Description of key information

Acute oral toxicity: 

The acute oral toxicity dose (LD50) was considered based on different studies conducted on rats for the given test chemical. The studies concluded that the LD50 value is >2000 mg/kg bw, for acute oral toxicity. Thus, comparing this value with the criteria of CLP regulation, the given test chemical cannot be classified for acute oral toxicity.

Acute Inhalation Toxicity:

The acute inhalation toxicity study need not be conducted because exposure to humans via inhalation route is not likely taking into account due to low vapour pressure of the test chemical, which is reported to be 4.81E-9 hPa. Thus, exposure to inhalable dust, mist and vapour of the chemical is highly unlikely. Therefore this study is considered for waiver. 

 

Acute Dermal toxicity:

The acute dermal toxicity dose (LD50) was considered based on different studies conducted on rats and rabbits for the given test chemical. The studies concluded that LD50 value is >2000 mg/kg bw, for acute dermal toxicity. Thus, comparing this value with the criteria of CLP regulation, the given test chemical cannot be classified for acute dermal toxicity.

Interpretation of results:
other: Not classified
Conclusions:
It was concluded that the acute oral toxicity dose (LD50) value was considered to be >2000 mg/kg bw, when Sprague Dawley rats were treated with the given test chemical via oral route.
Executive summary:

The reported study was designed and conducted to determine the acute oral toxicity profile as per OECD Guideline 423 (Acute Oral toxicity - Acute Toxic Class Method) in Sprague Dawley rats.

Initially, three female animals were treated at the dose level of 300 mg/kg body weight of the test item (Step - I). Administration of the test item at 300 mg/kg resulted in polyurea with onset at 6 hours after the dosing and no mortality at 24 hours after the dosing. As no mortality was observed at 24 hours after the dosing, three female animals were added to the study and treated with the same dose of 300 mg/kg of the test item (Step - II). Administration of the test item at 300 mg/kg resulted in polyurea with onset at 4 to 6 hours after the dosing and no mortality at 24 hours after the dosing. No mortality was observed at 300 mg/kg dose group, hence additional three female animals were treated with the higher dose of 2000 mg/kg of the test item (Step - I). Administration of the test item at 2000 mg/kg resulted in polyurea with onset at 1 to 2 hours after the dosing and no mortality at 24 hours after the dosing. As no mortality were observed at 24 hours after the dosing, additional three female animals were treated with the higher dose of 2000 mg/kg of the test item (Step - II). Administration of the test item at 2000 mg/kg resulted in polyurea with onset at 1 to 2 hours after the dosing and no mortality at 24 hours after the dosing. Gross pathological examination did not reveal any abnormalities in animals from 300 mg/kg and 2000 mg/kg dose groups.

It was concluded that the acute oral toxicity dose (LD50) value was considered to be >2000 mg/kg bw, when Sprague Dawley rats were treated with the given test chemical via oral route.

Interpretation of results:
other: Not classified
Conclusions:
It was concluded that the acute dermal median lethal dose (LD50) of the given test chemical, when administered to female Sprague Dawley rats was considered to be >2000 mg/kg body weight. Thus, according to CLP criteria for acute toxicity rating for the chemicals, it infers that the given test chemical does not classify as an acute dermal toxicant. CLP Classification: “Not classified”.
Executive summary:

The reported study was designed and conducted to determine the acute dermal toxicity profile of the given test chemical as per OECD Guideline 402 (Acute Dermal Toxicity) in Sprague Dawley rats.

In the dose range finding study a single dose of 200 mg/kg body weight of the test item was administered to 1 female animal. No death or clinical signs of toxicity was observed during first 48 hours, hence, additional 1 female animal was administered with the dose of 1000 mg/kg body weight. Administration of 1000 mg/kg body weight did not reveal any clinical signs of toxicity or death during first 48 hours; hence, additional 1 female animal was administered at the dose of 2000 mg/kg body weight. Administration of 2000 mg/kg body weight did not reveal any clinical signs of toxicity or death during first 48 hours.

As the dose range finding study revealed no mortality or clinical signs at the maximum dose of 2000 mg/kg, the main study was initiated with two additional animals. The animals were administered with a dose of 2000 mg/kg body weight in sequential manner at 48 hours intervals.

