- Executive summary:
The study was performed to assess the acute oral toxicity of AO-26 an Antioxidant for plastics, to the rat. A group of three fasted female rats received a single oral gavage dose of the test substance,
formulated in corn oil at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg bodyweight. As results at this dose level indicated the acute lethal oral dose of the test substance to be greater than 2000 mg/kg bodyweight, in compliance with the study guidelines, a further group of three fasted females was similarly dosed at 2000mg/kg bodyweight to complete the study.
Results
There were no deaths during the study. Clinical signs of reaction to treatment comprised loose faeces seen in three females dosed at 2000 mg/kg. These signs were first noted approximately four hours after dosing. Recovery, as judged by external appearance and behaviour, was complete by Day 2. A low bodyweight gain was noted for one female on Day 15. All other animals were considered to have achieved satisfactory bodyweight gains throughout the study. No abnormalities were noted in any animal at the macroscopic examination at study termination on Day 15.
Conclusion
The acute median lethal oral dose (LD50) to rats of AO-26 was demonstrated to be greater than 2000 mg/kg bodyweight.

Additional information
Justification for classification or non-classification
The LD50 by oral and dermal administration to rats was determined to be greater than 2000 mg/kg; on this basis no classification is required for oral and dermal toxicity according to the CLP regulation.
