All male animals in the 681 mg/kg bw dose group died within 24 hours, additionally, one female died within this group.
In the 1000 mg/kg bw dose group two animals died within 5 days.
In the 1470 mg/kg bw dose group one animal died after 2 days, two further animals died within 5 days.
In the 2150 mg/kg bw dose group two animals died within 24 h and another one within the following 5 days. - Clinical signs:
- other: The results of intoxication were poisoning, characterized by dyspnea, apathy, abnormal positions, stagger, tonic cramps, ruffled haircoat, skin redness, hypohydration, general bad condition starting at a dose level of 215 mg/kg bw, partially 15 min after
- Gross pathology:
- Animals died during the study were examined as soon as possible. In general, accumulative hyperemia is recorded in these animals. In the stomach bloody ulcerations in the regions of glands and in the intestine multiple hämatinised contents were found.
Sacrified animals after the test duration showed no findings. - Other findings:
- No further findings are reported.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- Category 4 based on GHS criteria
- Conclusions:
- The study was performed similar to the standard OECD testing guideline without certificated GLP compliance. The LD50 was identified to be 681 mg/kg bw for both female and male together, resulting in a classification and labeling as "oral toxicity category 4", "H302: Harmful if swallowed" according to EU GHS (1272/2008 EG).
- Executive summary:
The acute oral toxicity of 2 -cyano-N-methylacetamide was investigated in male and female rats. Doses of 215 mg/kg bw, 316 mg/kg bw, 681 mg/kg bw, 1000 mg/kg bw, 1470 mg/kg bw and 2150 mg/kw bw were applied to 5 animals per sex per dose. The substance was administered by oral gavage. The main symptoms of intoxication were dyspnea, apathy, abnormal body positions, staggering, tonic cramps, ruffled haircoat, skin redness, hypohydration and a general bad condition of the animals, starting at the lowest dose level partially already 15 min after application. All male animals (as well as one female rat) died in the dose group of 681 mg/kg bw. Two femals died within 5 days at a dose of 1000 mg/kg bw. In the 1470 mg/kg bw dose group one female died after 2 days, two further animals died within 5 days. Two animals died within 24 h after a dose of 2150 mg/kg bw, followed by one more animal within the following 5 days. No animal died in the lowest dose group. Dead animals were examined as soon as possible, finding included accumulative hyperemia, bloody ulcerations in the stomach glands region and multiple hämatinised contents in the intestine. No oberservations like this were made in the sacrified animals after 14 days. Due to this results, the oral toxicity is characterised by a LD50 value of 681 mg/kg bw for both male and female rats together.