Animals from dose range finding study treated at the dose levels of 200 mg/kg, 1000 mg/kg and 2000 mg/kg and animals from main study treated at the dose level of 2000 mg/kg exhibited normal body weight gain and revealed no clinical signs of toxicity or mortality during the study period of 14 days. Gross pathological examination did not reveal any abnormalities attributable to the treatment.

It was concluded that the acute dermal median lethal dose (LD50) of the given test chemical, when administered to female Sprague Dawley rats was considered to be >2000 mg/kg body weight. Thus, according to CLP criteria for acute toxicity rating for the chemicals, it infers that the given test chemical does not classify as an acute dermal toxicant. CLP Classification: “Not classified”.

Additional information

Acute oral toxicity:

In different studies, the given test chemical has been investigated for acute oral toxicity to a greater or lesser extent. Often are the studies based on in-vivo experiments in rodents, i.e. most commonly in rats for the given test chemical. The studies are summarized as below –

 

The reported study was mentioned in study report and conducted to determine the acute oral toxicity profile as per OECD Guideline 423 (Acute Oral toxicity - Acute Toxic Class Method) by using the given test chemical in Sprague Dawley rats.

Initially, three female animals were treated at the dose level of 300 mg/kg body weight of the test item (Step - I). Administration of the test item at 300 mg/kg resulted in polyurea with onset at 6 hours after the dosing and no mortality at 24 hours after the dosing. As no mortality was observed at 24 hours after the dosing, three female animals were added to the study and treated with the same dose of 300 mg/kg of the test item (Step - II). Administration of the test item at 300 mg/kg resulted in polyurea with onset at 4 to 6 hours after the dosing and no mortality at 24 hours after the dosing. No mortality was observed at 300 mg/kg dose group, hence additional three female animals were treated with the higher dose of 2000 mg/kg of the test item (Step - I). Administration of the test item at 2000 mg/kg resulted in polyurea with onset at 1 to 2 hours after the dosing and no mortality at 24 hours after the dosing. As no mortality were observed at 24 hours after the dosing, additional three female animals were treated with the higher dose of 2000 mg/kg of the test item (Step - II). Administration of the test item at 2000 mg/kg resulted in polyurea with onset at 1 to 2 hours after the dosing and no mortality at 24 hours after the dosing. Gross pathological examination did not reveal any abnormalities in animals from 300 mg/kg and 2000 mg/kg dose groups.

It was concluded that the acute oral toxicity dose (LD50) value was considered to be >2000 mg/kg bw, when Sprague Dawley rats were treated with the given test chemical via oral route.

 

The above study is supported with the data mentioned in study report and the study was conducted by using the given test chemical under the OECD Guideline-423 for testing of chemicals in Wistar albino rats.

The healthy wistar albino rats of body weight 200±20 gm were selected for study after acclimatization to standard laboratory condition and divided into test compound and vehicle control group each having three animals. The study was conducted stepwise as follow: Starting dose 2000 mg/kg body weight: Step-I - The test compound was mixed with distilled water and administered orally at the dose level of 2000 mg/kg body weight (dose volume 10ml/kg body weight) to three female rats. However; vehicle control group treated with the distilled water at the dose level of 10 ml/kg b.wt.  The treated animals were closely observed for clinical signs of intoxication during first four hours of test compound administration. Thereafter, all the animals were observed periodically at one hour interval for 24 hrs and once daily for a period of 14 days.  The necropsy was performed on all animals at termination of the study. The wistar albino rats treated with the test compound did not produce any mortality and clinical signs of toxicity throughout the observation period. Furthermore, No clinical signs and mortality were observed in vehicle control group. The necropsy finding did not reveal any gross pathological changes. Furthermore, no gross pathological change was observed in vehicle control group.

Step -II: After 72 hrs, the result of step-I was confirmed by administration of same dose level (2000 mg/kg. b.wt) of test compound in additional three animals of same sex (OECD-423 guidelines). The test compound administered at the dose level of 2000 mg/kg b.wt did not produce any mortality and clinical sign of intoxication throughout the observation period of 14 days. The test compound did not elicit any gross pathological changes in animals sacrificed at the end of experimentation.

The acute oral LD50 value was considered to be >2000 mg/kg bw, when rats were treated with test chemical via oral route. Thus, it was concluded that the test compound following the guideline OECD-423 is non toxic to wistar albino rats.

