Additional information
Allyl 2-cyanoacrylate and 2-ethyl cyanoacrylate are structural analogues and share the reactive cyanoacrylate function. The chain length of the alcohol moiety in allyl 2-cyanoacrylate is only slightly different compared to 2-ethyl cyanoacrylate. Both cyanoacrylates are very reactive monomers and polymerize immediately (within 30-60 sec) in the presence of moisture based on the same reaction mechanism. The polymerized materials have a high molecular mass and are not able to penetrate through skin or intestinal wall resulting in low bioavailability. Based on these physico-chemical behaviour conducting an experimental test for assessing the acute oral toxicity of the monomer is technically not meaningful.
The attempted tests already demonstrated that a standard test was technically not feasible. Preliminary tests in aqueous media with allyl 2-cyanoacrylate to determine a LD50 value cannot be performed due to technical reasons based on the chemical properties of the monomer. In presence of moisture allyl 2-cyanoacrylate polymerizes fast (inherent property of instant glues). The monomer was found polymerized in the stomach when administered orally.
Thus, it is concluded that for allyl 2-cyanoacrylate on acute oral toxicity can be drawn from the structural analogue 2-ethyl cyanoacrylate. It was the aim of the study with 2-ethylcyanoacrylate to investigate acute toxic effects of the test substance after a single oral administration.
Methods
The method was similar to the OECD-Guideline 423, "Acute Oral Toxicity - Acute Toxic Class Method".
Administration: Ethyl-2-cyanoacrylate was administered once orally by stomach intubation to 6 male albino rats (5000 mg/kg).
Investigations: The animals were observed during the day of dosing and daily thereafter for 14 days.
Necropsy: all animals were sacrificed and necropsied 14 days p.a.
Results
Mortality: One mortality was observed.
Necropsy findings: The pathological examination showed hemorrhagic lungs, a solid mass in stomach, not adhered to stomach wall but too large to pass through pyloric valve. Cardiac portion of stomach distended. Food in intestines as in a normal rat. One rat had dilated intestinal blood vessels.
The LD50 of ethyl-2-cyanoacrylate is estimated to be higher than 5000 mg/kg body weight in rats for a single dose.
Moreover, in a test according to ISO 10993-11 (1993), Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices Part 11: Test for Systemic Toxicity, it was observed that extracts of the cured, polymerized material did not induce a significantly greater biological reaction than the control articles, when tested in Albino Swiss mice after intraveneous or intraperitoneal injection.
Based on the overall weight of evidence, allyl 2-cyanoacrylate is of low acute toxicity after oral exposure.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Based on available information allyl 2-cyanoacrylate is of low acute toxicity after oral exposure. No classification is required.
