Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

The acute oral toxicity of Flufenaminsäurebutylester was studied in rats, mice, dogs and rabbits.

The acute oral LD50 for rats was determined to be 1020 mg/kg (males) or 1680 mg/kg (females) (suspended in peanut oil) or 510 mg/kg (suspended in 1% carboxymethylcellulose), respectively.

The acute dermal toxicity of Flufenaminsäurebutylester was studied in rats, mice, dogs and rabbits.

The acute dermal LD50 for rats was determined to be greater than 5000 mg/kg (suspended in 1% carboxymethylcellulose).

The acute intraperitoneal toxicity of Flufenaminsäurebutylester was studied in rats, mice, dogs and rabbits.

The acute intraperitoneal LD50 for rats was determined to be 4550 mg/kg (suspended in 1% carboxymethylcellulose).

The acute subcutaneous toxicity of Flufenaminsäurebutylester was studied in rats, mice, dogs and rabbits.

The acute subcutaneous LD50 for rats was determined to be greater than 5000 mg/kg (suspended in 1% carboxymethylcellulose).

The acute intravenous toxicity of Flufenaminsäurebutylester was studied in rats and mice.

The acute intravenous LD50 for rats was determined to be 650 mg/kg (suspended in 1% carboxymethylcellulose).

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the study results Flufenaminsäurebutylester has to be classified according to Directive 67/548/EEC and Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (CLP) as harmful if swallowed (Xn, R22) and as acute oral toxic, category 4 (H302), respectively.
