Results and discussion
- Preliminary study:
- A preliminary investigation was conducted using two female rats dosed at 2000 mg/kg body weight. Based on the results of this investigation, the limit dose level was selected for the main study.
Effect levels

- male/female
- Dose descriptor:
- LD0

- Remarks on result:
- other: No irritation reactions or other dermal changes at the sites of application of the test article.
- Mortality:
- No animal died following a single dermal application of methyl iso butyl ketone to rats at 2000 mg/kg body weight.
- Clinical signs:
- other: No clinical signs of systemic reaction to treatment were noted during 14-day observation period. Sores were noted on the dorsum of two animals; however, these were remote from the dose site and not considered to be treatment related. The most likely cau
- Gross pathology:
- No macroscopic changes were apparent during necropsy of the animals killed on Day 15.
- Other findings:
- Not applicable.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- not classified
- Remarks:
- Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: other: CLP (EC 1272/2008)
- Conclusions:
- A single (24-hour) semi-occluded topical application of methyl iso butyl ketone to rats at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg body weight caused no death. No clinical signs of systemic toxicity or dermal reactions to application of the test article were apparent during the observation period. The acute median lethal dermal dose (LD0) and acute dermal minimum lethal dose of methyl iso butyl ketone were found to exceed 2000 mg/kg body weight.
- Executive summary:
The potential acute dermal toxicity study of methyl i-butyl ketone was assessed in Crl:CD. BR rats in accordance with OECD Guidelines for the Testing of Chemicals No. 402 and in compliance with Good Laboratory Practice (Gardner, 1996). In a limit test, 5 male and 5 female rats were treated with 2000 mg/kg body weight of undiluted test article with a semiocclusive covering for 24 hours. Dermal reactions were recorded following removal of the dressing on day 2 and twice daily on days 2, 3, and 4, and once daily from the 5th to 14thday. Rats were weighed before dosing and on days 1, 8, and 15. Necropsy was performed and organ weights were recorded and histopathology was performed. No animals died during the test or observation period and no clinical signs of toxicity were noted. Additionally, there were no irritation reactions or other dermal changes at the sites of application of the test article. All animals achieved body weight gains during the first and second weeks of the study and there were no macroscopic changes observed at necropsy. The acute median lethal dose was determined to be greater than 2000 mg/kg body weight.
