Administrative data
Description of key information
The substance caused no toxicity in rats upon single oral dosing of 10000 mg/kg bw (BASF AG, 1976). Based on key study results and experimental data with linear alkylbenzene sulfonate (LAS) salts, the CAS no. 75247-18-6 is considered to be of low acute dermal toxicity with a LD50 above 2000 mg/kg bw (BASF AG, 1976, read across from CAS number 28654-73-1 (for more details please refer to chapter 13 of the IUCLID, Assessment reports); SIAP, 2005). Similar results were obtained in the acute inhalation toxicity study (BASF AG, 1976). Thereby no mortality was observed (LC0: 13.35 mg/L) and no clinical signs appeared. In a study with mice (BASF AG, 1976) mortality occurred in all dose groups (1470, 2150, 3160 mg/kg bw) after intraperitoneal injection.

- BASF test (IHT):
The test demonstrates the toxicity of an atmosphere enriched with dust of the test substance at room temperature. Young adult laboratory rats, 6 per sex, were exposed sequentially to the dust generated by bubbling 200 L/h air through a substance column of about 5 cm above a fritted glass disc in a glass cylinder for 8 h. The nominal concentration was calculated as quotient of the amount of test substance weight loss during exposure, and the amount of air used during exposure. Group-wise documentation of clinical signs was performed over a 7 day study period. Body weight of groups was determined before the start of the study and at the end of the observation period. - GLP compliance:

Additional information
Acute oral toxicity
In the key acute oral toxicity study (BASF AG, 1976, equivalent to OECD 401), groups of 5 Sprague-Dawley rats per dose level were exposed by single oral gavage to the test item (vehicle: carboxymethyl cellulose) of 10000 mg/kg bw (21.6 mL/kg bw). Animals were observed for 14 days. No mortality occurred. Blue colouring of faeces and diarrhea were observed. The oral LD50 was determined to be > 10000 mg/kg bw in male and female rats.
Acute inhalation toxicity
In an acute inhalation toxicity study (BASF AG, 1976) a group of three rats was exposed by inhalation route (whole body) to the test item for 8 hours at a single concentration of 13.35 mg/L (a nominal concentration was calculated as quotient of the amount of test substance weight loss, and the amount of air used during exposure). A control group was treated only with air. Animals then were observed for 7 days. No animal died and no clinical signs were observed.
Acute dermal toxicity
Experimental data on acute dermal toxicity is not available for this substance. Considering the low dermal absorption and the low toxicity upon intraperitoneal injection, no acute hazard for acute dermal toxicity is expected. In addition, experimenteal data showing absence of a hazard is available on the colorant cation (CAS 28654 -73 -1) of the test substance:
In an acute dermal toxicity study (BASF AG, 1976, equivalent to OECD 402) the potential of the structural analogue CAS number 28654 -73 -1 (read across) to exert systemic toxicity was examined in groups of five Sprague-Dawley rats per sex that were occlusively exposed for 24 hours and then observed for 14 days. Animals received 2500 mg/kg bw (5 mL/kg bw). No animal died and no local or systemic signs were observed. The identified LD50 value was > 2500 mg/kg bw in male and female rats.
In addition, experimetal data from acute dermal toxicity studies with the linear alkylbenzene sulfonate (LAS) salts, a chemical category to which CAS no. 75247 -18 -6 belongs to, showed a LD50 value of > 2000 mg/kg bw. This substance represents the anion of the test substance.
Regarding the available data on acute dermal toxicity for LAS salts and CAS no. 28654-73-1 and using a conservative approach, the LD50 of the target chemical CAS no. 75247-18-6 is considered to be at least > 2000 mg/kg bw.
Other route
In an acute toxicity study (BASF AG, 1976) the test item was administered to 5 mice per sex via intraperitoneal injection at dose levels of 1470, 2150 or 3160 mg/kg bw. Observation period was until day 14 following treatment. At the beginning of treatment, a decrease in body weight occurred. Clinical signs were observed like dyspnoe, apathy, spastic movement and bad general conditions. Gross pathology revealed intraabdominal substance deposition and sporadic agglutinations. Based on the mortality incidences of 6/10, 10/10 and 10/10 noted at 1470, 2150 and 3160 mg/kg bw, respectively, the LD50 for the i.p. route of exposure was considered to be approximately 1400 mg/kg bw.
