Description of key information
In an OECD Test Guideline 423 study, to GLP, the acute oral LD50 of diamminedichloropalladium was determined to be between 300 and 2000 mg/kg bw (Robertson, 2012).
In an OECD Test Guideline 402 study, to GLP, there were no deaths over a 2-week observation period following application of neat diamminedichloropalladium for 24 hours under occlusion at a limit dose of 2000 mg/kg bw to the skin of groups of 5 male and 5 female rats (Kiss, 2012a).
No relevant acute inhalation toxicity data were identified.

MAXIMUM DOSE VOLUME APPLIED: 10 mL/kg bw
DOSAGE PREPARATION (if unusual): A weighed amount of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) was blended with a measured volume of Milli-Q water. The blender was rinsed with more Milli-Q water and the vehicle was then made up to a final volume in a volumetric flask. The required amount of test item was weighed into a mortar bowl and approx. 70% of the vehicle gradually added and the mixture homogenized then transferred to a suitable container that held the remaining 30% of vehicle. Formulations were magnetically stirred until an orange-coloured formulation was obtained. Analysis of prepared formulations with regard to stability, concentration and homogeneity was not conducted however, examination of the formulation records indicated that all preparations had been prepared correctly.

- Gross pathology:
- There were no macroscopic abnormalities at 300 mg/kg bw.
At 2000 mg/kg bw, lesions to the stomachs of all 3 animals were noted and included thickening of the non-glandular stomach and abnormal (black) stomach contents in one animal, distention of the stomach and filing with brown liquid in another, and distention of the stomach, dark pink discolouration of the glandular serosa, black discolouration of the glandular mucosa, thickening of the glandular stomach and thinness of the non-glandular stomach in the third animal. Other macroscopic abnormalities included pale discolouration of the lobes of the lungs in one animal and abnormal (green) contents of the oesophagus and dark red dicolouration of the pancreas in another. - Interpretation of results:

- Conclusions:
- In an OECD Test Guideline 423 study, to GLP, the acute oral LD50 of diamminedichloropalladium was determined to be between 300 and 2000 mg/kg bw
- Executive summary:
In an acute oral toxicity test, conducted according to OECD Test Guideline 423 and to GLP, groups of 6 and 3 female rats were given a single oral intubation of 300 and 2000 mg/kg bw, respectively, and observed for 14 days.
No deaths were reported in any of the 6 animals at the lower dose and there were no effects on body weight gain and no macroscopic abnormalities. At 2000 mg/kg bw, unscheduled deaths were reported in 2 (euthanasia on days 9 and 13, respectively) of the 3 animals, with all animals showing overt signs of toxicity and (likely local) effects in the non-glandular stomach.
The acute oral median lethal dose (LD50) of diamminedichloropalladium was determined to be between 300 and 2000 mg/kg bw. Based on the results of this study, diamminedichloropalladium should be classified for acute oral toxicity (category 4) according to EU CLP criteria (EC 1272/2008).

- Executive summary:
In an acute toxicity test by the dermal route, conducted according to OECD Test Guideline 402 and to GLP, groups of 5 male and 5 female rats were dermally exposed to neat diamminedichloropalladium for 24 hours (under occlusion).
There were no deaths, clinical signs, gross pathological effects or indications of skin irritation in any of the animals over a 2 -week post-dose observation period. The acute dermal median lethal dose (LD50) of diamminedichloropalladium is greater than 2000 mg/kg bw in rats.
Based on the results of this study, diamminedichloropalladium does not need classification for acute dermal toxicity according to EU CLP criteria (EC 1272/2008).

There were no control animals; the benchmark by which there was considered to be no effect on body weights is not clear from the study report.

Additional information
No relevant acute toxicity human data were identified.
In an acute oral toxicity test, conducted according to OECD Test Guideline 423 and to GLP, groups of 6 and 3 female rats were given a single oral intubation of 300 and 2000 mg/kg bw, respectively, and observed for 14 days. No deaths were reported in any of the 6 animals at the lower dose and there were no effects on body weight gain and no macroscopic abnormalities. At 2000 mg/kg bw, unscheduled deaths were reported in 2 (euthanasia on days 9 and 13, respectively) of the 3 animals, with all animals showing overt signs of toxicity. The acute oral median lethal dose (LD50) of diamminedichloropalladium was determined to be between 300 and 2000 mg/kg bw (Robertson, 2012). Based on the results of this study, diamminedichloropalladium should be classified for acute oral toxicity (category 4) according to EU CLP criteria (EC 1272/2008).
In an acute dermal toxicity test, conducted according to OECD Test Guideline 402 and to GLP, groups of 5 male and 5 female rats were dermally exposed to neat diamminedichloropalladium for 24 hours (under occlusion). There were no deaths, clinical signs, gross pathological effects or indications of skin irritation in any of the animals over a 2 -week post-dose observation period. The acute dermal LD50 of diamminedichloropalladium is greater than 2000 mg/kg bw in rats (Kiss, 2012a). In support, the existing in vivo skin sensitisation study (Pooles, 2012), albeit limited in its assessment of systemic effects, indicates a lack of acute systemic toxicity following dermal exposure.
No acute inhalation toxicity data were identified. However, the compound is not expected to reach the lungs in appreciable quantities (based on respiratory tract deposition modelling data). Thus, inhalation will not be a significant route of exposure.
Justification for selection of acute toxicity – oral endpoint
OECD guideline study, to GLP, and the only acute oral toxicity study available.
Justification for selection of acute toxicity – dermal endpoint
GLP, OECD guideline study, and the only acute dermal toxicity study available.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Based on the results of the available and reliable acute oral rat study, diamminedichloropalladiumshould be classified for acute oral toxicity (category 4) according to EU CLP criteria (EC 1272/2008).
No classification for acute dermal toxicity is required, based on the results of the available and reliable acute dermal rat study with diamminedichloropalladium.
No clear evidence of specific target organ toxicity was noted. As such, classification for STOT-SE is not considered appropriate.
