- Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
- TEST ANIMALS
- Source: Harlan GmbH, 5960 AD Horst, Netherlands
- Females (if applicable) nulliparous and non-pregnant: yes; At start of the study the animals were nulliparous and non-pregnant and free of all clinical symptoms or diseases.
- Age at study initiation: approx. 8- 12 weeks
- Weight at study initiation: 159 g- 178 g
- Fasting period before study: Yes. For administration, food was withheld from the animals for approximately 16- 24 h before administration of the test item, and they were fed again approximately 2 - 4 h after administration.
- Housing: The animals were group caged conventionally in polycarbonate cages on low dust wood granulate bedding ("SsniffBF 1, Brandenburg Holzfaserstoffe GmbH & Co. KG, Germany"). The cages of the animals were placed on racks. The wood granulate was randomly checked for contaminants at regular intervals. The analyses yielded no evidence of any adverse effects on the aim of the study. Wooden blocks for environmental enrichment were added to each cage. As soon as necessary, they were replaced by new ones. The cages were changed at least once a week. Feed racks and water bottles were not changed. All cage material was washed with hot water. In the first stage of the washing programs an alkaline cleaning agent (Neodisher Alka 300; Chemische Fabrik Dr. Weigert GmbH & Co. KG, concentration: 2.2 g/l) was used.
- Diet (e.g. ad libitum): The animals received the standard diet "ssniffR/M-H 10 mm (Ratten-/Mäuse Haltungsf.) V1534-0, ssniff Spezialdiaten GmbH, 59494 Soest", ad libitum.
- Water (e.g. ad libitum): Tap water ad libitum from polycarbonate bottles.
- Acclimation period: The acclimatization time in the animal room was at least 5 days.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 22±2°C
- Humidity (%): 55±5%
- Air changes (per hr): approx. 10 changes per hour
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12 hours rhythm.
Occasional deviations from these standards occurred, e.g. during cleaning of the animal room. They did not have any apparent influence on the outcome of the study. The animal room was provided with sound from a radio program. - Route of administration:
- oral: gavage
- Vehicle:
- corn oil
- Remarks:
- dried with molecular sieve
- Details on oral exposure:
- VEHICLE
- Concentration in vehicle: 200 mg/ml
- Amount of vehicle (if gavage): 10 ml/kg bw
MAXIMUM DOSE VOLUME APPLIED: 10 ml/kg bw
DOSAGE PREPARATION (if unusual):
For oral administration (gavage), Diethyltolyldiisocyanat was formulated in com oil (dried with molecular sieve). The applied formulations were well mixed before administration. The formulations for administration were prepared at room temperature.
CLASS METHOD (if applicable)
- Rationale for the selection of the starting dose: The starting dose level should be that which is most likely to produce mortality in some of the dosed animals. - Doses:
- 2000 mg/kg bw
- No. of animals per sex per dose:
- 3 + 3 females (one died due to a dosing accident in the second group).
- Control animals:
- no
- Remarks:
- not required
- Details on study design:
- - Duration of observation period following administration: at least 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: Clinical signs and mortality rates were determined several times on the day of application and subsequently at least once daily for an observation period of at least 14 days. The weight gain of the animals was checked weekly until the end of the study.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes
- Other examinations performed: clinical signs, body weight - Statistics:
- The LD50 value was estimated according to OECD- Guideline for Testing of Chemicals No. 423 -"Acute Oral Toxicity- Acute Toxic Class Method"; adopted: December 17, 2001.
- Preliminary study:
- none of the first 3 animals died
- Key result
- Sex:
- female
- Dose descriptor:
- LD50 cut-off
- Effect level:
- 2 000 mg/kg bw
- Based on:
- test mat.
- Remarks on result:
- not determinable due to absence of adverse toxic effects
- Remarks:
- none of the six animals died substance-relatedly; only death was due to gavage error
- Mortality:
- none of the six animals died substance-relatedly; only death was due to gavage error
- Clinical signs:
- other: The following clinical sign was observed: piloerection. One animal died due to a dosing accident and is not taken into account for this study. The clinical signs of this animal were: piloerection, aggravates breathing difficulties and breathing sounds
- Gross pathology:
- The necropsies performed at the end of the study revealed no particular findings. One animal died due to a dosing accident. The necropsy in this animal showed the following change: bloody lung.
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Remarks:
- EU implementation
- Conclusions:
- The study was performed scientifically reasonably according to OECD TG 423 under GLP and is well documented. Hence, the results can be considered as sufficiently reliable to assess the acute oral toxicity of the test item in rats. None of the 6 animals died related to the substance given at a dose of 2000 mg/kg bw. According to OECD guideline 423 the LD50 cut-off of Diethyltolyldiisocyanat is > 2000 mg/kg bw. According to EU Directive 67 /548/EEC and EC Regulation 1272/2008 the test item is unclassified. So it is regarded as non-toxic after oral application.
- Executive summary:
This study was performed to assess the acute oral toxicity of Diethyltolyldiisocyanat to female Wistar rats according to OECD TG 423 under GLP. The test item was formulated in com oil (dried with molecular sieve); the administration volume was 10 mL/kg body weight. The results are summarized in the table below.

According to OECD guideline 423 the LD50 cut-off of Diethyltolyldiisocyanat is > 2000 mg/kg bw. According to EU Directive 67 /548/EEC and EC Regulation 1272/2008 the test item is unclassified. So it is regarded as non-toxic after oral application.
A dose of 2000 mg/kg body weight was tolerated by female rats without mortalities, effects on weight gain and gross pathological findings.
The only clinical sign was piloerection.
One animal died due to a dosing accident and is not taken into account for this study. The clinical signs of this animal were: piloerection, aggravates breathing difficulties and breathing sounds.
The necropsy in this animal showed the following change: bloody lung.
