only by gavage at 2000 mg/kg of body weight. Deaths and overt signs of toxicity were recorded , 1, 2 and 4 hours after dosing and subsequently once daily for 14 days. Individual bodyweights were recorded on the day of treatment (day 0) and on days 7 and 14, or at death. At the end of the study the animals were sacrificed and subjected to macroscopic examination. This consisted of opening the abdominal and examining all major organs. The macroscopic apperance of abnormal organs if present was recorded.

Statistics:

Not required.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

practically nontoxic

Remarks:

Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: expert judgment

Conclusions:

The acute oral median lethal dose (LD50) of the test material, 4,4'-Isopropylidenediphenol, oligomeric reaction products with 1-chloro-2,3-epoxypropane, reaction products with fatty acids, C18-unsatd., dimers in the female Wistar strain rat was found to be greater than 2000 mg/kg bodyweight.

Executive summary:

An O.E.C.D. test guideline no. 420 Fixed dose Acute Oral Toxicity Study in the rat was conducted at the Limit Dose of 2000 mg/kg of body weight of the test substance, 4,4'-Isopropylidenediphenol, oligomeric reaction products with 1-chloro-2,3-epoxypropane, reaction products with fatty acids, C18-unsatd., dimers. The acute oral median lethal dose (LD50) of the test substance in the female Wistar strain rat is greater than 2000mg/kg bodyweight.
