Death occurred in all animals within 0.5 hours after dosing. The surviving animals showed hunched posture, decreased respiratory rate and laboured respiration with additional signs of ataxia. Lethargy was commonly noted in males treated with 1000 mg/kg and females treated with 2000 mg/kg bw. These clinical signs disappeared within one or two days after exposure. Surviving animals showed expected gain in body weight during the study. Abnormalities noted at necropsy of animals that died during the study were haemorrhagic lungs, dark liver and dark kidneys. No abnormalities were noted at necropsy of animals that were killed at the end of the study.

Based on an LD50 of 619 mg/kg bw, BISOMER PTE is classified for acute oral toxicity cat. 4 according to EC regulation No 1272/2008.

Details on dermal exposure:
One day before exposure (Day -1) an area of approximately 5x7 cm on the back of the animal was clipped.

The test substance formulation was applied in an area of approx. 10% of the total body surface, i.e. approx. 25 cm² for males and 18 cm² for females. The test substance formulation was held in contact with the skin with a dressing, consisting of a surgical gauze patch, successively covered with aluminum foil and Coban elastic bandage. A piece of Micropore tape was additionally used for fixation of the bandages in females only.

Frequency: Single dosage, on Day 1.

Washing: Following application, dressings were removed and the skin cleaned of residual test substance using tap water.

VEHICLE
- Justification for choice of vehicle: The vehicle was selected based on trial formulations performed at WIL Research and on test substance data supplied by the sponsor.

Dose volume: 2000 mg/kg (10 mL/kg) body weight

DOSAGE PREPARATION: The formulation (w/w) was prepared within 4 hours prior to dosing. Homogeneity was accomplished to a visually acceptable level. No correction was made for purity of the test substance. In order to obtain homogeneity, the test substance (formulations) were heated in a water bath with a maximum temperature of 75ºC for a maximum of 17 minutes. The test substance formulation was allowed to cool down to a temperature of maximally 40ºC prior to dosing.

Additional information

Acute oral testing:

An acute oral toxicity test was performed with BISOMER PTE according to the OECD guideline, with male and female rats. At the starting dose (2000 mg/kg bw) all males and 3/5 females died. At the lower doses only males were treated. At 1000 mg/kg bw 3/5 rats died, at 500 mg/kg bw 2/5 rats died. Death occurred in all animals within 0.5 hours after dosing. The surviving animals showed hunched posture, decreased respiratory rate and laboured respiration with additional signs of ataxia. Lethargy was commonly noted in males treated with 1000 mg/kg and females treated with 2000 mg/kg bw. These clinical signs disappeared within one or two days after exposure. Surviving animals showed expected gain in body weight during the study. Abnormalities noted at necropsy of animals that died during the study were haemorrhagic lungs, dark liver and dark kidneys. No abnormalities were noted at necropsy of animals that were killed at the end of the study.

An acute oral toxicity test was conducted with female rats following OECD guidelines according to GLP principles. No mortality occurred. No unexpected changes in body weight gain were reported, and no treatment related clinical signs were observed. Gross macroscopy showed no alterations in any of the major organs of the examined animals.

Acute dermal testing:

An acute dermal toxicity test was conducted with five male and five female rats following OECD and EPA guidelines according to GLP principles. Accelerator (PT 25E or PT 25E/2) was applied occlusively at 2000 mg/kg bw for 24 hours. No mortality occurred. No unexpected changes in body weight gain were reported. Hunched posture, piloerection and/or chromodacryorrhoea were noted in all males and three females on Days 1 and/or two. Hypothermia was noted in one male on Day 2. Two males showed many reddish foci in the thymus and three females showed enlarged size of mandibular lymph nodes during macroscopic post mortem examination. No abnormalities were found in the other animals.


Justification for selection of acute toxicity – oral endpoint
A reliable acute oral toxicity study is used.

Justification for selection of acute toxicity – dermal endpoint
One study available.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the observations in a reliable oral acute toxicity study, the test substance has an acute oral LD50 of 619 mg/kg bw and is classified Cat 4 for acute oral toxicity according to EC regulation No 1272/2008.

Based on the results of an acute dermal toxicity test, Accelerator (PT 25E or PT 25E/2) has an acute LD50 > 2000 mg/kg bw and is not classified for acute dermal toxicity according to EC regulation No 1272/2008.
