other: see 'Remark'

Remarks:

Study performed to GLP and guideline. The chlorinated isocyanurates (sodium dichloroisocyanurate and sodium dichloroisocynaurate dihydrate) produce free available chlorine, in the form of hypochlorous acid (HOCl) as they dissolve in water. As the equilibria involve all of the possible chlorinated isocyanurates, the toxicity of sodium dichloroisocyanurate (NaDCC) and sodium dichloroisocyanurate dihydrate (NaDCC.2H2O) will be virtually equivalent at the same available chlorine concentration. The parent compound for all chlorinated isocyanurates is isocyanuric acid (cyanuric acid). All of the chlorinated isocyanurates are essentially equivalent, once they are dissolved in water at the low concentrations at which they are used. Therefore read across from sodium dichloroisocyanurate dihydrate to troclosene sodium is justified.

TEST ANIMALS
- Source: Charles River Breeding Laboratories, Kingston, New York, USA
- Weight at study initiation: 200.4 – 234.7 g
- Housing: Suspended wire mesh cages
- Diet: ad libitum
- Water: ad libitum
- Acclimation period: No less than 7 days

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:

oral: gavage

Vehicle:

other: corn oil

Details on oral exposure:

VEHICLE
- Concentration in vehicle: 150, 200, 250, 300 and 400 mg/mL
- Amount of vehicle (if gavage): 10 mL/kg



DOSAGE PREPARATION: The test material was first put through a 40 mesh sieve and then the appropriate amount of test material was weighed on an electronic balance and transferred to a beaker. A small amount of corn oil was first added to make a paste and then the remaining required amount of vehicle was added to the beaker and stirred on a magentic stirrer for approcimately 5 to 10 minutes.

Doses:

Range finding study: 500, 1000, 1250, 1500 and 2000 mg/kg bw
Main study: 1500, 2000, 2500, 3000 and 4000 mg/kg bw

No. of animals per sex per dose:

5

Control animals:

no

Details on study design:

- Duration of observation period following administration: All of the rats were observed for signs of toxicity and pharmacologic effects at 1, 2 and 3 hours post does, and once daily thereafter for 14 consecutive days. .
- Frequency of observations and weighing: Mortality and moribundity was recorded twice daily. Individual body weights were recorded prior to treatment, on day 7 and at death or termination
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes

Statistics:

The mortality data were anlayzed for the males and the sexes by a logit regression method (Bliss, 1952) and for the females by a modified Behrens-Reed-Muench Method (Thakur and Fezio, 1981).

Clinical signs:

other: A variety of commonly noted clinical signs were observed in all groups with severity increasing with increasing dose.

Gross pathology:

Animals which survived to termination showed no observable gross pathology findings. Gross pathology findings in found dead animals included observations in the stomach, intestines, lung, liver and abdominal cavity

The study was performed on sodium dichloroisocyanurate dihydrate. In order to convert the LD50 values to the anhydrous form the following calculation is applied:

Lowest LD50 = 1671 mg/kg (females)

MW of sodium dichloroisocyanurate dihydrate = 256

MW of sodium dichloroisocyanurate anhydrous = 220

220/256 x 1671 = 1436 mg/kg

Therefore the LD50 value for sodium dichloroisocyanurate anhydrous is 1436 mg/kg
