Guideline:
OECD Guideline 401 (Acute Oral Toxicity)
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Seven or eight groups of 10 male and 10 female young adult Wister rats (weight 160 - 200 g) each received per gavage a single dose of 100, 1000, 1500, 1750, 2000, 2500, 3000, or 5000 mg/kg bw (male rats) and 100, 500, 1000, 1250, 1500, 2000, or 2500 mg/kg bw (female rats) 4-trifluormethoxyphenyl isocyanate. The animals were observed for mortality and clinical signs through day 14. A gross pathological examination was performed on animals which died during the observation period or were killed after termination of the study.

Mortality:
The corresponding mortality for male rats was 0% (100 mg/kg bw), 0% (1000 mg/kg bw), 0% (1500 mg/kg bw), 20% (1750 mg/kg bw), 60% (2000 mg/kg bw), 70% (2500 mg/kg bw), 80% (3000 mg/kg bw) and 90% (5000 mg/kg bw) respectively.

The corresponding mortality for female rats was 0% (100 mg/kg bw), 0% (500 mg/kg bw), 0% (1000 mg/kg bw), 20% (1250 mg/kg bw), 40% (1500 mg/kg bw), 90% (2000 mg/kg bw) and 100% (2500 ml/kg bw) respectively.
Other findings:
necropsy on animals which died during post-observation period: lung spotted, partly slight emphysema, stomach empty, mucosa of forestomach wihite, hardened, intestine with dark, mucous content.

necropsy of animals killed of post-observation period: mucosa of the forestomach showed a slight hardness, other organs without findings

Any other information on results incl. tables

Signs of intoxication: Central nervous effects with laboured breathing, uncoordinated motions, cyanosis, decreased motility and in higher doses aggresivity and partly cramps.


Biginning of symptoms: 15 to 30 minutes in the lower dose groups and 5 to 10 minutes in the letal dose range.


Duration of symptoms: 2 to 6 days


A dose of 100 mg/kg bw was tolerated by male and female rats without symptoms.


The acute oral LD50 for male rats was 2170 mg/kg bw for male rats and 1525 mg/kg bw for female rats

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 4 based on GHS criteria
Remarks:
Based on EU GHS criteria

Signs of intoxication were apathy. decreased motolity, cyanosis, laboured breathing and cramps. The LD50 for female rats was 1525 mg/kg bw and the LD50 for male rats was 2170 mg/kg bw.
Executive summary:

Seven or eight groups of 10 male and 10 female young adult Wister rats (weight 160 - 200 g) each reveived per gavage a single dose of 100, 1000, 1500, 1750, 2000, 2500, 3000, or 5000 mg/kg bw (male rats) and 100, 500, 1000, 1250, 1500, 2000, or 2500 mg/kg bw (female rats) 4-trifluormethoxyphenyl isocyanate. The animals were observed for mortality and clinical signs through day 14. A gross pathological examination was performed on animals which died during the observation period or were killed after termination of the study.
