Control animals:

no

Details on study design:

Animals (5/sex) were fasted overnight prior to compound administration. Animals recieved 1,9-Nonanediol as a single dose administered by oral gavage in 1% MC (dose volume 20 mL/kg bw) at 1260, 2000, 3200, 4000 or 5000 mg/kg bw. Clinical signs and body weight were monitored for 14 days following dosing. Animals were then necropsied and examined macroscopically.

Statistics:

Probit analysis

Results and discussion

The acute median lethal oral dose to male and female rats was >2500 mg/kg bw.

Mortality:

Preliminary toxicity test:
1 male and 1 female died within 2 h of dosing

Main study:
Mortality was observed in males at 2000, 3200 and 5000 mg/kg bw and females at 3200, 4000 and 5000 mg/kg bw (refer to table below)

Clinical signs:

other: Piloerection was observed in all rats within 5 minutes of dosing. This was accompanied by: - hunched posture, abnormal gait and lethargy in the majority of rats dosed at 1260, 2000, 3200 and 4000 mg/kg bw - decreased respiration and pallor of the extremit

Gross pathology:

No treatment related effects were observed.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

Under the conditions of this study the rat acute oral LD50 was >2000 mg/kg bw in males and females. Therefore, according to Annex I for Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 the active ingredient, 1,9-Nonanediol has no obligatory labelling requirement for acute oral toxicity and is unclassified

Executive summary:

In a rat acute oral toxicity study 5 male and 5 female Sprague-Dawley rats received as single oral dose (via gavage) of 1,9-Nonanediol suspended in 0.5% w/v methylcellulose at 1260, 2000, 3200, 4000 or 5200 mg/kg bw. Rats were observed for 14 days. For all rats body weights were measured and a gross necropsy was performed at the end of the observation period.

 

Treatment related clinical signs included hunched post mortem abnormal gait, ataxia and lethargy in the majority of animals dose at all levels. Group mean body weight gains were not affected. Mortality was observed in males dosed at 2000 mg/kg bw and above an in females dosed at 3200 mg/kg bw and above. No abnormalities were recorded at necropsy.

 

The EU endpoint conclusion was that the rat acute oral LD50 was >2000 mg/kg bw in males and females. Therefore, according to Annex I for Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 the active ingredient, 1,9-Nonanediol has no obligatory labelling requirement for acute oral toxicity and is unclassified.
