Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
Female Wistar (RccHan™:WIST) strain rats were supplied by Harlan Laboratories UK Ltd., Oxon, UK. On receipt the animals were randomly allocated to cages. The females were nulliparous and non-pregnant. After an acclimatization period of at least five days the animals were selected at random and given a number unique within the study by indelible ink marking on the tail and a number written on a cage card. At the start of the study the animals were eight to twelve weeks of age. The body weight variation did not exceed ± 20% of the body weight of the initially dosed animal.

The animals were housed in groups of up to three in suspended solid floor polypropylene cages furnished with woodflakes. With the exception of an overnight fast immediately before dosing and for approximately three to four hours after dosing, free access to mains drinking water and food (2014C Teklad Global Rodent diet supplied by Harlan Laboratories UK Ltd., Oxon, UK) was allowed throughout the study. The diet, drinking water and bedding were routinely analyzed and were considered not to contain any contaminants that would reasonably be expected to affect the purpose or integrity of the study.

The temperature and relative humidity were set to achieve limits of 19 to 25 °C and 30 to 70% respectively. The rate of air exchange was at least fifteen changes per hour and the lighting was controlled by a time switch to give twelve hours continuous light (06:00 to 18:00) and twelve hours darkness.

The animals were provided with environmental enrichment items which were considered not to contain any contaminant of a level that might have affected the purpose or integrity of the study.
Route of administration:
oral: gavage
Vehicle:
water
Details on oral exposure:
Test item preparation:
For the purpose of the study the test item was freshly prepared, as required, as a solution in distilled water.

The test item was formulated within two hours of being applied to the test system. It is assumed that the formulation was stable for this duration.

No analysis was conducted to determine the homogeneity, concentration or stability of the test item formulation. This is an exception with regard to GLP and has been reflected in the GLP compliance statement.

Procedure:
Using available information on the toxicity of the test item, 2000 mg/kg was chosen as the starting dose.

Groups of fasted animals were treated as follows:

Dose Level (mg/kg) Concentration (mg/mL) Dose Volume (mL/kg) Number of Rats
2000 200 10 3
2000 200 10 3

Dosing:
All animals were dosed once only by gavage, using a metal cannula attached to a graduated syringe. The volume administered to each animal was calculated according to the fasted body weight at the time of dosing. Treatment of animals was sequential. Sufficient time was allowed between each group to confirm the survival of the previously dosed animals.

Doses:
2000 mg/kg
No. of animals per sex per dose:
3 animals per dose group (all females)
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration:

Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The acute oral median lethal dose (LD50) of the test item in the female Wistar strain rat was estimated to be greater than 2000 mg/kg body weight (Globally Harmonized Classification System - Category 5, >2000 – 5000 mg/kg body weight).

The test item does not meet the criteria for classification according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, relating to the Classification, Labelling and Packaging of Substances and Mixtures.

Executive summary:

Introduction:

The study was performed to assess the acute oral toxicity of the test item in the Wistar strain rat.

 

Methods:

A group of three fasted females was treated with the test item at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg body weight. This was followed by a further group of three fasted females at the same dose level. Dosing was performed sequentially.

 

The test item was administered orally as asolutionindistilled water. Clinical signs and body weight development were monitored during the study. All animals were subjected to gross necropsy.

 

Results:

Mortality. One animal was found dead one day after dosing.

 

Clinical Observations. Signs of systemic toxicity noted in the animal that died during the study were hunched posture, lethargy, pilo‑erection and cyanosis. Diarrhea was noted in the second group of three animals. Blue stained urine and feces was noted in all animals. All visible skin and eyes of four animals were stained blue.

 

Body Weight. Surviving animals showed expected gains in body weight over the observation period, except for one animal which showed expected gain in body weight during the first week but body weight loss during the second week.

 

Necropsy. Discoloration of the heart, lungs, liver, spleen, kidneys, gastric mucosa, non‑glandular epithelium of the stomach, small and large intestines and bladder and dark blue colored liquid present in the stomach were noted at necropsy of the animal that died during the study. Discoloration of the heart, liver, kidneys, gastric mucosa, non‑glandular epithelium of the stomach and small and large intestines were noted at necropsy of one animal that was killed at the end of the study. Discolored kidneys were noted at necropsy of two animals that were killed at the end of the study. No abnormalities were noted at necropsy of two animals that were killed at the end of the study.

Conclusion:

The acute oral median lethal dose (LD50) of teh test item in the female Wistar strain rat was astimated to be greater than 2000 mg/kg body weight (Globally Harmonized Classification System - Category 5, >2000 - 5000 mg/kg body weight).

The test item does not meet the criteria for classification according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, relating to the Classification, Labelling and Packaging of Substances and Mixtures.

