- Details on study design:
- The study was divided into three trials:
In the first 4 dogs (2 males and 2 females) were treated with single doses of the test substance at 0.063, 0.125, 0.25 and 0.5 mg/kg bw, with a 3 week wash-out period between each dosing and starting with the highest dose; blood was taken for plasma and erythrocyte ChE activity at time 0, 20, 60, 90, 120, 180 and 360 min and 1, 7, 14 and 21 d, after administration of the test substance. Three weeks later the four dogs were treated with the test substance again at the highest dose used in trial 1, namely 0.5 mg/kg bw, and one hour later killed for brain ChE determination.
In the second trial was the test substance administered to groups of 4 dogs (2 males and two females) at a dose of 0.5 mg/kg bw or 2.0 mg/kg bw. Blood was taken for determination of plasma and erythrocyte ChE activity before administration of the test material and 1 and 2 h later. The animals were then killed and brain was taken for ChE activity estimation.
In the third trial, the test substance was administered at a dose of 1.0 mg/kg bw to 4 dogs (2 males and 2 females), blood being taken for estimation of plasma and erythrocyte ChE activity before administration of the test material and 1, 2, 4, and 24 h later. The dogs were then killed and brain taken for ChE estimation (i.e. 24 h after administration of the test substance). Throughout, plasma and erythrocyte ChE activity was expressed as a percentage of the activity at time 0 in the case of the plasma and erythrocyte (i.e. each dog was its own control).
In all 3 trials, the dogs were monitored for cholinergic signs and symptoms. Food intake was determined daily and body weight measured weekly. Eight control dogs from two other studies were used to establish “control” values of brain ChE activity. - Observations and clinical examinations performed and frequency:

- Details on results:
- Trial 1 - Plasma and erythrocyte ChE activity
No clinical sign of cholinergic toxicity was seen up to 0.5 mg/kg bw in trial 1. Clinical signs of cholinergic toxicity were seen at 0.5 mg/kg bw and above, as was vomiting. Atropine was given to the 2.0 mg/kg bw group 30-60 minutes after dosing. No effect was seen on feed intake or on body weight.
In trial 1, at 0.125 mg/kg bw and above plasma ChE activity was consistently and significantly reduced, but had largely recovered by 24h, whereas at 0.063 mg/kg body weight, significant inhibition (20.6%) was only observed at one time point (2h after dosing). Recovery was nearly complete at all doses by 24h. In trial 1, at all doses, erythrocyte ChE activity was <20% reduced. Maximum effects were seen at 60 – 90 minutes after administration of the material.
Trial 2 - Plasma and erythrocyte ChE activity
In trial 2, considerable degrees of depression of plasma ChE activity were recorded at 0.5 mg/kg bw (almost 80% at 60 min), while virtually complete inhibition was observed at 2.0 mg/kg bw. In trial 2, inhibition of erythrocyte ChE activity was >20% in both 0.5 and 2.0 mg/kg bw during the whole experiment (2h).
Trial 3 - Plasma and erythrocyte ChE activity
In trial 3, erythrocyte ChE activity was most inhibited at 60 and 120 min after dosing, biologically significant inhibition of erythrocyte ChE activity was not seen at 24h (dose 1 mg/kg bw).
Brain ChE activity
Brain ChE activity was measured on the 4 dogs of trial 1, 1 h after administration of the test substance at a dose of 0.5 mg/kg and on the 4 dogs from trial 2 that had been administered the test substance at the same dose, but 2 hours after administration of the test substance: in both cases, the activity was greater than in the brains from the control animals. Brain ChE activity in dogs killed 2h after administration of the test substance, 2.0 mg/kg bw, was 6.05 U/g tissue (control values were 2.71 U/g); however in trial 3, where animals, administered the test substance at a dose of 1.0 mg/kg bw, were killed 24h after dosing brain ChE activity was 2.05 U/g, when the brain was taken immediately and frozen, and 2.15 U/g when brain was frozen 3h after sacrifice. - Key result

- Executive summary:
The test item was orally administered to groups of male and female Beagle dogs by gavage at single doses of 0, 0.063, 0.125, 0.25, 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 mg/kg bw. The test substance was applied as a solution in water / Cremophor EL (2 %). The application volume was 5 - 10 mL/kg bw.
No treatment-related effects on feed intake or body weight development were observed. At > 0.5 mg/kg bw the animals showed slight cholinergic clinical signs. One animal vomited at 0.5 mg/kg bw. Further dose escalation lead to severe symptoms of intoxication like defecation, shivering, recumbancy, and finally cramps at 2.0 mg/kg bw.
A dose dependent decrease of plasma ChE activity was seen at > 0.125 mg/kg bw with a > 60 % inhibition at 0.5 mg/kg bw. The maximum inhibition occurred 60 to 90 minutes after administration. Determinations after 7, 14, and 21 days indicated full recovery. A dose of 0.5 mg/kg bw caused a slight decrease of ery ChE. Maximal inhibition was 60 to 90 minutes after administration. Recovery was complete after 24 hours. The determination of brain ChE yielded a time related increase. The increase was most pronounced 2 h after administration. At a dose level of 2.0 mg/kg bw brain ChE was not decreased. A single oral dose of 0.25 mg the test substance per kg bw to dogs was a NOAEL with regard to inhibition of erythrocyte ChE.

Justification for classification or non-classification
The information provided below was taken from the original plant protection dossier on the active substance submitted in 2017 for inclusion of the test substance to Annex I of Directive 91/414/EEC and has been previously evaluated in the Draft Assessment Report (DAR) according to the Commission Regulation (EU) No 1107/2009 (2003) and subject to peer review by EFSA and Member States (2006). The summaries as published in the RAC opinion (2011) are given below.
Acute neurotoxicity
Detzer (2002): The test item was orally administered to groups of male and female Beagle dogs by gavage at single doses of 0, 0.063, 0.125, 0.25, 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 mg/kg bw. The test substance was applied as a solution in water / Cremophor EL (2 %). The application volume was 5 - 10 mL/kg bw.
No treatment-related effects on feed intake or body weight development were observed. At > 0.5 mg/kg bw the animals showed slight cholinergic clinical signs. One animal vomited at 0.5 mg/kg bw. Further dose escalation lead to severe symptoms of intoxication like defecation, shivering, recumbancy, and finally cramps at 2.0 mg/kg bw.
A dose dependent decrease of plasma ChE activity was seen at > 0.125 mg/kg bw with a > 60 % inhibition at 0.5 mg/kg bw. The maximum inhibition occurred 60 to 90 minutes after administration. Determinations after 7, 14, and 21 days indicated full recovery. A dose of 0.5 mg/kg bw caused a slight decrease of ery ChE. Maximal inhibition was 60 to 90 minutes after administration. Recovery was complete after 24 hours.
The determination of brain ChE yielded a time related increase. The increase was most pronounced 2 h after administration. At a dose level of 2.0 mg/kg bw brain ChE was not decreased.
A single oral dose of 0.25 mg test substance per kg bw to dogs was a NOAEL with regard to inhibition of erythrocyte ChE.
