Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

not classified

Remarks:

Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU

Conclusions:

The acute oral LD50 for isotridecanol is greater than 2000 mg/kg.

Executive summary:

In this study, male and female rats were administered a single oral exposure (2000 mg/kg) of isotridecanol to assess the acute oral toxicity.  Clinical evaluations were made at 1, 2, 3, 5, and 24 hours post exposure and daily thereafter for 14 days.  All animals survived the exposure and the only adverse clinical effects were slight sedation and diarrhea noted a few hours after exposure.  These effects were resolved within 24 hours.  It is concluded that the LD50 is greater than 2000 mg/kg.
