ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 22 ± 3 °C
- Humidity (%): 55 ± 15%
- Air changes (per hr): Approximately 15 air changes/h.
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12 hours lignt/day

other: 0.5% CMC + 0.1% Tween 80 in dist. water
Details on oral exposure:
VEHICLE
- Concentration in vehicle: 25, 50, 100 and 250 mg/ml
- Amount of vehicle (if gavage): 10 ml/kg bw
Doses:
250, 500, 1000, 2500 mg/kg bw
No. of animals per sex per dose:
5 males and 5 females
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days or until all symptoms have disappeared, whichever lasts longer.
- Frequency of observations and weighing:
Mortality = daily, a.m. and p.m. on working days
Signs and Symptoms = daily
Body weight = on days 1, 7, 14 and at death
- Necropsy of survivors performed: Yes, spontaneously dying animals were submitted to a gross necropsy as soon as possible; survivors at the end of the observation period.
Statistics:
From the body weights, the group means and their standard deviations were calculated.
The LD50 including the 95% confidence limit were computed by the logit metnod.

Any other information on results incl. tables

Within 1 hour following dosing, animals in all treatment groups exhibited dyspnoea, curved position, and ruffled fur. Other clinical signs and symptoms reported included sedation, exophthalmus and diarrhea. All surviving animals in the 250 and 500 mg/kg bw groups recovered by Day 9. There was no decrease in body weight gain for males at 250 mg/kg bw or for females at 250 and 500 mg/kg bw.

Mortality (number dead/total number tested):

250 mg/kg bw: Males, 0/5; Females, 1/5

500 mg/kg bw: Males, 5/5; Females, 1/5

1000 mg/kg bw: Males, 4/5; Females, 4/5

2500 mg/kg bw: Males, 5/5; Females, 5/5

Animals at 500 mg/kg and above died within 4-7 days following dosing. One female at 250 mg/kg bw died on day 8.

No compound-related gross organ changes were reported.

The acute lethal dose (LD50) and 95% confidence limits were reported as:

Males: 422 (11 - 932) mg/kg bw.

Females: 647 (233 - 1254) mg/kg bw

Both sexes: 510 (263 - 777) mg/kg bw.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Toxicity Category IV
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: other: EU-GHS (CLP), Regultion (EC) No. 1272/2008
Conclusions:
The acute lethal dose (LD50) and 95% confidence limits for dibutyltin maleate (DBTM) were reported as:
Males: 422 (11 - 932) mg/kg bw
Females: 647 (233 - 1254) mg/kg bw
Both sexes: 510 (263 - 777) mg/kg bw
Executive summary:

In an acute LD50 in the rat study, the test material, dibutyltin maleate, was found to have an LD50 of 510 mg/kg bw with confidence limits of 263 - 777 mg/kg bw in males/female. The LD50 for males is 422 mg/kg bw and for females 647 mg/kg bw.

Within 1 hour following dosing, animals all treatment groups exhibited dyspnoea, curved position, and ruffled fur. Other clinical signs and symptoms reported included sedation, exophthalmus and diarrhea. All surviving animals in the 250 and 500 mg/kg bw groups recovered by Day 9. There was no decrease in body weight gain for males at 250 mg/kg bw or for females at 250 and 500 mg/kg bw. Animals at 500 mg/kg bw and above died within 4-7 days following dosing. One female at 250 mg/kg bw died on day 8.

No compound-related gross organ changes were reported.

The study was conducted to the OECD Guideline no. 401.