 

These studies are supported with the data available in peer-reviewed journal, authoritative database and different secondary reports for the given test chemical. The acute oral toxicity study was conducted on rats at the dose concentration of 34600 mg/kg bw administered via oral route. All animals were maintained under close observation for recording toxic signs and time of death for 14 days. No mortality observed at 34600 mg/kg bw dose level in treated animals. Therefore, the acute oral LD50 value was considered to be >34600 mg/kg bw, when rats were treated with the given test chemical via oral route.

 

This study is supported with the data available in authoritative database and different secondary sources for the given test chemical. The acute oral toxicity study was conducted on 5 male and 5 female rats at the dose concentration of 2000 mg/kg bw. The test chemical was administered via oral route with polyethylene glycol 400 as a vehicle. All animals were maintained under close observation for recording toxic signs and time of death for 14 days. No mortality observed within 14 days at 2000 mg/kg bw. Therefore, the acute oral LD50 value was considered to be >2000 mg/kg bw, when 10 male and female rats were treated with the given test chemical via oral route.

 

All the above studies are further supported with the data mentioned in secondary source for the given test chemical. Acute oral toxicity study was conducted on male and female Sprague-Dawley rats. Diluted compound was fed by stomach tube to Sprague-Dawley albino male and female rats in increasing doses at 0.3 and 0.2 fractional log intervals. Observations were made for toxic symptoms. No mortality observed at a dose of 50100 mg/kg bw. Therefore, the acute oral LD50 value was considered to be >50100 mg/kg bw, when male and female Sprague-Dawley rats were treated with the given test chemical via oral route.

 

Thus, based on the above summarised studies on test chemical, it can be concluded that LD50 value is >2000 mg/kg bw, for acute oral toxicity. Thus, comparing this value with the criteria of CLP regulation, the given test chemical cannot be classified for acute oral toxicity.

 

Acute Inhalation Toxicity:

The acute inhalation toxicity study need not be conducted because exposure to humans via inhalation route is not likely taking into account due to low vapour pressure of the test chemical, which is reported to be 4.81E-9 hPa. Thus, exposure to inhalable dust, mist and vapour of the chemical is highly unlikely. Therefore this study is considered for waiver. 

 

Acute Dermal Toxicity:

In different studies, the given test chemical has been investigated for acute dermal toxicity to a greater or lesser extent. Often are the studies based on in-vivo experiments in rodents, i.e. most commonly in rats and rabbits for the given test chemical. The studies are summarized as below –

 

The reported study was mentioned in study report and conducted to determine the acute dermal toxicity profile as per OECD Guideline 402 (Acute Dermal Toxicity) by using the given test chemical in Sprague Dawley rats.

In the dose range finding study a single dose of 200 mg/kg body weight of the test item was administered to 1 female animal. No death or clinical signs of toxicity was observed during first 48 hours, hence, additional 1 female animal was administered with the dose of 1000 mg/kg body weight. Administration of 1000 mg/kg body weight did not reveal any clinical signs of toxicity or death during first 48 hours; hence, additional 1 female animal was administered at the dose of 2000 mg/kg body weight. Administration of 2000 mg/kg body weight did not reveal any clinical signs of toxicity or death during first 48 hours. As the dose range finding study revealed no mortality or clinical signs at the maximum dose of 2000 mg/kg, the main study was initiated with two additional animals. The animals were administered with a dose of 2000 mg/kg body weight in sequential manner at 48 hours intervals.

Animals from dose range finding study treated at the dose levels of 200 mg/kg, 1000 mg/kg and 2000 mg/kg and animals from main study treated at the dose level of 2000 mg/kg exhibited normal body weight gain and revealed no clinical signs of toxicity or mortality during the study period of 14 days. Gross pathological examination did not reveal any abnormalities attributable to the treatment.

It was concluded that the acute dermal median lethal dose (LD50) of the given test chemical, when administered to female Sprague Dawley rats was considered to be >2000 mg/kg body weight. Thus, according to CLP criteria for acute toxicity rating for the chemicals, it infers that the given test chemical does not classify as an acute dermal toxicant. CLP Classification: “Not classified”.

