Details on oral exposure:
The available toxicity data suggested that an initial dose level of 2000 mg/kg would be suitable. The main study dose level was selected based on the results from the dose range-finding study.

The test material was administered orally in a single dose by means of a gavage at a constant dose volume of 10 ml/kg.
The dose was calculated based on the weight of the animal on the day of dosing.
Doses:
dose level: 2000 mg/kg
No. of animals per sex per dose:
A preliminary dose range-finding, using one female, at 2000 mg/kg indicated that this dose level would be suitable for the main study. 5 females and 5 males were used for this main study.
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
The dose was calculated based on the weight of the animal on the day of dosing.

Formulations were administered within approximately 1 hour of preparation and were magnetically stirred during dosing.
All the animals were checked for viability early in the morning and again as late as possible on each day until sacrifice on Day 8 (dose range-finding) or Day 15 (main study).
Statistics:
No formal statistical analysis was conducted
Preliminary study:
The available toxicity data suggested that an initial dose level of 2000 mg/kg would be suitable. The main study dose level was selected based on the results from the dose range-finding study.

Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
Species Rat, Wistar strain, Crl:WI (Han) (outbred, SPF-Quality). Recognized by international guidelines as the recommended test system (e.g. OECD, EC). Source: Charles River Deutschland, Sulzfeld, Germany.

Number of animals: 5 males and 5 females (females were nulliparous and non-pregnant).
Age and body weight: Young adult animals (approx. 10 weeks old) were selected. Body weight variation did not exceed +/- 20% of the sex mean.

Conditions
Environmental controls for the animal room were set to maintain 18 to 24°C, a relative humidity of 40 to 70%, at least 10 air changes/hour, and a 12-hour light/12-hour dark cycle. Any variations to these conditions were maintained in the raw data and had no effect on the outcome of the study.

Accommodation
Individually housed in labeled Makrolon cages (MIII type, height 18 cm.) containing sterilized sawdust as bedding material (Lignocel S 8-15, JRS - J.Rettenmaier & Söhne GmbH + CO. KG, Rosenberg, Germany) and paper as cage-enrichment (Enviro-dri, Wm. Lillico & Son (Wonham Mill Ltd), Surrey, United Kingdom).
Acclimatization period was at least 5 days before start of treatment under laboratory conditions. During the acclimatization period the animals were group housed in Makrolon cages (MIV type, height 18 cm).

Diet
Free access to pelleted rodent diet (SM R/M-Z from SSNIFF® Spezialdiäten GmbH, Soest, Germany).

Water
Free access to tap water.

Diet, water, bedding and cage enrichment evaluation for contaminants and/or nutrients was performed according to facility standard procedures. There were no findings that could interfere with the study.
Type of coverage:
open
Vehicle:
CMC (carboxymethyl cellulose)
Remarks:
1% Aqueous carboxymethyl Not indicated cellulose
Details on dermal exposure:
The formulation was applied on an area of approx. 10% of the total body surface, i.e. approx. 25 cm² for males and 18 cm² for females. The formulation was held in contact with the skin with a dressing, consisting of a surgical gauze patch (Surgy 1D), successively covered with aluminum foil and Coban elastic bandage*. A piece of Micropore tape* was additionally used for fixation of the bandages in females only.
*. Manufacturers: Laboratoires Stella s.a., Liege, Belgium (surgical gauze) and 3M, St. Paul, Minnesota, U.S.A. (Coban & Micropore).
Duration of exposure:
24 hours, after which dressings were removed and the skin cleaned of residual test substance using tap water.
Doses:
2000 mg/kg (10 mL/kg) body weight.
No. of animals per sex per dose:
5/sex/group
Control animals:
not specified
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 15 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: Animals were subjected to daily observations and weekly determination of body weight. Mortality/viability was observed twice daily. Animals were weighed on days 1 (pre-administration), 8 and 15. Clinical signs were observed at periodic intervals on the day of dosing (Day 1) and once daily thereafter, until Day 15.
- Terminal sacrifice was performed on day 15
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:

Effect level:
> 2 000 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
Mortality:
No mortality occurred.
Clinical signs:
other: Lethargy, flat posture, hunched posture, piloerection, chromodacryorrhoea (snout) and/or ptosis were noted for the animals on Day 1. White staining and/or scales were seen in the treated skin-area of the animals between Days 2 and 11.
Gross pathology:
No abnormalities were found at macroscopic post mortem examination of the animals.
Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The dermal LD50 value of Montelukast Backbone Diol in Wistar rats was established to exceed 2000 mg/kg body weight.

Based on these results, Montelukast Backbone Diol does not have to be classified and has no obligatory labelling requirement for acute dermal toxicity according to the:
- Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) of the United Nations (2011) (including all amendments),
- Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 on classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures (including all amendments).

Additional information

Acute toxicity oral: .

There were no premature decedents or major clinical signs noted during the observation period., body weight performance was considered to be satisfactory, and there were no abnormalities detected at necropsy.Un

under the conditions of the study following a single oral administration of the substance to Sprague-Dawley rats, no mortality and no toxicity occurred at 2000 mg/kg. Acute dermal toxicity: No mortality occurred. Clinical signs: Lethargy, flat posture, hunched posture, piloerection, chromodacryorrhoea (snout) and/or ptosis were noted for the animals on Day 1. White staining and/or scales were seen in the treated skin-area of the animals between Days 2 and 11. The changes noted in body weight gain in males and females were within the range expected for rats used in this type of study and were therefore considered not indicative of toxicity. No abnormalities were found at macroscopic post mortem examination of the animals.

Justification for classification or non-classification

The key studies are an acute oral toxicity study and an acute dermal toxicity in rats with an LD50 of >2000 mg/kg.

Based on these results, Montelukast Backbone Diol does not have to be classified and has no obligatory labelling requirement for acute dermal toxicity according to the:

- Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) of the United Nations (2011) (including all amendments),

- Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 on classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures (including all amendments).