Details on inhalation exposure:
GENERATION OF TEST ATMOSPHERE / CHAMBER DESCRIPTION
- Exposure apparatus: a stainless steel, conventional nose-only exposure system with rubber grommets in exposure ports to engage the animal holding tubes
- Exposure chamber volume: 7.9-L
- Method of holding animals in test chamber: animals were restrained in nose-only exposure holding tubes during exposure
- Source and rate of air: airflow rates through the exposure system were calculated from the airflow required for aerosol generation and provided a minimum of 12 air changes per hour through the exposure system
- Method of conditioning air: airflow to the exposure system was provided using a dry, breathing quality, in-house, compressed air source. A temperature and relative humidity transmitter probe (model no. HX94C, Omega Engineering, Inc., Stamford, CT) was used with a display unit to monitor temperature and percent relative humidity.
- System of generating particulates/aerosols: The test substance was delivered at a constant rate to a jet mill air micronizer using an auger-type dry material feeder. The Accurate feeder was equipped with two Syntron Vibrators and a ½-inch solid core auger. Dry compressed air was supplied to the micronizing and inlet ports of the jet mill to affect aerosolization of the test substance using 2 regulators. The resulting aerosol from the jet mill was delivered to a 2-inch PVC elbow fitting (position downward) located approximately 11-inches from the bottom of a 4-inch × 44-inch PVC pipe set. This settling pipe was in a vertical orientation to remove large particles from the aerosol atmosphere. The test substance atmosphere was delivered from the top of the settling pipe to a glass cyclone to further reduce particle size. From the cyclone, test substance atmosphere was directed to the nose-only exposure system through 22-mm corrugated respiratory tubing.
- Method of particle size determination: two aerosol particle size measurements were conducted during the exposure using a 7-stage stainless-steel cascade impactor. Pre weighed, 22-mm stainless-steel collection substrates were used as the collection substrates for stages 1 through 7 and a 25-mm glass-fiber filter (Type A/E, PALL Corporation) was used as the collection substrate for the final stage. Samples were collected at approximately 0.9 L/minute for 1.5 minutes. The filters were re-weighed and the particle size was calculated based on the impactor stage cut-offs. The aerosol size was expressed as the MMAD and the GSD.
- Treatment of exhaust air: exhaust atmosphere was filtered using a Solberg filter prior to entering the facility exhaust system, which includes redundant exhaust blowers preceded by activated-charcoal and HEPA-filtration units.
- Temperature, humidity, pressure in air chamber: 19°C, 18%, airflow rate 60.7 L/min

Conclusions:
Based on the results of this study, the LC50 of FAT 20341/A TE was greater than the MAC (Maximum Attainable Concentration; 1.3 mg/L), with a particle size <4 µm, when male and female Crl:CD(SD) albino rats were exposed to a dust aerosol of the test substance as a single, 4-hour, nose-only exposure.
Executive summary:

Acute inhalation toxicity of FAT 20341/A TE was studied according to OECD 403. The test substance was administered to 1 group of 5 male and 5 female rats via 4 hours nose-only inhalation exposure as a dust aerosol at a concentration of 1.3 mg/L, the Maximum Attainable Concentration (MAC) with a particle size <4 µm. The aerosol exposure atmosphere was characterized by a mean particle size of 2.5 ± 3.13 µm (MMAD ± GSD). None of the animals died during exposure or during the 14-day post-exposure observation period. Significant clinical observations immediately following exposure included rales and labored respiration rate. Significant clinical observation at the 1 to 2 hours post-exposure observation period included rales, rapid respiration rate, labored respiration rate, increased respiration rate, and hypoactivity. Significant clinical observations for the surviving animals during the 14-day post-exposure observation period included rales, increased respiration rate, partial closure of the eyes, small feces, and decreased defecation and urination. All animals lost weight from study day 0 to 1. All animals surpassed their initial body (study day 0) weight by study day 14. Macroscopic findings noted for animals at the scheduled necropsy were blue discoloration of the lungs, trachea, skin, tail, and testes.

Based on the results of this study, the LC50of FAT 20341/A TE was greater than the MAC (Maximum Attainable Concentration; 1.3 mg/L), with a particle size <4 µm, when male and femaleCrl:CD(SD)albino rats were exposed to a dust aerosol of the test substance as a single, 4‑hour, nose-only exposure. In accordance with the CLP Regulation FAT 20341/A TE needs not to be classified for acute inhalation toxicity.

Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
Five male and five female Wistar (RccHan:WIST) strain rats were supplied by Harlan Laboratories UK Ltd., Oxon, UK. On receipt the animals were randomly allocated to cages. The females were nulliparous and non pregnant. After an acclimatization period of at least five days the animals were selected at random and given a number unique within the study by indelible ink marking on the tail and a number written on a cage card. At the start of the study the animals weighed at least 200 g, and were eight to twelve weeks of age. The weight variation did not exceed ±20% of the mean weight for each sex.

The animals were housed in suspended solid floor polypropylene cages furnished with woodflakes. The animals were housed individually during the 24 Hour exposure period and in groups of five, by sex, for the remainder of the study. Free access to mains drinking water and food (2014C Teklad Global Rodent diet supplied by Harlan Laboratories UK Ltd., Oxon, UK) was allowed throughout the study. The diet, drinking water and bedding were routinely analyzed and were considered not to contain any contaminants that could reasonably be expected to affect the purpose or integrity of the study.

The temperature and relative humidity were set to achieve limits of 19 to 25 C and 30 to 70% respectively. The rate of air exchange was at least fifteen changes per hour and the lighting was controlled by a time switch to give twelve hours continuous light (06:00 to 18:00) and twelve hours darkness.

The animals were provided with environmental enrichment items which were considered not to contain any contaminant of a level that might have affected the purpose or integrity of the study.

Procedure:
On the day before treatment the back and flanks of each animal were clipped free of hair.

Using available information on the toxicity of the test item, a group of five male and five female rats was treated with the test item at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg.

The appropriate amount of test item, moistened with distilled water, was applied as evenly as possible to an area of shorn skin (approximately 10% of the total body surface area). A piece of surgical gauze was placed over the treatment area and semi occluded with a piece of self adhesive bandage. The animals were caged individually for the 24 Hour exposure period. Shortly after dosing the dressings were examined to ensure that they were securely in place.

After the 24 Hour contact period the bandage was carefully removed and the treated skin and surrounding hair wiped with cotton wool moistened with a suitable solvent to remove any residual test item. The animals were returned to group housing for the remainder of the study period.

Duration of exposure:
24 hours
Doses:
2000 mg /kg body weight
No. of animals per sex per dose:

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The acute dermal median lethal dose (LD50) of the test item in the Wistar strain rat was found to be greater than 2000 mg/kg body weight.

The test item does not meet the criteria for classification according to the Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, relating to the Classification, Labeling and Packaging of Substances and Mixtures.


Executive summary:

Introduction:

The study was performed to assess the acute dermal toxicity of the test item in the Wistar strain rat.

 

Methods:

A group of ten animals (five males and five females) was given a single, 24 hour, semi‑occluded dermal application of the test item to intact skin at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg body weight. Clinical signs and body weight development were monitored during the study. All animals were subjected to gross necropsy.

  

Results:

Mortality. There were no deaths.

Clinical Observations. There were no signs of systemic toxicity.

Dermal Irritation. A hardened light brown colored scab was noted at the test site of one female. There were no signs of dermal irritation noted at the test sites of the remaining animals.

Body Weight. Animals showed expected gains in body weight, except for two males which showed expected gain in body weight during the first week but body weight loss during the second week.

Necropsy. No abnormalities were noted at necropsy.

 

Conclusion:

The acute dermal median lethal dose (LD50) of the test item in the Wistar strain rat was found to be greater than 2000 mg/kg body weight.

 

The test item does not meet the criteria for classification according to the Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, relating to the Classification, Labeling and Packaging of Substances and Mixtures.

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Value:
2 000 mg/kg bw
Quality of whole database:
Study Klimisch 1.

Additional information

The first study was performed to assess the acute oral toxicity of the test item in the Wistar strain rat.

The acute oral median lethal dose (LD50) of FAT 20341/A TE in the female Wistar strain rat was estimated to be greater than 2000 mg/kg body weight (Globally Harmonized Classification System - Unclassified).

The test item does not meet the criteria for classification according to the Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, relating to the Classification, Labeling and Packaging of Substances and Mixtures.

The second study was performed to assess the acute inhalation toxicity of the test item in the Crl:CD(SD) strain rat.

the LC50 of FAT 20341/A TE was greater than the MAC (Maximum Attainable Concentration; 1.3 mg/L), with a particle size <4 μm, when male and female Crl:CD(SD) albino rats were exposed to an aerosol of the test substance as a single, 4-hour, nose-only exposure. Because LC50> MAC and none of the animals died during test, the substance does not need to be classified.

The third study was performed to assess the acute dermal toxicity of the test item in the Wistar strain rat.

The acute dermal median lethal dose (LD50) of FAT 20341/A TE in the Wistar strain rat was found to be greater than 2000 mg/kg body weight.

The test item does not meet the criteria for classification according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, relating to the Classification, Labelling and Packaging of Substances and Mixtures.