 

This study is supported with the data mentioned in another study report and the acute dermal toxicity study was conducted by using the given test chemical according to OECD guideline 402 for testing of chemicals on Wistar albino rats. The summary of the study was as follows- LIMIT TEST (2000 mg/kg body weight): Ten healthy wistar albino rats of both sexes (ranging b.wt 200±20 gm) were selected for study after acclimatization. Approximate 10 percent back skin of total body surface area was prepared 24 hrs prior to application of test compound. The test drug was applied dermally at the dose level of 2000 mg/kg b.wt for each animal. The treated animals were observed for clinical signs of intoxication and mortality continuously for 4 hrs and thereafter at 1 hr interval for period of 24 hrs and twice a day for period of 14 days. The body weight of each rat was observed on day 0 (pre treatment), 7th and 14th (post treatment). The necropsy was performed on all animals at the termination of the study. The test compound applied at the dose level of 2000 mg/kg b.wt in Wistar albino rats did not show any clinical signs of toxicity and mortality throughout the observation period of 14 days. Furthermore, test compound did not elicit any gross pathological changes at the test dose level.

CONFIRMATORY TEST: After 72 hrs, a confirmatory test was conducted in same species of animals to confirm the limit test of test compound (OECD-402 guidelines). Ten healthy wistar albino rats of both sex (ranging b.wt 200±20 gm) were selected for study after acclimatization. Approximate 10 percent back skin of total body surface area was prepared 24 hrs prior to application of test compound. The test compound was applied dermally at the dose level of 2000 mg/kg b.wt to each animal. The treated animals were observed for clinical signs of intoxication and mortality continuously for 4 hrs and thereafter 1 hr interval for period of 24 hrs and twice a day for period of 14 days. The body weight of each rat was observed on day 0 (pre treatment), 7th and 14th (post treatment). The necropsy was performed on all animals which died during the study or were sacrificed at termination of the study.

The test compound did not produce any mortality at the tested dose level of 2000 mg/kg b.wt in wistar albino rats throughout the period of observation. Furthermore, the test compound did not elicit any clinical signs of toxicity in the entire observation period. No skin reaction was observed after 24 hrs of patch removal. The body weight of animals treated with test compound observed on days 7th 14th showed normal gain in body as compared to day 0 (pre-treatment)  

Result obtained from the present investigation it can be concluded that the test compound is acutely non toxic at the tested dose level of 2000 mg/kg b.wt in Wistar albino rats when applied by dermal route.

 

These studies are supported with the data available in authoritative database and different secondary sources for the test chemical. The acute dermal toxicity study was conducted on male and female New Zealand White rabbits at the dose concentration of 10000 mg/kg bw.

The diluted compound was applied in increasing doses at 0.2 fractional log intervals to the closely clipped, intact skin of New Zealand white male and female rabbits. The treated areas were covered with plastic strips and the animals placed in wooden stocks for periods up to 24 hr, after which time they were assigned to individual cages. Observations were made for toxic symptoms and, since there were no deaths, no autopsies were performed. No mortality was observed at 10000 mg/kg bw.

Hence, the acute dermal LD50 value was considered to be >10000 mg/kg bw, when male and female New Zealand White rabbits were treated with the given test chemical via dermal route occlusively.

 

All the above studies are further supported with the data mentioned in authoritative database and secondary source for the given test chemical. Acute dermal toxicity study was conducted on rabbits at the dose concentration of 7940 mg/kg bw. The test chemical was administered via dermal route. All animals were observed for mortality. No mortality was observed at 7940 mg/kg bw dose level. Hence, the acute dermal LD50 value was considered to be >7940 mg/kg bw, when rabbits were treated with test chemical via dermal route.

 

Thus, based on the above summarised studies on test chemical, it can be concluded that LD50 value is >2000 mg/kg bw, for acute dermal toxicity. Thus, comparing this value with the criteria of CLP regulation, the given test chemical cannot be classified for acute dermal toxicity.

 

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the above studies for the test chemical, it can be concluded that LD50 value is >2000 mg/kg bw, for acute oral toxicity and acute dermal toxicity. Thus, comparing these values with the criteria of CLP regulation, the given test chemical cannot be classified for acute oral and acute dermal toxicity. For acute inhalation toxicity wavier was added so, not possible to classify.
