Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- Category 5 based on GHS criteria
- Conclusions:
- No mortality occurred in the six animals following dosing at 2000 mg/kg bw. Decreased activity, ataxia, hunched posture and piloerection were observed in all animals on the day of dosing but had resolved by Day 2 of the study. The acute toxicity estimate (ATE) is therefore >2000 mg/kg bw. No classification is required for acute toxicity according to CLP criteria.
- Executive summary:
The acute toxicity of DMP Tech. (reaction mass of 2-ethyl-2 -(methoxymethyl)-propane-1,3-diol and 2 -ethylpropane-1,3 -diol) was investigated following a single oral administration to the Sprague Dawley rat followed by a 14-day observation period. A first group of three female rats was initially dosed at 2000 mg/kg bw (Step 1). No mortality occurred. Some clinical signs were observed in all animals on the day of dosing: hunched posture and ataxia were recorded from 30 minutes after dosing up to 4 hours after dosing, piloerection from two hours up to 4 hours and decreased activity at two hours after dosing. In addition, one animal showed rales at 30 minutes after dosing. A second group of three female rats was dosed at the same dose level (Step 2). No mortality occurred. Decreased activity was recorded in all animals from 30 minutes up to 4 hours after dosing, ataxia from 30 minutes up to two hours after dosing, hunched posture and piloerection at 4 hours after dosing. Bodyweight changes recorded during the study were within the expected range for this strain and age of animals. Gross necropsy did not reveal any effects of treatment. The acute oral LD50 of DMP Tech. was therefore found to the >2000 mg/kg bw under the conditions of this study.
